The cananga tree is native to tropical Asia and is a member of the sugar apple family. Traditionally used in Ayurvedic health practices, Indonesians place cananga flowers on honeymooners’ pillows to guarantee a happy life. Extracted by steam distillation, Cananga essential oil comes from its vibrant yellow flowers. The same tree provides Ylang Ylang oil, although Cananga has a slightly less floral scent than Ylang Ylang oil. When looking for a natural mood elevator, Cananga improves attitude and induces calmness.
