Awaken

What Awaken Is and Its Purpose

Young Living's Awaken is a unique blend of carefully selected essential oils crafted to inspire inner exploration and personal fulfillment. Its aromatic formulation has been developed with those moments in mind when you seek a spark of inspiration, greater mental clarity, or a boost to set and pursue new goals. It is not a magic elixir but an olfactory composition that, through aromatherapy, aims to create an environment conducive to introspection and personal development, serving as an aromatic companion on the path to self-discovery and motivation.

Composition and Active Ingredients

The Awaken blend is composed of a synergy of pure essential oils, each contributing its own olfactory and energetic characteristics. These include:

• Sandalwood essential oil (Santalum album): Appreciated for its sweet, woody, and balsamic aroma, traditionally associated with meditation and inner calm.
• Rosewood essential oil (Aniba rosaeodora): With a floral, sweet, and slightly spicy aroma, known for its comforting and uplifting qualities.
• Frankincense essential oil (Boswellia carterii): A resinous and warm aroma, historically used for introspection, spiritual connection, and promoting an atmosphere of peace.
• Melissa essential oil (Melissa officinalis): Possesses a fresh, citrusy, and herbaceous aroma, valued for its calming properties and its ability to promote feelings of well-being.
• Bergamot essential oil (Citrus bergamia): With a fresh, citrusy aroma, often used to uplift mood and reduce feelings of tension.

This combination seeks to harmonize earthy notes with floral and citrusy touches, creating a complex fragrance that may invite reflection and revitalization.

• If you seek emotional balance, consider using it with floral oils known for their balancing properties.

Usage Precautions

It is important to always follow safety guidelines when using essential oils.

• For external use only. Keep out of reach of children.
• As Awaken contains bergamot, a photosensitive oil, it is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure or UV rays for at least 12 hours after topical application to exposed skin.
• Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas.
• If irritation occurs, dilute with a carrier oil and discontinue use. Do not use water to dilute an essential oil in case of irritation.
• If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition, consult a healthcare professional before use.
• Store in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
