Hug in a bottle: An essential oil guide to uplift and inspire

Some days your skies are clear, blue, and beautiful—and some days your picnic plans are interrupted with an unexpected storm warning. But don’t worry! Ruined plans can be a bummer, but the sun will come out again soon. In the meantime, try one of these essential oil blends that will remind you of getting a great, big hug!

 

SARA: a hug for comfort

SARA™ is a sweet blend of Geranium, Ylang Ylang, and Rose. Think of SARA as a big sister, ready to wrap you up in a quilt, hand you a cup of cocoa, and comfort you with compassion. Try rubbing a drop of this blend onto your wrists when you feel like you could use a listening ear. Dilute it with a few drops of a carrier oil to keep your skin happy.

 

Present Time: a hug for gratitude

If you have way too many alarms set on your phone, an ever-growing to-do list, or a pile of dirty dishes that keeps doubling in size, you might want to reach for Present Time™. Diffuse this delicate scent as you take a minute to reconnect with the present and let go of the expectations you have for yourself. Once you feel calmer, consider doing those dishes before the leftovers grow legs!

 

Release: a hug for liberation

Ready to let go of some of the “nope” from your day? Throw on some jams, roll out your yoga mat, and diffuse Release™. After stretching out and focusing on your breathing, you might just feel like saying, “Heck yes!” instead.

Grounding: a hug from Mother Nature

Sometimes all we need is a little nature. Even if you can’t get outside, you can connect with your roots by taking a tech detox for a few hours while diffusing Grounding™. This blend of White Fir, Black Spruce, and Pine combines into a forest-inspired aroma. Close your eyes and breathe in the scent of the great outdoors as you enjoy some quiet time.

 

Hope: a hug for optimism

Looking for some sunshine? Try a little Hope™. While it can’t really change the weather, it might just be the bright spot on a dark day. This gentle blend can be added to a favorite lotion, diffused, or applied topically.

 

Peace & Calming: a hug for calm

Couldn’t we all use a little more Peace & Calming® in our lives? This gentle blend is one of our most popular essential oil blends, and for good reason! Whether you need a bear hug or are trying to settle in for a night’s hibernation, diffusing this scent adds a special something to the end of a long day.

Gathering: a hug for connection

It can be hard to gather your thoughts after a long day. Or gather your family for dinner. Or gather strength to keep up on your goals. Sound familiar? Try diffusing Gathering™ as you turn daily chaos into calmness by journaling, meditating, or writing an award-worthy to-do list.

  • I LOVE Valor. I think I'm addicted as I can't stop inhaling! It smells so fantastic and is so comforting...It makes me feel happy!

  • In March of this year the hospital where I had been working for 7 years filed bankruptcy and closed its doors within days. I enjoyed my work but more importantly my coworkers had become more like family. We were scattered all over at different hospitals and I have felt a sense of loss. I have been using Acceptance, Hope and Valor to help me get through those times. I just love, love, love my Young Living Essential Oils!!!!!

  • What an awesome combination! It's been a tough year and I could use the extra help.

  • In March of this year the hospital where I work filed bankruptcy and we were without employment within days. The problem is my coworkers had become my family and I felt and often still feel a sense of loss. I have been using Acceptance, Hope and Valor to give me those special hugs when I need them. I love, love, love my Young Living Essential Oils!!!!

  • I haven't tried any of these but would like to try Valor for the back to school stress. Stress Away is big with the kids but I would like to see if Valor would help with the new school nerves.

  • I love stress away but my new favorite that I love to put in my diffuser necklace is En R Gee! I still have to try Valor!!! I haven't had a chance to order it now that it's back in stock!

  • Valor is the perfect oil for my profession. I use it often when delivering difficult news to my patients and their families.

  • I just recently started with all my oils, and I absolutely love them. I was getting chronic sinus infections a very couple of months for a year, and since using oils and my allergy roller, I haven't had a single one. I am always looking for different recipes and diffusing different combos at home and at work. I really like vetiver and valor together in my diffuser at work, and so does everyone else. I am always researching and learning more about oils. I just wish I got on the band wagon sooner. :)
