Ylang Ylang Essential Oil
Ylang ylang essential oil is another feminine-friendly aromatherapy oil which helps ease the depression or anger of PMS and the negative, down-in-the-dumps feeling felt by many who are going through menopause. Ylang ylang can be added in drops to your favorite skin or hair lotion to give off a nice fragrance and also nourish the scalp and hair. You can diffuse this oil, add it to massage oil for a relaxing experience or even add a drop to your favorite smoothie or juice drink. Ylang ylang was also considered an aphrodisiac by some cultures, who lined the marriage bed with its flowers.
