How Do Essential Oils Work to Calm the Mind and Ease Stress?

The aroma of essential oils affects the limbic system of the brain, which is the part that controls memories and emotions. We can literally calm anxious, worrying thoughts, and help to change negative thoughts into positive ones.

Learn About Peace and Calming

Peace and Calming is a gentle, sweet blend of Ylang Ylang, Orange, Tangerine, Patchouli, and Blue Tansy. This fragrant oil is a wonderful addition to your meditation, evening routine, or playtime with the kids. It creates a relaxing environment that’s especially great for homes with children. You’ll love that you can use this oil for your children’s bedtime and then for yourself for a moment of quiet after the house has settled down.

I love to diffuse this oil as well as the aroma is SO satisfying! I also use it in a roller bottle – see all of my roller bottle recipes here.

Learn About Frankincense

Frankincense is an amazing oil – we like to say if it was good enough for Jesus, then…well, you know! It's good enough for us. It is a rich, woodsy oil that is very high in a chemical compound called sesquiterpenes that are able to cross the blood-brain barrier and help the brain.

Frankincense is also wonderful for the skin – use it in your face lotion and soap to help smooth wrinkles and soothe blemishes.

Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

  • Put the pinch of salt in the bottom of the spray bottle
  • Add the essential oils
  • Add the water
  • So easy a baby can do it!
  • Spray into the air to calm the atmosphere. Works great in cars on long trips, and in the bedroom to spray next to your bed. It is safe to use around children and babies. You can spray it on dark linens and clothes – there is a blue tint from the Blue Tansy in the Peace and Calming oil and that will stain. Choose a different oil if you'd like to use it on all fabrics.

How to Use this Calm Essential Oil Spray

Just spray into the air when you need to freaking calm down (LOL) and then take a few deep, cleansing breaths! It's also super effective for children! It also works great to spray on pillows and blankets, but the Peace and Calming does have a bluish tint, so be careful when it comes to using it on light fabrics as it could stain.

Another idea would be to just diffuse these oils, which is super dee duper easy!
