Handling Panic Naturally
Five girls and one baby all crammed in the back of a stranger’s mini-van.
It made perfect sense.
We needed a Lyft to our Young Living training, and it would only be a fifteen minute drive.
I jumped in the back thinking nothing of it. I’ve been a mom for 8 years. This was hardly my first time riding in a minivan. No big deal…
Then it happened.
It was 95 degrees that day in Utah, and the back of that van was both hot and stuffy.
I started to feel it coming on:
Sweat.
Quick, shallow breaths.
Panic.
“Could we get more air back here, please?â€
“Oh, yeah…this van doesn’t have great air conditioning, especially in the back…â€
“Could we roll down a window or something?†Then I whispered to my friends, “I’m starting to freak out a little…I feel like I can’t breathe…â€
The window rolled down. It got hotter.
“Here, take some Peppermint.â€
“I don’t have car sickness. I just don’t handle cramped spaces well. Then add in not breathing great and heat…â€
“Just take it. Put it on the back of your neck, then cup your hands and breathe it in.â€
Not exactly being in a position to argue, I did it assuming it wouldn’t help but knowing it couldn’t hurt.
I’d never used Peppermint as a calming oil…
I couldn’t believe it.
Almost immediately my body cooled (I applied it where my brain stem is), and when I breathed in the left over oil from my cupped hand, everything in me started to relax.
I could breathe…
…and think straight…
…handling panic naturally.
It finally made sense why one of the docs at a Young Living workshop said Peppermint was the most complete oil. He said to always carry Peppermint and Lemon oil wherever you go.
All I know after that experience is: plane, train, or automobile, this girl will always have her Young Living Peppermint essential oil on her!
