Essential Oil Spotlight - Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata)

Ylang Ylang is one of the newest oils we carry. It has a beautiful, sweet, floral, and rich scent. To me, it smells fruity, florally and spicy. The essential oil is steam distilled from the flower of the plant, and considered a middle to base note.

Ylang Ylang is a very balancing oil, it can bring a feeling of calm; reducing blood pressure, and heart rate. With that said, if you are on blood pressure medication or have any issues with your heart, please use this oil with caution. Also, avoid using on children under 2 years of age.EndFragment
