As a certified aromatherapist and former doula, I’ve spent years helping moms navigate pregnancy, delivery, and parenting using natural solutions. Essential oils are an incredible tool for supporting your kids’ health and wellness—and Young Living’s lineup makes it easy, safe, and effective. Let’s explore some of my favorite remedies for promoting calm, boosting immunity, and encouraging focus in little ones.
Promote Calm and Better Sleep
Bedtime struggles? Meet your new best friends: Valor, Stress Away, and Peace & Calming. These blends are gentle yet effective at reducing anxiety and creating a peaceful environment.
- How to Use: Diffuse Peace & Calming as your child’s nightlight (it’s functional and soothing!). Apply Valor or Stress Away to their wrists or the bottoms of their feet for added calm before bedtime.
Boost Immunity with Thieves and NingXia Red
Keeping kids healthy doesn’t have to be hard. A daily dose of NingXia Red supports overall wellness with antioxidants and essential nutrients. Plus, applying Thieves to the bottoms of their feet or diffusing it can help fend off colds and coughs.
- Tip: Make it a fun routine! Let them pick their favorite socks after you apply Thieves to their feet.
Tackle Coughs and Colds Naturally
For those inevitable sniffles, R.C. essential oil is a must. It’s fantastic for supporting respiratory health.
- How to Use: Add a drop to their chest with a carrier oil or diffuse it during the day to ease coughs and congestion.
Support Digestion and Overall Health
Young Living’s KidScents line is pre-diluted and perfect for little ones. MightyVites and MightyZyme are excellent for promoting a strong immune system and better digestion. These kid-friendly supplements are packed with vitamins and enzymes designed for growing bodies.
Encourage Focus with GeneYus
Got a kiddo who can’t sit still or struggles with focus? Enter GeneYus essential oil blend. This magical mix helps promote concentration and clarity.
- How to Use: Apply it to the back of their neck before school or homework time, or diffuse it in their study area for a focused atmosphere.
The Power of a Diffuser
Diffusing essential oils not only fills your home with comforting aromas but also provides therapeutic benefits. Choose blends like Peace & Calming at bedtime or GeneYus during the day. Bonus: Many diffusers double as nightlights, creating a cozy and safe environment for your child to drift off to sleep.
