Ylang Ylang: Why This Funny Yellow Flower Has Our Hearts
Yowza! We're yowling for ylang yang. (too many alliterations?) This month's essential oil profile is one of our favorites, Ylang Ylang. The odor emitted from the flower of this tropical tree is especially powerful. It's latin name is Cananga odorada, but it has many other colloquial names, including "poor man's jasmine," "perfume tree," and "flower of flowers." Ylang Ylang has many medicinal and skin care benefits, but it is the emotional properties that make it truly stand out. The oil from this flower is a mood enhancer and can be very effective for depression, nerves and emotional exhaustion. We are thrilled to introduce this amazing oil because it will be featured in not one, but two of our upcoming products. We can't wait to share them with you.
