How we use PanAway Essential Oil

On to the 4th post in my essential oils series.  We're going through each oil in the Premium Starter Kit and how we use them in our home!

However, each family uses them in their own way and will find different uses!  We find new ways to apply them every day :) 

So Young Living's PanAway blend has the following oils in it:

• Wintergreen - Warming, soothing for tension and muscle soreness
• Helichrysum - Helpful with muscle tension or other discomfort
• Clove - principal constituent is eugenol, which is used in the dental industry to numb the gums
• Peppermint - Very cooling when applied topically and can be very soothing!

It was formulated by Gary Young after a severe injury to the ligaments in his leg!  Yes, it works THAT well!


PanAway is a powerful blend of 4 very powerful oils!!

We absolutely love the smell and the topical results we feel!

Here is how we use it!

Occasional head discomfort due to tension
Pretty sure I've mentioned more than once that I have always dealt with headaches and was SO thankful to find relief with essential oils!

Most of the time, Peppermint will do the trick, but for a bad headache I know I need something a little stronger!

So for headaches, I rub a drop of PanAway into my temples, forehead, neck, and even shoulders!

If I need extra help, I'll follow that with Peppermint, which will really drive it in as well as intensify the effects of the PanAway.

Minor Leg Pain
I get aches in my legs occasionally that my mother tells me are from my varicose veins that The Lord allowed me to inherit from her ;)

Anyway, my entire leg will get very sore from my thigh, all the way down through my calf.  

At the first sign, I'll grab PanAway and simply rub it into my legs!!  I rub it into the area that I feel the pain is more concentrated in.  

When covering a larger area, it's really beneficial to use a carrier oil, so I usually apply it with coconut oil.

Occasional Aches in Back after Excercise
PanAway is really effective in soothing my back discomfort.

Whether it's my lower back from sitting or standing too long, or my side from holding my 20 pounder for too long, when I'm sore I'll grab PanAway.

Simply rub a few drops into the sore area.  I love the cooling effect of it! 

In fact, one night I applied some to my back right before I went to sleep.  I didn't bother turning the light on, and apparently I put several drops in my hand because my back felt VERY cool after a couple minutes! 

Stiff Neck
Same goes for the neck.  Put a few drops on and rub in real well whenever you're sore!

Supporting Normal Healing
So I have a story for this one.

My 4 year old got smacked in the face, RIGHT above her eye with the corner of a door a few months back.

It literally THREW her on her back.  It hit her hard.  She was in tears and there was an immediate vertical bruise on her head in the shape of the corner of the door.  

I felt so bad.  And on top of the pain and the terrible looking bruise, it was actually my fault that she got hit!

Anyway, as SOON as we got home, just 5 minutes or so later, I applied PanAway to her bruise that was already blue and super swollen.
 

Yes...I took a picture

I rubbed only 1/2 a drop in twice right before bed.  I made sure to ask her if it felt too cold or sensitive.  If this happened, I would have just layered coconut oil over it, but it didn't!

So the next morning, she woke up and the girl had no bruise.  No swelling.  Was no longer blue.

 She didn't feel any pain after that!

I was amazed!

Several days later, the spot did turn a little yellow for a day and then left!
 
I've since had more success using PanAway healing these kind of issues...needless to say, anytime someone gets a big bonk, we grab it!!

Monthly Cramps
I think most women reading can relate to this one!

When I've got cramps, I have a few different oils to choose from, actually! 

And one way to relieve the cramps is to apply PanAway to the abdomen and cover with a warm compress.

Muscle Aches
When the muscles are sore after excercise, application of PanAway can definitely help relieve the pain!

It's really just as complicated as the other ways that we use it....we take a few drops out and rub it into the affected area!


Young Living has several oils that assist in soothing common discomforts and they've chosen to put this one in the Premium Starter Kit!  Such a great value!!  

I absolutely love PanAway and I'm nursing along the last of this bottle!  I'd hate to be out of it! ;)

I can't stress enough how thankful we are that we can make better decisions regarding our family's health.  We are no longer reaching for PILLS!  We are reaching for our oils :)  

If you haven't tried using essential oils yet, please contact me.  I'd be glad to give you a sample of something that might help you in whatever area you need help with.

I am loving this journey toward wellness and a more natural lifestyle!!
