Solve Back-to-School Stress with Aromatherapy

Back-to-school and the change of Summer to Fall is a stressful time for children, parents and teachers alike. The new academic year is now in swing and the anxiety over routines, homework and your children’s health among a myriad of other things are stress triggers. This is important to us at the Spa of Essex.

At the Spa of Essex, we can offer you a total body experience that is customized to your needs and will target and relieve your stress. But, we know what you are thinking – I have such a busy schedule, I don’t have time to get in for a spa day. Well, first and foremost, it is important to make time for “me time.” But, we know sometimes you just can’t find an opening in the calendar.

As wellness experts, we can help you get through this phase of transition and even recommend products for home use. Aromatherapy offers custom solutions for a variety of scenarios. Targeted aromatherapy solutions can help you and your family relax and unwind. Try introducing Aromatherapy as part of your daily routine with these ideas.

1. Are you concerned about your child’s health and immunity?

When kids return to school after a long break, they catch all kinds of bugs and bacteria (which can make other people in the family sick as well). For a natural immunity boost, we suggest using a washcloth with a few drops of Immune Support Essential Oil Blend while taking a hot shower. This Essential Oil Blend is also very effective in empowering the body’s natural defenses and keeping infections at bay.

 2. Are you and your family stressed over the impending change in schedule and daily routine?

After relaxed and idyllic vacation months, it can be quite a pain to wake up early and pack the kids off to school. However, hectic morning schedules can be a lot less intimidating when you are feeling fresh and alert. Invigorating oils like Spearmint, Peppermint, Rosemary and Cardamom help enliven the senses and improve concentration so that your clients feel alive and energetic all day through. These oils have been combined in Aromandina’s Memoria Essential Oil Blend, and can be safely used by children too.

3. Are you worried your children do not get proper sleep?

Change in routine can lead to irregularities in sleeping patterns, both for kids and parents. This may manifest as irritability and chronic fatigue.

Help your family sleep well by using Sleep Time Essential Oil Blend, with calming oils such as Palo Santo, Lavender and Mandarin. These may be used in massage as well as in bathwater.

4. Does any kind of change make you and your child anxious or nervous?

Back-to-school is time for change – a period of transition. It naturally brings on feelings of anxiety or nervousness. The uplifting scents in Citrus Delight Essential Oil Blend can help dispel feelings of depression, fear and helplessness.

5. Is lack of energy keeping you from coping with a busy lifestyle?

Getting children ready for school, feeding them breakfast, dropping them, picking them up, homework…phew! A regular weekday can really suck your energy, especially when you and your family have been spoiled over the vacation. If are experiencing lethargy and fatigue, perk up with Memoria Essential Oil Blend. These oils support the nervous system and enhance the senses, so that you feel alert and sprightly all day long.

6. Experiencing body pains and headaches?

All that hard work and running around can lead to sore muscles and tired limbs at the end of the day. Turn to the natural pain-relieving options such as the Pain Begone Body Oil, which contains Lavender, Birch, Lavandin and Peppermint, which are known to relax the muscles, reduce inflammation and improve blood circulation. You can also use this blend to relax your children’s tired little bodies after a long day at school.
