The Benefits of Ylang Ylang Oil
Ylang Ylang Oil Is the Ultimate Floral Aphrodisiac
The
flowers of the small ylang-ylang tree have been used in Asia for
centuries to express love in marriage ceremonies.The tree grows in
Malaysia, Madagascar, the Philippines, and the Reunion Islands. The name
means ‘Flower of Flowers’ and those flowers can be pink, yellow, and
mauve. The best oil usually comes from the yellow flowers, which are
picked early in the day in early summer.
Ylang-ylang qualities vary depending on
the distillation segment. The first segment is considered ‘extra’ and is
a sought after commodity in the perfume industry. Aromatherapy
considers each oil segment useful in various ways, and the healing
properties of any of these oils are considered impressive by any
standards.
Ylang-ylang oil
is used to slow down a rapid heart beat and rapid breathing, and is
thus very useful in trauma and shock situations. Ylang-ylang is also
used to condition the skin because it balances natural oil production.
The oil has a very distinct sweet aroma, which also acts as a catalyst
for sexual passions.
The three aromatherapy oils that are best known for aphrodisiac properties are rose, neroli, and jasmine,
but ylang-ylang is also one of the best oils for uplifting the emotions
and fueling sexual desire. Ylang-ylang has a calming effect and an
incredible floral scent, so it is considered a great aphrodisiac by
people who are looking for a natural stimulant that rarely disappoints
in terms of rousing the libido.
The chemical compounds in ylang-ylang
oil certainly play a role in its ability to interact with hormone
secretion. The chemicals found naturally in the oil are linalool, methyl
ether, caryophyllene, geranyl acetate, benzyl benzoate, methyl
benzoate, benzyl acetate, p-cresyl, and other sesquiterpenes. Those
chemicals give the oil aphrodisiac, hypotensive, nervine,
antidepressant, sedative, antiseborrhoeic, and antiseptic properties.
The euphoric and sedative effect that
ylang-ylang has on the nervous system helps relieve anxiety, tension,
fear, shock, and panic. When ylang-ylang oil is massaged into the skin
the nervous system relaxes, which means the respiratory and circulatory
systems begin to function normally. When the oil is added to a cream or
lotion it balances sebum production in the skin. That helps eliminate
oily skin and balances overly dry skin as well.
When ylang-ylang oil is blended with essential oils such as lavender, grapefruit, bergamot and sandalwood
in aromatherapy, the wellness results are substantially enhanced.
Ylang-ylang lives up to its name; it continues to be the ‘flowers of
flowers’ that helps people enjoy a healthy sex life and to relax in
times of stress.
