Say hello to our new old BFF – the OG Valor! Crafted with historical inspiration from Roman soldiers who used these essential oils to inspire courage before battle, this blend is a great companion for moments of challenge and self-empowerment. Carry it with you wherever you go for a boost of its uplifting, woodsy aroma as you take on the day!

JUST A DROP OF ORIGINAL VALOR

• A powerful and inviting combination of Black Spruce, Rosewood, Frankincense, and Blue Tansy
• Great for inspiration while you are working on building confidence during challenging moments or tasks
• Features Rosewood essential oil, which contains high levels of linalool, known for its soothing, calming properties
• Creates a grounded environment for yoga and meditation
• Can be used while you work on overcoming things that are holding you back

If you're saying, ‘wait, don't we already have a Valor blend?', you're right! The Original Valor contains Rosewood essential oil. Rosewood became very hard to source sustainably and ethically, so Young Living created an alternate version of Valor using Cedarwood. Rosewood is a protected species, and Young Living worked hard to establish a sustainable source of Rosewood in Brazil. Since establishing this source, the original Valor blend is back!

BACKGROUND Originally formulated by Young Living Founder D. Gary Young, the Valor blend is a long-standing member favorite. Its one-of-a-kind formula was inspired by historical writings about Roman soldiers who were said to apply plant extracts and botanicals to inspire courage and confidence before going into battle.

KEY CONSTITUENTS Alpha-pinene, Linalool, Limonene, Sabinene, Chamazulene, Beta-caryophyllene

KEY INGREDIENTS Each essential oil in the blend was carefully selected for its unique benefits, and when you combine them, you get a really wonderful, really emotionally supportive blend!

• Black Spruce: This oil is emotionally calming and grounding and has a rich, woodsy aroma that helps release emotional blocks and foster a sense of balance. It is also wonderful for muscles and joints!
• Blue Tansy: Blue Tansy is wonderful for calming the nervous system and has a lightly sweet, inspiring scent. Emotionally, this oil can help overcome anger, release negative emotions and promote a feeling of self-control
• Frankincense: Frankincense is calming, yet uplifting, and has an earthy aroma as well as immune support and skin-loving properties! This oil also has the ability to stimulate the limbic center of the brain, elevating the mind and mood and helping center the emotions.
• Rosewood: This oil is incredibly soothing and relaxing to both the mind and body! Rosewood has a rich, herbaceous scent that is grounding and strengthening

Using Original Valor for support can be as simple as applying some to your shoulders, the bottoms of your feet, the back of your neck, or anywhere that you're experiencing tension or a stressful tightness in your body. It's the ultimate diffuser oil with its deep, grounding fragrance.

One great technique is to place a drop or two of Valor between your wrists (palm-up side), and then hold them together for a few minutes. If you're taking time to relax, meditate, or work on your spiritual and emotional health, you can just hold your wrists together while you're sitting quietly.
