Parents rejoice for Back to School every year. We love seeing our little ones set off for another set of milestones, and another learning adventure. Set your kids up for a great year with these recipes for Back to School Success with Essential Oils.
Your kids will love these 3 new personalized roller blends to stay calm and focused all year long!
Back to School with Essential Oils
I like to get everything all laid out the night before (clothes, supplies, etc.) and send them off to bed with a relaxing bath. This helps them wind down and prepare their minds and bodies to hit the pillow.
Sleep is essential for a mind ready to learn. Check out our top sleep tips here and also check out our Good Night Bedtime Spray to help your kids get a good night’s rest.
In the morning, prime your house for success with one of our Get Up & Go Morning Diffuser Recipes.
Plan ahead and pack a diffuser necklace as a Welcome Back gift for teachers. New teachers and veteran teachers will love this thoughtful touch. I’d throw in a sample of Lavender essential oil!
Your kids need to look presentable even after the preciousness of the First Day of School photo ops. We keep Hand Cleanser Spray and Homemade Detangler Spray on hand to combat gross hands and gross hair. (We obviously have our fair share of both of these!)
Get them started on the right foot with Ningxia Red Vitamin C Gummies. Yes! I like the tangy, sweetness, too!
Give special attention to your teenagers as they navigate these fascinating high school years. Our All-natural Blemish Gel is gentle to the skin and powerful for helping to heal trouble spots. And a little stress can cause troubled skin to go into overdrive. In a pinch, you can also throw together a batch of Blemish Spot Treatment.
And, don’t forget to make your kiddos some fun after school snacks or lunchbox treats like our Key Lime Cupcakes, Lavender Lemonade, or Peppermint Brownie Bites!
Now, let’s talk about helping your kids stay calm and focused while at school…
Your kids will love these three new personalized roller blends below. They can either just sniff the bottle for a burst of inspiring and motivational scent or they can roll them on their wrist to carry it with them through the day.
These blends are intended for children over 6 years old. Always label the blends so you know exactly what’s in them. (We love these waterproof oval rollerball labels!)

Carrie says
Curious about the rosemary and lemon Roll-on for homework. What properties from Rosemary made you choose it? Thank you.
Beth K says
Carrie,
Thanks for your interest in our recipes. You can read more here about the research done with Rosemary and memory. It’s quite exciting!
Ann says
Great article with awesome blends
Beth K says
Thanks for your support! 🙂
Melissa Klose says
Thanks for posting these recipes! Do you think it would hurt to add more drops of each oil and top with the CO? And, where do you recommend applying each roller?
Jenn says
Melissa – sure, you could definitely add more as needed. I would use them on wrists and back of the neck. 🙂
Nor says
Hi, i love your sharing in this blog. Can i know where toapply all those blends above? Thanks for sharing and nice blend.
Beth K says
You can apply them to wrists or over the heart. You could even use these blends on the soles of your children’s feet if they prefer.
Shirley says
Are there non-nut oil substitutes? It seems that all have a base of coconut oil, and my daughter is highly allergic to peanuts and ALL TREE nuts.
Jenn says
Shirley – you are can definitely substitute any carrier oil that works for you and your daughter in all of our recipes!
Cathy says
Just curious if she is allergic to coconut oil as well? My daughter is allergic to tree nuts but does not have a problem with coconut oil. We use it as a base for all of her stuff. Just curious 🙂
Susan says
In the A+ test day are you using holy basil
Beth K says
We use essential oil of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum).
Karen says
Does it help adults to focus also
Beth K says
Yes, it helps me tremendously.
Cara says
Excellent post! I am an oil newbie and can’t wait to try these blends! Thank you.
Val says
Is orange calming? I always think of it as energizing?
Beth K says
The sweet orange (Citrus aurantium dulcis) is delightfully sweet and calming.
Tiara says
Hi! I love this post. Thanks for sharing your recipes. I’m going to try the calming and the homework blends for my kids. What is the A+ Test Day blend for, btw?
Recipes With Essential Oils says
Hello Tiara! Any of these blends can be used throughout the day on your kiddos. The A+ Test Day blend contains peppermint, which can be both invigorating and energizing. It helps me with mental focus or if I need a quick pick-me-up. Perfect for test day!
Indsay says
I was curious if I use these in a diffuser at home or in class, how many drops of oil to use for the mixtures? My diffuser requires approx 8 oz of water for the max-fill. Thank you so much.
Diana M says
I typically put about 5-8 drops in my diffuser at a time. It is really a personal preference. Check out our diffuser guide here.
