Worldwide, sensitization rates to one or more common allergens among school children are currently approaching 40%-50%.3 11 percent of the children ages 4 to 17 in the US have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD 1 in 68 children have been identified as having autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the US

Avoid processed foods

Remove common food triggers: Dairy, Gluten, Sugar
Include raw fruits and vegetables daily
Supplement with quality brain food – healthy fats & fish oil
Use a food enzyme with each meal
Begin the day with healthy protein
Russell L. Blaylock, MD, has written Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills,1 in which he explains that certain amino acids when overly abundant in the brain can cause neurons to die. Many biochemicals can act as neurotransmitters in the brain—some excite our neurons; others calm them. In particular, glutamate, aspartate, and cysteine are three amino acids that excite our neurons and can be called "excitotoxins." They are now added in large amounts to our food supply. MSG & Aspartame common examples. **Often MSG and related toxins are added to foods in disguised forms. For example, among the food manufacturers favorite disguises are 'hydrolyzed vegetable protein,' 'vegetable protein,' 'natural flavorings,' and 'spices.' Each of these may contain from 12 per cent to 40 per cent MSG.“

Vetiver has historically been called the oil of tranquility. It may be psychologically grounding, calming, and stabilizing. It helps us cope with stress and recover from emotional shock & trauma. It is balancing emotionally and encourages mental clarity. Research on vetiver indicated inhaling vetiver improved focus, reaction time and performance during visual discrimination tests (critical skills for reading, writing, learning, and social skills). You can read more about this study here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/ 23124250
Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanoides) has a heavy, earthy fragrance similar to patchouli with a touch of lemon. Vetiver oil is psychologically grounding, calming, and stabilizing. One of the oils that is highest in sesquiterpenes, vetiver was studied by Dr. Terry Friedmann for improving children's behavior. Vetiver may help when coping with stress and to recover from emotional trauma and shock. Vetiver has an approximate ORAC of 742,792 (TE/L). TE/L is expressed as micromole Trolox equivalent per liter.

Your oils don’t help you when they are left in the bottle.
Your oils are more effective when used consistently.
If you find that you are not getting the results you desire, try a new oil. Add in a supplement. Increase how frequently you are using them.
Address gut health with diet changes and probiotic supplementation. When the gut isn’t happy, the brain isn’t happy.
