How Essential Oils Support Gut Health and Digestion Naturally
Health Begins in the Gut: How Essential Oils Can Support Digestion & Balance
We’ve all heard the saying: “Trust your gut.” But did you know your gut is often called your second brain? It’s where stress shows up, digestion begins, and vital nutrients are absorbed to support every system in your body — from immunity to mood to skin health.
At B Calm, we believe in supporting your well-being from the inside out — naturally. And your gut health is the perfect place to start.
Why Gut Health Matters
Your gut is responsible for:
-
Digesting and absorbing nutrients
-
Producing feel-good neurotransmitters like serotonin
-
Balancing your immune system
-
Managing inflammation
But stress, poor diet, and environmental toxins can compromise the gut lining, contributing to “leaky gut,” bloating, fatigue, brain fog, and even skin issues like breakouts or perioral dermatitis.
The good news?
Your gut is resilient. With calming support, healthy routines, and the power of essential oils, you can begin to nourish and repair your digestive system — and feel better fast.
The Gut-Brain Connection & Aromatherapy
Essential oils affect the limbic system of the brain in just 22 seconds — calming the nervous system and helping to shift the body into a “rest and digest” state. This is key for healing the gut lining and improving nutrient absorption.
Our B Calm Blends were designed to support this natural balance, both emotionally and physically.
Create Your Calm Gut Ritual
What you need:
-
-

-
Optional: Diffuser, Keyring Diffuser, roller ball
Step-by-Step Tummy Ritual
-
Add 2 drops of Breathe Calm, Live Calm or Rest Calm with a teaspoon of carrier oil.
-
Apply gently to your abdomen in a clockwise circular motion (this follows the direction of your digestive tract).
-
Breathe deeply — inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth — while gently massaging the belly.
-
Pop a 5/8 drops into your diffuser, or use your roller ball (10 drops) or keyring diffuser (1/2 drop on beads)during the day to calm the nervous system and support digestion from the inside out.
Top Tip: Try this in the evening before bed to soothe the vagus nerve and help the gut repair overnight. Roll down the neck (vagus nerve location)
