The name “ylang ylang” aptly means “flower of flowers.” It is known for its intensely sweet almond and jasmine scent, but its exotic aroma is only part of its story. The French chemists Garnier and Rechler discovered ylang ylang was effective against malaria, typhus and infections of the intestinal tract at the beginning of the twentieth century. Their research also showed it had a calming effect on the heart. The essential oil is steam distilled from the freshly picked flowers, and is used by aromatherapists to soothe and prevent anger born of frustration. The aroma is also purported to be an aphrodisiac, and can help ease nervous tension and symptoms of depression.
