Ylang Ylang 100% - (Cananga odorata)

Ylang Ylang is a tall tropical tree, reaching 30 metres in height. The bark of this tree is smooth with small 'cracks' in the surface, the branches drooping towards the earth, similar to a willow. The Ylang Ylang tree has constant flowers that are fragile, appearing first as green, then pink, mauve or yellow, with the later considered the best for essential oil production. This clear oil is created though the distillation of the fresh flowers, and is a process that must be completed quickly in order to keep the flowers from drying out.

Scent: Exotic, sweet and lingering. It may cause a headache and nausea if not used in moderation. The essential oil is for external use only and it should always be diluted with a suitable carrier oil such as Sweet Almond Oil before applying to the skin. Keep it away from children and pets. It is non-toxic and non-irritant but with possible sensitization in some individuals.

Aromatherapists use Ylang Ylang for depression, frigidity, frustration, general skin care, hair growth, high blood pressure, impotence, insomnia, nervous tension, palpitations, stress related disorders. Ylang Ylang oil could have a soothing effect on the skin and its stimulating effect on the scalp is said to promote more luxurious hair growth.
