Ylang Ylang, also known as "perfume tree", is a small tropical plant, which is native to the Philippines and grows in the Philippines, Indonesia and Madagascar. In Malay, ylang ylang is called "flower among flowers". Indonesians also have an ancient tradition: newlyweds have ylang ylang petals on their beds. The effect of Yilan Yilan's fame can be imagined. Although ylang ylang is sometimes called "the jasmine of the poor", in fact, it always appears in high-end perfumes.

[Sun] The Legend of Plant Elves

? 19 century ago, the Philippines monopolized the global market, and later the French brought it to Africa for planting. The routes of transmission are reunion island, Madagascar and Camaro. At the beginning of the 20th century, chemists Canil and Canil did some research in reunion island. They found that ylang ylang has a good effect on diseases, macula, typhoid fever and other fevers, and used ylang ylang essential oil as an antibacterial agent for intestinal infection, diarrhea and flatulence, pointing out that ylang ylang has the effect of regulating the heart and calming the nerves. Ylang ylang is listed as an antibacterial agent for lung and urinary system and an aphrodisiac.

It takes about five years for ylang ylang to pick flowers and extract essential oils, and the yield of ylang ylang is the highest until the age of ten. Ylang ylang flower is gorgeous, with 3 small petals inside and 6 large petals outside. There is a difference between inside and outside, and the flower-shaped teeth are exposed, which is also expressing the power of extension and penetration. Flowers mature quickly, turn green at first and turn yellow in about 20 days. But because it changes color gradually, we can't judge whether it is mature by color, only by whether there are two red dots in the flower heart. We must distill it immediately after picking, otherwise we can't get the complete esters that can produce psychological effects. The best quality essential oil is extracted from flowers picked in early summer morning. In terms of yield, an average of 3 liters of essential oil can be obtained per 100 kg of flowers.

? The petals of ylang ylang are distilled, which can be divided into five grades according to the different volatilization rates of the components contained in the essential oil, and their efficacy is also different. The first essential oil in the distillation process has the strongest fragrance. It is super ylang ylang ylang, which is often used in aromatherapy and religious activities, focusing on psychological and emotional conditioning. At the end of distillation, sesquiterpenes are distilled out, which is pure ylang ylang flower dew. The smell is not so strong, but it still has a conditioning effect and is the most important essential oil to improve the body level.
