The Emotional Journey of Our
Daughters
From Girls, to Women
using aromatherapy

Teenage Girls and
Aromatherapy
Teenage girls encounter several problems
during the journey from a child into a young
woman; some of these problems affect both
physical and mental health. Mental
health problems, in particular, can be an
emotional roller coaster for a teenage
girl and can cause her confusion, depression
and anger. Using essential oils in
aromatherapy can help to control or eliminate
some of the difficulties a teenage girl
endures during this time. |
There are obvious changes in
the sexual characteristics and recent
research show changes to the brain,
social development and effects of the media.
It has been discovered that folds and creases
of the brain rapidly develop through
adolescence, mainly in the cognitive and
emotional areas.
By the time individuals have reached age 15 or
so, their basic thinking abilities are
comparable to those of adults.
Self concept, self esteem
and self identity are all areas that
develop at this time.
|
‘Peer Pressure’
can also lead to a negative influence and
cause teenagers to experiment with drugs and
alcohol, truancy, stealing and vandalism.
Too often we associate our teen years with
angst and emotional turmoil rather than
positive emotions like joy and bliss.
|
But the teenage years don’t
have to be stressful. Finding your identity
and your way in life can be a spiritual
journey of learning and discovery and
essential oils can help bring the balance so
desperately needed during this tumultuous
time. Here are a few tips which you as a teen
may find useful, or as a parent, you might
like to suggest to your teens.
Knowing God’s Word and what it says about how
we should treat one another is number 1 in
managing teen struggles. Just because
you feel like punching something doesn’t mean
you get to be rude to everyone.
Pray. Praying with and for your teens is
crucial. These years are fragile.
Handle with prayer.
Essential Oils. We use a variety of oils
that we have found to really help when one of
us is feeling “off”. Here are a few that
we love with a capitol L.
Women's
Balance, is a blend specially
for use when you need a little courage during
tough times. The calming aroma helps
soothe and balance heightened emotions. Helps
balance mood throughout the month.

Building self-confidence
These Essential Oils can help to build
self esteem. So how do we become more
confident? Is it possible to boost that
confidence with essential oils?
Essential oils can help boost confidence by
relieving stress, fear, and the nervous
tension that comes with facing people and
situations that make us feel
uncomfortable. The following essential
oils can help build self-esteem:
Basil
– diffuse it or
dilute in any carrier oil (10 drops per
tablespoon) and apply to the whole frontal
line (this runs from the heart area upwards
and downwards extending from the front of the
neck to the pubic bone, parallel to the spine)
or dilute and use in a soothing bath.
Bergamot
– diffuse it or dilute in a carrier oil
(10 drops per tablespoon) and apply to the
heart and chest area or dilute and use in a
bath.
Spice
oils – Cardamom
diffuse or dilute in any carrier oil and
apply on the forehead, Cinnamon
Leaf diffuse or
dilute in any carrier oil (10-15 drops
per tablespoon) and apply on the whole frontal
line, Cinnamon
Bark (diffuse) or Ginger
(diffuse). Note that Cardamom and Cinnamon
are also aphrodisiac.
Female
Aid blend – diffuse it or
dilute it 2% in any carrier oil (10 drops per
tablespoon) and do a whole body massage or
dilute it 3-5% in any carrier oil (15-25 drops
per tablespoon) and apply to the heart and
chest area or dilute and use in a bath.
Woman’s
Balance As someone
who is very very hormonal during my menstral
cycle, I really enjoy using this oil to help
combat that. I do believe it helps equal me
out, when I'm not myself it works like a
charm!
Loving touch - At this time when you
are no longer likely to ask your mother or
father for a hug or a cuddle, it is important
to still find a way to experience healthy
touch.
I like to use cardamom
and lavender,
with a carrier oil, and rub my daughter's
feet, while we talk about her day, like:
about her eating and sleeping habits,
friendship groups, levels of energy and self
esteem and her hobbies/activities outside
school it is a good time to have her
open up about her feelings, and stay
connected.
Or you could book yourself (or your teen) in
for regular aromatherapy massages. This will
also help reduce stress and help bring the
bliss that should be part of puberty and teen
years.

Essential
Oils and Pre-Teen
to Teen Issues
|
Agitation How
often does your teen get agitated for no
reason at all. Well, encourage them to use Lavender
to stay calm. In fact, lavender
is the oil of communication. Encourage them to
open up about their agitation by using lavender
on a daily basis. KidCare Relax Ease
- Helps create a calming, tranquil
environment.
Tranquility blend
The oils in this blend have been used to
reduce depression, anxiety, stress and
tension.
Do you know a teen who's a bit forgetful? Try
Alert.
It's a great study diffuser blend. Keep
them sharp.
Fear
Your teens may not open up to you about
the fear they experience as a result of
social interactions, friend struggles or
concerns about their future. A great essential
oil to combat fear is Juniper
. Try Cassia
(the oil of Self - Assurance) or Cypress
(the oil of Motion & Flow) for the
teenager who's struggling to move forward with
confidence.
Study
Your teens need oils for their study sessions
to help alleviate the anxiety, to focus, and
to retain their knowledge. My favorite Alert
. Or B-Power
- it's all in the name. Clarity
blend really heightens concentration &
mental alertness. Kid Care Essential
Oil Attention Focus.
Helps keep your child focused and on task.
Attention Focus can help at home and at school
by keeping their attention on what is in front
of them.
Muscle
Pain & Tension - Teens can
experience a lot of tension and stress as a
result of the rigors of their lives. Whether
an athlete, a musician, performer, or just a
book worm. KidCare Stress Be
Gone Will relieve your
child’s occasional head and neck tension. No-Mo-Pain
this blend helps to reduce pain, headaches,
and swelling. Pain -
Anti-inflammatory Relaxing -
Helps to calm nerves and soothe muscles and
joints. Sore Muscle &
Headache Stick is so easy to
carry in a roll-on bottle.
Seep Teens don't get enough
sleep. Night
Cap helps relieve nighttime
restlessness. Encourage them to have
their own small sample roller bottle
filled with KidCare
Peaceful Slumber - Helps
soothe the mind and emotions. Helps promote a
good night’s rest.
Essential oils have brought much needed relief
to our home and the emotions of a pre-teen,
teenager, and young adult. Essential oils go
hand in hand with the above information
given. Hope this helps your home as well.

Strength
– My personal fave. It helps when
you feel “off” and teenagers feel off a lot.
Restore
Peace – Need I say more?
Frankincense
– This oil is great for skin! I mix it
with a carrier oil and my teens use it on
their face. Frankincense also helps you
feel confident.
Lavender
– Growing….this is what you need. Rub it
right on their legs and it will help them get
good sleep.
Happy
Memories – Some days your
poor teen can really struggle with a lack of
joy. A little of this rubbed over their
heart will help them feel better about life.
Peppermint
– It just lifts your mood plus it’s great for
bad breath.
Female
Aid – OK I said
it. There are certain days of the month
when my daughters have more trouble than
others. This oil blend is specifically
made for those hormone filled days.
B-Power
– This one is one you will love! I love how
well it helps your test taking, essay writing,
fact memorizing teen focus.
Neroli
- is known to be very calming, especially with
those that deal with stress and anxiety. A
fantastic oil to use right before your
slumber. Lightening up your emotions helps
your mind and body get ready rest and
relaxation. This citrusy essential oil is a
great addition to your skin care regimen. It
reduces the appearance of scars and helps
wrinkles be less noticeable. It also lowers
the feeling of inflammation throughout the
body.
Basil -
considered a cleanser of the mind, body, and
spirit. Known as “the elixir of life,” this
unique oil is used for a variety of wellness
purposes. This soul soothing fragrance with a
clove-like accent renews your mind and boosts
vitality.
