I started by applying Vetiver on his chest and back of neck (mostly because I forgot to put it on the bottom of his feet before I got his socks and shoes on). Monday - he didn't go to school because he had speech therapy and ABA therapy that day. His ST commented that he was more verbal than usual. But he totally lacked any focus whatsoever in that session and was bouncing off the walls ......
So Tuesday, again just the Vetiver on his chest and back of the neck. He sat really calmly at breakfast (at school). I really noticed a difference... and then he bolted - ha...
Wednesday, didn't notice much of a difference.
Thursday, I couldn't find the bottle of Vetiver. Grr.
Still missing on Friday....
Found it finally on Sunday! Yay.
So, started over with the new week. Monday, applied the Vetiver along with a little Lavender, again to the chest and back. School didn't mention anything, but his ABA therapist mentioned how well he did in his afternoon session.
Tuesday, again with the Vetiver and Lavender on his feet (yay, I remembered before I put on his socks!) and chest. He did ok at breakfast not trying to bolt, but did want to move his tray around - kept sliding it down the table until he was sitting at the end spot. When I picked him up, his teacher said she was amazed at his compliance today! He did very well at taking turns, AND went and sat in his seat between turns 3 times in a row without prompting. This is huge for him. Oils or coincidence? Not sure yet.
I am going to add Ylang Ylang starting next Monday to see if we get more of a difference then. Stay tuned
