Our special this month is 10% off 10 mls of Ylang Ylang Extra. There are many grades of Ylang Ylang. The 1st distillate is called Ylang Ylang Extra, considered the top grade, and the one we carry from Madagascar: Cananga odorata var. genuina.

This has an intensely sweet floral scent with a touch of spice that is deep and rich. It's a top oil for stress, anxiety, depression, and can have a regulating effect on the nervous system. Just a whiff or a drop can bring pleasant relief!

See "What's On YOUR Mind" for ways to use Ylang Ylang.

Over the last 20 years with essential oils, time has taught me that our "nose-brain connection" changes just as life does. We may not care for the aroma of an oil at one time in our life, and then all of a sudden at another time we just can't get enough of it. Ylang Ylang is one of these essential oils due to its powerful sweet exotic aroma. My sense is that due to the stress of the times, Ylang Ylang is one of the essential oils to serve and assist us through these transitions in more ways than one.

When John and I vacationed in Costa Rica a few years ago, right on the grounds of our little cottage were Ylang Ylang trees. Up until this time I only knew the powerful aroma of the pure essential oil. The scent of the flowers on the trees was light and heavenly. The idea of staying there, having an Ylang Ylang tree farm and distilling essential oil crossed our minds...or maybe it was our hearts.

My several trips to Ecuador with an Incan Shaman in the Andes came about through my friendship with Gary and Merri Scott, international experts on the area. They are wonderful about sharing their knowledge and expertise with others through their website. See pictures from some of these visits and wonderful insights here.

At this time there seems to be more confusion and tension than ever before. My private phone consultations are available to educate, select oils and create a routine that is just right for your "Survive and Thrive Plan". Click the link in "Quick Links" to read about this.
