The school season can bring overwhelm and anxiety to any of us, including our kids. Today I’m going to show you how to make an easy DIY “Bye-Bye Overwhelm” relaxing essential oil blend for kids that is great for relaxing and calming during stressful situations, like the back to school season. There’s both a roller bottle and an essential oil spray recipe for two easy-to-use methods.
You can also use this relaxing essential oil blend for yourself, after all, getting everyone back into the school routine with early mornings, after-school activities, homework, and so many more things on our plates.

Which Essential Oil Brand is Best?
For the best results, you will want to choose a high-quality essential oil brand that is 100% pure and offers third-party testing for quality control. Read this post for more info on how to choose essential oils that work for you and your family (beyond the brand.)
My favorite essential oil company is Rocky Mountain Oils, followed by Eden’s Garden, and Ancient Apothecary by Dr. Axe.

I have all of these oils!! This will definitely me, and my 17 month old just started a toddler Montessori program a few mornings a week so rolling it on him before we go can help this transition. Always looking for natural ways to boost our mood 🙂
