Ylang ylang essential oil, pronounced “Ee-lang Ee-lang,” receives its common name from the repetition of the Tagalog word “ilang,” meaning “wilderness,” which is where the tree is naturally found.
Essential oils, also known as "liquid gold", are called "Western Chinese medicines" in Western countries. They are distilled, cold pressed, and fat-sucked from the flowers, stems, leaves, fruits, peels, seeds, roots, etc. of plants.
