For Serenity Blend – ‘feminine’ and Sultry Night, you can use 3 drops of ylang ylang to a 10 ml carrier oil. The other two, you can use 1 to 2 drops t0 a 5 ml carrier oil. As a guide, for beauty and well being, use 3 drops of essential oil for each 10 ml carrier oil. For health care, 3 to 5 drops for each 10 ml carrier oil.

Hmm, your reply wasn’t specific enough to me. You already show us we need to dilute by telling us to use only 1 or 2 drops of the other oils in the recipes added to 10 or 15 ml grapeseed or sweet almond oil. So my question is, how many drops of Ylang Ylang should be in the recipes? Thanks so much, sorry I wasn’t more clear in my original question. ~ cindy

Essential oils are very potent and concentrated, so it’s necessary to dilute them, and should never be applied in its undiluted form on our delicate skin. Diluting means to combine it with carrier oils. Hope this helps

I enjoyed this article very much. I knew Ylang Ylang was good for panic attacks, but not about its uses for infectious fevers or weak heart. I would like to ask, though, about the amount of Y.Y. in the recipes — did you mean 5 or 10 drops instead of 5 or 10 ml? Or what did you mean by “diluted Ylang Ylang”? It would be helpful if you would clarify that.
Thanks so much for the information ~ cindy
