Essential Oils

Chances are you’ve either heard about or experienced the power of essential oils personally. Essential oils are volatile organic compounds consisting of terpenes and oxygenated compounds that are the extraction by application of distillation to a plant. It is another means of pulling the healing properties from a plant. These components can not only create a shift in mood alteration, but are also often anti-bacterial and anti-microbial which makes them fabulous for breathing into our lungs when we are consistently exposed to bacteria and viruses in our busy lives.

Many essential oils are used in the practice of aromatherapy as well as topical applications to skin and even some are used very carefully internally and taken orally.  At YAO we strive to provide our customers with a high quality essential oil based extraction while at the same time doing what we do best which is creating a balanced formula that can be applied to shift any imbalance.

We have three lovely oil blends that can be used medicinally  in a diffuser, in a bath, in a bowl to steam your face and even applied with dry brush to skin or blended with an oil. We have found that there are other companies that purport to have a woman’s blend or an immune blend, but we are very very pleased with the high quality formula that we have developed. It’s effectiveness is truly phenomenal.

Cypress, Red Mandarin, Blue Yarrow, Bay Laurel, Rosemary, Ginger – This blend is specially designed to penetrate locally into the skin via direct transport when using a dry brush application.  Only a couple of drops are needed which makes this pricier item a lot more economical in use.  It has a beautiful blue color from the  Blue Yarrow. All ingredients work easily into the skin and directly effect the skin and circulation (from wound healing, muscle tightness/cramping relief, wrinkles, spider/vericose veins, scars, etc) thereby penetrating easily into the lymphatic system right below the skins’ surface.

Cypress, Ravensara, Juniper Berry, Bay Laurel, Red Mandarin, Eucalyptus, Lime, Tea Tree – This power house of immune boosting anti-bacterial/microbial/viral oils act quickly in diffuser and steam administration to penetrate the bronchial pathways. Wonderful for reducing inflammation when stuffed up or coughing while additionally stimulating production of white blood cells creating a fast acting immune response.  We highly recommend this when around those with colds or flu as well as when one is fighting it off themselves. Administer in diffuser or steam bath inhalation.

Cypress, Grapefruit, Clary Sage, Bay Laurel, Rosemary, Eucalyptus, Sweet Fennel, Ravensara, Vitex – Do not use when pregnant or on birth control pills. This is a strong mood lifter and feminine hormone regulating blend. Great for pre-menstrual, menstrual cycles and peri-menopause/menopause conditions. During times of the month when things may look grim, memory may be compromised and physical symptoms of discomfort may abound, YAO’s Vital Yin will be just the trick to balance and tonify – mental/physical/emotional vitality.

Additionally, we sell single essential oils for you to use for a variety of personal formulations or for their natural properties individually.  At present we have the following oils:
