Chamomile (Anthemic nobilis) is probably one of the oldest known medicinal plants. It was regarded as the plant’s physician and was thought to keep other plants in good health. Roman chamomile is one of the most commonly used in herbology and is an excellent calming and soothing oil. Refreshing and aromatic, it is produced in France, Morocco, Spain, and Egypt.
Ylang-Ylang (Unona odorantissimum), which means "flower of flowers", is a tree that produces beautiful yellow flowers. In the Molucca Islands, people soak ylang-ylang and cucuma flowers in coconut to prepare an ointment called borri-borri that they use for skin and hair care. It has a soothing effect on the skin and is recommended for oily skin. Its fragrance is sweet, voluptuous and exotic. Most notably it is cultivated in Reunion, the Comoro Islands, Madagascar, Java, Sumatra, and the Philippines.
