Applying ylang ylang with massage therapy?

Question

Answer 1

Tasha,

I like to put Ylang Ylang with Clary Sage and sometimes Lavender on my moist towels in my Hot Stone baster (not the towel warmer) This way as the steam from the towels goes into the room, so does the oils. Yummy!    Have fun with that. ;)

Answer 2

What sort of information are you looking for in the oil? The properties?

Ylang Ylang is sensual, sedative, aphrodisic. It halps to ease tension, relieve stress and relaxes the muscles and mind. Usually can be used on its own in massagees and aromatherapy. For massage, just about 2-3 drops of it with 10ml base oil. It really depends on what kind of massage you're doing but I would suggest Swedish or Aroma as they are light and relaxing.

Answer 3

I think it's a muscle relaxant, a soothing sort of oil. But that's off the top of my head. Do a search for pure essential oils and the catalog sites will give you lots of info. Also, do a search for aromatherapy. Good luck

Answer 4

Ylang Ylang is a great relaxing oil for a massage. You should try to mix with a mixing oil if you are using a 100% pure essential oil.  the oil alone may cause skin sensitivity.  It is a calming oil and should be applied on the spine known as the raindrop technique.  I use it as a perfume.
