Back to School Wellness for Kids: Natural Remedies Every Parent Should Know

Parents, what's your secret for keeping kids healthy during school season? Could natural remedies really help your child thrive this school year? What if I told you there's a natural, safe, and oh-so-simple way to help your children thrive, mind, body, and spirit during this busy school season?

Well, stay tuned because today we're talking about my number one favorite back-to-school wellness tool. Welcome to the Sparkling Life Coach Podcast.

Hey there, Sparkling One. You're listening to the Sparkling Life Coach Podcast, where we talk all things wellness, joy, and living life with that extra sparkle. I'm your host, Dee Diaz, an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, and today we're kicking off part one of our Back-to-School Essentials series. Now, if you are a parent,

a caregiver, or even a big kid like me, you know, the back-to-school season can feel like a rollercoaster. It's exciting, exhausting, and let's be honest, even a little overwhelming. So today, we're talking about my favorite back-to-school wellness tool. And no, it's not a backpack or a new lunchbox. It's Kids Collection from dōTERRA, so stick with me because I'm going to share not just what's in this precious little toolbox, but exactly how and when to use it to keep your kids,

and yes, YOU, feeling focused, calm, and supported all year long.

But before we get into the blends, let's answer the big question I hear all the time. Why dōTERRA? Well, here's the thing. There are a ton of essential oils out there. Some are super cheap, but here's the scary truth. Purity varies a lot. Many oils on store shelves have fillers, pesticides, and other synthetic fragrances.

dōTERRA's essential oils are Certified Pure Tested Grade essential oils, which means that every single drop is tested by a third party to make sure it's completely free from contaminants. There are no dyes, no pesticides, and no mystery ingredients. Just pure plant power grown where those plants naturally thrive.

And you can feel the difference. Think about it like food. A tomato from your garden tastes wildly different from one shipped across the country and sprayed to survive the trip. Purity matters, especially when you're using essential oils for the holistic health and wellness of your family.

So how do we use them? Well, there are three main ways to use essential oils. The first way is Topically. You can apply them directly to the skin where needed. When used this way, they can reach the bloodstream in just 20 seconds and circulate throughout the body in about 20 minutes.

The second main way to use essential oils is Aromatically. You can inhale them directly from your hands or use a diffuser to get the benefits through your respiratory system. And the third main way to use essential oils is Internally, and I must stress, I only trust dōTERRA essential oils for internal use because of their purity standards.

Now, a quick safety tip: essential oils are potent. Because children have sensitive skin, always dilute with a carrier oil. I love using fractionated coconut oil, but you can also use jojoba, almond, or even the organic olive oil from your kitchen. And another safety tip, if an essential oil ever gets in their eyes, don't reach for water because oil and water don't mix, right?

Instead, use milk or cream to flush it out.

All right, let's open up the Kids Collection. This set is like a complete wellness first aid kit for little ones, and it's all pre-diluted, so it's safe and ready to roll. Let me tell you what's inside and how to use them. First, let's talk about the Thinker Focus blend.

The ingredients include the essential oils of Vetiver, Peppermint, Clementine, and Rosemary in a base of fractionated coconut oil. And what a great name for this blend, 'cause it's going to instill a sense of alertness, focus, and creativity. It's gonna help prevent mental distraction, and it's gonna reduce feelings of mental stress.

We all get it, right? After a long day at school, the last thing our kids wanna do is sit down and do homework. They may need help focusing. So, this is perfect for homework time, study sessions, and SAT prep. Just roll it on the back of the neck to help your child stay alert and avoid distractions. It can also be applied to the insides of their wrists.

The next blend is the Calmer Restful blend. This one contains the ingredients of Lavender, Cananga, Buddha Wood, and Roman Chamomile essential oils in a base of fractionated coconut oil. If your child is still struggling to sleep even after 10 bedtime stories, this is gonna be your bedtime lifesaver. It's perfect to use before bed to calm the mind for a restful sleep.

It's gonna provide soothing and relaxing feelings throughout the body,

and it helps promote a positive stress-free mood. Just roll it along the spine, or they can apply it to their feet and wrists before bed, to soothe their restless minds. The next one is the Stronger Protective blend. The ingredients include Litsea, Rose, Cedarwood, and Frankincense essential oils in a base of fractionated coconut oil.

This blend is an excellent option for a little one who is not feeling their best and needs immune support, or who needs some comfort for minor skin irritations. It boosts their wellness and vitality. It's perfect for daily resiliency when they're not feeling their best, and it's comforting for occasional skin irritations.

Just roll it on their neck or feet, especially if they have a classmate who's under the weather. It's also comforting to apply this blend to your kiddo's hands, knees, and feet. 

The next blend is the Rescuer Soothing blend. This one contains the ingredients of Copaiba, Spearmint, Lavender, and Zanthoxylum, also known as Japanese Prickly Ash. This one's also in a base of fractionated coconut oil. This is a great one for post-sport aches or growing pains. It helps reduce tension,

it's comforting and soothing to the muscles, and it improves vitality and comfort. It's perfect for massaging your little one's shoulders, neck, back, and legs after active play, and to reduce feelings of tension, especially around bedtime.

The next blend is the Steady Grounding blend. This one contains the essential oils of Amyris, Balsam Fir, Coriander, and Magnolia in a base of fractionated coconut oil. This blend is gonna help them with nervousness or big emotions.

It evokes a calm and balanced mood. It promotes feelings of relaxation. It helps them focus their mind on what is most important. Just roll it on their wrist and neck during stressful transitions.

And then there's the Brave Courage blend. This one contains Wild Orange, Amyris, Osmanthus, and Cinnamon essential oils in a base of fractionated coconut oil. This blend is energizing and invigorating to the senses. It supports a positive mood by helping to manage feelings of stress and anxiousness. It promotes feelings of confidence, courage, and belief in oneself.

Think of this one as confidence in a bottle. It's perfect to use before a presentation, every day before school, and especially on the first day of school, or when trying something new. And this is also a great one to use before visiting the doctor's office. Just have them apply it wherever they feel the tension.

Perhaps it's their chest, on their belly, their neck, or on their shoulders. And the last blend in this wonderful toolkit is the Tamer Digestive blend. It contains Spearmint, Japanese, Peppermint, Ginger, Black Pepper, and Parsley Seed essential oils in a base of fractionated coconut oil. This blend has a calming aroma to ease the effects of motion sickness and stomach upset when it's inhaled or applied topically.

So just roll it on their tummy or the bottoms of their feet for stomach discomfort after eating a large meal or before car rides. What a great collection, right? It's the perfect number one essential for back-to-school. I love that all the roll-ons are pre-diluted. This makes them very gentle for our children's delicate skin without skimping on the powerful benefits.

I also love that it comes complete with a carrying case and useful kid-centric instructional flashcards, because this is gonna help your kiddos enjoy taking care of themselves. It's a complete, ready-made, whole body, essential oil toolbox designed to empower parents and caregivers to confidently care for the health and wellness of their little ones by supporting their growing minds, bodies, and hearts.

But this Collection isn't just about keeping kids healthy. It's about empowering them, teaching them ownership of their wellness. Imagine your child recognizing when they're feeling anxious, tired, or queasy and confidently choosing a natural solution. That's a life skill they'll carry with them forever.

What better gift can we give our children?

Empowered parents together with the Kids Collection can ensure the next generation is gonna be protected, nurtured, and empowered to live a healthy, balanced, sparkling lifestyle.
