INCI Name

What is it?

A classic cooking herb and the oil has a light, fresh, sweet and spicy note with a balsamic undertone. It is a very good digestive helping with nausea and gas and helps to tone the small intestines. It is also good for travel sickness. As an emmenagogue, it will help with scanty periods but obviously do not use in pregnancy. Being a mild sedative it does help with insomnia and is an adrenal cortex stimulant.

Skin Care

Useful to use on stings and bites and to some extent as an insect repellent.

Hair Care

It is a very good nervine so helps with nervous tension and clears the head. This would make it a lovely choice to use in shampoos and body washes to relieve mental fatigue but be aware of the cautions.

Suggested Blends

Blends very nicely for fragrance with citrus notes like lime or bergamot. It takes some of the sweetness off ylang ylang and adds a peppery spice note making it smell very complex as a fragrance. Consider other “green” notes such as geranium.

Caution

Do not use during pregnancy. Some people can become sensitised.
