The secret of the ylang ylang flower
Ylang ylang essential oil is obtained from the yellow flowers of the tropical Cananga odorata tree. You receive a sweet, intense, floral aroma that has been regarded for centuries in the Philippines and Madagascar as the fragrance of romance and beauty care. Due to its concentrated character, a small drop goes a long way.
For a romantic mood
For a special evening, add 3-4 drops of ylang ylang oil to the bedroom diffuser. The warm, floral aroma immediately creates an exotic atmosphere that is a pleasant companion for dinner and relaxation. The living room is also suitable when you want to greet guests with a captivating fragrance.
In bath water and body care
For bathing, mix 5-7 drops into a tablespoon of carrier oil (almond or jojoba) and add to the water, because it does not dissolve properly on its own. Use it diluted for massage, particularly pleasant for relaxing rubs around the shoulders and neck area after a long working day.
Hair care tip
Ylang ylang essential oil is a popular hair care addition because by its natural character it cares for the scalp while leaving a pleasant aroma. Mix 2-3 drops into a tablespoon of coconut oil and massage into the scalp before bedtime. In the morning wash it out with warm water and a gentle shampoo.
Storage and caution
Keep the essential oil in a dark, cool place in a sealed bottle. Ylang ylang has an intense character, so for some people it may cause headaches at high concentrations, therefore always dose in small amounts. We recommend that expectant mothers consult a doctor before use. Keep away from children and pets.
