Essential Oil Recipes for Hyperactivity
We have had helped many clients that suffer from various forms of hyperactivity. Despite what is touted on the internet, there is not just one blend or just some oils that work. There are many essential oils that assist with calming the mind, psyche and spirit.
Hyperactivity is, by definition, having increased movement, impulsive actions, a shorter attention span, and being easily distracted. It’s caused by ADHD, Brain or Central Nervous System Disorders, and a Racing Brain, among other things.
While the first instinct when working with hyperactivity is to look for oils to relax, sedate, and calm down, it is really important to also include oils for clarity and to uplift. When only sedating and grounding oils were used, there have been instances where lethargy and a bit of depression have set in. This in part is due to the chemical component linalol. Balance here is the key when working with issues dealing with the brain.
Essential oils that help with hyperactivity
With that being said, here are some oils that we have found to be extremely effective in assisting with hyperactivity of all sorts.
