BACKGROUND This proprietary roll-on contains Rue (Ruta), Valerian, and Lavender essential oils, and is unique to Young Living.

Lavender and relaxation go hand in hand as this plant has been used for centuries for its calming properties. Young Living Lavender is sourced from sustainable and scalable operations, including Young Living Lavender farms in Mona, Utah, USA; St. Maries, Idaho, USA; and Simiane-la-Rotonde, France.

Valerian is a perennial flowering plant native to Europe and Asia with a documented history of use extending back to ancient Greek and Roman times. Described by Hippocrates in detail, both the herb and the roots were traditionally used for a variety of purposes and conditions.

Rue (Ruta) belongs to the Rutaceae family, commonly known as the rue or citrus family, of flowering plants. This essential oil comes from Young Living's Finca Botanica Farm and Distillery in Chongon, Ecuador, and it is included in RutaVaLa and Common Sense essential oil blends as well as Sleep Essence capsules.

KEY INGREDIENTS The three oils in this blend have wonderful properties that can help both the mind and body find stillness and serenity. Each key ingredient in this blend has wonderful benefits on its own, but when you add them together, you get a blend that is extremely calming for both the mind and body.

  • Lavender: Lavender is synonymous with calming and relaxing, making it a vital part of this trio. Lavender has a lightly sweet, herbaceous aroma that can be used to create routines for our minds to recognize that it is time to rest. Lavender can also help us calm racing, anxious thoughts when used intentionally!
  • Valerian: Has a calming, grounding, musky aroma that is conducive to deep, restful sleep. Valerian has been used for sleep support for centuries, and the herb itself has been used in teas to promote sleep.
  • Rue (Ruta): Also called the ‘herb of grace' Rue (Ruta) essential oil has an aroma that may help you unwind and ground yourself in the present moment, and it is great to incorporate as you wind down as part of your evening routine.
