If you have children who struggle with anxiety then you know how heart-wrenching it can be to walk through this with them. We’ve had seasons of high anxiety in our children and other seasons of little or none. Over the years we have tried various natural products and had success with several of them. Below are a few of our favorites, as well as the companies where we purchase them.
- Calming Essential Oils
Essential oils are a great natural resource for calming heightened emotions. You can use them topically or diffuse them. We’ve used several individual oils as well as blends from specific companies over the years and have found they all work well – in different ways. Some of our favorites are Lavender, Cedarwood, and Peace and Calming (a blend from Young Living).
- Bach’s Rescue Remedy
Rescue Remedy is a blend of 5 flowers that offers a non-habit forming relief from everyday stress. Drop a few drops under the tongue as needed to help keep your child calm or bring emotions down when anxiety is building.
- CBD Oil
- While this one can be a bit controversial, we have had good success using a high quality CBD oil with our children to keep their anxiety at bay. Our girls use a full spectrum oil everyday because it has to build up in their systems. They have not experienced any side effects from it, only less stress and anxiety. The two places I recommend purchasing CBD Oil:
- Hempworks
- Haven Farms – havenfarm.myshopify.com
