Ylang Ylang is a very well known fragrant flower that has been used for many years as a popular ingredient for many perfumes. However, for many years, the amazing healing benefits of the oil were very seldom known.
Ylang Ylang provides release from feelings of depression and anxiety, while relaxing the body and soul and inducing feelings of joy. The oil is also one of the best aphrodisiacs, as it induces feelings of warmth and sensuality.
There are many different types of Ylang Ylang oils, as you may see Ylang Ylang I, II, III, and Extra. The roman numerals next to the oil represent the grade of the oil. Ylang Ylang Extra is the first distillation of the flowers. Each grade after is from the next layers of distillation. Being the very top layer of Essential Oil, Ylang Ylang Extra is truly the most potent and therapeutic of the different grades.
