Hi friends!

If you know me you know that I am completely obsessed with wellness hacks. So, when I stumbled up Vibrant Blue Oils I quickly fell in love. Founder Jodi Cohen describes Vibrant Blue Oil as blends of organic or wild-crafted essential oils that help balance organ systems and regions of the brain, including balancing emotions and supporting symptoms, so the body can function optimally and heal…. and gosh do they ever!

I’m obsessed with with their kits, which have helped me with everything from the daily stressors of #momlyfe to their different remedies from relaxation and sleep. Beyond functionality, their scents are DIVINE. I love throwing on the Parasympathetic blend between workouts. Not only does it zen me out, but also keeps me smelling FRESH and so so good.

So in honor of this near perfect product, I interviewed founder Jodi Cohen on the ins and outs of her oils. She’s rad and has tons of health hacks and ways to integrate Vibrant Blue Oils into supporting full body health.

Please know I am sending you all the love too, now go #beyourbestself

Xoxo, Amy

Q&A with Vibrant Blue Oil Founder Jodi Cohen

What's your top selling oil ? Can you describe the application and benefits?

Parasympathetic – it is the reset button for stress. You apply behind your earlobe on your mastoid bone to activate your parasympathetic nervous system. You can read more about it: here.

How did you first discover essential oils and their healing properties?

The short answer is that “necessity is the mother of all invention.” I created my proprietary essential oil blends to help me navigate my own health crisis. Once I experienced how well they worked, I decided to share them with others who experienced similar results.

What makes your oils stand out from other brands?

We are 100% organic or wildcrafted. We formulate proprietary blends (instead of just selling individual oils and having users formulate themselves). We work with practitioners to create blends that help balance organ systems and regions of the brain, including balancing emotions and supporting symptoms, so the body can function optimally and heal. Our blends are practitioner tested.

Where are your oils sourced from?

Vibrant Blue Oils (VBO) are properly extracted, organic, therapeutic grade oils from wild-crafted, organic plants grown in their indigenous locations.

We source our oils through small, independently-owned, organic farms, working directly with the small villages and farmers to insure the integrity and quality of the product. It is not just the purity, harvest and distillation, but also the people, environment, and intention in essential oil production that determines quality.

Small farmers often grow only one or two crops a year and therefore take better care of their crops, thus producing higher quality crops and higher quality essential oils. Working directly with the farmers also removes the “Middle Man” and the potential for adulteration of the oils.

Vibrant Blue Oils are free from pesticides, chemical fertilizers, adulterants, and added synthetic chemicals. We confirm this by performing GC/MS testing on every batch.

All oils are sold as single species plants from the same farm and distillation batch. Because of the high quality and purity of our oils, you may notice slight changes in different batches due to the effects of weather conditions on plant growth.

How did you develop your oil blends and their specific application?

I combined my training in nutritional therapy, functional neurology, herbalism aromatherapy and other forms of energy medicine to create unique proprietary blends of organic and wild-crafted essential oils to balance different regions of the brain and organ systems in the body.

Building on the principal that food is medicine, herbs are concentrated food and essential oils are concentrated herbs, I further discovered that blends of two of more single essential oils are often more powerful than the individual oils. Blends synergistically combine single oils to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts. The combination yields not only the power of the combined chemical constituents and frequencies, but also the synergy of how they interact together. This means that the respective powers of the individual oils change to enhance their energy. For example, the anti-inflammatory effects of chamomile are increased when combined with lavender.

My process of combining oils in specific ratios creates a synergy that can shift organs in the body and regions of the brain to support physiological function and emotional balance.

Drawing on my deep understanding of the healing properties of plants, I determine how the oils work with the brain and body, and then create a synergy based on very specific ratios of oil to support different brain and bodily functions.

Vibrant Blue Oil formulations are then fine-tuned and refined for use by both practitioners and individuals. Vibrant Blue Oil has grown primarily through word of mouth referrals from doctors, chiropractors, nurses, nutritional therapists, acupuncturists, meditation and yoga instructors, bodyworkers, energy medicine practitioners and those that have taken the formulas themselves and have had great results. You can read their success stories HERE.

Can you mix your oils? If so, which pair nicely together?

You can use different blends at the same time – we have grouped them into kits that work nicely together, like gut repair kit, detox support kit, brain reboot kit

How often do you apply oils and what are your personal favorites?

Apply a minimum of 2x daily, my personal favorites are parasympathetic, circulation, lymph and adrenal. I also love heart and small intestine support.

Do you think that oils can replace medicine- and if so, how would someone transition from medication to oils ( ie. If I take a daily allergy supplement, how would I wean off and switch to oils, how long would it take, and what would you recommend I take for allergies?

No, they compliment, but do not replace. Histamine balance and parasympathetic can be supportive for allergies.

What do you recommend for kids for the following conditions: teething, cold, stomach ache, bedtime - and how would you apply said oils?

Teething – frozen celery sticks – I don’t recommend oils for children under 18 months

Cold – immune support – bottom of the feet

Stomach ache – digest – rub around tummy

Bedtime - sleep or lavender or calm – bottom of the feet

What do you recommend for the following common adult conditions?

Insomnia - I would look at the root cause of insomnia and then go from there. Read more about causes HERE.

Stress / anxiety - Parasympathetic, hypothalamus and adrenal

Energy - Adrenal, circulation, lymph

Overall balance - parasympathetic

Stomach aches - Parasympathetic, digest
