To all the moms out there living the hectic #momlife…this blend is for you!
We know (trust us we really know!) how crazy life can be for a mom, between grocery shopping, meal planning, dishes, lunches, rides to school, lessons, homework help, and lets not forget the never-ending laundry pile!
This Calm the Mom inhaler mom is brought to you by one of the awesome real-life moms in our Safe Essential Oils Facebook group, Jadey Wadeybug!
So sit back, take a much-deserved break, and whip up an inhaler full of this liquid relaxation!
DIY Calm the Mom Personal Inhaler Blend
What you’ll need:
- 10 drops Bergamot
- 4 drops Neroli
- 4 drops Clary Sage
- 2 drops Ho Wood
Add all these products to your cart
What you’ll do:
Mix your master blend and let it sit for a few days to meld together fully. Put 15 drops onto a personal inhaler wick and enjoy!
Thanks for the tip!!! Definitely one to try!
Can I add carrier oil to put in a roller and apply to wrists ?
Absolutely!
Perfect!
6 months later and this is still my favorite inhaler recipe. Lately. I have been adding 1-2 drops of petitgrain to the master blend, it just works so well with the bergamot and neroli. I was hoping you’ll offer this as a synergy last Mother’s Day … maybe next year?
Just need to get one ingredient and I’ll definitely be whipping this one up. Thank you so much for the info!
This is a wonderful way to relax thank you
I could so use this today (ok, maybe everyday, lol). Looks like my wishlist will be growing!
Wow, this sounds amazing! Had no clue on these blogs! New Year, new start!! 🙂
Where has this been all of my life!? Thank you PT!!
Thanks for this blend!! Neroli is on my wishlist can’t wait to get it to try this blend out! Thanks for sharing!
I love th first three eos in the recipe, so I ordered Ho Wood. I will be making this one soon! I have been looking for calming/relaxing recipes without Ylang-Ylang and Jasmine (I react sometimes) and Lavender (I use it a lot!) for variety.
Loving this blend! This is not something I would have put together on my own, but I am pleasantly surprised! Ho Wood is my current favorite, so I might kick that up a notch! Thank you, Jadey Wadeybug!!
I am definitely ordering the oils I need to make this. Just yesterday a friend told me I ‘wear too many hats” and I need to step back. This upcoming holiday season will not help.
this sounds amazing!!!!! will have to make soooon! thx Plant Therapy!!!
Let us know how you like it! 🙂
Was looking for a calming blend and I have all of these! Can’t wait to try.
Loving this blend! This is not something I would have put together on my own, but I am pleasantly surprised! Ho Wood is my current favorite, so I might kick that up a notch! 🙂 Thank you, Jadey Wadeybug!!
Oh goodness, I need this!
Oh darn, some more oils I’ll have to add to my wish list 😉
On it!
This has seriously saved me!
Can’t wait to try this one!
Sounds absolutely beautiful. I plan on making this today.
Can I mix a bigger batch than divide into smaller bottles?
You certainly can make a larger batch to divide into smaller bottles for diffusion. Just be sure to dilute properly if you are intending on applying topically
Sounds really nice! I have a friend that has triplets, I am thinking this would be a nice little gift for her to try! Thank you!!!
I think you’re probably right! That’s so kind of you 🙂
Silly question here, but how exactly do you make the master blend? Like, what do I put the drops together in?
Heather, I would recommend making a master blend in an empty, amber glass bottle. You can find different sizes here: https://www.planttherapy.com/search?Store_Code=PT&q=amber+glass+
Pick a size that works for you, but I wouldn’t use a roller bottle because they don’t include the dropper on the bottle, only the roller ball.
Sounds wonderful! Need a few more of the oils. Hope to get soon!
Any substitute for neroli and ho wood?
I would recommend Petitgrain for the Neroli sub, and then Vetiver or Sandalwood for Ho Wood
I can’t wait to try this! Thanks!
Neroli is in so many recipes that I want to try!! On to the wish list it goes!!
Anne, it’s one of those oils that is so worth it once you get it!
Is there a reason you suggest an inhaler as opposed to a roller or diffusing?
Great question Jessica! Inhalers/diffusers are more commonly used for emotional situations whereas rollers may be used more for things like injury, aches, skin problems, bruises, etc. Having an inhaler I is super convenient because they are portable, refillable and can be used anywhere without having to worry about possibly bothering someone else who is sensitive to scents.
This is a blend that I want to try!
I need this in my life! 🙂
Not a mom, and do not have Neroli, but am diffusing this right now subbing sweet orange and it is very pleasing! Will be making a master blend for an inhaler tonight, thanks again PT!
So glad you are enjoying that! Hope it promotes a nice, relaxing weekend
I have all but the Neroli and the Howood… I am a mom of 3 boys and going through divorce right now so this blend sounds like a must have. Any oils I can use to substitute the Neroli and Howood?
Courtney, I think this blend will be perfect for you. You can sub Petitgrain for Neroli and sub Cedarwood/Sandalwood or Vetiver for the Ho Wood
Sounds so good. What could i substitute for clary sage?
Patti, you can sub with another calming oil like Lavender, or Chamomile 🙂
I can’t wait to make this tomorrow. Sounds perfect!!
This sounds awesome!!! Neroli is one of my favorites!
Haha, yes! I would love to try this. Now I just need to put Neroli on my Christmas list.
Pt needs to makes this as a synergy. I don’t have neroli or ho wood but I would love to try this blend.
This blend looks awesome! I’m going to have to go find this facebook group too.
I definitely need to make this!
Mom of three boys. I gotta try this!
I need to try this!
Another recipe I want to try that has Neroli…it might just have to go on my Wish List!!
This sounds amazing!
I have it all but the Neroli, so I’m going to try and sub the orange sweet. Sounds amazing.
If its got Bergamot in it…..ohhh the love….it has to be good. 😉 Thank you, saved.
Neroli…another great one to add to my list
I’m going to try this!
So perfect!! Will definately need to try this. Thank you !!
oh this sounds heavenly, now off to order Neroli!
Can I use this in the diffuser
Hello Cristy! Yes, you can use in a diffuser. After you make the master blend, you can add 2-3 drops for every 100 ml of water in your diffuser 🙂
I made this recipe and I love it!
This looks great and I have every ingredient. Going to try this today as my 3 year old is trying my patience today lol.
how is this compared to the CALMING BLEND? Thanks for this inspiration!
Brenda, if you are referring to the Calming the Child blend, they will both have calming effects, but the scents are going to be different due to having all different oils
Definitely saving this to my Pinterest! I have never made an inhaler. I have always wanted to try To Wood too.
Hmmm… Sounds nice 😉 Can’t wait for my Ho Wood! Can I use Petitgrain instead of Neroli?
Yes Linda! Petitgrain would be a great substitution for Neroli
I will have to try this soon!
What mom doesn’t need calming? This is a great idea for a synergy!
Sounds interesting. Is there any substitute for ho wood?
Joanna, you could try Vetiver or Sandalwood as a substitute
Oh this is great! I guess I better start doing this blend especially if you have a 2year old toddler who is hyperactive like me.
I definitely need to try this!
Is it always good to allow a blend to meld before using?
Ellen, it is good to allow the blend to meld before using. This allows the oils to blend together so you can get a better idea of how the blend will smell down the road. It will be difference than what it smells like when you first mix everything. So, depending on how patient you are lol
Sounds wonderful! I will need to add a couple of these oils to my wish list!
Thanks! This will definitely be needed during the school year.
Definitely going to try this one!
I have all the oils except Neroli so I am going to make one with the other 3 oils. I adore Bergamot and Ho Wood! Great blend Jadey! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this blend suggestion. I need it with the Holidays coming up.
I’m just starting to get rolling in our school year and I already feel like we could all use a more calm me. I’ll have to try this out.
I love the idea. However, I’m not a fan of make a blend of 20 drops and use 15 of them. What about the other 5? I have to use one of my empties to store it until I need a refresher.
Andrea, if you are not wanting to hold on the the extra 5 drops until refreshing the inhaler, then you can always make a blend of just 15 drops, split as you’d like 🙂
I really need to do this! Thank you for this awesome recipe!
Thanks for the blend …. can always use new relaxation blends 🙂
So awesome!!! I mixed this up over the weekend and I most certainly needed it today.
I wish I had Neroli – this blend looks amazing! I love the other oils in it, but I don’t have Neroli. Is there a good substitute?
Heidi, you could use Petitgrain if you have that 🙂
I need this! Thank you so much!
Great, thanks for posting :*
Oh, it sounds so nice!!! I would love to try once I have Neroli and Ho wood.
Ohhh… I need to try this! Every mom needs some calm!
I have everything except Neroli, what would an appropriate substitute be?
Ashley, you could substitute that with Orange Sweet if you have that
I think Petitgrain would be a great substitute also!
Or Petitgrain is another great alternative
Okay I am so trying this! Homeschooling mama to a 1st. 2nd and 3rd grader! This is needed in my life!!!! I am so excited to have been introduced to PT!
Sounds wonderful!
My favorite blend is Calming the Child. I’ve been known to steal it from my son’s stash! I cannot wait to try this and have a calming blend of my own.
I am going to blend for the first time following a PT recipe. Is it best to wash or steralize with water bath before filling?
I don’t, but you could if you want.
I do! Boiling water and the jars will dry on their own from their own heat
Wow! I need this on the daily! Please make it into a synergy blend!!
I really need to try this
I am defiantely adding this to my list of things to try. Sounds perfect for this busy mom of 4.
Thanks for the tip of letting it “meld” together. Made a huge difference! I keep this in my purse and use it when I’m driving in traffic.
Definitely will make this one! Thank you!
Thanks for the blend. This is definitely one I want to try.
