Ylang Ylang is a beautiful, tall tree native to places like Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia. Its bright yellow flowers have a wonderfully strong scent and long, graceful petals. Because the essential oil is produced in large amounts, it’s one of the more affordable oils—but it’s still highly loved in the perfume and cosmetics world for its gorgeous fragrance. You’ll even find it used in some foods today!

Science suggests that Ylang Ylang essential oil can act as a mental stimulant, while in aromatherapy it’s often praised for its calming effects on both mind and body. Simply breathing in its scent may help you feel more relaxed. Adding a few drops to a bath or using it in a massage blend can make the experience even more soothing. It’s often used to ease feelings of stress, low mood, shock, or anxiety, and as a hair tonic it’s said to help balance oil production. Just keep in mind that using too much can sometimes lead to headaches or nausea.
