Ylang ylang essential oil is derived from the flowers of the Cananga odorata tree, which is native to Southeast Asia. 

It has a unique and strong floral scent that is often used in perfumes and aromatherapy. 

Ylang ylang essential oil has several potential benefits, though it is important to note that more research is needed to fully understand and confirm them. 

Some of the potential benefits include:

Stress and anxiety relief: Ylang ylang oil is known for its calming and soothing effects, which may help reduce stress and anxiety when used in aromatherapy or applied topically (diluted with a carrier oil).

Antidepressant properties: Some studies suggest that ylang ylang oil may have a positive impact on mood and help alleviate symptoms of depression.

Aphrodisiac: Ylang ylang has been traditionally used as an aphrodisiac and may help enhance libido and feelings of closeness in romantic relationships.

Sleep aid: The calming effects of ylang ylang oil may promote relaxation and improve sleep quality.

Skincare: Ylang ylang oil is thought to have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, which may help improve skin conditions like acne, eczema, or irritation. Always dilute the essential oil before applying it to the skin.

Hair care: Ylang ylang oil may help improve hair health by promoting natural oil production, reducing hair breakage, and adding shine.

Blood pressure regulation: Some research suggests that ylang ylang oil may help lower blood pressure when used in aromatherapy or applied topically.

Natural insect repellent: Ylang ylang oil has been used as a natural insect repellent due to its strong scent, which can deter mosquitoes and other insects.

Remember to always use essential oils with caution, and consult a professional or healthcare provider before using them, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any medical conditions. 

It is important to dilute essential oils with a carrier oil before applying them topically to avoid irritation or an allergic reaction.

• To Improve Moods and for relaxation
• in homemade cosmetics as skin tonic, moisturizing

Ylang ylang essential oil has a rich, sweet, and floral scent that blends well with a variety of other essential oils. 

Some popular oils to blend with ylang ylang include:

Citrus oils: Lemon, bergamot, grapefruit, Yuzu, and orange essential oils can help balance the sweet floral scent of ylang ylang, creating a fresh and uplifting aroma.

Floral oils: Other floral oils like lavender, geranium, jasmine, and rose can complement and enhance the aroma of ylang ylang, resulting in a harmonious and luxurious blend.

Woody oils: Cedarwood, sandalwood, and vetiver essential oils can add depth and grounding to the sweet scent of ylang ylang, creating a calming and relaxing atmosphere.

Spicy oils: Ginger, clove bud, cinnamon, and black pepper essential oils can add warmth and complexity to the aroma of ylang ylang, creating an invigorating and energizing blend.

Herbaceous oils: Clary sage, rosemary, and eucalyptus essential oils can provide a refreshing and balancing contrast to the sweet scent of ylang ylang.

Resinous oils: Frankincense and myrrh essential oils can create a rich and meditative blend when combined with ylang ylang.

When blending essential oils, it is important to consider the desired outcome and individual preferences. 

Start with a small ratio of oils, adjusting the proportions as needed until the desired scent is achieved. 

Additionally, always dilute essential oil blends with a carrier oil before applying them to the skin or using them in a diffuser.

Do not use during the first 3 months of pregnancy / breastfeeding 

Keep out of reach of children and pets.

As a general rule, always perform a skin patch test before using your essential oils for the first time.
