The Famous Jasmine Oil
Natural and Refreshing
How jasmine oil is used as a natural healer
Jasmine is probably best known as an aphrodisiac. Very little scientific evidence supports this practice but that doesn't stop people in Thailand from sprinkling the blossoms on the marriage bed of newlyweds or aromatherapists in the U.S. from prescribing the essential oil for severe sexual inhibition.
Jasmine has long been regarded as a “woman's oil”. Traditional Chinese medicine and the Indian system of Ayurveda both use it extensively. Dr. Christoph Streicher calls jasmine, “hormone balancing”, and recommends that it be massaged into the abdomen to ease the pains of childbirth.
Jasmine is also thought of as a natural antidepressant. Aromatherapists believe that it's especially effective for people suffering symptoms of apathy and fatigue. They believe that jasmine works, in part, by reducing fears and opening up emotional pathways.
