If you’ve ever found yourself in a group of fellow moms discussing the latest parenting woes, chances are you’ve heard someone say, “There’s an oil for that.” I’ll admit, I’ve even been the one to suggest that a dab of peppermint oil might just relieve the stress of dealing with a lively toddler. And while I’m not a full-blown essential oils fanatic, I can appreciate the calming effects of lavender on a restless night.
However, there are certain essential oils that I wish were on the market. With all the advancements in science and medicine, why haven’t we created an oil to combat whining from our exhausted 2-year-olds or one that curbs little boys’ propensity to discuss their anatomy in public? Imagine how peaceful life would be!
If you’ve ever reached for your essential oil roller in hopes of easing a stomach bug or helping your child sleep better, you’re going to appreciate this list of oils that every mom secretly yearns for.
Forget-Me-Not Blend
This oil would be a lifesaver for that child who needs constant reminders to brush his teeth instead of staging a Minecraft battle. It’s the perfect remedy for the “I forgot” excuse, and for moms who might forget their sanity if they hear it one more time.
Anti-Eye-Rolling Blend
Ah, the classic resting tween face—an affliction that seems to hit kids between 10 and 13. This blend would transform your child’s expression from demonic to delightful, preventing those dreaded eye rolls whenever you dare to engage them in conversation.
“Hurry the Hell Up” Blend
This invigorating blend is designed for kids who can’t seem to get ready on time. Just apply it to the toddler who can’t find their shoes or the 7-year-old who suddenly needs to use the bathroom as you’re heading out the door. Say goodbye to tardiness!
Anti-Sunrise Blend
For the early risers who think 5 a.m. is an acceptable wake-up time, this oil is a game changer. A little dab on their pillow would keep them occupied with toys instead of making music at the crack of dawn.
Temper-Tantrum Tamer
Shopping with toddlers can be a nightmare, especially when they’re hangry. This essential oil would help quell any potential meltdowns when they see a toy they want but can’t have. Just a touch on a non-flailing limb and watch the tantrums disappear.
Mega Mood Stabilizer
Perfect for teenagers who are emotionally volatile, this blend would help them maintain their composure when you ask about homework. It may even reduce sassiness, allowing you to remember why you love them.
“Open Your Eyes” Blend
For kids and partners who can never find their stuff, this essential oil would be a miracle worker. Just a dab on the temples, and suddenly they’re capable of locating their belongings without your assistance.
“Do It Anyway” Blend
This oil would make chores a breeze. A sprinkle on dinner would ensure your kids eat what’s in front of them, and frequent diffusion would encourage them to clean their rooms without protest. You’ll feel like a Jedi, effortlessly guiding their actions!
Pre-Baby Body Blend
For those moms longing for their pre-baby bodies and minds, this oil would do wonders. It would help restore your figure and bring back a sense of calmness, transporting you to a moment of pre-baby tranquility.
Reasonable and Rational Blend
This all-encompassing blend would help maintain peace among siblings. Diffusing it would encourage cooperation and understanding, reminding them that snatching toys is not acceptable behavior.
Bullseye Blend
Ideal for family members with poor aim, this blend would assist in getting dirty clothes into the hamper and dirty dishes into the dishwasher. Combine it with the “Open Your Eyes” blend for a smoothly running household.
While essential oils are intended to alleviate stress and promote well-being, what we really desire is a sprinkle of sanity and a dash of peace. If they ever create oils for that, count me in!
