If you’ve ever found yourself among a group of moms sharing their latest parenting woes, you’ve likely heard someone say, “There’s an oil for that.” I must confess, I’ve been that person suggesting a dab of peppermint oil for a tension headache caused by a restless toddler. While I’m not an essential oil fanatic, I can appreciate how a hint of lavender on your pillow can create a calming atmosphere.
However, there are some essential oils I really wish were available. With all the advancements in modern medicine, why haven’t we developed an anti-whining oil for the perpetually cranky two-year-old or a blend to prevent little boys from discussing their anatomy in public? Wouldn’t that be a game-changer?
If you’ve ever wished for a magic roller bottle to fend off a stomach bug or ensure a peaceful night for your child, you’ll appreciate this curated list of essential oils that moms secretly yearn for.
Forget-Me-Not Blend
This blend would be perfect for your child who needs constant reminders to complete tasks, like brushing their teeth instead of staging a Minecraft reenactment. It’s designed for both forgetful kids and the moms who sometimes wonder if they’ll forget their sanity.
Anti-Eye-Rolling Blend
Once your child hits the tween years, eye-rolling becomes an art form. This blend would help keep their expressions light and pleasant, reducing the chances of those classic teenage sighs and scowls.
The “Hurry Up” Blend
For those kids who seem to need an eternity to get ready, this refreshing oil would be a lifesaver. Just a dab on the toddler who can’t find their missing shoe, or the seven-year-old who suddenly needs to use the bathroom as you’re heading out, and you’ll arrive on time for a change.
Anti-Sunrise Blend
Ideal for the early risers who believe 5 a.m. is an acceptable wake-up time, this oil would help your little one enjoy a few more hours of sleep and keep them entertained quietly until you’re ready to wake up.
Temper-Tantrum Tamer
This essential oil would empower you to shop in peace, even with a fussy toddler in tow. A quick application would help temper those inevitable meltdowns when faced with the latest toy in the store.
Mega Mood Stabilizer
A blend designed for teenagers, this oil would work wonders in diffusing the drama of adolescence. Use it discreetly to ensure that your teen remains calm and agreeable when you inquire about their homework.
“Open Your Eyes” Blend
This oil would be a game-changer for family members who can’t locate their belongings. A quick application would help them realize that their lost items are often right in front of them, eliminating the need for your constant assistance.
“Do It Anyway” Blend
Perfect for those reluctant to complete everyday tasks, this oil would encourage compliance without the usual arguments. Just a drop could transform mealtime complaints or cleaning resistance into cooperative actions.
Pre-Baby Body Blend
For those looking to reclaim their pre-baby physique, this oil would restore your figure and mental clarity. A quick application would bring you back to a more balanced state.
Reasonable and Rational Blend
This all-purpose oil would help foster harmony among siblings, reducing conflicts and encouraging cooperation during shared activities. Just a whiff could remind them why sharing is important.
Bullseye Blend
This robust oil would assist family members in hitting their targets—whether it’s getting clothes in the hamper or toys back in their place. Pair it with the “Open Your Eyes” blend for optimal results.
Essential oils are often celebrated for their ability to enhance mood and promote wellness. However, what most moms truly seek is a return to their sanity and some much-needed tranquility. When these oils are finally created, count me in!
