Ylang-Ylang

L'Ylang-Ylang, or Unona odorantissima, is a herb that comes from the Far East, the Philippines, Java and Madagascar.

It is widely used in perfumery thanks to its intense scent. Its function, among remedies for sexual problems, is to act as a powerful relaxant of the nervous system.

There are cases of impotence or frigidity arising from excessive tension, from a sort of fear of sex, from the fear of failing or of not being equal to the situation. These feelings help to worsen situations that are already far from brilliant, laying the ground for complete failure.

The accelerated breathing or tachycardia that may appear in preparation for a romantic encounter can cause difficulties which, since they do not derive from true physiological impotence, can be overcome by a sedative action on the nervous system.

Ylang-Ylang is available from herbalists in the form of an essence and can be used in view of a particularly demanding encounter.

To prepare mind and body for a satisfying erotic and romantic performance, it is therefore advisable to take 3 or 4 drops of Ylang-Ylang essence on a sugar lump three or four times during the day.

Success will be assured.

Rubbing the wrists and temples with an alcoholic solution of Ylang-Ylang essence will also help to create that soothing and, at the same time magnetic atmosphere which paves the way for a happy love affair.
