Whether you're looking to wind down sore muscles, support your lungs during seasonal transitions, or create a focused environment for deep work, Canadian Fleabane is an excellent oil to have on hand.

Canadian Fleabane may sound humble, but its power runs deep!

Whether you're supporting your body, clearing your breath, or grounding your emotions, this oil offers gentle strength and quiet clarity in every drop.

BACKGROUND

Canadian fleabane is a plant species indigenous to North America that is also commonly referred to as erigeron, ragweed, or mare’s tail. This wild-crafted plant thrives on bare soil and contains the powerful, naturally occurring constituents limonene, cis-matricaria ester, and trans-alpha-bergamotene.

Used traditionally by Native Americans and early colonists, the fleabane plant has been used for hundreds of years in various practices for its natural analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Its essential oil is prized for promoting comfort in the body and clarity in the mind.

Today it is frequently used in fragrances and perfume to add nuance and complexity, but it is also used for endocrine system balance.

Canadian Fleabane oil is steam distilled from the flowering tops and upper leaves, capturing its herbaceous, slightly minty scent and therapeutic benefits.

Though not as well-known as oils like Peppermint or Eucalyptus, Canadian Fleabane shares similar qualities—making it a gentle, grounding alternative for respiratory and muscular support. Its subtle strength makes it a great option for those with sensitivities to stronger oils.

CANADIAN FLEABANE & EMOTIONS

Energetically, Canadian Fleabane offers clarity, protection, and grounding. Its stabilizing properties make it useful during times of mental fog, emotional reactivity, or spiritual burnout. Diffuse it during journaling or meditation to help you release mental clutter and restore focus. It also blends beautifully with Frankincense and Lavender for calming emotional storms and helping you feel more anchored and present.

CANADIAN FLEABANE & THE LIVER

Canadian Fleabane has a long-standing reputation in herbal medicine for its supportive role in liver detoxification and overall organ vitality. With its naturally cleansing and anti-inflammatory properties, this essential oil may assist the body’s natural detox pathways—particularly the liver—by encouraging gentle purification and cellular regeneration.

When used aromatically or topically (with dilution), Canadian Fleabane can complement a wellness routine focused on liver support, especially when paired with oils like Ledum, Helichrysum, or Lemon. Whether you're doing a seasonal cleanse or simply supporting daily detox, Fleabane’s light, fresh aroma makes it both grounding and revitalizing.

It is a wonderful tool to pair with liver supplements like LiverTone and Whole Body Cleanse.

CANADIAN FLEABANE & THE HEART

Canadian Fleabane may be an under-the-radar essential oil, but its benefits for cardiovascular wellness are both gentle and profound. Traditionally used for its circulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, this oil supports heart health by helping to maintain healthy blood pressure, reduce nervous system stress, and encourage fluid balance in the body.

Its soothing effects—thanks to key constituents like cis-matricaria ester, beta-caryophyllene, and trans-α-bergamotene—make it an ideal companion for calming the body and mind, which in turn supports overall cardiovascular resilience.

Diffuse during stressful moments or use in a massage blend over the chest and shoulders to nurture your heart—physically and emotionally.

CANADIAN FLEABANE & THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

Canadian Fleabane is a powerful ally for the endocrine system, offering natural support for hormonal balance, adrenal function, and healthy blood pressure regulation.

Rich in therapeutic compounds like cis-matricaria ester, trans-α-bergamotene, and beta-caryophyllene, this oil helps calm the nervous system, reduce systemic inflammation, and ease the burden on hormone-regulating organs like the liver, adrenals, and pituitary.

Because the endocrine system is sensitive to stress and toxicity, Canadian Fleabane's gentle, cleansing properties make it ideal for supporting the body’s natural hormone rhythms.

Use it in diffuser blends, topical applications (diluted), or adrenal support rollers to restore balance and support emotional and physical resilience.

KEY CONSTITUENTS

Limonene: Provides uplifting, antioxidant support and contributes to the oil’s crisp scent

Beta-Caryophyllene: A powerful anti-inflammatory and calming compound, great for soothing discomfort

Alpha-Pinene: Supports respiratory health and mental clarity

Myrcene: Offers sedative-like, muscle-soothing effects and contributes to emotional relaxation

Cis-Matricaria Ester: Known for its strong anti-inflammatory properties; contributes to the calming, muscle-relaxing effects of the oil

Trans-alpha-Bergamotene: A sesquiterpene valued for its soothing, grounding, and skin-supportive properties

These constituents help explain why Canadian Fleabane is so effective for muscle support, emotional balance, and respiratory clarity—it's a uniquely balanced oil with both monoterpenes (uplifting and purifying) and sesquiterpenes/esters (grounding and soothing).

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!).
