Healing With Jasmine Oil

Regarded as the "King of flower oils", Jasmine is an effective aphrodisiac, bring out inner desires and restoring sexual energy. Used as a massage oil or room fragrance, it is soothing and uplifting.

Jasmine warms the emotions, calms the nerves and dispels feelings of apathy and listlessness, replacing them with energy and optimism.

It takes three million Jasmine flowers to create a single pound of essential oil; they must be hand-picked before dawn, and the essence is skillfully extracted, using alcohol solvents.

Midwives have used Jasmine for centuries to strengthen contractions and speed up delivery ( wow ..wish I knew that before I used the Castor oil!!). It also helps to balance the new mother's hormones, especially when combined with either Rose or Neroli oils.

Jasmine has skin-softening properties and is beneficial to dry, sensitive or inflamed skin, especially when the condition is related to stress.
