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 diffuse Peace & Calming so the kids and I can take a break from the tantrums and crying.
Hey there! Thank you. Favorite oils for peace and comfort. Peace & Calming and Stress Away so far!! :)
Valor and Frankincense are definitely my go to oils for comfort. There are so many options that Young Living has though. I could probably name at least five more! haha
Joy should be added to the list! It’s one of my faves. Put it on with Valor everyday. Love my oils!
I love to diffuse Orange and Northern Lights Black Spruce when I need to feel grounded. It’s like a hug from Mother Nature.
I like NLBS with Citrus Fresh.
Oooh! Going to try this right now! 💛 Thanks for the suggestion!
I am new to YL, I havent tried any of these yet….how amazing would it be to win!! So far I’ve tried Peace and calming and I love Frankincense for everything!!
Lavender and Stress away are my relaxation go tos. I would love to try one of these. They sound wonderful.
I’ve never tried any of these blends and would like too. Thank you for the opportunity to win.
My favorites for peace and comfort are frankincense for my prayer time and lavender for rest. I have always wanted to try valor and Present time, so reading about them has reinvigorated my desire to try them and to EARN them through my yl business!
Valor is so calming to me and smells amazing. It gives me the courage to face my frustrations, fears and failures. Frankincense would be my next go to oil which I use on a daily basis to keep me balanced in life!
I’d love to win a hug in a bottle :) My favorite comfort oils are lavendar, peppermint and rosemary (especially rosemary and mint mixed together).
I don’t have any of these yet but have smelled my friends Valor and it’s amazing. I love using Frankinsence and Peace & Calming for peace and calming :)
Northern Lights Black Spruce is one of my all-time favorites! Diffusing this wonderful oil makes me feel relaxed, comforted, and grounded.
A few favs for me are Vetiver, Highest Potential, Valor, Sacred Mtn & Peace & Calming – these calm me more than Stress Away. Sacred Mtn is my husbands ALL TIME fav – probably my 2nd – Highest Potential is my FAV
These oils will be great to compliment my Tranquil, StressAway and Peace & Calming, my go to oils for those kind of days or any day for that matter. I would love to add these to my YL collection!
I just put Present Time in my hair! I’ve been dying to try Sacred Mountain.
I still consider myself new to Young Living and essential oils but I love the journey so far! I love diffusing Valor or Peace & Calming when I need some uplifting. Joy is also another favorite. This weekend I spent some time in the ER for the first time ever. It was a scary experience for me especially since my significant other is overseas. I just wanted to get home and diffuse some oils to calm my spirit and mind.
Peace and Calming, or Stress Away and Lavender for sure! 💜
I love my essential oils! Last night after working two 12 hour shifts I felt tired and frazzled. I used Grounding in my diffuser and instantly felt more peaceful and was able to get a great night of sleep. Thank you Young Living for helping me find peace in a crazy world:)
What a wonderful giveaway!! I currently have valorII and I use grounding and ValorII or Peace and Calming as my go to for hugs in a bottle!!
I just put a Present Time in my hair! I’ve been dying to try Savred Mountain.
Valor
Love, love, love Valor. It is a daily oil for us at our house. I would love to try some of the others!
Love Valor.
Valor is my absolute favorite when feeling overwhelmed and needing to feel at peace. Paired with prayer and it’s always a win!
I could definitely use all of these oils!! Some days are harder to get through than others but my recent start with Young Living has helped immensely! I use Stress Away regularly but am always looking for new options!
I would love to win these oils. My favorites for calming are lavender, valor, and orange.
I love so many oils but find comfort from Stress Away, Peace and Calming and of course Valor.. Still haven’t tried many of the blends and excited to!
Valor is certainly one of my favorite oils for peace & comfort!
Commenting to enter: excited to try these oils!
I have 3 kids. 10, 7, 9 month old. I’m new to being a stay at home mom. Iv always worked. When i started staying home I have more anxiety, break downs and depression. I don’t go to the doc for depressants. Iv been on them before. Not a good thing. I would love to win these oil. To try them out. To be a more happy mommy.
When I’m feeling down, I always turn to Joy and White Angelica. I’ve used Valor multiple times for courage. I’m anxious to try out the others and add the ones I don’t have to my ER order.
Thanks
After my husband left for deployment a couple months ago and being left in a new place and knowing very few people, I put Frankincense on the back of my neck, Valor and Joy interchangeably over my heart and on my wrists, and Lavender for comfort and to invoke a calm. He comes back before Thanksgiving and I know that these oils added to my collection would definitely have some heavily desired benefits to create the happy and healthy environment me and my pup need.
You can never have enough hugs! They say you need four a day for mental health, so these bottles should cover that. ;-)
Thank you for all the info on this blog!
I love Grounding for, well…grounding. But all of these suggestions sound so good and I don’t have any of those blends!
I just recently received my first bottle of valor and I am really enjoying it. I would love to try these other blends for day to day use.
Love my Valor! I need to try those other oils. I love hugs!
What a blessing this would be! 💜
Of the oils described here, Valor is the only one I’ve tried so far (still pretty new here). It is truly magical!
I use a lot of these for peace and comfort. Peace and calming is another favorite, as well as stress away. I have not tried Hope blend, yet, but looking forward to!
Peace and calming is my fave
I love my Peace & Calming blend. It’s essential to me being able to function.

Oh I’d love to win! I love Peace and Calming, Valor, and Vetiver are some of my favorites💕
Envision is my favorite comfort oil! My hubby loves the Sacred Mountain bar soap.
There are so many great oils that I use for peace and comfort. “HOPE” is on my wish list, but I use Valor every day!
I love these “hugs”! I’d take these hugs any day!
Hands down VALOR went to the top of my list when I FINALLY (after only being with the Young Living family one year) was able to see for myself what all the excitement was about when it came back in stock- that along with Peace & Calming ( also back after a long time out of stock) and my first favorite stress reducing standby STRESS AWAY which I used first from my PSK even before setting up my diffuser for the first time! <3
It would be an amazing opportunity to explore the oils for Emotional support! I have come to Love oils but have not had the chance to use these oils.
Thanks for the Great tips and information to learn!
