With it's funny, spider-like shape, the flower that produces this oil is highly aromatic and known to provide dramatic effects on the nervous system, even relieving anger outbursts, anxiety, depression, and frustration.
Ylang Ylang trees grow primarily in Asia, and range from 60-65 feet tall.
Flowers are harvested only in the nighttime hours.
Although trees produce the flowers all year long, they are most abundant in the spring of the year.

Cautions
Although it is non-toxic and non-irritant, excessive amounts may cause sensitivity and nausea. This oil is a vegan product and for massage therapy you should add 2-3 drops of the essential oil to 3 tablespoons of carrier oil.
I always recommend organic essential oil, and essential oils do not come any purer than doTERRA.
