This blend is an amazing calming, grounding, emotionally supportive blend that can assist in mood management, balancing the nervous system, assisting with sleep and we have received amazing testimonials from adults and children alike. I fend it helpful when I am feeling anxious, when I am overwhelmed and my son’s behaviour is very different when I use this on him before school, applied over the heart chakra, you can read more about his routine before school in this post.
This blend was originally created by a mother in the US to help her son with various behavioural challenges.
It’s important to use high quality, pure and potent oils to make this blend, you will not achieve the same results with low quality oils and synthetic oils will most likely cause damage. I use and recommend doTERRA.
Here is the how you can blend your own.
Get a 10ml glass roller bottle like this one.
Add
28 drops Vetiver
10 drops Ylang Ylang
6 drops Frankincense
5 drops Clary Sage
3 drops Marjoram
10 drops Lavender
You could do a less concentrated version as follows or dilute even further for younger children if you find it too strong, I use the above dilution for myself and the below for my kids.
14 drops Vetiver
5 drops Ylang Ylang
3 drops Frankincense
2 drops Clary Sage
1 drop Marjoram
5 drops Lavender
Fill the remaining space of the roller bottle with doTERRA fractionated coconut oil.
Directions: shake before each use, then roll a small amount to the bottom of each foot and over the heart before bedtime and first thing in the morning. If the child is having a really difficult time, also apply to the back of the neck on either side of the spine. Repeat mid-day, if necessary. To help with sleep, the peaceful blend may also be applied to the insides of the wrist or under the nose so that the vapors can be inhaled while resting (place hands up by the face).
I also use the Mood Management Oils– in particular Balance when I am feeling anxious and to ‘ground’ me and Serenity to assist both me and my children with getting and staying asleep easily. I also use Frankincense which I find exceptionally helpful. The InTune focus blend is also truly amazing for school, homework or work and I also love uplifting oils like Citrus Bliss when I am feeling down.
All of the oils needed for this blend are now available from the Australian warehouse.
