Ylang Ylang Essential Oil

Description

Cananga odorata

Ylang Ylang Essential Oil is steam distilled from the flowers of the ylang ylang tree. It possesses an intensely sweet, exotic, floral aroma with rich, heady undertones. Just a drop or two of Ylang Ylang Essential Oil can add luxurious depth and sensuality to any blend, though it should be used sparingly as its powerful fragrance can become overwhelming in excess.

Ylang Ylang Essential Oil can be useful in diffuser blends intended to help ease anxiety, stress, high blood pressure, and rapid heartbeat. It is valued for its balancing and aphrodisiac properties and is often used in diluted topical applications to support all skin types, particularly oily and dry skin, and to promote relaxation and emotional wellbeing. Ylang Ylang can cause headaches or nausea if overused, so moderation is key.

Emotionally, Ylang Ylang Essential Oil is deeply calming and euphoric, helping to ease anger, anxiety, frustration, and low self-esteem, while promoting feelings of joy, confidence, sensuality, and inner peace during times of tension or emotional coldness.
