Peace and Calming

Leave a reply

The name for this essential oil is perfect…  not only does this really help you to calm down, but when diffused it creates a peaceful atmosphere.   If you have some kids that are acting a little crazy (um…which is usually in my house on a daily basis) ….try diffusing some Peace and Calming oil and watch them settle down!

Peace and Calming is a blend of  five essential oils that include:

Ylang Ylang–  increases relaxation and can balance male and female energies

Patchouli–  it provides general support for health and helps release negative emotions

Tangerine– contains esters and aldehydes that are sedating and calming, helping with anxiety and nervousness.

Orange-  elevating for the mind and can bring feelings of joy and peace

Blue Tansy– is an anti-inflammatory and helps combat negative emotions like anger

**Since this contains Tangerine and Orange EO-  you want to avoid putting this on exposed skin and going into direct sunlight for at least 12 hours.  **

The amazing thing about essential oils is that they not only address physical symptoms, but emotional as well…

“When we inhale the fragrance of an essential oil, the odor molecules travel up the nose where they’re registered by the nerves of the olfactory membranes in the nose lining. The odor molecules stimulate this lining of nerve cells and trigger electrical impulses to the olfactory bulb in the brain. The olfactory bulb then transmits the impulses to the amygdala – where emotional memories are stored – and to other parts of the limbic system of the brain.

Because the limbic system is directly connected to those parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance, essential oils can have profound physiological and psychological effects… Olfactory responses to odors induce the brain to stimulate the release of hormones and neurochemicals that in turn alter the body’s physiology and behavior.”

Peace and Calming is highly recommended for those who have ADD, ADHD and sensory disorders.  Apply to their feet  2x daily.

There are so many amazing ways to use this blend…. and not only does this work well on children and adults– but horses love this stuff!  And if you have pets that freak out during thunderstorms… you can rub this on the pads of their feet to help them relax.  If you have an overactive dog you can rub this behind their ears.

Here are 5 great ways to incorporate this delicious smelling essential oil into your daily life:

1.  Improving sleep

  You can rub a couple drops on the bottoms of your feet or shoulders to help you sleep at night…  I rub this on the bottom of my kid’s feet at night and they are out like a light!  This also helps kids who wake up a lot in the night.

My secret bedtime weapon so my kids look like this puppy… Peace and Calming and Lavender oil applied to their feet.

2.  Restless leg syndrome/leg cramps

You can rub this into your legs and calves for restless leg syndrome.

3.  Teeth grinding

You can rub this on the bottom of the feet or diffuse to help with teeth grinding.

4.  Anxiety

If you are having anxiety.. place a drop at the base of your skull.  You can also rub on your wrists and inhale.  Good for nervous tension and social anxiety as well.

5.  Calming the atmosphere

Diffuse to help overactive children.

In addition to Lavender, this oil is one of our favorites to help reduce stress…. we all need more peace and calming in our lives and this would be a great addition to help you and your family!

I felt like this blend of essential oil had to have some special attention.  It really has saved me on so many occasions.   To be honest, I really do not like the smell of this… but because this stuff works so well– I don’t care how it smells!  🙂

My first experience with this oil was a few years ago… me and my family went out to eat one night. I started feeling sick before I had even left the restaurant. We came home and my hubby started having issues too… oh dear. Well, I shall spare you all the fun details of what went on.  I remembered my Di-Gize oil and knew I needed to test it out. I put a few drops in a carrier oil and rubbed on our stomachs.’ I then added a couple drops to a clear vegetable capsule and we both took one of those as well. I think it was about 20 minutes and we both started feeling better immediately. Amazing!

This blend of oil helps with a whole array of issues… heartburn, acid reflux, food poisoning, flu, constipation, diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). What a great alternative this is—as there can be so many side effects with prescription medication. Essential oils do not have harmful side effects!

Di-Gize is a blend of eight essential oils that include:

Peppermint-  (of course- good ole’ Peppermint) soothes digestion and blocks pain

Tarragon-  helps support digestive system

Ginger–  helps digestive issues and motion sickness

Lemongrass-  anti-inflammatory

Fennel-  helps stimulate circulatory function and has analgesic properties

Juniper – helps with cleansing and detoxifying

Anise –  helps calm digestive congestion

Patchouli-  this is calming and also helps with digestive issues

**Safety precautions–  Since this contains Fennel… it is recommended that this should be avoided in pregnancy and avoid if you have epilepsy.  Also, Juniper should be avoided in pregnancy.   To be safe– children under 5 yrs. of age should not use this.  Make sure to dilute this oil.**

If you tend to have stomach issues on a regular basis, I would look into other contributing factors– possible gluten or dairy sensitivity (or both!)  I realized after many years of being in pain that I was allergic to wheat and dairy.  I feel so good since I have eliminated these things from my diet.   I would eliminate one at a time and see how you feel– not both at the same time.  Once in a while, I cheat and I end up paying for it… and I end up reaching for my Di-Gize– which always helps!

As I love the movie French Kiss, my hubby enjoys yelling this at me…..

“Spasm! Spasm!……. LACTOSE INTOLERANT!”

P.S.  Di-Gize would be a good thing to carry with you on a train– it is good for motion sickness too!

This is such a lifesaver for me when my boys are not feeling good. If they happen to get the stomach flu, I will dilute this and rub on their tummies and feet every hour or so.  It really makes a difference for them and they do tend to get over the virus more quickly.  Most of the time I will just use Peppermint on them if they have an upset tummy– but I do bring out the heavy duty Di-Gize when they need more help.

I highly recommend  this oil… it will greatly improve the stressful situations that can accompany digestive distress!

“Happy- Smile.  Sad- Frown.   Use the corresponding face for the corresponding emotion!”  Using Di-Gize will turn that frown upside down! 🙂
