Growing up in Generation Z is no small feat. The stress and pressure these kids have on their shoulders is mind-blowing.
From social media pressures to mental health issues to academic stress.
Some navigate this journey effortlessly, while others genuinely struggle, but no matter the journey, it's tough!

With a 17-year-old at home, I know this journey all too well.
The constant emotional rollercoaster is at high speed and never seems to stop.
Helping my daughter navigate her emotions and stresses is a full-time job, and I feel like I'm riding the coaster right alongside.
It's extremely draining but, in an extraordinary way, rewarding.
Honestly, essential oils have been our saving grace.
The arsenal gets pulled out, especially when the rollercoaster plummets quickly.
The hormonal, emotional, and focus benefits essential oils offer are astounding. Using essential oils provides an opportunity to teach my daughter how to live a natural, organic lifestyle for many years to come.
Our favorite "go-to" teenage essential oils are Bergamot, Lavender, ylang-ylang, Frankincense, Clary Sage, Peppermint, Coriander, Lime, Sandalwood, Rosemary, Tangerine, Grapefruit, Lime, Douglas Fir, Wild Orange, Juniper, Peace, Myrrh, Eucalyptus, and Lemongrass.
When mixed through diffusing #ad or roller ball, #ad, these combinations provide potent benefits that aid her everyday teenage life.
Our daughter uses her essential oils for hormonal and emotional balancing and focus/attention during school and homework.
Hormone Benefits
Our teenagers are rapidly changing, including their bodies; naturally, their minds are influenced by these changes.
Fortunately, these years do not have to be stressful. Essential oils are a great, natural way to balance these changes and help our teens find their true identities in these crazy times.
For hormonal balance, these oils are excellent for blending and diffusing:
doTERRA Peace Essential Oil #ad offers a calming, peaceful aroma and complements affirmations of peace, reassurance, and contentment
doTERRA Balance Essential Oil #ad offers a tranquil aroma, finding harmony to the mind and body and the balance of emotions
Bergamot helps to relieve anxious feelings while providing cleansing and purifying benefits at the same time.
Lavender #ad offers calming and relaxing properties and helps to relieve feelings of tension.
Clary Sage #ad offers relaxing, soothing, and balancing properties.
Focus/Attention Benefits
Focus is directly connected to our emotional state and is also impacted by our mood. Teens today struggle immensely to focus.
With the constant buzzing of technology, teenagers' ability to focus for long periods has dramatically decreased.
Using essential oil blends that offer focusing properties is a great way to help your teen focus throughout their day.
The efficacy of an oil is not determined by how much is applied or diffused, so start with a small amount.
Essential oils are very potent but highly effective. Below is a list of oils that can be diffused or made into roller bottles #ad for your teenager to apply quickly:
Frankincense is the King of Oils with uplifting and immune-supporting benefits
Lime stimulates the senses, and the aroma promotes a balanced yet energized environment
Hawaiian Sandalwood provides calming and grounding properties, and aroma creates a positive environment
Tangerine creates an inspirational atmosphere
Peppermint promotes clear breathing
Rosemary creates an environment conducive to studying
Wild Orange offers uplifting and energizing properties
Grapefruit provides an uplifting environment due to the refreshing and energizing aroma
Juniper Berry offers a calming, grounding experience
Emotional Benefits
Because emotions vary from one teenager to another, how a teen handles negative emotions specifically depends on who they are.
Finding an activity your teenager enjoys will help them quickly overcome negative emotions.
Additionally, using a variety of essential oils in a daily routine offers the opportunity to increase a more uplifting mood and to promote positive feelings. (check out my blog post on essential oils and the winter blues)
Each teenager is unique, so it may take some time to determine what essential oils and blends are effective.
This comprehensive list of essential oils #ad offers options to experiment with your teen:
Myrrh creates an inspiring atmosphere
Eucalyptus promotes a feeling of relaxation
Lime provides a sense of balance and energy
Bergamot reduces stress and offers uplifting and calming properties while reducing anxious and sad feeling
Lemongrass promotes a positive outlook
Grapefruit creates an uplifting environment
Douglas Fir creates a positive and inspiring surrounding
