Ylang Ylang

Did you know that Ylang Ylang means "flower of flowers" in Tagalog? It certainly lives up to its title, since Ylang Ylang essential oil is bursting with miraculous benefits. 

Native to Southeast Asia, this essential oil has been used traditionally for malaria, asthma, pneumonia, headaches, dandruff, gout, ulcers, rheumatism, and digestive issues. The Polynesians used Ylang Ylang in their massage oils because of its delicious aroma. 

In 1878, it was displayed at the world's fair and gained widespread recognition from that time onward. 

Today we use Ylang Ylang for oily skin, heart palpitations, PMS, anxiety, depression, and more. It's also used in today's lotions and cosmetics.
