Called the 'flower of flowers', our pure ylang ylang essential oil's rich floral scent is famous for many reasons, one of which being that it is one of the primary ingredients in the iconic Chanel No. 5.
However, this delicate oil has many applications beyond its beautiful scent and is often used to soothe stress, boost confidence, and support overall health.
Ylang Ylang oil for sleep
Ylang ylang has also been noted as beneficial for fighting insomnia as well as promoting healthy sleep patterns.
This is largely thanks to its sedative effect, which is said to significantly reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure rates and heart rates in the body – thus promoting a sounder environment for sleep.
Ylang Ylang oil for skin
Ylang ylang essential oil is said to boost immune response, and also has strong antibacterial and antifungal properties.
Ylang ylang essential oil is also often used in skin care to prevent signs of ageing.
