When all of the kids started back to school-at-home again in March for quarantine, I started diffusing this amazing-smelling blend of Bergamot, Peppermint, and Cinnamon Bark.  I love it so much that it’s stuck with me as my go-to daily diffuser blend.  It’s an incredible way to emotionally support the kids while they’re trying to get their school work knocked out in the face of so much uncertainty.

Here’s why I chose these particular oils:

Bergamot is known for it’s soothing, calming, anxiety-reducing, mood-lifting qualities.  It’s one of my most favorite oils.  It has a spicy citrusy scent that I think goes with everything.  It’s regularly a frequent flyer in my diffuser.  But especially now given all of the upheaval and unusual circumstances in which we find ourselves during quarantine, Bergamot is a must-have for me.

Peppermint has a purifying, alerting, and stimulating fragrance while also inspiring a sense of peace.  It’s a great one to get the day moving, but it also invokes focus and attention, which is another reason it’s a must-have during school work time.

Cinnamon Bark is another favorite scent, though the kids often remark that it reminds them of Christmas.  It has a stimulating quality, which is sometimes needed to get through all the school work assignments!  Paired with Bergamot and Peppermint, though, it really adds such a nice comforting aroma.

Now I want to hear from you … what have you been diffusing during quarantine?
