- Raven - Raven is the oil blend to reach for when you want to breathe deeply! Raven is a crisp, airway opening blend containing Ravintsara (commonly known as camphor), Eucalyptus Radiata, Lemon, Peppermint, and Wintergreen. This oil is wonderful for respiratory and immune support! Diffuse it, add it to epsom salts when your defenses are going down, make a simple chest rub with Raven and coconut oil, or place a few drops on your shower floor every morning.
- R.C. - This gentle eucalyptus blend is formulated for the whole family and is our favorite for happy noses. R.C. stands for “respiratory comfort,” and it gives comfort to your respiratory system indeed! R.C. combines Cypress, Spruce, and three types of Eucalyptus oils (E. citriodora, E. globulus, and E. radiata) for a respiratory blend that is more herbaceous than Raven.
- DiGize Vitality - DiGize is your BFF for a happy digestive system. So much of our health is linked to a diverse, well balanced gut, but immune health is especially dependent on a healthy belly. DiGize is our go to for all things digestion! This blend of Tarragon, Ginger, Peppermint, Juniper, Fennel, Lemongrass, Anise, and Patchouli is so soothing. Roll it over your abdomen whenever digestive discomfort hits, add it to an empty capsule with olive oil and take daily to support a healthy belly, add it to a large glass of water – however you use DiGize, this oil will make a believer out of even the most skeptical!
- Endoflex Vitality - EndoFlex is your daily dose of happy hormone support! This supports the entire endocrine system – from your thyroid to the adrenals to estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. EndoFlex Spearmint, Sage, Geranium, Myrtle, German Chamomile, and Nutmeg in a sesame seed oil base. These oils specifically support the adrenal system, thyroid, and overall endocrine health. Apply this oil over the front of the throat (thyroid) and lower back (adrenals), diffuse it, even use it along the spine for big emotions and to support tweens and teens as they grow!
- JuvaFlex Vitality - JuvaFlex is daily support for a happy, healthy liver. The liver is the filtering organ of the body, so it is constantly processing everything we are exposed to on a daily basis. JuvaFlex combines Blue Tansy, Fennel, Geranium, Helichrysum, Roman Chamomile, and Rosemary essential oils – each of which helps the body process and eliminate toxins, cleansing the system and supporting overall health and vitality. The liver is also where anger is stored in the body, so supporting it well and practicing emotional release can have amazing health benefits. If you're needing support for a specific issue and don't know what else to do, try liver support and cleansing! It can be such a huge part of health.
- Thieves Vitality - Thieves is the original oil when it comes to all things immune! Thieves is our germ-fighting best friend. This is a legendary blend of purifying essential oils - Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus radiata, and Rosemary - that are well known for immune support and cleansing properties.

PanAway Spotlight
PanAway® essential oil blend is one of Young Living's most popular products, and for good reason. This blend is a mix of four powerful essential oils - Wintergreen, Helichrysum, Clove, and Peppermint - that help soothe and stimulate muscles after exercise or anytime you need a little support!
PanAway includes the naturally occurring constituents methyl-salicylate and menthol, which work to support and relieve tired muscles and tendons. The cooling sensation of PanAway makes it the perfect companion for an active lifestyle. Apply it topically after your workouts to feel completely refreshed!
One of our favorite PanAway oil uses is to combine it with V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex and apply it to the chest first thing in the morning for an uplifting boost from its crisp scent. PanAway oil can be used to make a soothing bath soak by adding 10 drops to a cup of Epsom salt; the cooling oil mixed with warm water turns your bathroom into a spa! Whether your favorite PanAway essential oil uses are post-workout or simply relaxing from a long day at the office, this complex and cooling oil is the perfect way to give tired muscles a treat.
PanAway at a Glance
- Offers a refreshing, stimulating aroma
- Soothing to fatigued muscles after physical activity
- Provides a cooling sensation when applied to shoulders, neck, and scalp
- Stimulating blend of Wintergreen, Helichrysum, Clove, and Peppermint essential oils
Key Ingredients
The essential oils in PanAway work differently than conventional over the counter muscle rubs. Conventional products contain counter-irritants that simply make the skin tingle so the brain forgets the underlying pain.
Essential oils work differently. They can penetrate through the skin, into the cells of the muscles and tendons to support the body through pain and healing. Each oil in PanAway plays a specific role in supporting the body.
- Wintergreen - supports the body's response to injury and inflammation, supports pain reduction
- Helichrysum - supports the body through inflammation, muscle spasms and pain
- Clove - a powerful antioxidant that helps the body during pain and also supports immune system
- Peppermint - main constituent is menthol, which may work as an analgesic and is highly effective at penetrating through the skin, allowing the essential oils to reach the areas of need.
Key Constituents
*Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties
- Methyl-salicylate - a naturally-occurring compound that may have analgesic properties; synthetic methyl-salicylate is commonly used in many over the counter preparations for minor aches and pains.
- Menthol - has been studied for is use to support healing and relief of minor aches and pains
- Gamma-curcumene, Eugenol
PanAway & Emotions
Did you know that all of our essential oils have stress relieving benefits - even if they don't have a special name? It's easy to remember to grab the Joy, Stress Away, or Peace & Calming when it comes to dealing with less “physical” issues, but when you put together a list of your must have basic oils, no matter what they are, they will all be supporting your emotional functions as well.
One of the heavy-hitters in the round up of basic oils is PanAway. It smells like root beer. You probably keep it on hand for physical relief, muscle soreness, cooling massage after a workout, but get ready - this blend also helps us to release…
Exhaustion. Sign me up for a vat!!!
We all know that pain is exhausting, and emotional pain can be crippling when it is pushed down for a long time without being addressed. Our connective tissue and muscles are directly affected by this type of repressed stress.
When you use essential oils, you are not simply addressing a surface issue of “something hurts”. Essential oils interact with our brain and our nervous system. As we intentionally work on managing stress, we begin to CHANGE the instructions and signals our brain is sending out for our survival and protection.
If you find yourself exhausted, it may be time to have a talk with inner you. What is swimming around in there, unanswered, unheard, unfelt. Using PanAway can be a great way to start releasing some of that deep pain and/or exhaustion.
Daily Habits with PanAway
Combine PanAway with V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex and use it with massage after physical activity for a cool, stimulating sensation.
Apply it to your neck and shoulders in the morning with V-6 for an uplifting, refreshing aroma.
Apply it to the bottoms of feet and calves for a relaxing massage. This is especially wonderful after standing or walking all day!
Combine 1 drop of PanAway with 4 drops of V-6 and rub it into your scalp and the back of your neck for an invigorating massage.
Combine 1 cup of epsom salt and 5 drops of PanAway and pour into hot water for a relaxing and refreshing detox bath. Optional companion oils: Copaiba, Frankincense, Oregano, Aroma Siez

Christmas Spirit Essential
Oil Blend Spotlight
Although we love this blend all year long, there's just a special place in our hearts for Christmas Spirit during the holidays. It doesn't get much better than this cozy scent that lights up the whole room! Make sure you buy now because it's only available for a limited time during the holiday season!
Just a Drop of Christmas Spirit
- Has an uplifting and joyful aroma
- Evokes memories of joy, happiness, comfort, and security
- Fills your space with the scents of winter holidays without the toxins in candles
- Perfect to use during holiday gatherings
- Fabulous to gift to friends (add a diffuser or a Thieves Cleaner!)
Christmas Spirit is a sweet, spicy blend of essential oils that taps into the happiness, joy, and security associated with the holiday season. Not only does it smell like perfection without attacking your respiratory system like synthetic scents, but it is also an effective way to work through the many emotions and memories that crop up during this time of year.
Christmas Spirit is a beautiful medley of three quintessential winter oils:
Christmas Spirit is a beautiful medley of three quintessential winter oils:
- Orange - has a bright aroma that promotes feelings of joy, peace, and happiness; high in limonene, which is great for the immune system
- Cinnamon Bark - the oil of wealth from the Orient, this spicy sweet oil is reminiscent of holidays and is supportive of immune health.
- Black Spruce - like other tree oils, spruce promotes feeling of balance and grounding which are often needed during the holidays.
Key Constituents
Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties.
- Monoterpenes - can support the respiratory system, are responsible for many immune system support properties of essential oils.
- Sesquiterpenes - may stimulate the limbic system of the brain, help lower brain waves from overly active to focused or from focused to meditative, help elevate the mood and calm the body.
- Limonene - known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits.
Christmas Spirit & Emotions
The oils in Christmas Spirit not only smell incredible and festive, they are wonderful emotional support tools! Orange and other citrus oils are bright, happy and help stimulate creativity. When we are overwhelmed emotionally or are feeling undervalued or not heard, our creativity can suffer. Citrus oils, especially Orange, can help us shift our focus back towards our needs when we use them intentionally!
The Spruce and Evergreen family of oils are the ones to reach for when you feel like you are comparing yourself to others, are feeling undervalued or as though your unique voice has no place. Cinnamon Bark is spicy and sweet, alerting to the senses and the mind. It can help move sadness and grief through the body as it physically warms the skin and helps us stay in our bodies (versus constantly being in our thoughts and emotions) so we can process and heal.
Stop for a moment and breathe deeply, connect to what is truly happening in your body and emotions and use this oil blend to help get your body back into safety. Read more about how to process and release emotions in this powerful book Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils.

Thankful Heart Diffuser Blends
This collection of diffuser blends has some of our favorites for the cooler months. This time of year we naturally start to slow down and savor the beauty around us, and these diffuser blends are perfect for the season.
Many of these blends include ‘spice' oils like Cinnamon Bark and Clove. These essential oils are supportive of the immune system, are antioxidants (with Clove being a powerhouse antioxidant!), and support the endocrine and adrenal systems.
This set of blends also includes ‘tree' oils like Northern Lights Black Spruce, Patchouli, and Pine, which are known for their grounding and calming properties. Further, tree oils are wonderful for releasing emotional blocks, fostering emotional intimacy and connection, and supporting the body's natural response to microbes.
Citrus oils also show up in these blends to bring a bright, uplifting atmosphere that is warm and familiar. Each of the oils in these blends supports the body in a unique way, both physically and emotionally!
Our diffusers are running 24/7 in our homes, supporting our immune systems, respiratory systems, emotions, cleansing the air and making things smell happy and inviting all at the same time.
Join us this month as we diffuse these favorite blends to celebrate and be thankful this month.
LIFE HACK - You can easily transform these blends into roller recipes and sprays!
To make a 10 mL roller from any recipe - triple the number of drops to make a total of 35-45 total drops, add a carrier of choice (we love V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex) and you're good to go.
To make a 2 oz spray from any recipe - double the number of drops to a total of about 25 drops, ad a splash of witch hazel and fill with filtered water. Spray on upholstered surfaces, bedding, rugs, anywhere you want to freshen!
Happy diffusing!!

R.C. essential oil blend is a powerful combination of Cypress, Spruce, and three types of Eucalyptus oils (E. citriodora, E. globulus, and E. radiata) - making it an all time favorite for the winter months! The initials stand for respiratory care, as this oil feels like a deep, cleansing breath no matter the time of year.
Just a Drop of R.C.
- Provides a refreshing breathing experience
- Supports the airways and the feeling of normal, clear breathing
- Creates an invigorating, spa-inspired experience when added to a bath or shower
- Can be diffused or applied during the cold-weather season for airway needs
- Provides the soothing and cooling effect of menthol
- Makes a wonderful DIY chest rub
KEY CONSTITUENTS
Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them sprecic health-supporting properties.
- Eucalyptol - eucalyptol has a distinctive, fresh aroma that has a calming effect on the user when applied in aromatherapy. Research shows that eucalyptol may have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial and neuroprotective effects. It may also act as a bronchodilator, supporting airway opening.
- Menthol - provides a cooling sensation to the skin and supports reduction of inflammation in the muscles and airways
- Alpha-pinene - a powerful antioxidant, some studies have shown alpha-pinene to support the body through inflammation and to help calm the mind.

Raven Essential Oil Spotlight
Raven essential oil blend is like a deep breath. Ravintsara (Camphor), Eucalyptus Radiata, Lemon, Peppermint, and Wintergreen oils combine for a scent that is crisp and refreshing! Raven contains ravintsara aka camphor - the active ingredient in over the counter chest rubs. (Sadly the OTC rubs contain synthetic camphor. We however have the good stuff - real and natural!). This oil is our go-to for when we need to breathe easy.
Just a Drop of Raven
- Has a cool, minty, eucalyptus aroma reminiscent of a spa
- Smells uplifting and refreshing
- Helps soothe when applied to the chest and throat
- Helps open airways when inhaled or diffused
- Contains ravintsara - camphor - a well known herb for respiratory congestion
One of the easiest ways to use Raven is in place of OTC chest rubs or creams. This is as simple as mixing one drop of Raven with a pump of V-6 Carrier oil! You can apply it over the throat, chest and back as well as the bottom of the feet. Raven is also great to diffuse (we love it with Thieves when things get crazy!) or add to an epsom salt bath when needed. You can also make a hot compress to place over the nasal passages, throat or chest with a hot rag and a drop of Raven. It's so easy to use!
Raven background
Ravintsara is found within the leaves and wood of the camphor tree, a large evergreen tree native to regions in southern China and Japan, as well as Taiwan, Korea, and Vietnam. Ravintsara's slightly woodsy aroma pairs perfectly with other essential oils in the mint family, including Peppermint and Wintergreen. The whole experience of the blend is sweetened with a sprinkle of Lemon, creating the sensation of walking through a crisp, quiet winter forest.
Ingredients in Raven
- Ravintsara (camphor) - an ancient herb that has been used for centuries for respiratory needs, known in Madagascar as the 'oil that heals'.
- Lemon - a cleansing oil high in limonene and wonderful for immune support that is also a natural mucolytic.
- Wintergreen (methyl salicylate) - in the same family as the plant from which aspirin was derived, this oil is great for the respiratory system. Wintergreen is a key ingredient in the Thieves cough drops too!
- Peppermint - amazing for respiratory support, lungs, and sinuses, this mint oil can help open and soothe the respiratory tract.
- Eucalyptus Radiata - long used for respiratory and sinus support, eucalyptus is a wellness cabinet must-have.
Key Constituents
*Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties
- Menthol - has been studied for its use to support healing and relief of minor aches and pains as well as airway support.
- Eucalyptol - this constituent has far-reaching positive effects on the respiratory system, memory, and more.
- Methyl salicylate - a naturally-occurring compound that may have analgesic properties; synthetic methyl-salicylate is commonly used in many over the counter preparations for minor aches and pains.
Raven & Emotions
Did you know that ancient Chinese and Greek medicine practices point to the lungs as being the place where Sadness and Grief are stored? Everyday life is full of highs and lows, and whether chronic or acute, grief can create physical feelings in our chests. And let's face it - there is a lot to grieve as we go through life! When we are grieving we both physically and emotionally feel like we have very little "room to breathe". Conversely, when we feel excited, self-assured, and happy our chest feels light and puffed up.
Raven supports our every-day lung function while also creating the feeling of having more breathing room! Wintergreen, Ravintsara, & Eucalyptus open up our airways and help us to feel like we have more space to breathe and let go of the grief! Here are a few ideas for using Raven in this way:
- Diffuse with citrus oils as you process through your emotions. To release our motions we need physical movement so consider yoga, walking or even stretching.
- Rub a little behind the ears and over the chest while repeating the mantra: "I see clearly" or "I let it go".

Elderberry & Elderflower
Elderberry and elderflower are two different parts of the same medicinal shrub, and both can be used for their health benefits! While similar, they each have distinct properties that can be used for immune and respiratory health.
Elderberries have been utilized in traditional folk medicine for thousands of years. In European folklore, elderberry consumption was associated with increased longevity and vigor! They are a great source of antioxidants, dietary fiber and vitamins, and are a wonderful way to provide immune support for the body.
Elderflowers are the flowers of the same plant that bloom before the berries form. They have a slight sweet, floral taste, making them a popular choice for teas and cordials. Elderflowers have been shown to have up to two times higher antioxidant activity than the berries due to a higher phenolic content, and they are great for supporting the respiratory system.

Purification Spotlight
Purification is our favorite way to keep our homes smelling fresh and clean - even if they aren't! It has a crisp, fresh aroma, and unlike many harsh chemical-based sprays it truly eliminates odors and doesn't simply mask them. It's a bright, cleansing blend of Citronella, Lavandin, Lemongrass, Rosemary, Myrtle, and Tea Tree that we use in so many different ways!
Just a Drop of Purification
- Cleanses the air of unwanted odors
- Soothes skin when applied topically
- Supports the respiratory system when applied to the chest and back or diffused
- Helps keep outdoor annoyances at bay
- Freshens musty and stale areas with its clean, invigorating scent
- Makes a great addition to your cleaning routine
Purification essential oil blend is a combination of Citronella, Lavandin, Lemongrass, Myrtle, Rosemary, and Tea Tree that is formulated for diffusing to neutralize and cleanse your home and work environment. It is a favorite addition to our cleaning routine, is good at keeping outdoor annoyances at bay, and is also soothing to your skin for everyday irritations! This is one of our mainstay oils because it is so versatile.
Background
Created by Young Living Founder D. Gary Young, this blend was crafted to purify the air. Purification combines Citronella, Lavandin, Lemongrass, Rosemary Oil, Myrtle, and Tea Tree to uplift and cleanse the atmosphere. The plant sources for these oils come from many exotic and beautiful locations: Lemongrass is native to India, Guatemala, and other tropical countries; and Citronella originated in Sri Lanka. Purification utilizes these natural resources to brighten and freshen any space.
Key Ingredients
- Citronella - Known for its lemony, fresh scent, Citronella is a natural addition to many outdoor candles, insect repellants, and sunscreens to keep the pests at bay! This oil has a purifying aroma that kicks out odors and can also be used in cleaning routines to purify and cleanse your home.
- Lemongrass - Lemongrass is a household staple for many reasons. Its bright, crisp scent brings a smile to your face - it is a literal breath of fresh air that purifies and cleanses. Includes the naturally occurring constituents neral, geranial, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene which have wonderful health properties. It's also great for cleansing the skin!
- Tea Tree - A cleansing oil with a refreshing scent that eliminates odors, this versatile oil can be used for everything from home cleaning solutions to skin care. Tea Tree has been studied for many years for its ability to create an unfriendly environment for yeast, so it's a great addition to the Purification blend.
- Rosemary - This oil has a crisp, invigorating, herbal aroma that is cleansing and purifying. It's a key ingredient in the Thieves blend - our go to for anything cleaning or immune related! Rosemary is wonderful for heart health and helps support the immune and respiratory systems.
- Myrtle - Myrtle is another cleansing oil with purification properties, can be supportive to the thyroid, and helps support the immune system. Myrtle has also been studied for its soothing effects on the respiratory system, and can be used emotionally to process through feelings of deep despair to find hope.
- Lavadin - Closely related to Lavender, Lavandin has a similar aroma, though it is earthier and more cleansing as it has more camphor. This oil is soothing yet more alerting than Lavender and has deodorizing properties, making it a great choice for your beauty or cleaning routines.
Purification & Emotions
Did you know that the body physically stores our emotions? It does!
When we feel an emotion, especially a powerful one and/or one for a long period of time, our firing neurons release chemical messengers to tell our body what's happening. These compounds don't just go away, they get stored. And one place they get stored is the liver!
Our liver is a very important organ. It filters out the blood from our digestive systems as well as detoxifies our bodies from all the things we're exposed to daily - pollutants, chemicals, toxins, etc.
Traditional Chinese Medicine claims that the main emotion associated with the liver is Anger. Other emotions associated with the liver include Feeling Stubborn, Feeling rage, and Resentment. Many eastern practitioners also claim that a low-functioning liver or gallbladder can be due to years of suppressed anger and frustration, and when the anger is finally released it can produce manic behavior. (Hello rage-cleaning!!!)
So what does this mean for our emotions and where essential oils come in?
We can use oils that are supportive of the liver to help our bodies both physically and emotionally. Supporting the liver can help you process emotions and keep your anger in balance. Sometimes it will show you what is beneath the anger, and Purification is one of the best ones for this!
Purification helps with releasing Anger. It helps the body move past this emotion on the spectrum. Anger isn't a “bad” emotion. In fact, it is a very protective one! When we (or our kids) feel like (or do!) act out or explode, it is because we're protecting ourselves from bigger, scarier feelings. Anger is common for kids especially because they haven't learned how to process their emotions. So the next time you or your kids are feeling it, try this:
When you notice you or someone becoming angry or tense, grab Purification and inhale from the bottle, then apply over the liver (lower right abdomen). Verbalize what you're feeling. ‘I'm feeling angry and am going to try and let go of that. Help me think of something silly or funny since laughter is the other side of anger.” The quickest way to move anger through the body is with laughter! Modeling this for your kids helps them be able to do it themselves! If you are alone then you can simply say “I'm feeling angry and am going to try and let go of that.” and think of the funny thing on your own.
This process takes time and practice, but using oils for emotions can be a huge support tool!
