Ylang Ylang

Post by: Danette Penrod in All, Product Spotlight, DIY Essential Oil, Recipes
Derived from unique star-shaped flowers, Ylang Ylang is often used to support healthy skin and hair, while simultaneously providing a calming effect and promoting a positive outlook.  It's also used extensively in making perfumes and in aromatherapy. 

Taken internally it can provide great antioxidant support - add dōTERRA Ylang Ylang to a refreshing drink or smoothie. For a quick pick-me-up apply a few drops of Ylang Ylang to the back of your neck.

You can blend any oils together to get the scent that you want. In particular, if you have a diffuser blend that you love, start there. It will probably smell different on your skin, but you can easily tweak it from there. The following perfume DIY offers a unique blend that's irresistible.
