Product Description
What is ylang ylang essential oil good for? It’s considered an effective antidepressant, antiseptic, antispasmodic and sedative.
It’s also been highly sought after for centuries for its ability to thicken hair and its skin-healing properties.
In addition to its beauty-boosting and health-promoting effects, throughout history in places such as Indonesia, and still even today, ylang ylang has been commonly been used to decorate the bed of newlyweds on their wedding night due to its energizing, aphrodisiac qualities.
What Is Ylang Ylang?
Ylang ylang (Cananga odorata) essential oil comes from flower petals of the large, tropical ylang ylang tree. Today, ylang ylang trees are widely grown in tropical areas throughout Asia, including Indonesia, the Philippines and the Polynesian islands.
What does ylang ylang smell like? Ylang ylang actually means “flower of flowers” and was given this name because of its sweet, floral scent. In fact, you can recognize ylang ylang’s smell as one of the key ingredients used in the legendary perfume Chanel No. 5.
Research shows that this oil has positive effects on immune health, blood flow and emotions, making it a natural remedy for the endocrine, cardiovascular, reproductive and digestive systems.
The pleasant fragrance of this oil is mainly due to volatile organic compounds produced by the flowers, including some 75 new compounds that were only recently identified in 2013. According to a 2014 report published in the Journal of Experimental Botany, the floral scents of ylang ylang are a key factor in plant-insect interactions and are vital for successful pollination since they repel pests and bugs. They are also responsible for its anti-anxiety effects.
