Let’s face it, if you’re a MOM, you’re working.

Whether you leave the house to go to work, roll over to a laptop, or spend the day refereeing toddlers, cleaning house, planning meals, and reheating coffee. Mama’s be working!

And frankly, when you’re on the clock around the clock, it’s difficult to find downtime, a moment to ground yourself, relax and regain your balance–before it’s time to tackle the next task.

Lately I’ve been paying more attention to my health and wellness and emotional balance, for my own longevity and my family’s happiness. Essential oils have become part of my routine, from morning to bedtime, helping me manage stress, relieve symptoms of anxiety, female hormonal support, and my overall health and wellness.

I use Young Living’s Essential Oils because of their potency and the company’s Seed to Seal promise– their guarantee of purity in every product. To learn more about these essential oils, please join my 20-minute webinar on Friday, April 13 at 7:30pm ET: Working Mom Solutions: Essential Oils for Emotional Balance, Stress Relief and Anxiety

Here are my top 7 Essential Oils for emotional balance, stress relief and overall wellness:

Lavender 

Do you have tense stand-offs with toddlers who insist on peeing on the floor rather than the potty?

Are you trying to pump breastmilk in a cramped, stinky bathroom stall at work during a 15-minute break?

A few drops of lavender on your wrist or in your home diffuser can take the edge off a bad situation in seconds. Directions: Apply a few drops to your wrist or about 4 drops in your home diffuser. INHALE DEEPLY.

 

Peace & Calming

I use this sweet, fragrant blend of oils as a roller ball in my pocket oils case, so it’s always handy. Directions: I apply it as a roller ball behind the ears, the back of my neck and along my collarbone as a fragrance or to promote feelings of tranquility. In the evenings, diffuse about three drops to encourage a peaceful transition from dinner to bedtime.

 

Stress Away

This one is best used as a roller ball also so it’s always handy for stressful situations. It’s sweet, complex scent is just what the therapist ordered; dab it behind your ears, on your temples, and your wrists and inhale.

 

Frankincense

Frankincense is my go-to when I need to get stuff DONE! It’s also part of my personal blend, along with Lavender, Copaiba, and Jojoba Oil, that I apply right out of the shower every morning. Frankincense is a grounding oil that’s perfect for focus, purpose, and supports overall emotional well-being. No wonder it’s been around since ancient times

Progessence Plus

This stuff saves lives! The blend of Sacred Frankincense with Peppermint essential oils provides a calm, balance, and steady focus that is worth every penny in this bottle. So when dinner is burnt and the toddlers don’t want the leftovers and the hubby is working late and everybody is getting on your LAST GOOD NERVE, dab two drops on the back of your neck and your forearms. Add some coconut oil if you have it handy. And relax.

Dragon Time

With a blend of Fennel, Clary Sage, Lavender, and Jasmine, the aroma of Dragon Time can promote stability and calm during cycles of moodiness–THAT TIME OF THE MONTH! Apply 1-2 drops to the abdomen or the back of the neck. Another Lifesaver!

 

 

 

 

Sclaressence Vitality

Sclaressence Vitality uses a powerful blend of oils that are known to support female hormonal balance, including Sage, Fennel and Peppermint. I rub a few drops of this with coconut oil on my lower back or add a few drops to my tea in the evenings and right before bedtime. It’s another blend with powerful ingredients that can provide options as you work to take back your life from stress, anxiety, and regain balance.
