11 Amazing Uses of Peace & Calming Essential Oil
I’m so excited to share about one of my favorite essential oils with you today! When I first opened my starter kit and started smelling each one, I wasn’t in love with this one. Little did I know I would come to love the scent and use it every single day!
Which oil am I talking about? The wonderful Peace & Calming, of course. This popular oil blend contains tangerine, orange, ylang ylang, patchouli and blue tansy. The earthy smell is fabulous and it helps me get a good night’s sleep every night.
You see, I’m a fairly light sleeper and can be woken up easily. This is kind of good since I have a young daughter and often-times she cries in the middle of the night and I need to go see what is the matter.
But there were many times when I would struggle to get to sleep (too much screen time, probably, or too many things on my to-do list) or found it hard to fall back to sleep when I had been woken up. Now, I roll a little bit of Peace & Calming on my feet every night before I go to bed and I sleep like a rock.
I go to sleep quickly, fall back to sleep easily and am not woken up by every little sound (aka my husband getting up early and getting ready in the morning). I DO still hear my daughter when she cries out, which is good. 🙂
Peace & Calming according to the Young Living Web site:
Peace & Calming® is a gentle, fragrant blend. When diffused, it helps calm tensions and uplift the spirit, promoting relaxation and a deep sense of peace. When massaged on the bottoms of the feet, it can be a wonderful prelude to a peaceful night’s rest. Peace & Calming may be especially calming and comforting to young children after an overactive and stressful day.
I love how this oil is safe for children – and pets!
The many uses of Peace & Calming:
- Rub 1-2 drops on the bottom of the feet and on the back of the neck before bedtime to promote sound sleep. I do this every night! {And can be used with children – hint, hint.) 🙂
- Apply behind the ears of your pet when he is scared of thunder or stressed.
- Dilute a drop with carrier oil and rub on a child’s tummy or bottom of feet to calm a tantrum.
- Diffuse 4-6 drops at night to relieve teeth grinding.
- Add 5-8 drops to a half a cup of epsom salt and add to a bath for a calm and relaxing effect.
- Diffuse in the home or in the car to calm overactive children.
- Use as perfume by rubbing on the wrists and behind the ears, especially before a stressful meeting or event.
- Add to coconut oil for a relaxing massage and relief from daily stress.
- Rub on the back and behind the ears of hyperactive pets after running around with the children.
- Apply to the wrists, edge of ears, neck and bottoms of feet to calm an anxiety or panic attack.

RELAX
With starting college, starting a job, and planning my move to Florida, my mind is constantly racing, and it is hard to fall asleep. Frankly, it is hard to keep my jitters down because my mind is constantly running. With the Peace & Calming oil, I will let it work it’s magic and help me get a good night’s sleep. I have been exhausted lately, all because my mind doesn’t quit. That can be a good thing, or a bad thing. 🙂

Peace & Calming is all these things and more. It is wonderful to use when driving; especially when tired or when you know you will be in heavy, stressful traffic or on the freeways. Better than a tonic for the nerves, n’est ce pas?
