Got the Grumps?

Try rubbing Peace and Calming on the bottom of your feet before bed or during stressful moments. When my youngest son was little, he liked to come into my room every evening, jump up on my bed, and put his feet in the air. “I’m ready for my peace and calming!” he would squeal!

He loved it then, and he loves it now; and he knows that, along with praying with Daddy before bed time, the oils help him drift off to sleep, comforted and soothed. And his room smells so relaxing! relaxation spa set with candles, essential oils, towel, pebbles

My daughters love the calming scent of essential oils when things are hectic or emotions are running high, especially during special times of the month. My personal favorite is vetiver, but I’ve listed other favorites at the bottom of this page.

Good ways to apply oils for this purpose are to massage into the bottoms of the feet, diffuse into the air, rub into temples, or place a drop around the edge of your mattress before bed. You can also fill a 2 oz. glass spray bottle with water and 20 drops of your favorite oil, and mist the room, sheets, pillows, and carpet before bed.

Other calming oils:

Cedarwood

Frankincense

Lavender

Spikenard

Present Time

Sandalwood

RutaVala

Make your own pillow spray by adding to a squirt bottle:

  • 2 oz.  – vodka (you can use filtered water, but alcohol dries faster when sprayed)
  • 15-20 drops  of the essential oil of your choice
  • 1-2 drops myrrh
