Aromatherapy with Ylang Ylang essential oil

Sweet, floral, heavy aroma.



There are several grades of ylang ylang essential oil which are extracted at different times during the flower's lengthy distillation. The superior ylang extra is drawn off during the initial phase. Next, ylang II is extracted and finally ylang III. Products known as "ylang complete" are available which can be either a blend of the three grades of ylang or the complete oil that results from the full, uninterrupted distillation of the flowers. 

In aromatherapy, ylang evokes feelings of deep, languid calm that melt away anxiety, tension and stress. Ylang tends to predominate, so it should be used in small amounts on its own or when blending with other oils.

Blends well with bergamot, citronella, jasmine, lavender, lemon, rose, sandalwood and verbena.

You should expect to pay about $30 for an ounce of Ylang Ylang Essential Oil

Have a great day!
