A Growing Concern
Currently there are many kids who have learning and cognitive concerns. They may be labeled as Autistic, ADD, ADHD, Dyslexic and everything in between on this spectrum. This protocol is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent illness. Our goal is to help the body balance, repair, and cleanse toxins and fungus from the brain and body as much as possible. We believe that the body knows how to heal, repair and balance. There is much we CAN do to help our children!! This protocol has had lots of success with our friends and family.
As with many imbalances, there are many causes. We believe the best solution is to take a holistic approach.
We encourage alignment on both the physical and emotional level.
Suggested Reading: Disconnected Kids by Dr. Robert Melillo
This books talks about how we can naturally help our kid’s brain balance again.
Brain Exercise
As a school teacher, I liked doing this brain cross over exercise with my students to help them learn. This helps the left and right brain make electrical connections as we cross over the center of our brains.
Brain Exercise: Do this morning and night. This helps with better communication between left and right brain.
Step 1) Apply essential oils: rub both Balance Grounding Blend, Sandalwood oil & InTune Focus Blend essential oils blends ①across forehead, and on the ② back of the neck, ③ ears, and ④ big toes.
Step 2) Do the brain dance: ①Place right hand on left ear then left hand on left ear. ②Place right elbow on left knee then left elbow on right knee. ③Place right hand on left toes then left hand on right toes. ④Cross right arm and leg over left side of body then left arm and legs over right side of body.
Nourish Cells
Nourish Cells: It is generally accepted that we are what we eat, and nutrition is the biggest contributor to our wellness. If we put quality ‘raw building materials’ in our body, then we will be building a quality healthy body. Proper nutrition can aid children in focusing, thinking clearly, behaving, connecting with others, and being happy.
1) Feed the Brains: The brain is made up of mostly fat. Feed the brains with a spectrum of absorbable omega oils. Use a wonderful source of bioavailable omega oil blends for children. dōTERRA offers the IQ Mega. 1 2
2) Feed the Cells: Feed them good and nutritious food and supplements. Many health problems are simply symptoms of nutritional deficiencies. dōTERRA offers the A2Z Chewable supplements for children.3
Tip: LOVE helps the body absorb nutrients more. Help your children know they are unconditionally loved. Motivate good behavior with love and never with guilt, shame or fear. The cells of the body have energy that is controlled by ‘feelings.’ When we feel fearful and unsafe in anyway, our cells don’t assimilate goodness well.
Care for the Gut
Care for the Gut: Most disconnected and unfocused kids also have food intolerances and sensitivities. Many parents call them ‘picky eaters!’ However, most children are not inherently picky or predisposed to ill-behavior. Their brain is all switched on and over stimulated so it makes it difficult for them to relax and focus. They are overly sensitive to everything they put in their mouth. The state of their gut has a lot to do with their food sensitivity and brain chemicals. Did you know that the gut has more brain chemicals or neurotransmitters than the brain? That’s why people call the gut the body’s second brain.
A healthy clean gut is free from fungus overgrowth and bad flora. Healthy flora by contrast improves energy, mood, and cognitive abilities. A healthy gut also improves a person’s immunity because up to eighty percent of your body’s immune response system is in your digestive track especially your gut. The gut contains a lot of neurotransmitters, which help with brain functions. Can you see how a clean gut also improves immunity and clear thinking.
Natural Solutions for Gut Care:
1) Detox and cleanse naturally with foods and essential oils. Have them drink 1-2 drops of Lemon & Wild Orange essential oils in water several times a day to help them gently detox and cleanse the gut. Lemon essential oil is great for the left brain (logical reasoning) and Wild Orange essential oil is great for the right brain (creativity). Other essential oils have wonderful detoxifying benefits, too such as Copaiba.
2) Improve the gut’s digestive abilities. Apply Digestive essential oil blend on the bottom of the feet daily especially in the stomach reflex points (middle area of the arch). Avoid sugar, wheat and other inflammatory foods. Drink fluoride-free water. Use DigestZen & TerraZyme daily.
3) Establish a healthy gut flora. Take a natural probiotic that is encapsulated and designed to promote healthy gut flora. Probiotic helps establish a healthy gut flora. A healthy gut does not act alone. Rather, our guts naturally employ healthy bacteria that live symbiotically with us in our gut. This healthy layer of good bacteria also provides a natural defense boosting our overall immunity. dōTERRA offers a special probiotic powder for kids called PB Assist Jr.
Detox the Brain Cells
Detox the Brain Cells: Toxins and heavy metals may be lodged in the brains causing brain cell damage and disruptions to cellular communication. Give your body all the tools you can to detox the brain.
Natural Solution to Detoxing the Brain:
There are many essential oils that aid the body’s ability to naturally detox. We recommend just a few of our favorites. Use a drop of Cilantro essential oil and Clove essential oil on the bottom of the feet and the big toes daily for as long as you need.4 Cilantro is a powerful detoxifier. Research suggests that Cilantro essential oil can assist the body in reducing some heavy metals. Clove is very high in antioxidants, and antioxidants help eliminate free radicals. We apply the oils to the big toes because the big toes are the reflex point for the brain. You can make a blend of these oils in a glass roller bottle to make it easier.
People use to believe children are born clean slates!~ well not really. Some children are born with accumulated toxins from parents and environment. A simple blood test can identify hundreds of toxins in their system. Sad, I know! Sometimes, they are born with allergies, skin problems, food intolerance, behavior problems and other health problems right away.
Managing Mood & Emotions
Natural Solution to Manage Mood and Emotions:
Aroma has a powerful way of affecting the general mood and triggering emotions. This gives you the ability to naturally influence your child’s mood or emotions in a positive natural way.
1) Diffuse essential oils during moments of tenseness or stress:
- Balance Grounding blend—calming anxious feelings, emotions, or tension, grounding
- Wild Orange essential oil—calming anxious feelings, emotions, or tension and stress, uplifting, stimulating creativity, energizing
- Lemon essential oil—uplifting, improving focus and clarity
- InTune Focus blend—improving focus, encouraging learning
- Vetiver essential oil—grounding, relaxing, assisting in resting
- Lavender or Serenity Calming blend—sleeping aid, calming, relaxing, soothing anger and frustration
- Cedarwood essential oil—sleeping aid, helping with connection to other people
- Sandalwood & Frankincense essential oils—calming, helping brains cell connections
- Patchouli essential oil—helping us be aware of our body signals, calming & relaxing
- Marjoram essential oil—helping with connection to other people, calming & relaxing
TIP: Choose a combination that the child likes.
2) Adjust colors and light in the home to set a calm mood and help your child stay in control.
Colors and light can over-stimulate and stress disconnected kids. Fluorescent light can be over stimulating.5 Choose soft light and colors to support them. For example, dress them in their favorite colors or soft shades of their favorite colors.
Other Preventative Approaches
Reduce the toxic load:
Use essential oils for common health concerns to reduce toxic load on the body from medications and synthetic chemicals. Most of these children are highly sensitive to chemicals and toxins. We strongly recommend caregivers use natural cleaners and natural personal care products on and around these children to reduce toxic load on their cells.
Try natural SLS-free shampoo & conditioners, Protective essential oil blend toothpaste a fluoride-free toothpaste, triclosan-free natural protective essential oil blend foaming hand wash, etc.678910
