Ylang Ylang means flower of flowers, it is a part of the Annonaceae family. It is native to East Asia and spreads all the way to Northern Australia. It’s a fast growing tree exceeding 5 meters per year and it attains an everage height of 12 meters. The evergreen leaves are smooth and glossy; the flowers are drooping with six narrow, greenish-yellow petals, rather like a sea star. The gorgeous blossoms of the Ylang-Ylang Tree bring to mind visions of the South Pacific. Ylang Ylang Oil is probably best known as an aphrodisiac. When diffused, it can help reduce worry, calm the mind, and help uplift mood. Add to a carrier oil for a romantic massage.
