Essential oils are a great way to promote focus, concentration and a peaceful environment

 

Plus…they smell amazing!!!

 

It’s that time of the year!

Being that it is back to school time, I am on a mission to start the year off right. I want to set clear guidelines and rules of the classroom, and am looking to have the classroom run as smoothly as possible as soon as possible. There are children returning from Summer vacation, children who are new, and others that were at the school during Summer Camp. The beginning of a school year is the time to get everyone on the same page, and get everyone “normalized” within a quick time frame.

“Normalization” in Montessori terms is used to describe the process in which children in the classroom find inner discipline and peace, and the children are able to concentrate and focus on working freely throughout the classroom. To assist with the process of normalization, a friend recommended the use of doTERRA Essential Oils in my classroom. Leticia Baxter is an Elite Wellness Advocate for doTERRA Essential Oils, and she educated me on the positive effects of using the oils in my classroom. The most important thing I learned about using essential oils is to do my research. Not all oils are created equal, and doTERRA oils have proven to be superior to other brands currently on the market. To learn more about doTERRA Essential Oils click here.

I invited Leticia to share some of the benefits of using doTERRA essential oils in your classroom (or home). doTERRA Essential Oils offer a variety of oils for a variety of health benefits, however, Leticia discussed only a few; the ones that are beneficial for focus, concentration, and calming. Without further ado-here are the benefits of using doTERRA essential oils.

 

Why use doTERRA Essential Oils?

How can they be a benefit to the home and classroom environment?

I am going to touch on a few oils and the amazing benefits of using them in your child’s environment.

 

It is so important when choosing an essential oil brand! Many companies claim their oils to be therapeutic grade and some may be pure. In reality, very few of them are subjected to rigorous testing and standards for chemical composition. doTERRA essential oils are cross tested to ensure both the exact purity and composition potency of each batch. doTERRA works side by side with a global network of leading essential oil chemist and growers to ensure that our oils are the safest, purest, most potent and beneficial oils available in the world today. Please make sure the oils you are using are to the highest standards of quality. You can really tell a difference not only in smell but when using.

 

Essential oils for diffusing in the environment for focus and concentration

 

Lavender

The Oil of Communication
Lavender is known for its calming and relaxing qualities. It helps reduce anxious feelings and helps ease feelings of tension. When you think of lavender… think all things calming. Lavender has many uses and helps with some of the following: restful night’s sleep, anxious feelings, emotional balance and sooths occasional skin irritations. These are just to name a few. Lavender can be used aromatically, topically and internally. Be aware that this does not go for all brands of essential oils. As long as there is a supplemental fact label on the bottle, you can use topically and internally. This is very important when using essential oils and why quality really does matter.
Diffusing Lavender in the classroom can help in calming the room and aid in better focus and concentration.

How to use essential oils

So now that you know about the benefits of using essential oils, I will share with you about how I actually used them in my classroom. My oil station was on a shelf in my classroom. My set-up was quite simple and using the diffuser was easy too! I use a small sized diffuser and added the oils to it. The easy to follow steps are listed below.

 

1. Fill the diffuser to the red dot with water.

I used bottled water in my diffuser, never tap water. I just feel it worked best to get the best use out of the oils.

 

2. Add two to three drops of each oil (for a stronger, more noticeable smell,add more drops). I personally stuck with the three drops.

This is where you can personalize the oil blends. You can use one, two, three, or all four oils! Depending on what your aim and goal is, you can pick different oils for each situation.

 

 

The children in my classroom absolutely LOVED the oils! They would walk around commenting on how good it smells. It truly did work, I used them towards the end of the school year too when the children would start to get a little “unfocused”. They worked amazing! I noticed the differences in their ability to focus and concentrate, as well as the calming effect on the classroom overall.

I was so happy that I found such pure, safe, and beneficial products that I used in my classroom! What more could you want for your child or the children in your classroom?
