Jasmine is a delicately scented evergreen creeper plant native to China and India, with small, white, star-shaped flowers that are picked at night when the fragrance is strongest. Jasmine essential oil has a sweet, exotic and rich floral scent. It is more expensive than most oils because its distillation is more complex. Jasmine essential oil helps you relax, relieves depression, lifts your mood and boosts self-confidence.
This oil is said to calm the nerves, provide a sense of confidence and optimism while harmonizing energy. It heals coughs and laryngitis, and is also useful in massage oil to relax muscle aches, swelling and stiff limbs. Jasmine essential oil tones dry, oily or sensitive skin, increasing its elasticity and reducing stretch marks and scarring.
Jasmine has been considered a sacred flower in India for centuries and is used to make wreaths for Hindu gods and goddesses. Jasmine is often worn as a hair ornament by Indian women and is also one of the most common flowers in wedding wreaths.
