There was a sample green oil bottle on my office desk the other day and my littlest walked in and asked, “Daddy, what’s this?”

I said, “It is a bottle for oil.”

She said, “My oil?”

I said, “Are you wanting me to make you your very own oil?”

“Yes, Daddy”, she said.

I said, “Okay, let me think about what to make for you.”

Now this little one runs 100 mph on a slow day and I watch her wonderful Mom striving to channel the little one’s energy in a constructive manner.

If you can imagine a race track in our home she runs from the entry, to the family room, to the kitchen and back to the entry in one big circle and she will do it over and over. She puts the Energizer Bunny to shame.

She is fearless for so many things, but something I have seen is a fear growing around the idea of pooping and it is traumatizing for her. There has been such pain around it. Oftentimes we as adults take the natural elimination process for granted.

Typically, when we experience constipation one of the emotional aspects can be an unwillingness to express our emotions for fear of being rejected. On the other hand, when we may be running from something emotionally, we sometimes can experience diarrhea.

So, I knew I had to use an oil for her that helped her feel safer and help support proper elimination of poop and emotions surrounding it. I chose to use Roman Chamomile.

Roman Chamomile can be a great digestive, sleep aid, and pain reliever but where she really shines is helping us to feel safer.

I added 6 drops of Roman Chamomile to our Green oil bottle (10ml), then filled it with carrier oil (Fractionated Coconut Oil or Almond Oil can work well here).

Shook it for a good 2-3 minutes and let it sit for a day in a cool and dark area.

When it was ready, I presented the oil to her, and she was so excited to have her very own essential oil blend. She told me “thank you.”

I let her smell the essential oil blend we made together. 

Then as part of her nighttime routine we began rubbing 3 drops of our nighttime blend on her lower abdomen.

As we developed this routine, she now knows what the essential oil is for and that these essential oil combinations offer some assistance. It isn’t pure magic as she still deals with some fears, but we keep at it and often when she feels abdominal pain she will say, “Daddy, I nee ma oil! I nee ma oil!

Since introducing Roman Chamomile, I see less constipation moments and a child who is becoming open to preventive, natural modalities. God is good.
