Choosing The Right Grade Of Ylang Ylang Oil

To get the optimum healing properties of any essential oil it is important to choose a high-grade quality essential oil. I have tried many different essential oil brands over the last 30 years NYR Organics Ylang Ylang Oil and Doterra Ylang are my favourites in relation to quality of grade.

NYR Organics tends to be lower priced and are UK’s first certified organic health and beauty brand, I LOVE that NYR is a brand of high integrity, and the safe and effective use of essential oils is clear in their products and marketing.

Doterra don’t seem to be as clear on safety and effectiveness, and all I am going to say I have personally witnessed too many skin burns and other toxicity issues due to incorrect advice and used by some of their ambassadors.
