Calming Anxiety with Essential Oils

Calming Essential Oils

Essential oils cut through anxiety more effectively than any other method, delivering calm and peace instantly.

Watch this short video to discover how simple and effective essential oils are for calming down.

How essential oils work

Essential oils can help calm kids by working directly with the brain’s limbic system, which controls emotions and stress. When your child inhales the oils, they send signals to the brain, quickly promoting calm and relaxation.

Essential oils contain natural compounds that reduce stress hormones, making them perfect for soothing anxious or upset kids. When applied to the skin, these oils are absorbed, boosting their calming effects even more. This makes essential oils a fast and effective way for parents to bring peace to their children during stressful moments like anxiety and panic attacks.

Best oils for calming anxious kids

The following oils are incredibly effective for inducing calm and peace:

Essential oils have been proven to be effective

Research has shown the calming benefits of essential oils, particularly in children. A study on lavender essential oil found that it significantly reduced anxiety levels in children before medical procedures.

Another study highlighted the calming effects of a blend of chamomile and lavender, which helped improve sleep quality in kids. These oils are also known to lower heart rates and cortisol levels, key indicators of stress.

The science supports what many parents already know – essential oils can be a simple, natural way to calm children and ease their feelings of panic in everyday situations.

Diffuse or Use Topically

For topical use, dilute essential oils with a carrier oil and apply to safe areas like the soles of the feet, back of the neck, or wrists for fast absorption and calming effects.

Roller bottles offer a convenient, portable option, making it easy to apply calming oils on the go during stressful situations like school drop-offs or public outings.

Aromatic use involves diffusing the oils into the air, allowing your child to inhale the soothing aroma, which quickly signals the brain to relax.

Both methods are gentle and effective, providing natural emotional support during stressful moments.

All about doTERRA

Founded in 2008, doTERRA was created with the mission of sharing the benefits of essential oils with the world. A group of health-care and business professionals, inspired by the incredible effects they had seen, decided to make essential oils accessible to everyone. They named the company doTERRA, meaning “Gift of the Earth” in Latin.

The first challenge was setting a new standard for essential oils in an industry that lacked one. This commitment led to the development of CPTG (Certified Pure Tested Grade), ensuring the highest quality oils for every household.

To achieve this vision, doTERRA needed a team driven by hard work, passion, and dedication. While the team has grown, the mission remains the same—offering safe, high-quality essential oils for everyone, from beginners to experts, and families everywhere.

Understanding the value of personal connection, doTERRA uses a direct selling model to ensure that customers receive individual guidance and education about essential oils. This personalised approach allows distributors to build trust while helping families experience the oils’ benefits firsthand. Over 2 million Wellness Advocates worldwide have embraced this model, not only sharing the oils but also achieving their own financial independence in the process.

Well, as a scientist who has studied essential oils for more than 15 years and as a mama to four amazing kids, let me tell you that doTERRA’s products can be wonderful for children. We enjoy them daily in our house. we live doTERRA in my house. It’s fun to see my children starting to understand which oils might be good in various situations and asking for them as needed. They’re learning to be cognizant of their own health while actively looking for natural ways to support well-being. I love it!
