Ylang Ylang - An Oil So Nice They Named it Twice!

This week's essential oil spotlight is Ylang-ylang.

Ylang ylang actually means "flowers of flowers" in Malayan. Its main therapeutic properties are antidepressant, antiseptic, aphrodisiac, hypotensive, and sedative.

The smell is unique and slightly floral. It is commonly used in women's fragrances and beauty products.

Other Benefits:
  • Reduces Blemishes
  • Improves Circulation
  • Boost hair growth/strength 
  • Reduces Acne
  • Reduces Dermatitis
  • Relieves Anxiety
My favorite essential oil brand is ESS! It also offers organic options and amazing blends!

ESS Ylang Ylang Extra Pure Essential Oil 

Pro Tip: Ylang ylang is popular for blending! Diffuse with essential oils derived from bergamot, grapefruits, lavender, and sandalwood.
