Background

Stress Away, a D. Gary Young proprietary blend, brings aromas from around the world to create an on-the-go getaway just for you. It's this distinct mix of vanilla and lime that gives Stress Away its unique and exotic aroma. Stress Away also includes Copaiba, which has a history of beneficial properties in topical application when applied to tired muscles; Lavender, with its peaceful, and calming scent that comes from a few of Young Living's farms located in Utah, Idaho, and France; and Cedarwood, known for its comforting, calming aroma.

Stress Away essential oil blend features Copaiba, Lime, Cedarwood, Vanilla, Ocotea, and Lavender for an exotic aroma used for exactly for what the name says and for achieving a happy and positive day.

  • Copaiba - an oleoresin like Frankincense, this oil has been used in folk medicine for years for its ability to support the body's response to inflammation and injury, to soothe and protect the skin, and to calm the nervous system.
  • Lime - known in folklore for its ability to cleanse and renew the spirit, Lime is stimulating to the mind and supports the immune system.
  • Cedarwood - high in sesquiterpenes, this oil helps stipulate the limbic center of the brain (where emotions and memory are processed and stored), supports focus, cognition and memory, stabilizing and grounding. 
  • Vanilla - an oleoresin like Frankincense and Copaiba, Vanilla supports a calm, serene environment, helps elevate mood and stimulate joyful memories, and may help relieve nervous tension.
  • Ocotea - an oil from the cinnamon family, Ocotea supports feelings of completeness, peace and tranquility.
  • Lavender - well known for its ability to calm and soothe, Lavender also helps support focus and mental clarity.
Key Consituents

Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them sprecic health-supporting properties.

  • Beta-caryophyllene - has a unique ability to bind with CB2 receptors which may allow it to support the body's response to inflammation and infection as well as calm the nervous system during times of anxiety and pain. 
  • Alpha-humulene - a versatile terpene constituent that may have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor effects
  • Limonene - known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits
  • Linalool - may support the body during injury and/or sickness and help relieve stress 
Stress Away & Emotions

Stress Away has such a gentle, loving aroma that can be used anytime you need a little extra peace and tranquility. Copaiba and Cedarwood specifically are supportive for releasing stress and tension, and the other oils in this blend have very specific ways to support the body physically and emotionally during times of stress!

Info from Courtney Crtiz: 
  • Lime - Known for its ability to uplift, calm, relieve anxious feelings, and even cleanse the liver...which just might be struggling with lots of, you guessed it, stress, anger, criticism.
  • Copaiba - Powerful in its strength to reduce inflammation. What does stress cause? Inflammation. The root of boatloads of our illness and pain.
  • Cedarwood - Grounding and promoting rest and peace, this is one we can use to reset our patterns and ruts. Maybe the ones causing us stress because the same repeated actions won't change the situation?
  • Ocotea - What do we do when we're stressed? Eat, compensate, raise our blood sugar levels so we feel a high? But our friend here helps us to keep that balanced and in check for a more even response.
  • Lavender - We've discussed this Wonder Woman disguised in Grandma's cap. She is literally doing it all, working on that blood pressure, the self-loathing, the anxiousness.
  • Vanilla - Just yum. And also known for its own ability to support mental health!
