How to Use
Aromatherapy: Aadrea Ylang Ylang oil is used in aromatherapy, to calm frazzled or imbalanced emotions, such as anger, resentment, and envy. The ooil can be used in a diffuser singly or with other essential oils, using a concentration of up to 25 drops of oil for every 200ml of clean water. Topically (for use on skin when incorporated in a body massage), it helps to boost the libido, heighten sexual arousal, elevate the sense of touch, and encourage intimacy and bonding between couples. Carrier oils should be used to reduce the concentration without reducing potency. For every 3-6 drops of Ylang Ylang oil, in addition to other essential oils if you prefer a blend, use at least 50ml of carrier oil (Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil are excellent local options of carrier oils). Blend with carrier oil of choice prior to massage to minimize any skin sensitivity.
Stimulates Hair Growth: Ylang Ylang Oil is a popular natural ingredient featured in hair growth and anti-dandruff remedies. In particular, using it in a nourishing scalp massage is believed to help clear the scalp, lessen flakiness, and open up clogged follicles. Blend with fractionated coconut oil as a carrier for use in your hair spray or to apply to hair roots. It will also leave your hair smelling great.
Inhalation: The oil’s benefits can be obtained by direct inhalation. Add 2-3 drops in handkerchief, place over nose and inhale. Using a Diffuser/Humidifier: Use three to six drops in diffuser of choice with clean water to generate the vapour.

Additional information
Aadrea Ylang Ylang oil is packaged in durable labelled amber dripper or dropper bottles or aluminum cans. Alternative packaging and seals will be specified as they become available.
Essential oils are volatile and lose their potency when exposed for long periods to oxygen and direct sunlight. Store the oil in its original sealed container, in a cool and dark space.
Our essential oils, oleoresins, absolutes and hydrosols have been made using an ideal and chemical neutral /free process of either steam distillation, cold press and supercritical extraction. The purity of the oils has been ensured by keeping the amount of hydration/water content and other elements at the lowest level. With this in mind, we are confident that the product will remain effective if you store it in its primary bottle/container, away from direct sunlight, excessive heat and minimize the periods the bottle is opened (during which the oil potentially gets exposed to oxygen).
Your essential oil should remain viable (with the full optimal potential to deliver the intended benefit) for an average of 36 months (3 years)*** from the date of its manufacture.
