Why Use Essential Oils for Teens?

Essential oils are a natural and effective way to:

  • Ease Stress and Anxiety: Oils like lavender and chamomile can help your teen unwind after a tough day.

  • Boost Focus and Concentration: Perfect for study sessions, oils like rosemary and peppermint keep distractions at bay.

  • Support Better Sleep: Help your teen catch those Zzzs with calming oils like cedarwood or frankincense.

  • Promote Skin Health: Tea Tree and lavender oils are game-changers for teenage skin woes.

How to Safely Use Essential Oils with Teens

Before diving in, safety first! Always choose high-quality oils like those from #ad Plant Therapy, a brand I trust and personally recommend. You can find their fantastic range on Amazon or their Website.


Key safety tips:

  1. Dilute Properly: Always dilute essential oils with a carrier oil before applying to the skin.

  2. Patch Test: Test oils on a small skin patch to ensure no adverse reaction.

  3. Use Aromatically or Topically: Diffusing is a teen-friendly way to enjoy oils, while roller blends are perfect for on-the-go use.
