According to one study, ylang ylang essential oil is highly effective for fighting anxiety by promoting feelings of calm.
In the study, 144 volunteers were randomly exposed to the aromas of ylang ylang, peppermint, or no aroma. The researchers found that while peppermint enhanced memory and alertness, ylang ylang significantly increased calmness. [1]
Meanwhile, recent studies have found that tangerine oil has a relaxing, sedative effect. [2]
