Release

What is the Release Essential Oil Blend?

Young Living's Release blend is a carefully formulated blend, recognized for its distinctive and complex aroma, which seeks to create an atmosphere of calm and facilitate moments of personal reflection. Composed of a selection of pure essential oils, each component has been chosen for both its individual aromatic profile and its synergy with the others, resulting in a harmonious and enveloping fragrance.

Its olfactory profile is rich. It combines fresh, citrus notes with earthy, deep undertones, enhanced by subtle floral touches that add a balanced sweetness to the overall scent. This aroma is designed to evoke feelings of balance and well-being, making it an ideal complement for moments when a mental break or space for introspection is sought. The aromatic properties of the individual oils present in Release have been historically valued in various traditions for their potential to influence mood and the surrounding atmosphere.

Main Aromatic Composition

The Release blend is characterized by its complex bouquet, a result of the expert combination of several essential oils with complementary aromatic profiles. Although the exact formula is proprietary to Young Living, its main notes suggest the presence of:

• Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata): Contributes exotic, sweet, and slightly spicy floral notes, known for their calming qualities.
• Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia): Contributes its floral, herbaceous, and sweet aroma, widely associated with tranquility and well-being.
• Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens): Offers a sweet, rosy floral aroma with green undertones, appreciated for its ability to balance the mood.
• Sandalwood (Santalum album): Provides a woody, warm, and balsamic base that anchors the blend and promotes depth.
• Citrus (e.g., Tangerine or Lemon): Introduces a fresh, revitalizing, and optimistic spark that elevates the aromatic blend.
• Resinous/Woody Base (e.g., Copaiba Balsam or Fir): Provides earthy and long-lasting notes that enrich the aromatic background, fostering a sense of grounding.

This combination generates a unique aroma that is warm, slightly sweet, and deeply balancing, inviting inner peace and the release of tensions.

The Release blend is especially indicated for aromatic use, seeking to support an environment of serenity and emotional release in various situations:

• Promote Calm: Its aroma is valued for its ability to help create an environment that invites stillness and the management of daily stress.
• Moments of Reflection: It is ideal for accompanying practices such as meditation, yoga, or simply for moments of introspection, seeking to foster a clear mental space.

Recommended Use

The versatility of Release allows for several ways to enjoy its aromatic benefits:

• Diffusion: Add 3 to 5 drops to an essential oil diffuser to purify and aromatize the air in your home or office, creating an atmosphere of calm and balance. It is ideal for before bed, during study or work moments requiring concentration, or in relaxation spaces.
• Direct Inhalation: Apply 1-2 drops to the palm of your hands, rub them gently, and inhale the aroma deeply. You can also inhale directly from the bottle for a quick and effective aromatic experience.
• Diluted Topical Application: Dilute 1 drop of Release with 4-5 drops of a carrier vegetable oil (such as Young Living's V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex, fractionated coconut oil, or sweet almond oil). Apply to pulse points, temples, the nape of the neck, or behind the ears to enjoy its relaxing aroma locally. Perform a patch test on a small skin area before general application.
• Relaxing Massage: Mix a few drops of Release with a carrier vegetable oil for a gentle massage on shoulders, neck, or feet. This may help relax muscles and promote a sense of tranquility.

Aromatic Synergies

Release can be combined with other essential oils to create personalized aromatic profiles that enhance its qualities or add new dimensions:

• With Citrus: Combining with Wild Orange or Bergamot can add a fresher note and uplift the mood, while maintaining the calming base.
• With Florals: The addition of Rose or Jasmine can intensify the floral notes, creating a more luxurious and deeply relaxing aroma.
• With Woody/Earthy: Blending with Frankincense or Cedarwood can further anchor the blend, promoting meditation and grounding.
• With Peppermint: For moments of greater tension, a drop of Peppermint can add a touch that balances the profile and helps clear the mind.
