PanAway

Botanical Origin of Components

PanAway is a distinctive Young Living blend that combines several pure essential oils, each with its own aromatic and botanical profile. The main components include:

• Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens): Known for its minty and camphoraceous aroma, it is extracted from the leaves by steam distillation.
• Clove (Syzygium aromaticum): Comes from the dried flower buds of the clove tree, and its oil is prized for its warm, spicy aroma.
• Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum): Also called Everlasting, this oil is obtained from the plant's flowers, offering a herbaceous and honey-like aroma.
• Peppermint (Mentha piperita): A classic powerful oil distilled from the plant's leaves.

The careful selection and proportion of these botanicals contribute to PanAway's aromatic and topical properties.

Main Chemical Composition

PanAway's effectiveness lies in the synergy of its chemical components, highlighting:

• Methyl salicylate: Present in wintergreen, it is a natural ester known for its characteristic aroma and properties. Abundant in clove, it is a phenol with a warm, spicy aroma.
• Alpha-pinene and gamma-curcumene: Important compounds in helichrysum, which give it part of its aromatic notes.
• Menthol and menthone: The main terpenes of peppermint, responsible for its distinctive and stimulating effect.

This combination of esters, phenols, and terpenes creates a balanced chemical profile that is key to the aromatic experience and skin sensations that PanAway provides.

Aromatic Profile

PanAway offers a complex and multifaceted olfactory experience. Its aroma is predominantly fresh and minty, with camphoraceous notes and an underlying sweet and spicy touch. Wintergreen and peppermint provide the main fresh and penetrating character, while clove adds a spicy warmth that anchors it. Helichrysum rounds out the blend with subtle herbaceous nuances and a sweet touch, creating an aroma that is both invigorating and comforting.

Uses in Aromatherapy

In aromatherapy, PanAway is valued for its ability to offer a cooling and soothing sensation. It is a popular choice for moments when a comforting effect is sought after exercise or periods of tension. Its aromatic profile may help create an atmosphere of calm and recovery. It is ideal for localized massages, where its aroma can enhance the sense of well-being.

How to Use

PanAway is versatile in its application:

• Topical: Dilute 1-3 drops with 10 ml of a carrier oil (such as Young Living's V-6 Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex, fractionated coconut oil, or almond oil) and apply to the skin in desired areas for a refreshing sensation. Diffuse for up to 30 minutes, three times a day, to purify the air and enjoy its invigorating aroma. You can also inhale directly from the bottle or from a cotton ball.
• Bath: Add a few drops to a cup of Epsom salts in a warm bath for a relaxing experience.

It is recommended to perform a patch test on the skin before extensive application.
