Essential Oils For Motherhood: A Quick Survival Guide

It's undoubtedly one of the most rewarding roles in the world, but it's also one of the toughest jobs in existence. Motherhood is a roller coaster ride of bumps, bruises, scratches, tantrums, snuggles, play dates, laughter, tears, and everything in between. 


It's impossible to predict what may happen next when there are kids around, so moms have to be prepared to handle whatever situation may arise. This is often easier said than done, and sometimes moms have to make things up as they go along. However, there are certain things you can do help prepare you for the various situations that may present.

Building Your Survival Kit

As a mom, it's important that you build a survival kit you can use to get you through the tough situations that may present. The tools in your survival kit will adapt as your children grow, as diapers and wipes are exchanged for bandaids, emergency snacks, etc. 

No matter how old your kids are, there are certain tools that your survival kit should never be without. Essential oils are a prime example. These powerful resources offer numerous benefits that can be beneficial in practically any situation. Keep reading to learn more about the essential oils that should be kept in your mom's survival kit, courtesy of the Lime in the Coconut Specialty Compounding Pharmacy.

5 Essential Oils For Your Motherhood Survival Kit
  1. Stress Away - This mix of Cedarwood, Lavender, Vanilla, Copaiba, and Lime is relaxing and grounding.
  2. Peppermint - The refreshing and invigorating qualities of this versatile oil make it the perfect midday pick-me-up. (Warning: peppermint can have an adverse affect on milk supply and should not be used by breastfeeding mothers.)
  3. Lavender - This soft, soothing scent can be diffused, added to bathwater, or applied to kids' feet to help get a better night's rest.
  4. Peace & Calming - This tangy mix of Orange, Ylang Ylang, Northern Lights Black Spruce, Tangerine, and Patchouli is another great way to set the mood for a relaxing evening or afternoon nap.
  5. Thieves - This is a Young Living favorite. Its uses are as powerful as they are varied; Thieves can be used for anything from immune defense to household cleaning.

It Doesn't Have To Stop There!

Though the five oils we just discussed could be considered the "essential" components of your survival kit (see what we did there?), the list doesn't have to stop there. There are several other essential oils that may come in handy when dealing with the everyday demands of motherhood, such as:
  • Eucalyptus - Purifying and cleansing
  • Clary Sage - Calming and relaxing
  • Bergamot - Calming and confidence-boosting
  • Rosemary - Promotes mental clarity
