Essential Oils for the Classroom

​Do you diffuse in your classroom? Have you ever considered it as a way to help promote a healthy and positive classroom environment?
Essential oils can clear unpleasant odors, calm students, assist with behavior management, plus boost mood and focus.  While the desired effects of certain oils may not always be the same for everyone (I cannot make any promises that this will solve all of your classroom problems), it will still keep your classroom smelling lovely and  improve the general mood.

I used a cool mist Diffuser (highly recommend) when testing a variety of DoTerra oils and recipes. It is best to start off with a few oil drops to the water, and then increase as desired.  Listed below are some of my top picks for diffusing in the classroom.

CALM & HAPPY CLASSROOM
This is my favorite mix for home and work.

ENERGIZING CLASSROOM
Wild Orange, Lemon, Lime, and Grapefruit

GET WELL CLASSROOM
This mix is fantastic for congestion, coughing, and germs. I've experienced positive results with this mix when seasonal threats are high minus the nasty chemicals found in some other spray mixes.
Easy Air + On Guard 

---

FOCUSED CLASSROOM
Peppermint + Frankincense

---

MOTIVATED CLASSROOM
Motivation Blend (DoTerra)
Use for when a bit of encouragement is needed to get through lots of work. After staring at my to-do list, I plan to use it this afternoon.

---

FRESH CLASSROOM
Help remove undesirable odors with Lemon

---

BALANCED CLASSROOM
Balance (DoTerra Blend) + Lime
A recipe to assist with and hopefully improve behavior issues in the classroom. Regular behavior management techniques still need to be used in conjunction. I've found this mix helps me stay balanced when I feel like I might 'lose it.'
