oil spotlight: peace & calming

Peace & Calming is one of Young Living’s most popular essential oil blends, made up of tangerine, orange, ylang ylang, patchouli, and blue tansy. 

My favorite way to use Peace & Calming is to diffuse it while I’m sleeping. I combine 2-3 drops P&C with 4-5 drops of lavender, and it is heavenly. The first time I diffused it, I was amazed at how quickly I fell asleep and how well-rested I felt the next morning. I woke up in the same position in which I fell asleep, telling me that I didn’t toss and turn in my chronic sort of way. As an added bonus, I've noticed that Lola (my fur baby) also sleeps through the night better when this is diffusing - I know because when she wakes up and shakes around, I usually wake up too!

For these reasons alone, I always keep Peace & Calming in stock in my home. But of course, as with all of these wonderful oils, the blend can be used in many ways.

How to use Peace & Calming:
​

• Apply neat (directly on the skin) for adults.
• Apply diluted with a carrier oil such as coconut oil or olive oil for children.
• Diffuse for aromatic benefits.
