doTERRA Ylang Ylang
Floral & Exotic
Ylang Ylang
Botanical name: Cananga Odorata
Country of origin: Madagascar
Application: external, aromatic
Why Madagascar?
The essential oil of ylang-ylang comes from the island of Nosy Be, located off the northwest coast of Madagascar. The trees thrive in the hot, humid climate.
The harvesting and distillation process
Ylang-ylang trees grow quickly, reaching heights of up to 12 meters. To facilitate harvesting and increase productivity, they are regularly pruned and kept at about 3 meters. The essential oil is extracted by distilling the tree's small blossoms. Ylang-ylang trees need three to four years to grow before harvesting, but after that, they can continue to produce flowers for up to 30 years or more. With proper care, a tree can yield up to 10 kilograms of fresh blossoms per year.
The blossoms turn yellow when they are ripe and ready to be harvested. The flowers grow year-round, but the main harvest season is from April to June, right after the rainy season. The harvesters (mostly women) pick the blossoms early in the morning when they are open and filling the air with their sweet fragrance.
The blossoms must be distilled within 24 hours of harvesting. Otherwise, they lose their aroma, and the yield of essential oil during distillation is reduced. Distillation takes 18 to 24 hours. Due to the large volume of blossoms required to produce the essential oil, the entire process demands a tremendous collaborative effort.
What does ylang-ylang smell like?
doTERRA Ylang Ylang has a sweet, exotic, and floral fragrance. It is intense, rich, and slightly fruity, with a warm and comforting undertone. The scent is often described as very sensual and romantic, which makes it particularly popular in the perfume industry. It also has a slightly tropical, honeyed note reminiscent of the warm, humid climates where the flowers thrive.

The quality and purity of essential oils are crucial for their effectiveness. doTERRA guarantees that its essential oils are 100% pure and contain no synthetic additives, fillers, or harmful chemicals. They are neither diluted nor blended with inferior oils.
It is important to note that the purity and authenticity of essential oils can vary depending on the manufacturer. Therefore, when selecting essential oils, it is advisable to choose trusted brands that test their products for quality, purity, and efficacy and provide transparent information about their sourcing practices.
The chemistry of ylang ylang
Main chemical components: germacrene, karyophyllene
Two of the main chemical components of ylang-ylang essential oil are karyophyllene and germazene. These two chemical components belong to the sesquiterpene group. The unique chemistry and fragrance of ylang-ylang promote feelings of calm when used aromatically. A recent study conducted by several Korean universities found that karyophyllene contributes to healthy cell growth when taken orally.
The synergy between essential oils and energy work
Essential oils are known not only for their pleasant fragrances but also for their ability to work on a subtle level . They possess a high energetic frequency that can influence the body's energy system. The vibrations of these oils can help release blockages in the energy body and harmonize the vibrations, which is crucial in many energy-based practices.
When working with energy centers , such as the chakras, essential oils act as amplifiers by stimulating specific vibrations and supporting the flow of energy. They can help open energy pathways and balance vibrations at a higher level, promoting deeper harmony between body and mind.
The use of essential oils in spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, or Reiki can intensify the energetic process by raising energy levels and strengthening the connection to the higher self . The vibrations of essential oils support the natural flow of energy and help achieve a deeper spiritual opening. Through their specific influence on the energetic body, they promote the release of negative or stagnant energies that could block the natural flow.
Essential oils also help promote mental clarity and stabilize emotional balance by raising energetic vibration. They facilitate the achievement of focused, meditative states and support the healing process through the vibration of the subtle energy levels of the body.
How do you use essential oils in energy work?
To use essential oils in energy work, you can apply them in various ways to maximize their energetic effect. One of the simplest methods is inhalation , where you add a few drops of the oil to a diffuser or simply breathe in directly from the bottle. This helps to align the oil's vibrations directly with your energy body and promotes rapid energetic balancing.
You can also use essential oils topically by diluting them with a carrier oil and applying them to specific areas of the body, such as the wrists, neck, chest, or along the energy centers (chakras), to enhance their energetic effect. This is particularly helpful during chakra work or Reiki sessions, as it supports the flow of energy by harmonizing the oil's vibrations with your energetic system.
No matter how you use them, essential oils can help you promote energetic balance, release blockages, and deepen your energy work. And don't forget: your intention plays a vital role in your energy work with essential oils.
