Lime, Ocotea, Jasmine, Chamomile, Blue tansy (highly supportive and calming to the Central Nervous System), and Rose oils that works to release stored and stuck emotions by stimulating the pineal gland, which connects our sense of smell to our memory and emotions.

BACKGROUND Formulated by Young Living Founder D. Gary Young, Release is an emotional blend of high frequency essential oils, making them a powerful tool for allowing us to tap into the root of our emotional distress, honor the past experiences and release the pain to move forward in our full potential.

RELEASE & EMOTIONS Release is a helpful blend to aid in releasing anger and memory trauma from the liver in order to create emotional wellbeing. It helps open the subconscious mind through pineal stimulation (sandalwood and tansy stimulate the pineal gland) to release deep-seated trauma. For our purposes, trauma can be defined as “any situation where you got less than you needed and were not equipped to process it.” These traumas actually get stored deep within our cellular memory, and we can use the limbic system of the brain to help shift our thoughts and emotions around these traumas and patterns.

• Anger
• Frustration
• Being held back
