Back To School Essentials

 Back To School Basics with Essential Oils

2024 has flown by! We're quickly headed into fall, and kids are back in school. Here's some of our top suggestions for back to school issues that may come up for your kids. I'll post below Q&A we commonly get for kids going back to school.

Q. Are their essential oils that help a child when they feel nervous or anxious at school?

A. Yes! Essential oils really shine by helping to alleviate negative emotions and stress. They work really well, especially with kids and young adults. It is sad that so many kids suffer from feeling nervous or anxious at school. Here are some really good tools you can give them to help them cope.

Peace of Mind 

Peace of Mind is our most powerful blend of essential oils formulated to calm the deepest stress, anxiousness, anxiety, and depression. It has a unique blend of essential oils that help you feel light, and happy. This blend raises the frequency of every cell of the body and helps you to feel “lighter”. Works for all ages.

Blossom

If stress is the issue, and you’re just a thinker and a worrier our Blossom blend is for you. Blended from powerful essential oils that were used anciently for stress, this blend not only smells fantastic, but it melts away stress and worry.

Lift

This essential oil blend is similar to Peace of Mind blend, using much of the same essential oils, but it’s formulated to be a little lighter version. It is light and smells great, yet powerful for stress, anxiety, and depression type issues.

Organic Red Mandarin Essential Oil

Red Mandarin essential oil is a powerful emotional stabilizer. Our organic Red Mandarin essential oil also smells amazing and is good for inner child healing for all ages.

Organic Spearmint Essential Oil

Purify’s organic Spearmint essential oil is mouth watering goodness, and can also be used for powerful emotional release. Inhalation is the best application, and best not used 1 hour before bedtime.

Application of these essential oils for emotional relief:

When using essential oils for emotional relief the best application is inhalation.

Inhalation is super simple. Drop 1 or 2 drops of the blend onto a cotton ball. Breathe deeply from this fragrant cotton ball for 5 to 20 minutes. You can put this cotton ball in your pocket, and pull it out for inhalation anytime you feel it is needed, and it’s easy access. This application method works great for kids at school, because they don’t smell strongly of the essential oil and they don’t have any bottle or anything that could spill.

You can also apply these essential oil blends to the wrists and breathe the scent off of your wrists. The only downside of doing this is: our essential oils are so strong and so pure that they quickly absorb into the skin, and then you will start losing the smell of some of them. So for this application you will need to renew the application often.

You can also use these essential oils in a diffuser and inhale them from a diffuser. It’s recommended to breathe then in for anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes.

Q. My child seems to pick up on every bug at school, is there an oil that will help with not getting sick this year?

A. Yes! Essential oils are powerful for boosting our immune systems and helping our bodies to fight off invading pathogens. Purify Skin Therapy has specific blends that are suited and safe just for your kids and your babies. We were the first to develop kids safe and baby safe blends in the industry.

Kids Immune

We have a blend called Kid’s Immune that is safe for daily use for kids from age 2 to 11. It has all the best essential oils to support and powerfully boost their immune systems. If they are older than 11 the Immune blend (the adult version) may be better. But even adults can use the Kids Immune blend with great results. Kids under age 2 (from birth to age 2) should use the Baby Immune version which is safer for their little underdeveloped bodies.

The best application for boosting the immune system is to apply 2 to 5 drops of the essential oil blend to the soles of the feet before they go to school. Allow the oils to soak into the soles of their feet for 10 minutes and then put on their socks and shoes. This supports them through the entire day. When you buy any of the Immune blends from Purify Skin Therapy, we send a sheet of instructions and more details on how to use the blend for best results.

Sore Throats

Another suggestion is to help them recognize the first signs of when a pathogen is attacking the body. Generally it will start with a scratch or itch in the back of the throat. The faster one recognizes the beginning of an infection, the better and faster you can wipe it out completely. We have a powerful blend called Kid’s Throat Care which is to be used at the first sign of a sore throat, and wow! This blend works fast to knock out sore throats in the beginning stages of illness. 

Q. My child has a hard time sitting still and focusing, is there an essential oil that helps?

A. Yes! Some essential oils are powerful to help the mind calm and focus, and release energetic emotions. Some essential oils are powerful when used for this intention. 

Focus & Memory

Essential oils can absolutely be used when a child is having a hard time focusing. We have a blend of essential oils that helps calm, relax and aid with focus and concentration that is called Focus & Memory Blend. It has all the essential oils that stimulate memory recall and stimulate the brain to work better. It’s amazing for those days when they have a quiz or test or need to be extra sharp. This blend is also great for all ages and works for adults and the elderly too.

The application is inhalation by simply placing two to three drops of the blend on a cotton ball and breathing for 5 to 20 minutes. Anytime there is a need to focus or remember just breathe the essential oils. They have a physical and energetic effect on the brain and can be very powerful to aid in this area.

Q. My child gets headaches. Is there anything that can help them?

A. Yes! Our Organic Headache Relief Serum is the perfect pain relieving essential oil blend (all natural & certified organic) for headaches, and works for all ages.

• Carefully formulated for you by a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist

Are You Plagued with Headaches?

Got Headaches?

Have you ever experienced that dull ache or even worse that mind blowing throbbing that won't stop? The pain is real and you can't wait for it to go away. We want you to be aware of some different natural and holistic ways you can tackle these painful and even debilitating headaches, and migraines too!

Here are a few natural yet effective things you can do to tremendously help your headaches.

DEHYDRATION
Many are unaware that headaches are a sign of dehydration.

Drink good clean water. Make sure you are drinking 80 to 120 oz. of good clean water every day. This doesn't mean tap water. Tap water is full of chemicals you don't want in your body.

Add a pinch of good clean natural sea salt (not too much), and add a pinch of artesian baking soda to the first 16 oz. glass of water of your day. These will help your body actually hydrate and through osmosis bring the water into the body's tissues.


One of the best tools to use to fight the pain of headaches:

OR Try this one:

Take a bowl with ice, so it's ice cold water. Drop in 2 drops of our Organic Lavender Essential Oil, and 2 drops of our Organic Peppermint Essential Oil.


Whisk the essential oils well into the ice water. Then take two clean face wash rags and dip it them into the ice water mix. Wring out the wash rag well and apply one to the forehead and one to the back of the neck. I used to love to even put the washrag over my entire face with my eyes closed, be careful not to get essential oils in your eyes. Dip it often back into the ice water mix to keep it ice cold, making sure to whisk well the oils into the water before dipping the wash rag into the ice water each time. I did this one once for my neighbor and she LOVED it. So great for headaches. Make sure your essential oils are USDA certified organic for best results.

How To Have More Energy

In today’s fast paced world many of us just go, go, go. To keep us going as much as possible and as quickly as possible many have used substances to stimulate ourselves for more energy. Yes, I’m talking about sugar and caffeine as well as other stimulants that will get you going quickly but then leave you a with an energy crash and feeling like a wreck until you get your next intake. Where we get energy can greatly affect our lives and the way we live. Unfortunately, many of us are so go, go, go that when we finally realize the need for food we just grab the fastest most convenient thing we can find. That could be in a can, a drive through window, or whatever is in the pantry like chips or cereal. Does any of this sound familiar? 

Coming out of a pandemic should give us cause for a quick reflection. I noticed something mentioned frequently with those who were most affected by the illness. Most had another health factor involved causing them to have a harder time. Having bad health to begin with will make any new illness harder on your body.

Why are we compromised? It may go back to what we are putting in our bodies. With wellness at a premium now and in our near futures, I just want to bring our attention back to what is most important. Our bodies are amazing, and our natural immune systems are powerful in dealing with every pathogen that attacks us. 

THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE IS SELF CARE

Getting enough rest, drinking enough water, eating a diet rich in nutrients, and exercising are all vital in helping support our immune system. We can eliminate those substances that crash our system like sugar, caffeine, and food with no real nutritional value. Get a full nights rest. Drink lots of clean water. Water alone can decrease headaches, help your muscles, and give you more energy. Will all of these things this make a difference? From my experience yes, yes, and YES!

What about the afternoon drowsy feeling that is so hard after lunch? This is so real, even when you are doing things right. May I share a secret with you? We have an essential oil blend for headaches called Headache Relief. The oils in this blend are stimulating and help with the pain, inflammation, and heat of headaches. It comes in a roller bottle, and simply rolling that blend of oils across your hairline on the back of your neck and rubbing it up into your neck helps with more than just pain, it is so awakening! Within 5 minutes you will refreshed and energized. My husband has used it so many times when he is driving for a long time. If you start to feel drowsy, it helps so much without a later crash from stimulants that add calories to your diet and bring you down. Whether you suffer from a headache or are just feeling tired, the Headache Relief Serum is what you want to grab.

How to Tell if Your Orange Oil is Actually Organic

How to Tell if Your Orange Oil 

is Actually Organic

It's tricky in the market today to know if an essential oil is actually organic or not. How can one really tell? Thankfully there is a 100% reliable way to be able to tell if an essential is truly organic or not.

Just like food, you want to see the USDA organic seal right on the label of the bottle. If that USDA organic seal is not on the label, then that oil is not organic. That's it. There is no company out there that is actually selling organic essential oils but just not putting it on the label, because that is illegal in this country. So look for the USDA organic seal on the label for higher quality, pesticide free, organic essential oil.

Sweet orange is one of my favorite citrus essential oils. Talk about a mouth watering, sweet, citrus blast. Because Purify’s organic Orange oil is certified organic, it’s ultimately clean and pure, with no trace of pesticides. Sweet orange essential oil has many amazing benefits.

Orange is a mood lifter, and It helps calm anxiety, depressed, or negative moods. The smell is so sweet and fresh that it lifts your mood with just a quick whiff. Diffuse it for a citrus-y heavenly scented room. If you use it like this it also stimulated the right side of the brain, or creative thinking, dance, art, and music.

Orange is also amazing for the skin. It is good for collagen production, and blood flow, all of which are essential for anti-aging. This can help smooth wrinkles and fine lines overtime. Add it to your skin.

Orange is also an amazing cleaner and de-greaser. This is why it’s put in so many cleaning products. You can use pure orange (and lemon!) oil in your home cleaning products for healthy green cleaning that is good for you and your brain.

Are CTPG Essential Oils Better Than Organic Essential Oils?

I Was Shocked... We get so many people who are saying "CTPG oils are better than organic oils", and I'm sure you've probably heard that too. I realize people are NOT getting correct education on the topic of How To Tell Higher Grade Essential Oils From Lower Grade Ones. Because of this, people are being tricked by fancy marketing claims into buying lower grade essential oils. It makes me sad, so I am writing this email.

As I went through the USDA certification process I learned a lot about what it really means to be certified organic directly from the USDA. Being USDA certified organic means: USDA certified organic: It's A Term Granted to the Company by the USDA Regulated by A Neutral Third Party (the USDA) Requires Company Certification Requires Biannual USDA Inspections  Produced ONLY From Certified Organic Crops Toxic Biocides Not Allowed in Crop Production Uses Only NONGMO Plants Must Produce Verification and Papers of Certified Organic Farming for every oil Means the Essential Oil is Organic Only USDA Certified Organic Companies Can Use This Term A REAL Sign of Quality in Essential Oils A Much Higher Standard Verified by the USDA Verified Higher Quality Product by the USDA

Now let's look at what these other marketing claims really mean: CPTG (certified pure therapeutic grade) 100% pure therapeutic grade Seed to seal "Better than" organic (*) Company Gives Itself This Term Not Regulated by Any Neutral Third Party Requires NO Company Certification or Verification May Be Produced From NONOrganic Crops Toxic Biocides May Be Used in Crop Production (**) May Use GMO Plants Does Not Require ANY Verification or Papers Does NOT Mean the Essential Oil is Organic Any Company Can Use This Unregulated Term (exept CTPG which is trademarked) NOT A Real Sign of Quality in Essential Oils A Low Standard, Verification NOT Required by Any Third Party Tricky Marketing Term Created ONLY to make the Consumer THINK they're getting higher quality oils than they are really getting. *Better than Organic is an Illegal Term and does not exist. There is nothing better than organically produced products. If ANY company uses this deceptive, confusing, and illegal term to describe their oils, PLEASE report that company to the USDA who regulates this to prevent companies from deceiving consumers. **Toxic Biocides used in NONorganic farming include but are not limited to: Pesticides, Insecticides, Herbicides, Larvicides, Chemical Fertilizers, Sewage Sludge all of which go through the distillation process, become concentrated, and are in the resulting NONorganic essential oil. It's also false that companies cannot get certified organic produce from other countries. If our little company can, then so can ANY company. That is just what they say to excuse themselves from really getting certified organic products.

I made this graph for a visual of what it really means to be organically certified. USDA certified organic essential oils are the highest quality. Don't fall for tricky marketing claims! They do NOT mean you're getting a better oil. Another thing to consider: Purify Skin Therapy was founded by a Certified Aromatherapist. Most of those other big companies don't even have a Certified Aromatherapist in their entire company. It's better to buy from a company with a Certified Aromatherapist for a plethora of reasons. They know more about the oils, safety, age-appropriate use, etc.

I Hope You Can See The Difference It is a BIG deal to be USDA certified organic. It is some FANCY marketing to be using any of those other self-given terms. Don't fall for fancy marketing claims! If you're going to spend your money on essential oils get the good ones. Here at Purify Skin Therapy we pride ourselves on offering the highest quality product on the market. We work hard to bring you only the best USDA certified organic and wildcrafted essential oils. We know if you buy one of our USDA certified organic oils and compare it to any other brand you will see the difference for yourself.
