How Can You Use Ylang Ylang and Aromatherapy in Your Everyday Life?

    Essential Oil. This oil is well-known for its relaxing and aphrodisiac effects, making it a good component of massage oils. It regulates the heart, thus helps to relieve high blood pressure, anxiety, palpitations, and stress.

    It can also help regulate your mood if you are feeling a little angry, worried or depressed. It will also help you fall asleep if you have a little too much on your mind. Add 3 drops of this essential oil to your bath water for a relaxing and aphrodisiac bath.

DO NOT apply this essential oil directly to the skin without being diluted in a carrier oil first. An estimate of 5 drops of essential oil per 2 to 3 tablespoons of carrier oil is suggested.
