How to Use Ylang Ylang Essential Oil

Dec 27th, 2013 | Category: Young Living Product Blog

Expressing gratitude for the abundance in our lives and spending time with loved ones is part of the delight of the holiday season. However, holiday parties and events can also add a lot of strain to our already hectic lives. The lull between Christmas and New Year’s celebrations is a perfect time to take a moment for yourself and relieve some stress. Ylang Ylang essential oil is the perfect antidote for holiday tension; it can generate a sense of calm and relaxation, even in the midst of this action-packed season.

Ylang Ylang essential oil (Cananga odorata) is sourced from a beautiful, drooping, yellow bloom found on the cananga tree. Ylang Ylang is extremely effective in calming and bringing about a sense of relaxation. It may also help with releasing feelings of anger and assist with getting rid of negative feelings. In addition, it has a long history in skin- and hair-care products—particularly in Asia, where it is used to promote luxuriant hair.

Here are some tips from Young Living and our Facebook fans on how to use Ylang Ylang essential oil:
