5 plant medicines to help with stress.

The truth is that plants, flowers, and herbs can nourish and heal.
YLANG YLANG
Cananga odorata
Origin | Philippines
Ylang Ylang (pronounced "EE-lang EE-lang" ) is a beautiful yellow flower that grows on the Cananga tree. The name comes from a Philippine’s dialect meaning “flower of flowers.” Native to tropical South Asian countries, ylang-ylang is also found in the rainforests of Indonesia where I totally fell in love with this addictive scent. Ylang ylang can help decrease blood pressure and create a relaxing effect. The sweet floral aroma is great for when you need to rest and relax, but you aren’t seeking a sedative effect. The oil opens the fifth Chakra allowing you to flow through stressful situations with ease, harmony, and peace.
