Whether you're a parent guiding your little Einstein through homework challenges, a student aiming to conquer the classroom, or simply someone looking to enhance your own mental prowess, we've got a fragrant secret to share with you ~ and just in time for back to school, whether your kiddos are young or off to college! Brace yourselves, because we're diving into the aromatic world of essential oils that can rev up your brainpower and elevate your focus game!

Picture this: you're navigating the realm of concentration, and suddenly, you're armed with the power of Vetiver, Cedarwood, Brain Power, KidScent GeneYus or KidScents GeneYus Roll-On, and Envision essential oils. Intrigued? You should be! These aromatic wonders aren't just delightful to your olfactory senses; they also work magic on your cognitive abilities and help you ride the wave of focus like a pro.

Now, let's spill the beans on the science behind this fragrant phenomenon. Dr. Terry Friedmann, an essential oil enthusiast and researcher, embarked on a study that unveiled some pretty mind-boggling results. Brace yourselves for this: the study showed a jaw-dropping 32% boost in mental focus among children who inhaled the essence of Vetiver. And wait for it… similar awe-inspiring outcomes were observed in the Cedarwood inhalation group. Mind blown, right?

The cool thing is with some of these amazing blends, you get all the goodies!  Brain Power has Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Lavender, among other oils, in it ~ 3 of the recommended oils for focus and clarity)! 

Kidscents Geneyus has Vetiver, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, among other oils, in it ~ again, 3 of the recommended oils for focus and clarity!

So, what's the secret sauce behind these essential oils turning us into focus ninjas? It's all in the molecules, dear readers. Let's get a bit technical here, but don't worry – we'll make it snappy. Vetiver and Cedarwood are like the dynamic duo of sesquiterpenes, which are supercharged compounds that pack a punch. They go into action mode, delivering precious oxygen molecules to your brain cells – think of them as the superheroes of your cognitive universe.

Remember how oxygen is vital for survival? Well, it turns out that your brain is a big fan of it, too. When these sesquiterpenes swoop in, they bring a fresh surge of oxygen, like a much-needed caffeine kick for your brain cells. More oxygen means more brainpower, and that translates to laser-sharp focus.

But that's not all, folks! These magical oils are like brainwave whisperers, coaxing your overactive mind into a state of zen-like focus. They're the symphony conductors orchestrating a harmonious tune within your gray matter.

Intrigued by the numbers? Prepare to be wowed. Cedarwood boasts an astonishing 98% sesquiterpenes – talk about an oxygen-packed powerhouse! Vetiver is right behind it at 97%, while Sandalwood has 90% sesquiterpenes. It's like your brain just won the oxygen jackpot!

But wait - we've got more for you on your path to better focus!  We've uncovered the captivating world of essential oils that turbocharge your brainpower ~ and now, we're about to dive into a realm equally important for your mental prowess: the land of sweet, rejuvenating slumber.

You see, the path to peak cognition isn't solely illuminated by daylight; the quality of your sleep plays an equally pivotal role. So, my fellow seekers of focus, gather 'round as we unveil the secrets to achieving both razor-sharp concentration and a peaceful, restful night's sleep.

Imagine this: you've armed yourself with a bundle of sleepytime oils, including Peace & Calming, Cedarwood, Valor, Lavender, SleepyIze, RutaVaLa, RutaVaLa Roll-on, and Tranquil Roll-On. These aromatic sidekicks are your golden tickets to the realm of dreamland, working harmoniously to soothe your senses and guide you into a serene slumber. Keep these oils on hand and diffuse them each evening at bedtime – it's like a fragrant lullaby for your mind and body.  Pick one or two to diffuse (I like Lavender & Cedarwood together).  You can also pick one or two to use topically - I like to apply right at the top of my neck, just below the back of the skull.

But wait, there's more! How about a DIY Nighttime Linen Spray – a magical elixir that transforms your sleep environment into a haven of tranquility. Spray it onto your sheets, blankets, pajamas, and even your beloved stuffed animals before bedtime. Get a 4-oz glass spray bottle, add 30 drops of Peace & Calming and 15 drops of Lavender, a splash of witch hazel, and add water – a concoction of pure serenity that's bound to whisk you away into dreamland.

Now, let's take a detour from the world of oils and sprays and venture into the realm of supplements. Meet KidScents Unwind – a magnesium-based masterpiece designed to help you unwind before bedtime with an improved sweetener called Reb M. Reb M is a zero-calorie sweetener derived from non-GMO, rapidly renewable sugar cane, making it a highly sustainable choice in line with our environmental stewardship values! Reb M is also much closer to the taste of real sugar, making Unwind that much tastier to kiddos who’ve come to love what it can do. KidScents Unwind is specially formulated to help children settle down and reduce restlessness even when energy is high. It uses calming ingredients—including L-theanine, 5-HTP, and magnesium—to promote a restful, relaxed state; help with occasional sleeplessness; and even reduce occasional irritability and stress. Packaged in convenient, one-dose packets, KidScents Unwind makes it easy to help your children enjoy a sense of calm so they can stay focused both at home and in the classroom.

But that's not all! Brace yourselves for a surprising twist in our quest for improved sleep and cognitive excellence. Enter KidScents MightyPro – a gut health supplement that may seem like an unconventional ally in the sleep department. However, cutting-edge research has revealed a fascinating connection between gut health and quality sleep. A well-nurtured gut isn't just the key to overall well-being; it's the silent conductor orchestrating a symphony of restful nights and vibrant, focused days.

So, there you have it, intrepid explorers of cognitive enhancement and restful sleep. As you tread the path towards peak focus, remember that a well-rested mind is a powerhouse of concentration. With your arsenal of essential oils for focus and slumber by your side, you're equipped to conquer each day with clarity and to embrace the night with tranquility. It's time to unlock your full cognitive potential and experience the symphony of a well-balanced, well-rested mind. Here's to brighter days and more peaceful nights! 

Of course, you don't need ALL these products at once.  Pick a few to try - use your intuition about which ones sound right for you and your family's needs.  And remember, the pricey oils, like Sandalwood, can also be found in some of the blends - which makes it affordable to get the benefits of that oil for a fraction of the cost.  For a quick and easy shopping list you can pick and choose which products you want and add them to your shopping cart (or choose the monthly Loyalty Rewards order you can change each month for 10-25% back in rewards points), CLICK HERE (If you already have an account, you can just log in after clicking on the link and save the wish list.)
