Our Top 5 Essential Oils

Starting the first day at school is an important event for children and a positive experience can set the tone for the rest of their school experience. Here at Urban Medicine Woman (UMW), we’ve put together a list of five kid friendly essential oils with great tips that can help you find a little more peace of mind and improve your daily routine.

• Start the day with – BERGAMOT

Trying to get the kids ready for school in the morning is a challenging task, especially of that very first day of back-to-school day! The best way to start the day is by simply diffusing Bergamot in your house / bedrooms few hours before leaving for school… Bergamot produces a calming and uplifting aroma making it ideal for this busy time like this one.

• Soothe anxious thoughts with – SWEET ORANGE

Some children are excited to attend school for the first time, yet others feel anxious. Using orange essential oil will keep your child calm and happy. Orange, like all citrus oils can help to stimulate a happy mood and more optimism. Apply few drops onto your kid’s wrist and have them inhale the sweet scent of orange to give them that extra mood boost.

• Stay focus all day with – ROSEMARY

The school year is a marathon. Kids are spending long hours daily listening, learning, and trying to stay focus. Sometimes kids have trouble staying on task while at school but also when back home after a long day. To stay on track, the use of Rosemary essential oil is an excellent choice with its powerful clarifying properties. For kids, dilute few drops of Rosemary with (distilled) water and Witch Hazel in a spray bottle and use it as a mist. Spray onto hair, clothes…

• Stay healthy all day with – IMMUNITY MIST

Supporting a healthy immune system and staying away from germs is top-of-mind for many parents as their kids head back to the classroom. Our Immunity Mist is formulated with pure essential oils known for their powerful antiviral and antioxidant properties as well as Witch hazel to nourish and protect the skin. Simply spray directly into hands to provide a natural shield against environmental threats and to help boost the immune system.

• Sleep deeper with – LAVENDER

After a long day at school, nothing is more important for your kiddos than to have a restful night. To promote a relaxing sleep, nothing beats Lavender. Lavender essential oil has a fresh floral sweet scent, and it is by far the most use for its aromatherapy and healing benefits. Put a few drops in a diffuser and turn it on half hour before your child get into bed so that the bedroom has already set the stage for sleep. Other essential oils such as the earthy and relaxing scents of Vetiver or the sweet and calming aromas of Chamomile are great options too.
