Monday Spotlight: PanAway Essential Oil

My husband just started doing the P90X workout routine and last week he was so sore that he struggled going up and down stairs!  The muscles in his legs were in such pain that he said Advil wasn't even helping.  After several suggestions about using some essential oils, he finally succumbed to my prodding (men make horrible patients!).  I put several drops of PanAway on the backs of my husband's legs and then used Young Living's V-6 carrier oil to further dilute and rub the PanAway into his sore muscles.  Within minutes he experienced relief and after two days of morning and evening application he was walking up and down the stairs with ease!

According to the Essential Oils Pocket Reference, PanAway reduces pain and inflammation, increases circulation, and accelerates healing.  It relieves swelling and discomfort from arthritis, sprains, muscle spasms and cramps, bumps, and bruises.

PanAway is a blend of the following essential oils:

• Helichrysum is a powerful anesthetic and analgesic and reduces pain from inflammation and muscle spasms.
• Wintergreen has strong anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties.  It is analgesic and reduces all types of pain
• Clove is used in the dental industry to numb gums and kill pain.  It is one of the most antimicrobial and antiseptic of all essential oils.
• Peppermint has powerful pain-blocking, anti-inflammatory, and antispasmodic properites.  A 1994 double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized, cross-over study at the University of Kiel in Germany found that peppermint oil had a significant analgesic effect.

In my reading I found a number of potential applications for PanAway:

• Dilute 1 part PanAway essential oil to 1 part carrier oil and use as massage oil for sore and tired muscles.
• Diffuse, directly inhale, or add 2-4 drops to bath water.
• Apply 1-2 drops on location or on temples, back of neck, or forehead.
• Apply 1-2 drops to hands to relieve arthritic pain.
• Rub 2-3 drops on the base of the spine to relieve sciatic pain.
• Add helichrysum can be added to enhance the effect of PanAway.
• Add wintergreen when the pain is bone related.

Testimonials:

"Recently I have started working out with a personal trainer. I had been less than active for quite awhile and as a result had aches in places I didn't know I had muscles. Rubbing PanAway from Young Living on the achy places resulted in no aches the following morning."

"I received my first bottle of PanAway last month and just in the nick of time! I was experiencing bad menstrual cramps and pain in my lower back. I applied a few drops of PanAway to my back and by the time I had straightened my clothes and started to lay down again, the pain was gone!! I have never in life had anything work so well or so quickly. PanAway is a Godsend and a must for every household."

"My dad had carpal tunnel in both wrists. He had surgery on one. It was so painful he did not want to go for the other. He has been using Panaway on it whenever he has pain. He is thankful there is something that he can do besides more surgery. He also uses panaway for arthritis in his knees, feet and shoulder. "
