Cananga Essential Oil

Cananga oil has a lot in common with ylang-ylang essential oil; it resides in the same family, but is less floral and greener when it comes to aroma. It’s most important use is in cosmetics and perfumes. It has aphrodisiac properties that stimulate hormones and can boost the libido. Its antiseptic qualities can provide stimulation of the circulatory system to help ease tension and alleviate feelings that come from everyday stress. Cananga oil can be used in skincare to promote rejuvenation, and to ease discomfort from insect bites.
• Floral scent that’s slightly woodsy.
• Reduces tension and stress.

HOW TO USE

Essential oils have the natural ability to heal, soothe, and stimulate. With antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, essential oils have a wide variety of uses.

Sniff essential oils right from the bottle for an instant pick-me-up, to relive anxiety, or to induce relaxation. Add to carrier oil, such as jojoba, and use in a soothing massage. Place a few drops in diffuser to eliminate household odors. Add to cleaning products for more antibacterial and antimicrobial power. During cold and flu season, diffuse daily to stimulate immunity. Mix with carrier oil and apply to the skin to heal wounds. Add a drop or two to your face serum and apply daily to and protect skin against the signs of aging.

Before applying to skin, do a patch test.

How to patch test – Wash, clean, and dry the area on your upper arm near the crook of your elbow. Apply small amount of essential oil and cover with a bandage. Leave the bandage on for 24 hours, then remove and check for irritation. If skin looks clear and there is no reaction after the allotted test time, the oil is presumably safe to use. If you feel irritation at any time duringthe test, remove bandage and wash area with soap and water.
