Exam Fuel: 3 DIY Recipes to help your kids increase Focus & Concentration

The time of the year is here again! As exams approach, a whirlwind of emotions envelops our children, creating a unique atmosphere charged with anticipation, opportunities, excitement with an undeniable undercurrent of anxiety.

In today's digital-driven age, the allure of instant gratification permeates almost every aspect of our lives and this has nothing to do with age. This pervasive culture of instant gratification poses a significant challenge to sustaining attention, making it increasingly difficult for individuals to maintain focus and concentration.

Parents might be asking, "How can I help my child to stay focus and concentrate?", "Is there anything that I can do to boost my child's cognitive performance? " The solution is found in the utilisation of essential oils through the use of aromatherapy.

Below are 3 DIY recipes to diffuse that we personally liked best to help support our children to help them stay focused, anxiety-free, and energized to prepare for their examination (or any time of year).

Recipe 1 - Brainy Breeze Diffuser Blend

Stay focused so that you or your little ones can complete the work quickly. Studies have shown that the mere aroma of Rosemary can improve performance on cognitive tasks while Clary Sage can help alleviate anxiety and mental clutter, allowing for clearer thought processes and sharper focus. Synergise these two essential oils in equal drops to enhance environment for focus and concentration.

Recipe 2 - Focus Force Diffuser Blend

For minds that buzz with restless energy and incessant activity, finding focus can often feel like trying to calm a storm. Enter Lime and Chamomile Roman - nature's serene duo. The zesty and invigorating aroma of lime acts as a refreshing reset, clearing mental clutter and inviting clarity. Meanwhile, the gentle and soothing essence of Roman Chamomile wraps the mind in a tranquil embrace, easing agitation and anchoring wandering thoughts. Together, they create a harmonious balance, guiding an active mind towards centered concentration and calm purpose.

Recipe 3 - Anxiety Away Diffuser Blend

A simple blend to help your child combat occasional anxiety. Sweet Orange adds a touch of joy, while the gentle notes of Lavender and Chamomile Roman soothe restless young minds. Frankincense in the background has a grounding effect and provides a balanced and calming aura. Tailored for the delicate senses, this blend offers a peaceful oasis of serenity amidst the hectic energy of childhood.
