A Basic Guide
Parenting a neurodivergent child can be a challenge.
I understand. I do it everyday.
Children with disabilities and disorders can require special support for even the most basic daily tasks and routines. Staying calm, getting enough rest, managing their mood and focusing on the task at hand is not something that comes easily to our neurodiverse children.
Deficits in these areas combine to create a perfect storm of stress, overload and overwhelm – resulting in an inevitable meltdown.
This is a daily reality for many children and their families.
Support comes to us in many forms – dedicated therapists who teach our children (and us) strategies to cope, supplements and dietary intervention that do their best to assist struggling little bodies, plus I also use essential oils.
Essential oils can be used for a wide range of emotional and physical wellness applications, but I want to stress that essential oils are not meant to be a replacement for medical drugs and/or professional therapy.
The reason I use them is simply this: my kids do better with them than without them. And with all the struggles our neurodiverse children face on a daily basis, I am up for anything that can help them out!
I choose to use doTERRA essential oils and blends for their guaranteed purity and potency, which I believe is an important consideration when choosing an essential oil company.
In this practical guide, you’re going to learn how essential oils can support neurodivergent people, plus the basics of essential oils and how to use them.

CHAPTER ONE – A Basic Introduction to Essential Oils
What are essential oils and how do they work?
Essential oils are compounds that contain the ‘essence’ of the plant they come from. They have the ability to quickly transform from their liquid state to a gas state at room temperature. This is why their scent is usually the first thing you notice about them.
Essential oils are quickly absorbed by the smell receptors in the nose, which have a direct link to the limbic system in the brain by way of the olfactory nerve. The limbic system is part of the brain that supports a variety of functions including smell, emotions, behaviour, and memory.
From here, the unique chemical composition of an essential oil has the ability to do a number of things including calm, soothe, energise, uplift, warm or even cool a person.
How do you use essential oils?
There are three main ways to use essential oils:
1. Aromatically
The aromatic use of essential oils consists of benefiting from the natural properties of the oils by way of breathing in the aroma.
While topical and internal application require the body to come in contact with the oil, aromatic application merely requires the essential oil to pass through the nose in order to offer the benefits.
Aromatic use is typically achieved by diffusing or inhaling essential oils directly.
You can read more about the aromatic use of essential oils in doTERRA’s Aromatic Use of Essential Oils eBook.
2. Topically
Topical use is the direct application of an essential oil to the skin or the body. This is usually done by mixing the essential oil with a carrier oil or lotion, and then rubbing it on to the skin.
While aromatic use allows users to enjoy essential oils through the air, and flavouring use consists of consuming essential oils, topical application is a simple way to experience the power of essential oils— providing significant benefits for the skin and entire body.
You can read more about the topical use of essential oils in doTERRA’s Topical Use of Essential Oils eBook.
3. Flavouring use
Cooking with essential oils is a fun, simple way to make creative meals, or to make your favourite meals a bit more interesting.
How you use essential oils for cooking will depend on your own personal taste, what kind of food you are making, and which oil you are using.
By following a few simple guidelines*, you can easily enjoy the benefits of cooking with essential oils.
* Not all essential oils can be used this way. Please check the label of your essential oil to ensure it is suitable for flavouring use.
You can read more about the topical use of essential oils in doTERRA’s Cooking With Essential Oils eBook.
Essential Oil Benefits
There are many ways essential oils can support you and your neurodiverse home. When discussing the benefits of individual essential oils, I find it helpful to categorise them by the type of benefits they offer.
✅ Health and wellness
Essential oils traditionally used in herbal medicine to maintain and support general health and wellbeing.
✅ Calming and Grounding
Essential oils that exhibit calming and grounding properties.
✅ Rest and Relaxation
Essential oils known to support a good night’s sleep.
✅ Soothing and Beautifying
Essential oils that are soothing and beautifying to the skin, hair and teeth.
✅ Staying Focussed
Essential oils that invigorate your mind and restore your focus.
✅ Low-Tox Cleaning
Essential oils with natural cleansing and purifying properties.
✅ Mood Management
Essential oils that may reduce uneasy feelings, energise and uplift, or promote a positive outlook.
CHAPTER TWO – How Essential Oils Support Neurodivergent People
The essential oil support categories for neurodiversity
The first question most people have when they hear the idea of using essential oils in their neurodiverse home is “How are essential oils going to help me?”
This is a very broad question, as there are hundreds of essential oils and essential oil blends all with the potential to help people in different ways.
So every time I see an article titled ‘Essential Oils for Autism’ or ‘Essential Oils for ADHD’ I inwardly cringe because, unfortunately, it’s just not that simple.
In the previous chapter we learnt about the benefits of essential oils and the seven ‘support categories’ I created to classify essential oils according to the support they offer.
I created these support categories to give you a better idea about what benefits you should expect when using essential oils in your neurodiverse home.
Out of these seven categories I believe there are four key essential oil support categories for neurodiversity based on several key supports neurodivergent people often seek.
They are:
✅ Calming and Grounding
Essential oils that exhibit calming and grounding properties.
✅ Rest and Relaxation
Essential oils known to support a good night’s sleep.
✅ Mood Management
Essential oils that may reduce uneasy feelings, energise and uplift, or promote a positive outlook.
✅ Staying Focussed
Essential oils that invigorate your mind and restore your focus.
You will see these categories displayed throughout this guide to help you identify the essential oils and blends that will offer you the best support for your neurodiverse home.
Any essential oil or blends may belong to one or more category and there are even essential oils I like to call ‘super supports’ because they offer support from all four categories.
How do essential oils support the body?
An essential oil’s supportive benefits are the result of a number of factors including its chemical composition. By their chemical make-up, we can classify essential oils as having either calming or uplifting effects on the body.
Each essential oil group has specific constituent profiles known to elicit distinct emotional responses.
Floral essential oils are composed primarily of monoterpene alcohols, which exhibit toning and calming properties.
Tree, herb, and grass essential oils are rich in sesquiterpenes, esters, and oxides, which are grounding, soothing, and renewing.
Mint essential oils have high concentrations of ketones, which are energizing and uplifting.
Citrus oils are generally composed of limonene and beta-pinene, monoterpenes with strong uplifting characteristics.
Phenols, the primary chemical constituents of many spice essential oils, are recognized for their warming properties.
These properties and characteristics enable essential oils to offer excellent support with:
- the calming and grounding of emotions
- resting, relaxing and getting a good night’s sleep
- maintaining a positive mood and attitude
- restoring and maintaining focus.
Consider using essential oils in your neurodiverse home if your or your child’s challenges fall into any of these categories.
If you want to delve into the nitty-gritty science of essential oils then consider reading the doTERRA Essential Oils Chemistry Handbook.
Now that you know the four key support categories of essential oils for neurodiversity, let’s take a look which essential oils belong to which categories.
CHAPTER THREE – The Essential Oils to Use and Why

CHAPTER FOUR – Easy Places on the Body to Apply Essential Oils to Neurodiverse Children
There is a lot of adamant advice out there about where certain essential oils or blends should be applied, and I often see parents overwhelmed or discouraged when their child’s sensitivities prevent topical application in these areas.
As a parent to a neurodiverse child you are no doubt well aware that your child may be sensitive to touch and smell. These two senses are paramount in the topical use of essential oils.
Please don’t let your child’s sensitivities in these areas dissuade you from giving them a go.
Below I have listed easy places to apply oils to your child along with suggested essential oils to use in these locations.
I want to emphasise that these are suggestions only, and if your child is averse to having essential oils applied in a certain location, then there is no harm in trying a different location.
I have listed multiple suggestions for each essential oil and blend to give you plenty of options.
How to Safely Apply Essential Oils
But before we begin, let’s talk safety!
ALWAYS dilute essential oils for children. Dilute further for especially sensitive children if necessary. Here is the dilution guide I use.
How to Dilute Essential Oils.
Bowl Method: Use a small ceramic or glass bowl. Place 1 teaspoon of carrier oil (e.g Fractionated Coconut Oil) in the bowl. Add the required drops of essential oil as per the dilution chart. Use finger to mix oils and then apply to the selected place on the body. Rub into skin if necessary.
Roller Bottle Method: Remove lid and roller ball insert (if you find this difficult, try using an essential oil bottle key). Add required drops of essential oil as per the dilution chart. Fill remainder of the bottle with a carrier oil (e.g Fractionated Coconut Oil). Replace the roller ball insert (again, an essential oil key may help you here) and lid, then shake well for 30 seconds. To use, remove lid and roll along the skin to apply a layer of oil to the selected place on the body. Rub into skin if necessary.
Photosensitivity
Some essential oils (mainly citrus) increase the skin’s photosensitivity. Avoid exposing places on your body that have absorbed these essential oils to prolonged direct sunlight for up to 12 hours after application. I have marked these essential oils and blends with an ‘*’.
Easy Places to Apply Essential Oils
The following is a list of easy places on the body to apply essential oils as well as suggestions for essential oils to use in these areas. Consider each location and determine if it is a place your child would be open to trying. Trust yourself. No one knows your child like you do.
Forehead
Using the bowl or roller bottle method, apply along the length of the forehead. Be careful not to get any oil into your child’s eyes.
Applying essential oils to your forehead can help ease feelings of tension.
Suggested Essential Oils
Copaiba or Melissa
Suggested doTERRA Essential Oil Blends
- Adaptiv (Tranquil Blend)
- Lavender Peace (Restful Blend)
- AromaTouch* (Massage Blend)
Back of the Neck
Using the bowl or roller bottle method, apply to the back of the neck as well as around under the ears.
Applying essential oils to the back of the neck gives you quick access to the Vegas Nerve. Apply here when you need mental clarity or to relieve tension.
Suggested Essential Oils
Melissa, Vetiver, Neroli, Bergamot*, Marjoram, Ylang Ylang, Cedarwood, Frankincense or Lavender
Suggested doTERRA Essential Oil Blends
- Adaptiv (Tranquil Blend)
- Lavender Peace (Restful Blend)
- Peace (Reassuring Blend)
- AromaTouch* (Massage Blend)
- InTune* (Focus Blend)
- Balance (Grounding Blend)
- DDR Prime* (Cellular Complex Blend)
Down the Spine
Using the bowl or roller bottle method, apply to the spine in a downwards motion. Applying essential oils down the spine allows for quick access to the brain. Apply here when you need mental clarity or for a soothing massage after a long day to promote relaxation.
Suggested Essential Oils
Frankincense, Bergamot*, Vetiver, Copaiba or Lavender
Suggested doTERRA Essential Oil Blends
- AromaTouch* (Massage Blend)
- InTune* (Focus Blend)
- DDR Prime* (Cellular Complex Blend)
- Adaptiv (Tranquil Blend)
Chest or Over the Heart
Using the bowl or roller bottle method, apply to the sternum. Apply essential oils on the chest/over the heart area when dealing with heartache and disappointment and to assist with clear breathing.
Suggested Essential Oils
Melissa, Bergamot*, Copaiba, Neroli or Lavender
Suggested doTERRA Essential Oil Blends
- Elevation* (Joyful Blend)
- Console (Comforting Blend)
Bottoms of Feet
Using the bowl or roller bottle method, apply to the bottom of each foot. Be sure to include the bottom of each big toe also.
Applying essential oils to the bottom of the feet is particularly useful for children sensitive to smell. You can mask the scent of strong-smelling oils simply by putting on a pair of socks after application. Therefore it is a good place to apply essential oils on children when trying essential oils for the first time. Pores on the bottom of feet are thicker than other pores on the body, allowing essential oils to be absorbed quickly. Most oils can be applied on the bottom of the feet. Also apply citrus oils on bottom of feet, if going in the sun.
Suggested Essential Oils
Lavender, Frankincense, Vetiver, Bergamot*, Marjoram, Cedarwood, Neroli, Ylang Ylang or Copaiba
Suggested doTERRA Essential Oil Blends
- DDR Prime* (Cellular Complex Blend)
- Adaptiv (Tranquil Blend)
- Lavender Peace (Restful Blend)
- Balance (Grounding Blend)
- Peace (Reasurring Blend)
- InTune* (Focus Blend)
Inside Wrist Creases
Using the bowl or roller bottle method, apply to the inside of one wrist, then rub together with the other wrist.
Applying essential oils to the wrists is an easy and accessible location, which also allows for the added benefit of inhaling the essential oils by bringing your wrist up to your nose. Many blood vessels run through the wrists allowing easy access to the heart and lungs. Oils move quickly to the chest, to open the chest and feel lighter. Massage essential oils on wrists to uplift mood and increase focus.
Suggested Essential Oils
Lavender, Neroli, Frankincense or Bergamot*
Suggested doTERRA Essential Oil Blends
- InTune* (Focus Blend)
- Balance (Grounding Blend)
- Elevation* (Joyful Blend)
- Console (Comforting Blend)
- Adaptiv (Tranquil Blend)
Inside Forearms and Crease of Elbow
Using the bowl or roller bottle method, apply to the length of the forearm and to the inside crease of the elbow. There are many veins close to the surface inside the forearm. Applying essential oils up and down the inside of your forearms allows oils to rapidly enter the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body. This is the best location for instant change to your emotional state. Massage essential oils into your arms to promote relaxation.
Suggested Essential Oils
Lavender, Frankincense or Cedarwood
Suggested doTERRA Essential Oil Blends
- Balance (Grounding Blend)
- AromaTouch* (Massage Blend)
The Whole Body
To experience a whole body topical application, add essential oils to your bath water.
As usual dilution is required because essential oils are not water soluble. If you use them neat they will sit on top of the water and may cause skin irritations.
Mix essential oils with a carrier oil, (such as Fractionated Coconut Oil) before adding to the bath, or alternatively you can try them in these essential oil DIY projects for a truly fun essential oil bath experience.
