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! 
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

hmmm..I wonder if it would be relaxing during contractions and labor pains?
We are loving the Peace and Calming! When we first used it on my daughter, she was super hyped that day, and was running all over the place. We put some on her feet, and within a minute she was calm! She is sleeping great too, and she is actually asking me for the oils! Wow! I can’t wait to get my diffuser and try that too. I think it will be even more helpful.
Actually, yes. Most definitely. My daughter used Peace and Calming during her labor, and I noticed during a birth I attended a little over a year ago that the midwife brought with her Peace and Calming, along with a few other oils.
