PanAway is STRONG stuff. It is Young Living's signature soothing blend and I'm so glad I got to try it in my Premium Starter Kit. This blend alone was enough to convince me that essential oils are the real deal since I have used it very successfully to relieve menstrual cramps and so much more. It has honestly changed my life as one of my main go-to roll-on blends. Plus, it smells oh so fresh, minty, and calming.
Young Living says: "PanAway® has a stimulating aroma and is a popular and original combination of Wintergreen, Helichrysum, Clove, and Peppermint essential oils formulated by D. Gary Young. This blend is ideal to apply topically after exercise, and supports the appearance of healthy skin coloration. The essential oils in PanAway include naturally occurring constituents methyl salicylate, gamma-curcumene, menthol, and eugenol."
First, we have Wintergreen. Not only does it have strong soothing properties, but it also enhances the other oils it's blended with, making this a powerful blend. It supports the nervous, circulatory and muscular systems and also supports the liver.
Since it is so strong it can cause minor allergic reactions in some so always dilute and do a skin patch test prior to use. If you find you are allergic or want something similar but milder for children I highly suggest purchasing separately and blending the other ingredients in this blend because they are just as amazing. The blends Valor and Owie for kids, would also be excellent substitutes.
Then there is the miraculous Helichrysum. It is a powerful, comforting and uplifting oil that can be fairly expensive to purchase on its own so it's an amazing find in this blend. Helichrysum especially supports the circulatory, muscular, and nervous systems.
Next is Clove - one of the most powerful essential oil antioxidants, cleansers, and soothers. It is very high in eugenol, a substance that dentists routinely used to numb gums and teeth. I have been using Thieves, another blend with quite a lot of Clove, to help my sensitive teeth and the difference has been truly amazing. With the highest antioxidant rating known among essential oils, it supports overall wellness and youthful vitality.
Finally, there is Peppermint. Peppermint is energizing, cooling, calming, and relieving. It supports the respiratory and digestive systems, and is ideal for supporting an active and athletic lifestyle, making this blend the perfect go-to for before and after workouts.
Specific Blends & Uses:
- Diffuse with Cinnamon Bark to energize, support the respiratory system, and create a holiday, homey atmosphere.
- Diffuse with Lemon to uplift and energize and support the respiratory and immune systems.
- Combine in a roll-on blend with Frankincense, Lavender, and Copaiba to soothe discomfort, cool, calm, and support skin health, liver health, circulatory and muscular systems. Use before and after strenuous activity or a difficult day to center, energize, and soothe.
