If holding down the fort while your hero is gone gets overwhelming, that stress can wreak havoc on your body and mind, so be sure you have reassurance (REASSURING BLEND), calming (RESTFUL BLEND), and grounding (GROUNDING BLEND) Essential Oils on hand.
The GROUNDING BLEND helps promote feelings of tranquility, calmness, well-being, and emotional balance. The REASSURING BLEND promotes feelings of peace and contentment. Either of these blends would be ideal for nervous or stressed spouses carrying the heavy load of having to play the role of both parents.
The RESTFUL BLEND helps calm the mind and emotions and relax the body and can also be helpful for stress—provided you’re not behind the wheel!
