Aromatherapy Properties:
(Uses) There
are several grades or qualities of this essential oil. The large flowers of
Ylang-Ylang are subjected to fractional steam distillation, yielding, in
succession, ylang-ylang extra, I, II, and III. A complete essential oil is
also available by non-fractional steam distillation of the flowers or by
combining the first three fractions. The grades (Extra, I, II and III)
indicate from which part of the steam distillation process the oil was
obtained, with Extra being of the highest quality. Ylang-Ylang I is the
next highest quality and it is
much more floral than the Ylang-Ylang III distilled type and it's also a
much better blending oil than the Ylang-Ylang Third (III) grade.
Ylang-Ylang III is an excellent oil for various aspects of aromatherapy and
for soap making. Ylang-Ylang Extra is collected from the first proportion; it
is collected over several hours and becomes the ‘extra’ quality oil which is
rich in oxygenated constituents but poor in the high boiling point terpenes
known as sesquiterpenes. From a perfumer’s aspect, Ylang-Ylang Extra is the
best grade and the most highly valued of the grades. Properties: Both
relaxes and arouses; in Europe, therapists use this oil for sexual
dysfunction. Eases frigidity and impotence. It is antidepressant,
antiseptic, aphrodisiac, sedative. Excessive use may lead to headaches and
nausea. Could possibly irritate sensitive skins and is indicated against use
on inflammatory skin conditions and dermatitis. Could well ease feelings of
anger, anxiety, shock, panic and fear. Useful with rapid breathing and
heartbeat; its sedative properties could help bring down high blood
pressure. Soothes anger. Has a tonic and stimulating effect on the scalp
promoting a more luxurious hair growth. |

History:
In Indonesia, Ylang-Ylang
flower petals are strewn upon the bed of newlywed couples. Ylang-Ylang was a
popular ingredient of hair preparations in Europe and was known as Macassar
oil. The word anti-macassar originated from this, since an anti-macassar was
used to keep hair oil from staining upholstered furniture.

General Safety Information: Do not take any oils
internally without consultation from a qualified aromatherapy practitioner.
Do not apply undiluted essential oils, absolutes, CO2s or other concentrated
essences onto the skin. If you are pregnant, epileptic, have liver damage,
have cancer, or have any other medical problem, use oils only under the
proper guidance of a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. Use extreme
caution when using oils with children and give children only the gentlest
oils at extremely low doses. It is safest to consult a qualified
aromatherapy practitioner before using oils with children. A skin patch test
should be conducted prior to using an oil that you've never used before.
