Ylang Ylang oil is also known to inspire a sense of confidence, so the next time you need a pick-me-up, simply reach for this essential oil.
Ylang Ylang essential oil is extracted from steam-distilled, star-shaped flowers of the Cananga odorata trees. These bright flowers grow in lush, tropical climates like Malaysia, Indonesia, and Madagascar. Did you know that the climate where the trees grow changes how the flowers smell? Young Living’s Ylang Ylang oil comes from two climates: Madagascar and Ecuador. The lovely trees flourishing at the Finca Botanica Farm in Ecuador are the only source for Ylang Ylang in that climate, which gives our oil a unique scent profile.

My favorite oil of all oils, I live it in my essential oil necklace, smells amazing
I know this web site gives quality based articles or reviews and extra material, is there any other site which offers such information in quality?
Thanks for enjoying our blog. Our team is made up of trained professionals that collaborate with scientists, researchers and strategists, so I am not sure if there is another site offering what we do. We know that some of our members have excellent blogs and on them they share ways they use oils in their everyday lives. They can also be a helpful resource. However, I do not know of any sites that match our quality currently. We work hard to keep it that way haha :) Hope that helps and thanks for stopping by!
Beside diffusing it & wearing it I use this as a spray to freshen my furniture!
A friend suggested Ylang Ylang as a calming oil to help me relax. When I'm anxious, I inhale it, and massage a drop on my chest. I love it, as well as Peace and Calming for this calming effect. I learned a lot from all the posts, and will happily diffuse it more often, especially with Orange and Lavendar. Mmmmm.....
I grew up actually smelling fresh Ylang-ylang in the Philippines. We have a tree of Ylang-ylang. I make sure I don't run out of the EO. I don't buy perfume anymore.Love the scent.
i make a lotion with Shea Butter and Ylang Ylang. I've actually been stopped while shopping asking what perfume I'm wearing. I've had several compliments about how good I smell. I smile and say " Thank you, I make my own lotion with Young Living Essential Oils and this one is Ylang Ylang"
Debra,
would you be willing to share your lotion recipe? :)
sounds awesome, could you share your recipe for your lotion :)
How much of each do you use to make your lotion? Sounds good.
I've only tried it in blends, it has such an exotic aroma. It's on my dream oil list. I can't wait to get to Ecuador for the farm tour!

Is Ylang Ylang safe for topical use during pregnancy?
Hi Vesta, As with any medical condition it is strongly recommended that, prior to use of essential oils, you seek the advice and recommendation of a competent, trained health care advisor who is experienced in EO usage. Thanks for stopping by with your question!
We diffuse it with Rosemary & Vetiver for a really good sleep.
