This great information is from my upline Shauna Dastrup.

Living’s Doug Corrigan and Karen Boren are product specialists, sharing
information that will teach us the many ways Essential Oils can enrich
our lives.
A distributor takes a moment
to relax and recharge with
Peace & Calming at a
Convention Product Expo.
KAREN:
We talked earlier about a study that shows how the scents of Lavender
and Orange diffused in a dental office actually calmed people down
before their dental work was done.
DOUG: When I think of Orange, I think of what a great blend we are going to talk about today—Peace and Calming,
which has a couple of citrus oils, Tangerine and Orange. It’s a blend
that we use a lot in our house. What I love is that it has a combination
of a couple of other more base-note type oils that are mixed with the
citrus oils of Tangerine and Orange, from which we get a lot of the
uplifting type of scent but not uplifting to the point where it causes
us to feel anxious. Quite the opposite, it’s uplifting to where we are
calm and feel that our minds are clearer.
KAREN:
I have a friend who witnessed a child having a “meltdown” on a plane
and very quickly asked the mother if some oil could be applied to the
child’s feet. The mother at that point was certainly willing—I think she
would have done anything! So she accepted having Peace & Calming
put on the little one’s feet, and the child settled down and was
peaceful for the rest of the flight.
DOUG:
I know that on long road trips or anytime we’re in close quarters with
the kids, Peace & Calming is something that we’re constantly
diffusing, rubbing on the soles of their feet, and seeing that we get
great results. I think some of that response is due to the citrus, but
the other part of that response is because of the Ylang Ylang. What are some of the interesting studies with ylang ylang, Patchouli, Blue Tansy, and other oils found in Peace & Calming?
KAREN: In the interest of time, I’ll just share one study in the journal Planta Medica,
where they found that volunteers who applied Ylang Ylang essential oil
to the skin were calmer and more relaxed than those who were in the
control group. But there was also an increase in attentiveness and
alertness. The study said that the effects could be characterized as
“harmonization.” The people were calm but alert and not sedated. Gary
Young has truly captured Peace & Calming in a bottle!
***Peace
& Calming® is a gentle, fragrant blend. When diffused, it helps
calm tensions and uplifts the spirit, promoting relaxation and a deep
sense of peace. When massaged on the bottoms of the feet, it can be a
wonderful prelude to a peaceful night's rest. Peace & Calming may be
especially calming and comforting to young children after an overactive
and stressful day.***
Peppermint
Refreshing Peppermint oil is helpful for
increasing mental clarity and for easing
digestive disorders.
KAREN: Peppermint is
such a fabulous oil. I use it for a number of things. But I was really
excited to read one of the studies on Peppermint, to learn about the
increased mental clarity that it gave people. It significantly helped
women who were proofreaders so that they were able to spot misspellings.
(Interestingly, Lavender was
the scent that produced the greatest effects for proofreading in
males.) Peppermint also improved performance for participants during
typing, memorization, and alphabetizing tests.
KAREN:
Peppermint is multifaceted. Anyone who gets to that certain age where
joints start creaking a bit will find that that Peppermint on the knees
is just bliss! I love Balsam Fir for that as well but Peppermint is
really the one that has worked on my knees. I think this is a key point
for people to know, that oils impact us all a little bit differently. We
need to find the ones that work best for us, and like you, I’ve
experimented and found out which ones are helpful for me and my body
chemistry.
