A new ADHD blend

So my son has ADHD and although he is on medication I am trying to find a blend of oils that can do what his meds to with out the side effects. 

 These two:
Lime and Vetiver combined with some fractionated coconut oil in a roller bottle is working a little. 

An even amount of drops of each oil in a small roll on bottle are mixed together and applied to the back of the neck.  It is a bit of a strong smell and some find it unpleasant so I add a drop of lavender to the back of the neck as well. 

The question you are asking is....is it working?
Well yes and no.  It is helping a little but he still needs his meds.  But you never know everyone is different so this combo may work for you or your child so give it a shot.

Children and sleep.

 So your child has problems sleeping some nights right?  Well here is some Essential Oils that may help. 

Most nights for my son who has ADHD diffusing just lavender is more than enough but then there are nights that he is just so wound up that sleep seems impossible.  Or other nights where he just seems anxious....so what is a Mother to do?

 Well the Balance blend is a grounding blend and on it's own can help him relax and sleep but even that's not always enough.

So diffuse Balance and Lavender together.  Combined they have Spruce, Rosewood, Frankincense, Blue Tansy, and Lavender.  A great blend for sleep when he is hyperactive. 

But then there are the days that he is not only hyper but needs to just calm down and relax.  On the days that it truly seems impossible that he will sleep I diffuse Serenity and Lavender together.

Now Serenity has Lavender in it as well as Marjoram, Roman Chamomile, Ylang Ylang, sandalwood, and Vanilla Bean, but adding extra Lavender seems to help even more. 

So here are 3 different solutions to rough nights sleeps....actually make that 5 as you can use Serenity and Balance alone or with the Lavender.    Does it work for adults you say?  Of course it does! 

Have you used other oils for sleep?  Please let us know.

ADHD takes a backseat.....

InTune - Oh yea this baby here has helped my son with his ADHD a lot.  He is still on medication but this seems to counteract some of the side effects of that medication.  He is more attentive, social, and happier with this blend on and seems to eat just a little bit more. 

It has a bit of a woodsy smell that takes a little getting used to but all in all I like it. It is a blend of Amyris, Frankincense, Lime, Patchouli, Roman Chamomile, Sandalwood (HI), Ylang Ylang.

We roll it on the back of his neck each morning and he is good for the day.  Some days we reapply in the evenings when he gets home from school but not all the time.  Because of the strong smell I am going to try adding some lavender to his neck to see if that helps as it is another oil that can be used for ADHD......

So if you have focusing problems add this to your wish list and give it a shot....you may just be surprised how well it does seem to work.
