It’s been SO frustrating for SO long! After all, as a qualified Clinical Aromatherapist and a long-time essential oil lover I KNOW just how amazing, practical and useful essential oils are. There are so many therapeutic properties of essential oils. So, I’ve longed to be able to shout all their therapeutic, health-giving properties from the rooftops.
But due to TGA regulations – Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration – I haven’t been able to share any therapeutic claims about the benefits of so many Young Living essential oils. Until now!
Young Living Wellness Essential Oils – therapeutic properties of essential oils
Young Living has just released their first batch of Wellness essential oils. This range of essential oils has some amazing claims listed with the TGA! Now, don’t misunderstand me – although they come with a white label, the oils inside the bottles are the very same pure, powerful ones that Young Living have been selling all along. But with the release of Young Living’s Wellness oils range we can now talk freely about the incredible therapeutic properties of these powerful essential oils.
So, without further ado, let me introduce you to six of Young Living’s new Wellness essential oils and EXACTLY what they can do for you!
Note – legally I have to include the dosage form and the active ingredients for each one, in case you’re wondering. Of course, in the case of Young Living’s single oils – the only active ingredient they have is 100% PURE essential oil – ethically and sustainably sourced with love, devotion and commitment!
Clary Sage Wellness Essential Oil
(5ml/15ml liquid; active ingredients – Clary Sage oil; used topically, inhalation or aromatically)*
Firstly, I’ll start with my personal favourite! If you’ve read any of my articles before on ‘happy women’ you’ll know that when it comes to single essential oils I endorse Clary Sage as a woman’s ‘best friend’. Until now, I haven’t been able to ‘clary-fy’ the therapeutic benefits of this beautiful oil. So, here they are!
Clary Sage is traditionally used in Aromatherapy to:
- regulate a healthy menstrual cycle
- promote menstrual flow
- relieve menstrual cramps and pain
- relieve fatigue and feelings of weakness
