Description
Ylang-ylang has an interesting history in both East and West. In India, ylang-ylang flowers are scattered over the newlyweds' bed on their wedding night. In the Philippines, healers have used ylang-ylang for centuries in creams to treat insect and snake bites, burns, cuts and scars. The medicinal substances in ylang-ylang were recognised in the early 20th century by the French chemists Garnier and Rechler. They discovered that the oil is an effective remedy for various diseases, including malaria, typhoid and intestinal infections. They also noticed that the oil has a calming effect on the heart in distress. In Eastern medicine, ylang-ylang is the calming agent for the heart, and this is considered its most important therapeutic action.
Ylang-ylang essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the flowers of a large tropical tree and has a very luxurious, floral and sensual aroma. Ylang-ylang means “flower of flowers” and was named for its distinctive scent. It is considered an effective antidepressant, antiseptic and antispasmodic. It has a positive effect on the immune system, circulation and emotions. Negative emotions are one of the most dangerous and toxic forms of oxidative stress. They are often underestimated, but they are a precondition for many serious health problems. With its properties, ylang-ylang oil has become a natural remedy for disorders of the endocrine, cardiovascular, reproductive and digestive systems.
Research: A 2006 study found that ylang-ylang oil relieves depression and stress in aromatherapy. It caused a significant drop in blood pressure, and the patients who took part in the study felt much calmer and more relaxed than people in the control group. Ylang-ylang oil significantly lowered systolic and diastolic blood pressure in studies of 29 men. It also lowers the heart rate and has a sedative effect when inhaled.
