Jasmine oil, known for its aphrodisiac properties, has been highly sought after throughout history. Used in healing and religious ceremonies, the oil was also used in China to purify air in sick rooms, even before bacteria were discovered. Ancient Egyptians used it for treating headaches, nervous disorders, and promoting a good sleep.
Nowadays, the essence is extracted through a method called solvent extraction. The enchanting, floral aroma of jasmine not only uplifts mood and acts as an aphrodisiac, but studies also show that its smell can enhance alertness, hand-eye coordination, self-confidence, happiness, and reduce stress.
Therapeutically, jasmine treats dry, mature skin, and in low concentrations, it can manage eczema and dermatitis. It's helpful in fading scars and treating stretch marks post-pregnancy. Jasmine can alleviate anger, anxiety, and stress without sedating effects. It promotes clear thinking, bringing calmness and balance, and reduces inflammation linked to emotional stress.
Jasmine boosts libido, liberates inhibitions, and stirs sexual desire. It can regulate menstrual cycles, alleviate period pain, fatigue, and mood swings, and can also delay menopause onset.
