Why You Should Be Using Ylang Ylang Oil

Due to its impressive positive components, ylang ylang oil is a great oil to keep in your medicine cabinet as it helps treat a myriad of issues. It is said to be a natural antispasmodic, antiseptic, sedative and antidepressant. As such it can be used for many different issues that are tied to the body.

Varying systems need different types of support and because of the blanketed power of this oil, it can positively impact many of them. Here are the key ways that ylang ylang oil can be beneficial.

Boosts Heart Health

The heart is easily one of the most important organs. It's also the organ that often gets compromised from our daily choices and habits. Heart disease is the number one killer of both men and women in our society. Too much stress, bad eating habits, lack of exercise and environmental factors can increase the risks of suffering from heart disease.

Ylang ylang essential oil is known to help boost the circulatory system which helps to control blood pressure and prevent a heart arrhythmia. It is known as a natural high blood pressure remedy. Try adding a drop of the oil to a carrier oil like jojoba or sweet almond and massaging it into your chest.

Enhances Mood

Sometimes we can feel so bogged down by life and all our responsibilities that our moods are greatly affected. Sometimes our mood is directly tied to our brain chemistry and imbalances in our body. For whatever reason you may feel a bit of a change or swing in your mood, the presence of ylang ylang may help to boost your mood and put you in a more positive head space.

It directly affects the olfactory system in the brain which provides immediate, positive effects and can be even used as a mild depression remedy. You can add a couple of drops to your diffuser or oil burner to fill the room with a pleasant type of aroma that will instantly lift your spirits and put you in a better mood.

Skin

The skincare industry is a billion dollar industry because so many are chasing good skin and a youthful appearance without realizing that the answer is likely so much more affordable than we think. In order to get more youthful skin and prevent irritation and the pesky signs of aging, you'll want to incorporate this oil into your skin care regimen.

It helps to buff out those fine lines and wrinkles that can so often age us prematurely. Do you suffer from laugh lines? Start using this and be astounded at how much smoother your skin will start to look. Mix a couple of drops of ylang ylang with some jojoba oil and use it as a moisturizer after you cleanse your face.

Hair Care

The same way that it transforms skin can be also experienced when it is used on hair. It promotes the enriched, healthy hair that so many of us aspire to have. Massaging your scalp with this oil promotes growth and it also helps to prevent dandruff and a scaly, itchy scalp.
