Welcome to another of Organica J’s Top Ten Uses! This month I will be focusing on 10 helpful uses for Ylang Ylang essential oil (cananga odorata).
As a clinical aromatherapist, I have used ylang ylang in a lot of treatments! I also have ylang ylang as an important component of my ‘Love’ blend, The name means ‘flower of flowers’, which gives you a clue to its fragrance. It is used a lot in perfumes. As it such a ‘heady’ fragrance, you only need to use a little to have the effect that you require – less is more with this oil.
It has always been traditionally known as an aphrodisiac, which. will be because of its hugely calming, relaxing properties, but pigeon holing this oil is a mistake, it has so many applications. It is simply a fantastic addition to a blend. My favourite mix – in my ‘Love’ Blend is sweet orange, ylang ylang, patchouli and jasmine. These oils just have a fabulous synergy together.
Here are my opinion of the top ten uses of beautiful ylang ylang
1. Softens and balances moisture in the skin 2. May help to reduce high blood pressure 3. Calming for anxiety and shock. 4. Stabilising when you are feeling emotions of anger or rage 5. Gently, but powerfully uplifting 6. Can be useful for sexual issues that arise from anxiety. 7. Can be helpful for moderating menstrual mood swings 8. It blends well with many oils, such as clary sage, lavender, neroli, frankincense and rose geranium.
9. Can be very helpful to aid relaxation and so sleep.
10. it is a reputed aphrodisiac, perfect to use in a sensual blend.
The ylang ylang essential oil that I have in stock is from Madagascar. There are four or five distillation grades of Ylang ylang, these are premier, extra, first, second and third. I like to use the ‘complete’ ylang ylang, which is a blend of ylang ylang extra and grade 1 and 2. Which allows it to be more economic and accessible, but I feel, with no real compromise to the quality of the oil.
Ylang ylang has a powerful floral and sweet fragrance
The tropical tree is mainly found in Indonesia and Madagascar and flowers all year around in these climates. It is a light yellowish colour liquid.
If you wish to use this oil on skin always blend in a carrier oil, as a rough guide 1 drop of blend to 5ml of carrier oil
If you feel this would be a useful oil for you, you can buy organic Ylang Ylang Essential Oil from Organica J.
For using essential oils for specific or complex medical problems always contact a qualified aromatherapist or check with your GP.
After the heat, or for some of us, its still warm out there. Do you need help with summer insects and insect Bites, if they are a problem for you? Here are some aromatherapy tips and possible solutions for you
Its that time of the year when all insects and bugs are aplenty and we are spending more time out of doors than we probably normally do, so are more at risk from insect bites.
So, firstly some oils you can use to repel insects – citronella, tea tree, peppermint,lemongrass, lavender , lemon scented tea tree, bog myrtle and thyme. Of this list tea tree and lavender is a great treatment for bites too. If you don’t want to blend up your own oils, we have our own Midges & Mozzie Balm ready made that can do the trick. You you can simply pop a jar into your rucksack, or have on the table when you have your BBQ to get the problem sorted. The Balm comes in four different sizes. Midges and Mozzie Balm is great for treating insect bites too.
I have had customers embarking on a test of the balms this week (along with some other products such as garlic tablets and B vitamins) on their holidays. So I will let you know how they get on with everything.
But if you wish to blend your own mix – a suggested blend to repel insects such as midges, flies etc is citronella 8 drops, tea tree 5 drops, lavender 6 drops and peppermint 3 drops, put in around 30ml of water in a spray bottle and shake each time before use (avoid eyes). If it is a few weeks before you use again, make up a new batch. This blend can be used in an oil burner in a room to help deter insects, such as in the kitchen or 2 to 3 drops on a tissue or cotton wool ball.
Alternatively, if abroad and mosquitoes are the problem, I will always have the Midges and Mozzie Balm with me, but also I like to use the above blend with the addition of 4 drops of lemon scented tea tree or lemongrass. I usually make up around 5-10ml of this blend – just simply multiply the blend equally to make a larger quantity. (1ml is approximately 20 drops)
Its easy to transport a 5 or 10ml bottle of the pure blend and a small jar or midges and Mozzie. I take a 30ml spray bottle with me, and once abroad, I dispense around 20-25 drops into the bottle and fill with water – shake before each use (avoid eye) and refresh the blend every few days or when finished.
I can’t go out in the evening abroad without the midges and mozzie balm applied or the above blend. It really helps me avoid unsightly and painful, itchy insect bites. I do also take a vitamin B supplement regularly, which I believe, is also helpful for me.
If you have concerns on medications or medical conditions, always check with the GP or a qualified aromatherapist. For any specific aromatherapy questions contact a fully qualified clinical aromatherapist.
I am delighted to introduce the new I Am Calm Collection to Organica J’s artisan aromatherapy organic skincare range.
We offer three new After Shower, Bath & Body Oils. Use after shower, in the bath, as a body moisturiser or massage oil. The I Am Calm After Shower, Bath & Body Oils can be used as a meditation aid/tool.
Meditation and Calmology
I formulated these oils while undertaking a two year Calmology course with Sandy C Newbigging. Sandy is a best selling author, therapist and I found him to be an inspirational teacher. I graduated as a Calmologist in November 2020. I enjoy my meditation practice greatly, and I occasionally offer teaching too. It has brought me personally so much more peace, calm. It was a very natural progression for me, as an aromatherapist to create new aromatherapy products that can be used to promote peace and calm, joy and love in those who enjoy them.
Arnie Creations
I worked in collaboration with my dear friend Andrea at Arnie Creations. on this project She is a wonderful artist, and art therapist, who is an extremely experienced meditator. In lockdown, she voluntarily led a meditation group online to connect with and support people. Andrea created the wonderful artwork on the new I Am Calm Collection. Another incredibly inspirational human being! Thank you, Andrea 🙂

Welcome to another of Organica J’s Top Ten Uses! This month I will be focusing on 10 helpful uses for Petitgrain essential oil (citrus uranium var. amara).
When working as a clinical aromatherapist, I love using petitgrain. It has been known in the aromatherapy circles as a ‘poor mans neroli’ as it is less expensive than its sister oil neroli (from the blossom of the orange tree).
But in my opinion, it very much has its own special place in aromatherapy. It is beautiful and so uplifting and comforting. I have a friend, and colleague in Aromatherapy, that loves to wear it as.a perfume.
Here are my opinion of the top ten uses of lovely Petitgrain
1. Insomnia especially if that is through loneliness and or emotional upset. 2. Uplift of mood 3. Stabilising skin – a tonic effect especially oily 4. Refreshing and deodorising 5. Comforting after illness and upset of modd 6. Soothes irritability and frustration 7. Calming for digestive system 8. It blends well with many oils, such as lavender, sweet orange, rose, geranium to create a great synergy
9. May be helpful for S.A.D.
10. it has antiseptic properties
The petitgrain I have in stock right now is from Paraguay . The petitgrain essential oil has a gorgeous fresh, floral scent with a woody tone. It is produced from the leaves of the bitter orange tree.
The tree is native to China and India, but is cultivated in temperate climates, such as France, Paraquay, Italy and Spain. Petitgrain is an evergreen tree. It is steam distilled. Petitgrain essential oil is a pale yellow or light amber coloured liquid.
If you wish to use this oil on skin always blend in a carrier oil, as a rough guide 1 drop of blend to 5ml of carrier oil
If you feel this would be a useful oil for you, you can buy from Organic Petitgrain Essential Oil from NHR Oils.
For using essential oils for specific or complex medical problems always contact a qualified aromatherapist or check with your GP.
