1. Dorado Azul essential oil<\/span><\/h2>\n

You’ve heard the phrase that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and in the case of Dorado Azul<\/a>, that couldn’t be truer. Native to Ecuador, the Dorado Azul plant was considered to be a useless weed- that is, until Young Living Founder D. Gary Young came across it and discovered there was more to it than met the eye. After distillation, the oil has a beautiful red color and a host of hidden benefits. To this day, this unique essential oil is only available at Young Living.<\/p>\n

How it smells:<\/strong><\/span> brisk, earthy, and herbaceous
\nWhere you know it:<\/strong><\/span> Deep Relief\u2122 Roll-On<\/a> and Animal Scents\u00ae Infect Away\u2122<\/a>
\nPlays well with:<\/strong><\/span> Juniper<\/a>, Cedarwood<\/a>, and Lime<\/a><\/p>\n

If you like Cool Azul\u00ae<\/a> and Peppermint<\/a>, you’ll like Dorado Azul.<\/strong><\/span>
\nChilly and refreshing, Dorado Azul offers a similar wake-you-up aroma to Peppermint but with a little more depth and character. It’s also the perfect addition to massage oils-hence it’s inclusion in the Cool Azul line of products.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

2. Hinoki essential oil<\/span><\/h2>\n

Another lesser-known essential oil, Hinoki<\/a> is produced from the carefully handpicked leaves of Japanese cypress trees. We love this EO for its clean scent and calming properties. Diffuse it during your yoga practice to invite a sense of peace and spiritual awareness. Or use the soothing scent to refresh your mind while you work or study.<\/p>\n

How it smells:<\/strong><\/span> light and woodsy with a zing of lemon

\n<\/strong>Hinoki has the familiar woodsy smell of an evergreen tree but with an unexpected burst of citrusy sweetness. Let the calming, peaceful aroma take you on a stroll through a secluded forest where majestic Japanese cypress trees stand tall.<\/p>\n<\/div>
