ADHD/ ADD is common among kids and tweaking a few things you do can really make a difference. I have found that adding in doTERRA's IQ omegas, and PB assist along with adding in a few key oils can be GAMECHANGER.
In ADHD, there are several essential oils which have been shown to be helpful, including vetiver. In a case study of 6 children with ADHD from 2001, a physician researcher showed that vetiver “improved brain activity and reduces the symptoms”. Cedarwood also demonstrated similar findings, with lavender showing the least amount of effectiveness. However , lavender as well as ylang ylang can provide a calming effect and can help with anxiety as well. Universities like Vanderbuilt have integrated the use of essential oils to reduce stress and provide a calmer work environment. Additionally, rosemary, citrus (like lemon or orange) and peppermint oils are can help with memory and concentration. Frankincense, the “king of oils” has anti-inflammatory properties and can heighten cognitive function and clarity, while supporting emotional wellness.
Quality Does Matter
When you select an essential oil brand, the quality does matter. Natural and “pure” oils are the most common type found in the market, but they are still overly processed, so they lose their healing properties. Certified therapeutic grade (CTG) oils are medicinal-grade and are the highest grade of essential oils with greatest healing properties. It's also important to select a manufacturer who adheres to strict third-party testing to ensure that the oils contain the correct chemical components, thats why I chose doTERRA almost 10 years ago.
Three Great Ways to Incorporate Them into Everyday Life:
Inhaling the oils or using them topically on the skin represents two great ways to start incorporating them into your everyday life. The nasal passages can easily absorb the properties of the oils, so adding 3-4 drops of an essential oil to a diffuser can enhance the therapeutic effects.
Additionally, essential oils are well absorbed through the skin and can be used topically. Essential oils are safe for kids and adults when you are using doTERRA.
Last way to use oils is Internally. There is only one brand to use internally that comes with a supplement label on them, and have for internal use on bottle...that is doTERRA.
