The Peace and Calming blend by Young Living is one of the most popular essential oil blends on the market. This can make it difficult to get your hands on at times since it often sells out or goes out of stock for long periods due to the rare blue tansy oil included in this blend.
The blue tansy is a core ingredient that enhances this blend’s amazing balancing properties. The thing is, it’s a seasonal crop that requires very special conditions to produce high-quality blue tansy essential oil. This is why availability can be a bit limited and one of the main reasons why Peace and Calming goes out of stock so quickly!
So, what can we do when we’ve run out of this emotionally supportive blend? You whip up a batch of your own to hold you over!

This blend encourages relaxation and a deep, almost meditative sense of ease, calm, and well-being. This helps alleviate feelings of tension and uplifts everyday emotional burdens.

There are a number of ways to use Peace and Calming essential oil.
Some of the best ways to use it include:
Making a Roll-On
Add 2-4 drops of master blend to a 10ml roll-on bottle and top it off with your favorite carrier oil.
Cap it closed and roll the bottle between your palms to mix.
Dab the blend onto wrists and the sides of the throat. Avoid direct sunlight on areas of application for at least 12 hours.
Making a Massage Oil
Add 3-6 drops of master blend to 1 TB of your favorite carrier oil. I personally enjoy apricot seed oil or sweet almond oil as a base for massage oils because of their light yet moisturizing nature.
Massage the infused oil all over your body after a luxurious bath or shower before bedtime to instill a sense of heightened relaxation and inner peace.
A massage with this blend is especially helpful when dealing with insomnia or muscular tension.
For added relaxing properties, mix peace and calming with lavender essential oil.
Diffusing in Your Home or Workspace
Add 5 drops of master blend to a diffuser in select rooms in your home to help calm the entire household.
It is especially good for calming children before bed and helps them “slow down”.
