Aromatherapy:
One of the top benefits of Ylang Ylang Essential Oil is definitely its mood-boosting yet soothing abilities. Add 8 to 10 drops in a diffuser or burner for the ultimate aromatherapy session.
Goodbye stress & anxiety:
Ylang Ylang essential oil is a go-to natural choice for reducing stress and anxiety. Many studies have shown that Ylang Ylang Essential oil carries potent anxiety-reducing, mood-enhancing and pain-relieving properties. It does so by reducing the levels of cortisol in the body (aka the stress hormones). To reduce stress, simply add a few drops of Ylang Ylang essential oil to your diffuser or oil burner to relax and unwind after a long day – or optimally, by your bed before sleeping. You can also apply the Ylang Ylang Essential Oil topically for the same benefits, but make sure to do a patch test before to ensure there are no allergic reactions.
A good night’s sleep:
Thanks to its stress-relieving qualities, Ylang Ylang Essential Oil is excellent when it comes to promoting faster and deeper sleep. You can diffuse Ylang Ylang Essential Oil in your room before sleeping or apply a few drops to your temples or behind your ears – or even use it as a pillow mist to have the best sleep of your life!
Relax and unwind:
Ylang Ylang Essential Oil has been used for many years to promote relaxation and peace of mind. To get the best relaxation benefits, simply add a few drops to a hot bath or add it to your body lotion or massage oil for the ultimate aromatherapy massage. The floral, sweet smell of Ylang Ylang will instantly relax you and create an air of serenity.
Hair growth goals:
Aside from relaxation and aromatherapy, Ylang Ylang Essential Oil has been used by many generations to stimulate hair growth.
