Australian Ericafolia—also known as Lavender Tea Tree—is a rare and precious oil that offers a gentle yet powerful presence in your essential oil collection. With its sweet, herbaceous aroma, it bridges the relaxing qualities of Lavender with the cleansing and clarifying action of Tea Tree. This synergy makes it a must-have for skin care enthusiasts, emotional wellness advocates, and natural home lovers alike.

BACKGROUND

Australian Ericifolia essential oil comes from wildcrafted populations of Melaleuca ericifolia grown on Flinders Island in Tasmania. The bright plant grows 10−26 feet tall around the coast and hilly slopes. The oil is steam distilled from the entire plant plant, yielding a fresh, camphoraceous scent softened by subtle floral notes.

With an aroma and benefits often compared to Tea Tree, Australian Ericifolia is a member of the same family as this essential oil favorite (Myrtaceae – myrtle family). Only select populations are harvested to ensure oil consistency and sustainability.

This oil is incredibly versatile—gentle enough for sensitive skin but effective enough to purify and protect. It’s perfect for those who love the relaxing essence of Lavender and the clean, clarifying properties of Tea Tree. Use it to soothe blemishes, freshen your complexion, or elevate your meditation practice. It’s also a household favorite for natural cleaning and air purification.

AUSTRALIAN ERICAFOLIA & SKINCARE

Australian Ericafolia is a gentle powerhouse when it comes to skin health. Its unique combination of soothing and purifying constituents makes it ideal for both daily skincare and occasional first-aid needs. Whether you're managing blemishes, calming irritation, or simply looking to glow naturally, this oil belongs in your beauty ritual.

The linalool and viridiflorol content gives it a calming touch perfect for sensitive or reactive skin, while β-pinene and 1,8-cineole help cleanse pores and refresh the complexion. It’s gentle enough for facial use but effective enough to handle minor cuts, scrapes, and breakouts.

ESSENTIAL OILS

When you have a cough or cold or feel one coming on, you just want to be comfortable – especially if you still have to work, travel, or take care of your children or loved ones! (click on the individual oil pictures to learn more about the oil)

Thieves Essential Oil Blend:

This blend is our go-to for all things immune system related! It's the blend infused into the chest rub and cough drops we just talked about – and for good reason! We love to apply and diffuse this blend, add Thieves Vitality to a mug of echinacea tea, or add it to epsom salts for an immune supporting detox bath!

Frankincense Essential Oil:

Frankincense is an immune and respiratory powerhouse! This historical oil has been used for centuries for health. Apply it with Thieves, Lemon, R.C. or Purification to the chest and back, add a few drops to the Thieves Chest Rub when you apply, add Frankincense to epsom salts for a detox bath, and diffuse this oil when you're feeling down. Get it in, on and around you as much as possible!

Lemon Essential Oil:

Lemon is a wonderful oil for soothing cough and creating comfort in times of congestion. Diffuse it, apply it with Frankincense and Thieves Chest Rub, add a few drops of Lemon Vitality to echinacea tea, and add Lemon to detox baths. Lemon is high in limonene, a constituent highly regarded for its immune system support.

R.C. Essential Oil Blend:

Standing for Respiratory Comfort, R.C. essential oil blend is a gentle eucalyptus blend that we love for soothing and comforting the respiratory system. Diffuse, apply, and add this oil to detox baths as much as possible. This is a great choice for little ones too!

Purification Essential Oil Blends:

This purifying blend is another favorite for immune and respiratory needs. Containing Tea Tree, Lemongrass, Myrtle and other purifying oils, it makes a great addition to your comfort routine during times of cough or cold. Diffuse, apply, and add to bath salts.

Raindrop Technique Collection: This curated set of essential oils is a powerful tool for promoting health, wellness and vitality – both proactively and for acute needs since the oils included can be incredible tools for healing! This collection features nine essential oils with immune and respiratory support properties. We love them for making rollers and adding to detox baths!

Thieves chest rub & cough

THIEVES CHEST RUB

A must-have for every medicine cabinet, Thieves Chest Rub is a 100% plant-based alternative for over-the-counter cough and congestion relief. This natural chest rub soothes sniffles, coughs, and congestion for the whole family with a powerful blend of essential oils and natural, plant-based ingredients.Plus the easy-to-use bottle doesn't even require you to get your hands messy!! The formula is free of petroleum, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, synthetic perfumes or dyes, artificial colors, or preservatives and still packs an incredible punch when it comes to cough and cold! Pure ingredients and all the power of Thieves kicking that chest congestion to the curb? We will take some of that!

Sadly, conventional chest rubs are filled with synthetic additives and diluents, and even the ‘natural' options are less than ideal. Many options use petroleum as a base. Petroleum (petrolatum) is often not fully refined in the US, which means it can be contaminated with toxic chemicals called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.Many ‘natural' chest rubs also contain impure essential oils or other lower-grade components that don't meet the same standards as the ingredients found in Young Living products. The active ingredient in the most popular over the counter chest rub is actually a synthetic version of Ravintsara essential oil! And we are always going to choose the original over a synthetic copy, especially when it comes to our health and our family's health!

THIEVES COUGH DROPS

Get natural, quick, and safe cough, congestion, and sore throat relief Thieves Essential Oil-Infused Cough Drops! These are a staple in our cough and cold toolbox. They are easy to keep at home or take on the go, made with naturally derived ingredients, taste great, and work wonders!

Thieves Essential Oil-Infused Cough Drops are minty, spicy, and sweet without processed sugar, dyes, artificial flavors, or preservatives found in conventional cough drops. Infused with Cinnamon Bark, Peppermint, and Lemon essential oils, these menthol-based drops make soothing coughs and colds simple and tasty.

THIEVES HARD LOZENGES

Infused with Young Living's signature Thieves essential oil blend of Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, and Lemon essential oils, these lozenges are one of the things we reach for to keep our immune systems firing on a daily basis! The Thieves Hard Lozenges are a sugar-free dietary supplement to add to your daily wellness regimen with more of a cinnamon taste than a menthol one.We use these daily when we need a lozenge, when we travel to bolster our immune systems, and sometimes in place of the Thieves Cough Drops when we are out or if someone doesn't want the strong menthol taste of the drops (but it's that menthol that helps open the airways and soothe the throat!).
