Because the scent can be expected to calm down, relax, and stabilize the mind.
We recommend using it as described above.
It is also recommended for skin care as it has a sebum regulating effect.
Experiments have shown that it increases estrogen levels.
It may be a good idea to smell it when you feel anxious or irritated.
It is also good for reducing muscle pain and spasms.
It can also be used as care after sports.
The scent is very strong, so be careful with the amount you use.
As a compatible essential oil
These include citrus, geranium, rose, and jasmine.
Personally, I use a 2:1 blend of citrus essential oil and ylang-ylang essential oil.
I recommend the scent.
