Still in summer vacay mode but in need of getting back into focus mode…. We got you! 🙂↔️
Focus and concentration are often challenges in any situation for many children, but especially when going back to school after summer vacay when our minds are still elsewhere. Some tools to consider would be supplements that feed and support brain health as well as calm the spirit.✨
Providing gentle herbs that calm and ground children can go a long way in allowing for learning and focus to be easier to facilitate.
Some of our fave products to ground + calm the spirit & create deeper focus:
✔️Calm Child by Planetary Herbals® —
This formula takes the edge off allowing for relaxation and aiding focus and learning. It combines the soothing nervine botanicals Chamomile, Lemon Balm, and Catnip, with the nourishing tonifiers Hawthorn, Zizyphus, Gotu Kola extract, and Amla. Additional herbs and nutrients, traditionally used by cultures around the world support alertness and focus in children.
✔️A product like Nordic Naturals Omega-3 fishies for children are a great addition for supporting focus and calm. The essential fatty acid DHA ( Docosahexaenoic acid) which is found ubiquitously in fish (and certain algae), is known for its capacity to nourish and support brain health. A deficiency in DHA can be associated with deficits in learning. The other fatty acid in fish, EPA, is also important. Taken together is the ideal balance.
✔️ Remedy Holistic Pharmacy Lavender essential oil is a good quality lavender gently wafting from a diffuser, massaged onto the feet, or added to a relaxing tub can work wonders on the agitated soul.
To really get clear on what your child may need, book an herbalist consultation since there can be multiple factors involved in focus and attention. Integrative/natural medicine looks at the whole person, not just the diagnosis. 🫶🏼
