MIND BODY Childhood is about learning as much as it is about physical development. In those early formative years, children are developing the lifestyle habits that will greatly determine their health and well-being throughout the rest of their lives. Whether it be maintaining focus while studying for school or having a difficult time winding down to sleep each night, children today face daily challenges that essential oils can assist with. The Thinker Focus Blend and Calmer Restful Blend were developed specifically for daily use to address these issues. The best thing about essential oils is that they allow us to take ownership of our day-to-day well-being. Children face their own spectrum of daily issues. To evoke feelings of wellness and vitality or to address those issues that just come up, dōTERRA has developed a pair of proprietary blends that are safe for everyone. RESCUER™ SOOTHING BLEND CALMER™ RESTFUL BLEND Sleep is the most undervalued component of overall health. It has a direct association to every principle in the dōTERRA Wellness Lifestyle Pyramid, and healthy sleep behaviors are never more important than in childhood. Promoting improved sleep hygiene is one of the most traditional ways to use essential oils, and there is strong evidence regarding their efficacy in calming and relaxing. With its combination of Cananga, Lavender, Buddha Wood, and Roman Chamomile essential oils, the dōTERRA Calmer Restful Blend unites some of the most well-known and researched soothing essential oils in a base of Fractionated Coconut Oil to empower your children to take control of their sleeping habits. Apply to the bottoms of the feet of your restless child at bedtime or to the back of the wrists to help your child unwind before going to sleep. THINKER™ FOCUS BLEND Limonene is an energizing and uplifting (not so) secret weapon of the chemistry world. The monoterpene, primarily known for its inclusion in citrus oils, has a long list of benefits, only one of which is being able to provide an emotional boost whenever you need it. The association between our olfactory system and how we feel is fascinating, and dōTERRA Thinker Focus Blend takes advantage of the known benefits of limonene (the blend’s primary constituent) and our progressing understanding of this complex interaction to promote an environment conducive to learning. The combination of Vetiver, Clementine, Peppermint, and Rosemary in a base of Fractionated Coconut Oil provides the uplifting and energizing aroma your child needs to focus. Pack the Thinker Focus Blend in your child’s backpack to be applied to the temples, back of the neck, or wrists throughout the day to help them stay on task. 22 / FALL 2018 LIVING MAGAZINE HEART You never know when your child may need a shot of reassurance or emotional support.
