Going back to school can be mentally and emotionally challenging for kids and parents alike. Essential oils can help make the transition easier! Diffuse essential oils on school days to boost energy, increase focus, and calm an anxious mind. Here are 8 Back to School Diffuser Recipes for a successful year!


back to school essential oil diffuser blends

I have a love-hate relationship with Back to School. On one hand, it’s nice to get back to a regular routine and structure. Summer can get monotonous. A new school year brings new experiences and new friends. It’s also exciting (for kids at least) to shop for new clothes and school supplies. 

As summer comes to an end it’s back to early mornings, busy afternoons, and hectic evenings. Once school starts, we tend to spend less time together as a family. It’s also a sad reminder that we are one year closer to our babies leaving the nest. I get all the feels on the first day of school! 

Essential oils can make going back to school easier! Here are the Best Essential Oils for School: 

  • Peppermint ~ energy 
  • Rosemary ~ mental focus
  • Lavender ~ relaxation 
  • Orange ~ memory aid
  • Basil ~ concentration 
  • Stress Away ~ emotional balance
  • Lemon ~ cheering
  • Thieves ~ immune support
  • Bergamot ~ motivating 
  • Ylang Ylang ~ eases anxiety
  • Cedarwood ~ clarity
  • Grapefruit ~ mood-lifting

Diffusing is a wonderful way to experience the benefits of essential oils throughout the day. Get the diffuser going before the kids wake up for an added boost of energy in the morning. 

If you are doing school at home, keep the diffuser going with a focus blend to keep everyone on task. Once school is done and the kids are home, mix up a diffuser blend to help them wind down and get homework done.
