Ylang Ylang is widely known as a ‘sexy time’ oil but does it have other benefits beyond the bedroom…?

The answer of course is yes!

This is a must have oil in a womens personal toolkit.
Ylang Ylang has been used for centuries in perfumes, personal products and in religious ceremonies plus has a tonne of epic properties.

It even sounds sexy right?!

Ylang Ylang is an oil you can turn to when you want to feel happy, centered and relaxed. Apply to wrists or inhale straight from the bottle, perfect for complimenting any meditation or journalling practice!

You can also use it in your evening
regime to help promote healthy looking hair and skin. Either add a few drops to your shampoo, moisturizer or do yourself a favour and have regular steam facial with a drop of ylang ylang!

According to the Emotions and Essential Oils book Ylang Ylang is the oil of the inner child. Ylang Ylang can help you bring more joy and child like play to your life (who doesn’t need some of that?!). It can also be used to support you emotionally when moving through any trauma, especially from your childhood. It helps emotions to flow naturally through the body & supports the heart.

Pass me a bottle….. ploise!!

Growing, picking and distilling Ylang Ylang is a pretty long and laborious process. Really? Yup really!

doTERRA source Ylang Ylang from growers in Madagascar and it can take 3-4 years for the tree to grow and be ready for the flowers to be harvested. Then once ready, the flowers can only be harvested from December to March each year! How epic is mama nature?

Ylang Ylang blends well with Bergamot, Geranium, Wild Orange, Grapefruit, Tangerine, Lemon, Sandalwood, Majoram or Vetiver.

I used to love these smelly things, along with anything else smelly... that was until I realized exactly what they were made of. So this week in a bid to make our bathroom and laundry smelling like roses 24/7 I had a crack at making my very own DIY Reed Diffuser! And it was SO easy. YOU NEED - an empty reed diffuser or old skinny vase - bamboo skewers - witch hazel - essential oils - distilled water I grabbed some cheap reed diffusers from Kmart about a year ago. I emptied the toxic concoction out, soaked them in soapy water (about 45 times lol) then filled with vinegar and let dry. I would suggest you just buy new empty ones though 😂 HOW TO MAKE Hold onto your seats cos it’s pretty easy! >Half fill with witch hazel. >Add essential oils. I chose lemongrass, citrus bliss and cedarwood. About 20 drops! >Then top with distilled water. >Pop your reeds in and let them soak for an hour or so then flip them over. >Flip your reeds daily or when the aroma has disapated. Some other oil blends you might like: •Purify and Peppermint •Ylang Ylang, Bergamot and Lime •Lemongrass, Lemon Myrtle and Lime •Lemon, Spearmint and Purify •Lavender, Lemon and Green Mandarin Don’t have oils yet and wanna get your DIY on? Head to thegroundedmama.com to purchase or DM me for more info! 🌱
Essentials oils come from the leaves, bark, stems, roots and flowers from our plants, fruits and trees. As EO’s become increasingly popular, more and more companies are entering the market. This is due to a growing demand. But... not all oils are created equally. Pure doesn’t equal quality. Pure doesn’t equal potency. Pure doesn’t equal safe. There is no ‘standard’ for EOs. Just like the beauty industry isn’t regulated. BUT many doTERRA oils are approved by the various bodies in each country as ‘food safe’. In fact the food industry is the largest users of EOs!!! But with any great demand comes some some not so great practices. Kinda like chinese sweat shops and $4 jeans... 😱 That’s where the #doterradifference comes in. Furst... Let’s chat about profits. Most companies, naturally so, are all about the $$. They create products, to sell them on, and then in turn make a decent profit. doTERRA however entered the EO market to create a difference. To create an industry where EOs were in every home. To heal communities of poverty, to help heal families. One drop, one person and one community at a time. doTERRA is a billion dollar company that is privately owned. Debt free. With no one to answer to but the people who put their homes & families on the line to create their vision. We heard last week of some adulteration testing APRC have been doing. Did you know over 80% of Essential Oils on today’s market are adulterated in some way? Scary really! Only three companies passed every si for test. One being doTERRA and the other two were small boutique companies. You see, 100% Pure doesn’t always mean 100% Pure. Much like ‘organic’ or ‘natural’ doesn’t mean much on the shelves at Coles or Woolies. But the doTERRA difference is their own commitment to quality, purity and potency. We were reminder last week about the time that Bergamot sources were low. Most companies were adulterating their oil to continue to make it available. But doTERRA, when it became known the oil after testing was only around 90% pure, they took it off the market until it met their company standard of 100%. APRC said THIS is why doTERRA will thrive, because of (cont below 👇🏻)
After three beautiful days immersed in the culture that surrounds doTERRA I have found it really bloody hard reintegrating back into my 9-5 life, not to mention parenting life. The energy, the passion, the commitment that this company holds truly is #thedoterradifference Imma gunna be sharing a whole lot more about the ‘why’ over the coming days. Stay tuned ✨
