Description

Jasmine is a bush from which the flowers are either extracted by the labour-intensive method of enfleurage (making it extremely expensive but a pure absolute great for aromatherapeutic use) or through chemical extraction. Jasmine oil is considered the King of oils with its rich long lasting aroma. The reason it is so expensive is because of the enormous amount of flowers needed to produce a small amount of oil. The flowers have to be gathered at night for the odour of jasmine is more powerful after dark. They are laid out on cotton cloths soaked in olive oil for several days, then extracted leaving the true Jasmine essence. Some of the countries of origin for Jasmine oil are India, Egypt, China and Morocco. Its chemical constituents include methyl anthranilate, indol, benzyl alcohol and linalol.

Jasmine Absolute is known as a “woman’s oil” and as a uterine tonic it is good for menstrual pain and cramps. It has also been said to be very helpful in childbirth when used as a massage oil in the early stages of labour. It may also help with the delivery of the placenta after delivery and aid postnatal recovery.

This oil has a reputation as an aphrodisiac, helping to relax and address sexual problems. On the emotional level, Jasmine may be relaxing and emotionally warming, and has the potential to be a  powerful antidepressant of a stimulating nature, which is wonderful where lethargy or a lack of confidence has set in.

In skincare, Jasmine Absolute is useful for all skin types, but especially for those individuals with dry, sensitive skin. It must be used in small amounts though, as too much can have the opposite effect of what is needed.
