It is usually during the time before a child becomes a teenager that huge changes begin to occur in the brain and body, and this process requires a great deal of energy.
Understandably, teens are often tired due to the enormous changes going on inside them.
The brain is pruning sections that it doesn’t need, and maturing other areas, bones are being changed and shaped for adulthood, and the reproductive system is developing and maturing. Hormones and emotions are at an all-time high—and this can upset the digestive system, and leave the immune system weak.
Regular exercise, stress management skills, and eating a healthy, unprocessed diet, can all help teenagers to remain healthy. A well-functioning digestive system will greatly support teenagers to maintain brain health and focus, emotional health, and to keep the immune system strong, at a time when bodily changes can leave them vulnerable to infection.
Essential Oils can that help support digestion in teenagers include:
• Spearmint
• Lemon
• Wild Orange
• Peppermint
• Lime
• Patchouli
• Encouraging Blend
• Detoxification Blend
• Digestive Blend
SPEARMINT has many uses: not only is it very supportive to the digestive system, but is also calming to the nervous system; it is good for the skin, reproductive system, and supportive for the emotions.
Milder than Peppermint, SPEARMINT is a good alternative for those with sensitive skin. It is beneficial to the skin where there is acne, sores, or scarring. SPEARMINT has a cleansing and uplifting aroma and can be used to promote a positive mood and a sense of focus, while also having many digestive benefits.
