Ylang Ylang, also known as "poor man's Jasmine", is a staple essential oil that all essential oil users should have in their collection. Ylang Ylang is a multifaceted essential oil with a great variety of uses. Use Ylang Ylang to relieve everyday tension and stress, stimulate and balance circulation, and even promote self-confidence. You can even use this wonderful oil to relieve general pain, alleviate symptoms brought on by allergies, calm the skin, combat excess oil, and support healthy hair.
The essential oil Ylang Ylang is distilled in âÂÂfractionsâÂÂ, which means that the oil is taken off at different stages based on time. The difference in the grades Extra, 1, 2, 3, and Complete are based on the amount of time spent in the distillation process. The different grades do not indicate the quality of the oilâÂÂrather, the difference in aroma and constituents. The first fraction extracted is called âÂÂextraâÂÂ, and it requires about two hours of distillation. The aroma is sweeter, more fruity, and contains more esters. The full distillation takes about 15 hours and creates Ylang Ylang Complete, which has a rich, herbaceous aroma and more sesquiterpenes.
