calmers
Things that pacify
Calmers is the plural of calmer—something or someone that calms.
The word appears most often in discussions of substances or practices that reduce anxiety or agitation: Natural calmers like chamomile and lavender help some people sleep.
A person who soothes tense situations might also be called a calmer: She was one of the great calmers in our office.
