I've really been drawn lately to essential oil use and aromatherapy. I begin and end all my facials with the power of this centuries old technique of healing. I believe in it and can truly feel a shift in my mood as I use the different oils. My go-to oils as of late have been to begin with the all-purpose Lavender that induces relaxation and then to awaken and energize with Lemongrass. I absolutely love Lemongrass and fresh Lavender from the garden is hard to beat. I'm feeling the need to branch out and try other not as popular oils either to blend or to use separately to enhance to benefits of these powerful oils. So this brings me to the Cananga Odorata! Ylang Ylang is the essential oil derived from the greenish yellow flowers of this evergreen Asian tree. In the ten years of being an Esthetician, my appreciation has changed for different scents. I did not care much for Ylang Ylang years ago and found that in my essential oil tool kit, I always skipped it. Now I am absolutely drawn to it, loving the exotic, rich, deep fragrance that hints of jasmine and neroli. Not only the scent, but the power it has to wash away anxiety, depression, and to lower blood pressure is inspiring enough to make it a staple in my work. For more information on what this beautiful oil can do for you, check out this website I found highly informative: www.organicfacts.net/heath-benefits/essential-oils/health-benefits-of-ylang-ylang-essential-oil.html.
