BATH

MISTING
- Mix 20 drops with 4 ounces distilled water in a cobalt blue glass or PET plastic bottle, shake well and mist into the environment as desired.
TOPICAL
- Add 10-20 drops to cream or lotion. Ylang Ylang has the extraordinary ability to relax facial muscles. We pack a lot into these muscles – anger, hate, rage, and frustration. We “keep face,” and grind our teeth. These expressions eventually become plainly visible in facial contours and create a permanent facial landscape. The most beneficial cosmetic treatment is a relaxed face. Here, a massage with Ylang Ylang works wonders. It is also very effective for tension headaches. If the fragrance seems too sweet, tone it down with orange or lemon.
