Back To School: Family Health and Wellness
The final month of summer is underway and with it comes the anticipated school year, fast approaching. There are a few weeks remaining before the busy bees set off to a new grade and routines fall back into structured place. What a perfect time to reorganize, plan and to consider new ways of implementing health and wellness into your family’s lives. With a Young Living Premium Starter Kit you could kill a whole flock of birds with one stone (not literally of course!), so let me tell you how with some back to school tips!
When it comes to back to school we know it’s a little tricky to readjust. We are all used to staying up a little later, we love to sleep in just a bit longer and maybe we even left a few chores undone. A smooth transition requires a lot of work and maybe even just a little bit of help! Have you considered the many properties of essential oils and how they can help to assist you in more ways than simply smelling amazing? Safer products that are synthetic free offers substitutes for many household items that can actually be causing more harm than good. If you’re busy and on the go a lot during the school year, now is the perfect time to get your Premium Starter Kit and begin planning to the needs of your family members individually. Why not learn how to make a ton of products at home using your essential oils and save money, remove synthetic chemicals from your home and use natural remedies for many common issues such as headaches with essential oils approved by Health Canada as Natural Health Products. Let’s dive in, shall we? Here are just a few of the ways you might be able to use the essential oils that come in Young Living Canada’s Premium Starter Kit.
Aches and Pains
Do you have a little athlete that will start up with a new sport this fall or perhaps extra curricular back to school activities? PanAway essential oil from Young Living is a blend of Helichrysum, Wintergreen, Clove and Peppermint which is a lovely alternative to use topically on sore muscles after a great game of soccer, hockey or even a day in gymnastics! Diluted in a carrier oil, this essential oil would be a great addition to his or her sports bag to use on a sore muscle or even as a preventative measure so your little one doesn’t wake up with sore muscles! PanAway essential oil from Young Living also smells like Root Beer, so that will be sure to make your kiddos happy!
Cough and Cold
With back to school also comes germs, which means cough & cold season and remedies for those little people in your life will be a high priority. Young Living offers 31 different essential oil options to help sooth the symptoms of cough & cold, all Health Canada Approved! Of the 31 Natural Health Products, options like Peppermint, Lemon, Lavender and Tea Tree are part of the 15 essential oils that could make up your Premium Starter Kit. Lavender and Lemongrass are also two essential oils you could use as a natural remedy or back to school DIY to relieve headaches. You could even make little cough & cold or headache inhalers that your child can pack safely in their backpack to use throughout their day, when necessary.

Concentration
Another great suggestion is to have Frankincense diffusing before the kids come home for their snack and to finish homework. This grounding essential oil has wondrous benefits and will be an excellent addition to your daily routines to help with the back to school blues and beyond! Frankincense essential oil is also a great one to diffuse when it’s time for mom to take some time for yourself on your yoga mat or during a calm, meditation practice. Tonia personally uses Frankincense as her daily skin care routine as well, with just frankincense and a carrier oil like Young Living’s V-6 Vegetable oil complex in place of a moisturizer after a shower. What a diverse essential oil!
Stress
Stress affects everyone a little bit differently and even our young ones can face anxiety or feel uptight. Did you know that simply by opening a bottle of essential oil with calmative properties can often be enough to help soothe stress? There are many ways to wear your calmative essential oils throughout the day, including diffuser necklaces, bracelets and of course you could also use an aromatherapy inhaler. Another suggestion would be to make a roller bottle blend of a calmative essential oil like Lavender and a carrier oil that you or your child can easily carry in a pocket or back pack to rub on the inside of the wrists or back of the neck when feeling uptight. Lavender comes in the Young Living Premium Starter Kit and is also Health Canada approved as a Natural Health Product or NHP.
Perhaps you have a teenager who is anxious about heading back to school in a new grade or a new school? Calmative oils might be a welcome part of a home made cologne or perfume roll-on! Some teenagers also struggle with skin issues as they go through puberty and Young Living also has Health Canada Approved Natural Health Products for relief from acne, as well!
Bedtime
Bed time calming oils are a great part of our routine in our home and might be something you’d like to implement for your family as you begin to change night time routines. Lavender is a calmative oil that many families like to use as it is so versatile and gentle. Adding a few drops to a diffuser a few minutes before bed time creates a calm atmosphere
Young Living Premium Starter Kit
The Young Living Premium Starter Kit comes with 10 of Young Living’s top essential oils and as you can see, the many ways they can all support the health and wellness of your family are plentiful! Imagine the ways you can naturally support yourself as well as your kids through the back to school transition, through the fall and winter months enduring cough and cold season and beyond. Each kit comes with a Dewdrop diffuser and a bonus 11th essential oil which comes from Young Living Canada’s own farm in Fort Nelson, BC! Northern Lights Black Spruce is gorgeous and grounding! There are also a few samples of other products Young Living carries that is also incredible for your family’s health and wellness. Try two sample packets of Young Living’s NingXia Red wolf berry puree supplement drink, which is nutrient dense and wonderful for maintaining energy as well as adding some extra nutrients to your kid’s and your busy back to school lifestyle. These are a great addition to your on the go snack packs!
