If you’ve ever found yourself venting about a particular ailment while surrounded by fellow moms, chances are someone chimed in, “There’s an oil for that.” I’ll admit, I might have been one of those people suggesting a little peppermint oil on your forehead to ease the tension from your rambunctious toddler. And while I’m not a hardcore essential oils advocate, I can acknowledge that a touch of lavender on your pillow can work wonders for sleep.
However, there are some essential oils I truly wish existed. With all the advancements in science and medicine, wouldn’t it be great to have an anti-whining oil for your over-tired 2-year-old or a potion that stops little boys from discussing their anatomy in public? Imagine how peaceful life could be!
If you’ve ever reached for a roller bottle hoping to whisk away that stomach bug plaguing your family or calm your restless child, you’ll appreciate this whimsical list of essential oils that moms long for.
Forget-Me-Not Blend
This oil would help your child remember to brush their teeth after the 13th reminder instead of staging a Minecraft reenactment for their baby brother. Ideal for that kid who insists, “But I forgot,” and for moms who might start forgetting things themselves if they hear it one more time.
Anti-Eye-Rolling Blend
The classic tween eye roll becomes a genuine disorder from ages 10 to 13. This blend would transform your child’s expression from sulky to sunny and prevent them from rolling their eyes when you dare to converse with them—perfect for teenagers too!
“Hurry Up Already” Blend
This refreshing concoction would be a lifesaver for kids who can’t seem to get their act together when you need to leave the house. Just apply it to the toddler who can’t locate their missing shoe or the 7-year-old who suddenly needs to use the bathroom. You’d never be late again!
Anti-Sunrise Blend
For the toddler who insists on waking at 5 a.m. no matter what, this oil would ensure a peaceful morning. A dash on their pillow could keep them entertained quietly until a more civilized hour.
Temper-Tantrum Tamer
Perfect for shopping trips with cranky toddlers, this oil would prevent meltdowns when you resist buying the latest toy. Just apply it to the non-flailing parts of your child and watch the tantrums vanish.
Mega Mood Stabilizer
This blend is ideal for teenagers struggling to manage their emotions. A discreet application will keep them calm and reduce the chances of teenage sass when you inquire about their homework.
“Open Your Eyes” Blend
For the family members who can’t locate their belongings, this oil would encourage them to search with their own eyes. Apply it when they start asking, “Do you know where my…” and watch them find it independently.
“Do It Anyway” Blend
This magical oil would ensure compliance with any task your child dislikes. Add a sprinkle to their food, and they’d eat what you prepared without complaint. Diffuse it regularly to make chores easier—like convincing your toddler to sleep in their own bed.
Pre-Baby Body Blend
For moms longing for their pre-baby bodies, this oil would magically restore waistlines and lift spirits. Each application would transport you back to a moment of sanity, bringing back memories of life before kids.
Reasonable and Rational Blend
This blend is the ultimate solution for fostering harmony among siblings. Diffuse it constantly to minimize arguments and encourage cooperation during playtime.
Bullseye Blend
A must for anyone with poor aim, this robust oil would help husbands and kids hit the target—whether it’s the laundry basket or the toilet. Pair it with the “Open Your Eyes” blend for a smoothly functioning household.
Essential oils are often associated with stress relief and mood enhancement, but what moms truly crave is a return to sanity and a few moments of peace. If they ever create these oils, count me in!
