Why Essential Oils for ADHD Work
Chamomile and vetiver essential oils will help calm scattered thoughts. They are calming and great for stress – in fact chamomile makes my top ten list of essential oils for stress!
While those two oils help relieve stress, the orange, neroli, and bergamot bring the energizing effect of citrus essential oils to bear. Any blues or lingering brain fog will melt away! Neroli is an intense, uplifting oil I’ve recommended for mood, libido, and more.
Geranium essential oil is a favorite for anxiety that over-active thought processes can bring and has been shown to help with the effectiveness of labor, so those properties add to the power of this blend. Geranium’s floral scent is divine. It can and will add body to the blend.
For an additional potential application with school-aged kids, try using these essential oils for ADHD in our DIY hand sanitizer with essential oils! Simply replace the other potential blends with the Help Me Focus Blend of essential oils.
Other Causes of Focus Difficulties
There can be many things that impact your focus, from sleep to hormone balance to environmental issues! Here are some other aspects to consider and ways to help improve your focus while you use essential oils for ADD.
If sleep problems are a contributing factor, essential oils for sleep might help. Then you won’t feel like you have to rely solely on caffeine or medications to help you focus.
Your exercise and eating patterns can affect your ability to focus as well – see what to eat to stay fit and healthy for more information on how intermittent fasting can help your body process food more efficiently and improve your overall energy levels.
Autoimmune diseases and hormone imbalances like hypo or hyperthyroid problems often present with fatigue and focus issues as symptoms.
Even environmental toxins can trigger mind fog – for example, EMF radiation in our homes. This is why we did our Toxic-Free Healthy Home Tour, a favorite class in our Bible Health Academy, to help show people the possibilities for giving your home a healthy makeover and improving the health of their environment.
Focus issues can be short-term bumps in the road or something you struggle with often. Regardless of how you’re struggling to focus, this uplifting blend of essential oils for ADD/ADHD should be helpful to you.
Whether you have an official ADHD diagnosis or not, this Help Me Focus blend has essential oils that can help you take control of scattered thoughts or cut through brain fog.

***No matter what allergies you may have, there’s a carrier oil that’s right for you. You can use any, or a combination of these: Avocado, Fractionated Coconut, Grapeseed, Jojoba, Sweet Almond. The best carrier oils for this recipe are fractionated coconut oil and jojoba oil because they absorb quickly and work the best. I always do half fractionated coconut oil and jojoba oil.
