So, you know what’s really frustrating? When you’re at the store and seriously, like every customer is just walking in front of you. Some people will even take their sweet ol’ time. You’re trying to be polite and let them go in front of you, they do, and just stand there blocking the aisle for 10 minutes. I mean, I can understand a few people, but there are times, where I swear I have a sign on my forehead that says “Please walk out in front of me” “Please try to run me over with your cart, it’s okay, I’m insured.” Ugh! Seems like politeness and manners are sorely lacking these days. Then you get to the checker and she’s got the worst attitude of all of them.
Ever have a trip and issues like that?
Trying to get along with others is not always easy. Whether you’re at the grocery store, driving in your car, or working with that annoying co-worker (yeah, everyone has one!) life is so much easier to control with oils. That’s why I always carry Thyme essential oil with me. There have been a few times, okay, several in the past few years, where I’ve had to pull out my Thyme oil and put it on my wrists as an anger management technique :).
Ahhh, within a few seconds, I’m completely calm, not mad, just relaxed.
Not only do essential oils work, and work well, they work LIGHTNING FAST! You can literally rub the oil on and within seconds, feel less angry.
If you want to use Thyme essential oil for yourself, there’s one thing you need to know. It’s a spicier oil, so make sure to heavily dilute it with Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO). The ratio is 5 drops FCO to 1 drop Thyme. I keep mine in a 10 ml roll-on bottle for easy and super quick application for myself and my little ones when they’ve had a bad day at school.
Sometimes we, and especially kids, don’t understand or know exactly what emotion they are feeling. To diffuse and avert any negative emotion, I love to use my Zyto Bio-scanner. It picks up emotions and tells you exactly which essential oil your body needs right at that moment. You simply put your hand on the mouse and it reads it. It’s seriously cool. You can read my full review on the Zyto Bio-scanner here.
Update: I was asked where to get the roll on bottle. The roll on bottles you can find here. Make sure you dilute the oil with Fractionated Coconut Oil as Thyme is a spicier oil – 5 drops coconut oil to 1 drop Thyme. The bottles are very inexpensive and are 10 ml. I’ve had my roll on bottle for about a year now and I’ve not had to refill it once yet. It lasts a really long time. When I’m in public, I will roll it on my wrists. The best place is the bottom of your feet if you’re at home.
I made some pretty roll on bottle labels for you too! You can grab them below…

You can also diffuse Thyme in your home to affect your household mood without starting a fight. Often times when my ex-husband would come home angry or cranky from work, I’d diffuse oils and he’d feel better and I never had to even make it a big deal. Most of the time, he didn’t even realize I was helping. You know…sometimes that pride issue in a relationship. Sometimes a person WANTS to be mad, pick a fight, etc.

This is seriously like an entirely new concept for me! It honestly like blows my mind that something so simple can make such a huge difference. I love that it is safe for children too!

Why does the coconut oil need to be fractionated?
Sarah Titus says
It’s just how it’s dispensed. Fractionated coconut oil is a liquid, so I can easily put the liquid into a roll-on bottle and it dispenses well. You could use coconut oil if you melt it, but I’m not sure it wouldn’t “harden” again and wouldn’t work in a roll-on bottle. Though you could just rub it (on the bottom of your feet as it’s a hot oil) on or make some sort of salve for it.

Regular coconut oil does harden again. It does not work. Use fractionated.

Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!! I have been trying to work on myself with the hopes that it will POSITIVELY affect others! With that being said some people are just miserable and hell bent on taking me with them! With this I don’t have to go there! Bless you! I thank God for your suggestion!
Sarah Titus says
Absolutely! Glad to help. 🙂

Can I use another oil besides coconut oil? My skins breaks out with coconut oil. Maybe almond oil or jojoba? thanks!
Sarah Titus says
Sorry to hear that. Of course. 🙂 Any carrier oil will work. The main point is that you want to dilute it because it’s a spicier oil.

Thank you for that great tip! I have an autistic child and things can get a bit dicey on a semi regular basis. Sounds like we might need this to temper the aggravation levels and right the ship, or at least avoid a Titanic moment. I’m new to this whole oil thing and have never diffused. This was a very practical use for our family to try. If it helps at all I will be eternally grateful and completely sold on oils forever. Thank you so much for being real and posting!
Sarah Titus says
Absolutely Deb. 🙂 Be sure to purchase therapeutic grade oils or it may not work, as they won’t be pure enough.
