Latin name: Cananga odorata. Plant part used: Flowers. Source: Camores. Extraction method: Steam distillation. Ylang-ylang is a large tree native to Far Eastern countries such as Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia. Its yellow flowers are strongly fragrant and have long, drooping petals. The essential oil extracted from it is abundant and therefore the most affordable. However, it is highly prized in the perfume and cosmetic industries for its fragrance and is now also used in the food industry. Scientific research shows that organic ylang-ylang essential oil has a mentally stimulating effect. In aromatherapy, however, this oil is considered one of the best for relaxing the body and mind. The mere smell is said to lower blood pressure. Taking a bath with the oil or using it in a massage oil naturally enhances the relaxation experience. It is used to relieve stress, depression, shock, and anxiety. As a hair tonic, it is said to balance sebum production. Be aware, however, that high concentrations of ylang-ylang can cause headaches or nausea. Ylang-ylang means "flower of flowers" in Malay and was traditionally considered an aphrodisiac and relaxing scent. Therefore, in Indonesia, the blossoms of this tree were sprinkled on the marital beds of newlyweds. Muslim women burned this oil to perfume their harem, the part of the palace reserved for women. In China, the scent was used to purify the robes of mandarins. Ylang-ylang essential oil has long been associated with perfume and relaxation.
