e3’s Be Calm Blend — Soothe Away Feelings of Overwhelm

Upset, cranky, over-tired, wound up, or overstimulated… Bottling these feelings up on the inside doesn’t seem to help — your head starts to pound, or your stomach hurts. Sometimes life just feels like a bit too much to handle (we get it!). Thankfully, the synergy of essential oils in e3’s Be Calm Blend is a light and gentle way to soothe away the sense of overwhelm and help us feel like ourselves again.

This sweet, slightly fruity blend is also a favorite of parents and teachers when they’re dealing with an overstimulated child. It reinforces a sense of calm and security for little ones so they can reset and move into a healthier space.

See below for fun ways to use this blend to help your child (or yourself!) feel more calm and centered. This blend was originally called Child Harmony, but we realized adults sometimes have oversized feelings too. 🙂

Quickly and evenly spread the essential oil over your legs, arms, and torso. Avoid sensitive skin areas. For maximum skin hydration and to seal in moisture, apply cream, lotion, or body oil directly to damp skin.

Set aside. If you have muscle aches, add 1-2 cups Epsom or Dead sea salts. Fill the tub with warm water and immerse yourself. Add the essential oil mixture and swirl the water around you. Massage your skin and breathe in the aroma. Remain in the tub for 10-15 minutes.

Bath, Foot: Mix 1-3 drops of Be Calm Blend in 1/2 teaspoon of carrier oil, such as fractionated coconut oil. Set aside. Fill a tub (deep enough to cover your feet and ankles) with warm water.
