Ylang Ylang oil

Ylang Ylang (Cananga Odorata Flower Oil) - controlled organic cultivation

The Ylang Ylang tree is native to Indonesia, the Comoros and Madagascar. It grows up to 27 m tall and bears green-yellow flowers with a strong, sweet scent. The essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the fresh flowers. The heavy, sweet and sensual floral scent has a slightly woody background note.

Ylang Ylang essential oil has a strong antispasmodic, pain-reducing, antibacterial and antiseptic effect. It promotes the release of the "happiness hormones" serotonin and endorphin. A lack of serotonin causes inner restlessness, nervousness and depression. Serotonin reduces the tension in the blood vessel walls, so that blood pressure drops. We feel physically relaxed and mentally calm. Endorphins, in turn, reduce a negative mood and depression. The essential oil is said to have a strong aphrodisiac effect. In natural medicine, ylang ylang is used to treat high blood pressure, menstrual problems, and abdominal and muscle cramps.
