PanAway

suep — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 15:46:35 +0000

PanAway is a Young Living blend of therapeutic grade essential oils, there are no carrier oils so this is a powerful blend that you might want to dilute – though for most is not necessary. If you dilute this oil it can be helpful if used for massaging a large area like the back. The PanAway blend has helichrysum-a powerful anti-inflammatory and helps heal tissue and nerve damage. Wintergreen is strongly anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic, warms the skin and helps with pain relief. Clove oil is another pain relieving oil and is also a strong antiseptic. Peppermint is the last of the PanAway oils and is a powerful pain reliever, anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic. To enhance the effects of PanAway, apply peppermint oil on top to drive the PanAway deeper into the tissue. Applying a warm compress or rice pack on top can be soothing as well.

We use PanAway as first line of defense with a bump or fall. We were climbing rocks a few days ago and I fell onto my elbow. I could tell from the instant pain it was a hard fall. I applied PanAway as soon as I could stand on solid ground. The pain subsided in a minute and I never got a bruise. This is a typical result in our family. One of the boys accidentally through a football directly into my friend’s face, right by the eye. After my initial humiliation of the event I quickly grabbed my PanAway and applied it around my friend’s eye-being very careful not to get it in the eye. I was imagining the black eye that would result from this impact. It never bruised. The sooner you can get an essential oil onto injury the quicker the body can start repairing the tissue. In the medical community it is common knowledge that pain sensations cause stress in the body which slows down the healing process. Don’t tough it out if you have PanAway on hand. Apply the essential oils as soon as you can and your recovery time (and bruising) could be much less.

Growing Pains

It’s been a while since any of the kids woke with growing pains, but this morning my 12 year old woke with a severe one in his calf. I rubbed on it 2 drops of Panaway and layed a warm rice pack on top. He’s now sleeping again – and no pain meds needed – I wouldn’t have even considered it. My second oil of choice would have been Copaiba if the Panaway was not working. Panaway is one of several Young Living blends that are powerful natural alternatives to over the counter pain meds. It has wintergreen, clove, helichrysum and peppermint. I don’t always like to use it at nighttime as the peppermint can be stimulating and might keep one awake. I new I wouldn’t have to worry about my growing teenager with this. I’ve also used one of their roll-on blends: Deep Relief roll-on which has peppermint, wintergreen, copaiba and Palo Santo essential oils. Aroma Siez is another blend that might be useful for growing pains.

One reason I like Young Living products is Gary Young has formulated some great blends like Panaway, Deep Relief Roll-on and Aroma Siez that contain some expensive oils like helichrysum. You don’t have to purchase all the different oils to mix up a recipe and you get synergistic blend of powerful oils that is greater than the individual oils themselves.

Managing Headaches With Essential Oils

Headaches can be caused by a number of things including hormone imbalances, blood sugar imbalances, stress, spinal irregularities and inflammation. Many over the counter medications offer temporary relief only to have a rebound effect once medications have worn off. I know if several individuals who personally have been attached to their OTC medications for headaches. Since everyone has different causes of headaches and different body chemistry, the oils that help them find relief from headaches may vary. These are only suggestions of essential oils that might help – Many essential oils have wonderful anti-inflammatory properties which might alleviate pressure. When applying oils to the temples be sure to keep them away from the eyes. Single oils that might be helpful include: Peppermint which is very cooling and anti-inflammatory, wintergreen, lavender, copaiba, valerian, chamomile (Roman & German), clove, rosemary, Eucalyptus globulus. I know if individuals who use Lemon oil on the big toe – which in reflexology is connected with the brain. You can consult your Essential Oils Desk Reference for the full Reflexology Chart.

Young Living has several blends of oils that might be useful for managing a headache: M-Grain (marjoram,lavender,peppermint,basil,Roman chamomile, helichrysum) Brain Power (frankincense,sandalwood,melissa,cedarwood,blue cypress,lavender,helichrysum) Clarity, Deep Relief Roll On (cardamom,rosemary,peppermint,basil,bergamot,geranium,jasmine,lemon,palmarosa,Roman chamomile,rosewood,ylang ylang) (peppermint,lemon,Idaho balsam fir,Copaiba,clove,wintergreen,helichrysum,vetiver,Palo Santo) and Relieve It (spruce, black pepper, peppermint, hyssop).

Brain Power essential oil blend

suep — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 16:56:53 +0000

Brain power is a powerful blend of oils with high sesquiterpenes. The higher the sesquiterpenes, the more effective the oils are at bringing oxygen to the brain. This can help with mental clarity and increased activity in the pineal, pituitary and hypothalamus glands which can affect output of growth hormone and melatonin. The oils in this blend can help dissolve petrochemicals that have accumulated in brain tissue that might contribute to “brain fog”. When these chemicals are dissolved, the brain receptors can work more efficiently. Several of the oils in this blend are anti-inflammatory (melissa, frankincense,blue cypress,lavender) lavender is a vasodilator, helichrysum helps heal tissue and nerve damage making this blend useful for head trauma or headaches. This blend is effective when inhaled directly and applying 1-2 drops on the back of the neck, throat, temples or under the nose. This blend includes sandalwood, melissa, helichrysum, cedarwood, blue cypress, frankincense, lavender and no fillers or diluted oils.
