History

Ylang ylang has been historically used in fragrances, and was used to perfume the beds of newlyweds. Ylang ylang has also been widely used for skin support, hair, stomach, and respiratory support. Interestingly, ylang ylang has also been used as a flavoring in bubble gum.

Oil Description

Ylang Ylang essential oil is steamed distilled from the flowers of the ylang ylang tree. It’s been most used in perfumes. Ylang ylang’s aromatic and therapeutic properties relieve tension and reduce stress. The calming and lavish aroma promotes restful sleep. When ingested, ylang ylang can support antioxidant function.

Cautions

Use with a carrier for sensitive skin. Keep out of reach of children. Consult your physician if you are pregnant, nursing or under a doctor’s care. Do not put oils directly in your eyes (oils can drip into eyes – if this happens, flush with fractionated coconut oil, not water). Do not drip oils into the ear canal. Avoid sensitive areas.
