•  Yland Ylang oil is derived by steam distillation of the small, white petals of the flowering Ylang Ylang tree, found in the rainforests of Asian and South Pacific Islands. It's a joyful oil, helping in promoting a more optimistic outlook and a more positive attitude while soothing fears. It has a strong sedative effect which assists in calming nervousness and anxiety.
  Like all essential oils, smell acts directly on the brain’s olfactory system. Therefore the positive effects are immediate, helping to release negative emotions, including low self-esteem, jealousy and anger. It also has a mild sedative effect.
  In 2006 Korea’s Geochang Provincial College in Korea, found that when Ylang Ylang was combined with Lavender and Bergamot and used daily for four weeks, patients’ cortisol levels and psychological stress responses were reduced.
