Ylang Ylang is indigenous to Southeast Asia and has long been one of the most important raw materials for perfume making. Ylang Ylang oil is deeply calming by nature and has a supportive action toward the Heart system.

This oil acts to smooth and move the flow of stagnant Qi caused by an accumulation of stress or emotions that has led to irritability, insomnia, or restlessness. Some sources consider Frankincense oil as working to strengthen the immune system and thereby supporting the Defensive or Wei-Qi.
