abilities. Often anxiety brings about other issues such as depression, fatigue, and mental exhaustion all of which can be dealt with using this essential oil.
Lavender: Most commonly used for its relaxing
properties, lavender can often be over- looked when it comes to other issues. Relieving nervous tension, exhaustion, headaches, mood swings, and acting as a sedative for the central nervous system are a great handful of other issues this essential oil can help with on a mental and emotional level.
FOCUSING DURING CLASS OR STUDY TIME
Focusing and staying on task can be of concern for all ages and tend to be more cause for concern during the school year when we are trying to study for that next big test! Studying and test taking can be a very stressful and trying time throughout the school year. While you can rely on the oils we discussed above for stress, if the problem during these times lies in staying focused and/or retaining the information, there are two very simple oils you can add to your collection. Lemon (Citrus limon), and rosemary (Rosemaranis officinalis) can be used separately but tend to work more effectively when blended together at equal parts. The effects of Rosemary and Lavender essential oils were tested on 140 subjects that were divided into three groups, one
being a control group. Either Lavender or Rosemary was diffused into a test cubicle prior to testing; Lavender produced a sig- nificant decrease in performance of work- ing memory and impaired reaction times for both attention and memory based tasks. Rosemary, on the other hand, significantly enhanced the overall quality of memory and the Rosemary group was much more alert as compared to the Lavender and control groups.
Lemon: This essential oil is great for helping
one improve concentration. It tends to help you stay alert and gives you a bit of energy you may be lacking.
Rosemary ct. Camphor: Known as an amazing mental stimulant; rosemary helps the brain to retain the information you are taking in.
These two oils can be used sepa-
rately for their individual properties, but work best when blended together to maximize all of the benefits they offer.

snap bottom cap on and use. SLEEP
Trouble falling asleep or being able to
stay asleep can many times present itself during high anxiety and/or stressful situa- tions. If students of any age begin to have issues at night you can first address them with the Lavender discussed above; for sleep issues Lavender essential oil will help quiet the mind, calm your whole body and bring you to a relaxed state where sleep is more likely to take place. During cases in which you find Lavender may not be enough, you can try adding Marjoram sweet (Origanum marjorana) to the mix.
Marjoram Sweet: This essential oil is a bit stronger
than others when using for sleep, it acts fast letting your brain know there is no time to do anything other than be quiet and sleep. Known as a sedative and its ability to lower nervous tension and anxiety it pairs well with other oils to calm your body for a relaxing, peaceful night’s sleep.
