Ylang ylang oil is distilled from the flowers of the tropical Cananga odorata. The pic is not my own since i was never in the oportunity to take one as i live in 'the low lands'
The first refraction of distillation is called ylang ylang extra, followed by ylang ylang 1,2 and 3 and the whole oil is called cananga .The first refractions are used for mainly perfumery purposes as the #scent gets smokier when the distillation gets completer.
This essential oil is in my practise very often used for cli毛nts that suffer from hyperventilation. I make them a inhaler, which immediately gives the brain a signal that increases the urge to over-breath and will slow the breath down.
According to more special backgrounds - none reacts the same - i like to add mountain lavender oil if there are fears involved and frankincense if there is a nervous superficial breathing habit.
As for the scent; its too sweet and heavy for me - i seldom use it, this is to me a First Aid oil wen in panic.
Working with inhalers gives an aromatherapist a excellent way to coach cli毛nts, it can be composed especially for one cli毛nt and they can keep them in their pockets and use at all times others will think it is a inhaler to fight flue or cold symptoms 馃槈
