Ylang Ylang means "flower of flowers" and has been used for centuries in tropical areas of Asia including the Philippines, Indonesia and the Polynesian islands. The flowers were and are still traditionally used in Indonesia to decorate the bed of newlywed couples on their wedding night due to its uplifting and aphrodisiac qualities. Ylang Ylang is known for its sedative, antidepressant, beautifying and mood-enhancing aphrodisiac properties. It is beneficial for the immune system, cardiovascular system and endocrine system, relaxing the body and freeing the mind from negative emotions.

Ylang ylang essential oil is also used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, improve mood, and increase libido. Additionally, ylang ylang essential oil is said to act as a natural insect repellent, promote wound healing, and diminish the appearance of scars when applied to the skin.
