Product Description: Cananga odorata is a plant species commonly known as ylang-ylang. It is a tropical tree that produces fragrant flowers used in perfumes and aromatherapy. It is native to Southeast Asia and commonly found in Polynesia, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. The essential oil derived from the ylang-ylang flowers is used in aromatherapy for its relaxing and uplifting properties. In traditional medicine, ylang-ylang oil has been used to treat anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, and skin conditions. The tree is also cultivated for its timber, which is used in cabinetry and furniture.

Ylang Ylang Essential Oil #1 is the highest quality oil and is obtained during the first few hours of distillation. This oil has the sweetest and most floral aroma. It is known to have a calming effect on the mind and body, helps reduce anxiety, and promotes relaxation.

Ylang Ylang Essential Oil #2 is collected during the second or third hour of distillation. It has a slightly less sweet and less floral aroma than the #1 grade oil. This oil is also used for aromatherapy and in personal care products.

Ylang Ylang Essential Oil #3 is collected during the later stage of distillation and is the least expensive grade of Ylang Ylang oil. It has a more robust, slightly bitter, and more medicinal scent than the first two grades. This oil is used in industrial applications such as soaps, detergents, and fragrances.

Overall, it is important to consider the grade of Ylang Ylang Essential Oil when purchasing it for therapeutic or cosmetic purposes.
