Jasmine Absolute

Jasmine \n Absolute is one of the most expensive essential oils in the world. A pound \n of jasmine oil can cost as much as $3,000 to $4,000, largely because of \n the complex, painstaking and time-consuming process by which the oil is \n produced. It takes approximately 8 million jasmine blossoms to produce \n each kilogram (2.20 pounds) of oil, and these white star-shaped blooms \n must be gathered in the early hours before sunrise when jasmine\'s \n extraordinarily fragrant essence is at its peak.1-3\n

Jasmine \n oil\'s mildly euphoric scent has an intensely rich, warm, sweet-floral \n aroma with a pronounced sensual, musky note. This exquisite fragrance \n is often described as warmly reassuring and profoundly inspirational, \n having the ability to bolster one\'s confidence and optimism. Many \n of jasmine\'s beneficial effects on psychosomatic ills (physical \n complaints having a more immediate psychological origin) stems from \n its antidepressant and euphoric characteristics. Jasmine is regarded \n as a powerful antidepressant that enhances feelings of elation and euphoria, \n and helps relieve apathy, indifference and depression. In fact, Japanese \n studies have shown that jasmine even increases alertness by stimulating \n beta brain-wave activity. However, jasmine also demonstrates sedative \n properties, which make it useful for relaxing anxiety and calming fear. \n Thus, jasmine is employed as a psychotherapeutic remedy for a wide range \n of emotional and stress-related problems, including anger, anxiety, \n apathy, depression, grief, heartbreak, hypochondria, lack of confidence, \n lethargy, listlessness, nervous exhaustion, nervous tension, PMS, and \n panic, as well as simple fear or complex paranoia.1-8\n

In \n addition, jasmine oil is a reputed aphrodisiac for hypoactive libido \n (underactive sex drive) and problems of impotence or frigidity. In fact, \n the combination of jasmine\'s sensually romantic and sedative qualities \n make it an ideal remedy where there is anxiety surrounding sexuality. \n Jasmine\'s aphrodisiac effect can also be enhanced by combining \n it with rose, ylang ylang or clary sage essential oils.1,3,6,7\n

Like \n rose oil, jasmine oil has an affinity for the female reproductive system. \n Jasmine is a stabilizing uterine tonic and nervine for painful menstruation, \n and especially for the uterine pains accompanying childbirth—jasmine \n oil provides natural analgesic (pain-relieving), antispasmodic (muscle-relaxing), \n and anti-inflammatory properties. Plus, jasmine has been shown to help \n reduce stress for the mother during labor. Following childbirth, jasmine \n is used to relieve postnatal depression (blend with bergamot or clary \n sage for added benefit), exhaustion and hormonal changes. During menopause, \n jasmine is recommended to inspire a woman\'s confidence in her \n femininity and sensuality and to promote feelings of optimism, warmth \n and well-being.1,3,5-7,9\n

Used \n topically, jasmine oil is a superior facial skin oil for both its anti-inflammatory \n and cell-rejuvenating properties. Jasmine is especially suited for dry, \n irritated or sensitive skin. Jasmine is can also be used to soothe muscle \n tension and relieve muscular aches, pains, spasms and sprains.1,3,6-8\n

Furthermore, \n jasmine oil demonstrates antiseptic, antifungal and antiviral activity. \n Jasmine also acts as an expectorant. Although jasmine is recognized \n as a good remedy for bronchial and respiratory ailments (catarrh, chest \n infections, cough, hoarseness, laryngitis, sore throat, etc.), its high \n cost may make its use somewhat prohibitive, especially since there are \n other less expensive oils that are just as, if not, more effective for \n such purposes.1,3,5-7\n

Jasmine \n oil\'s many benefits are typically derived through inhalation or \n topical application via massage or relaxational baths, since the oil \n is generally too thick for use in a diffuser. Plus, jasmine blends well \n with other essential oils and is often included in various oil blends.1,5\n

Jasmine \n oil is non-irritant, non-toxic, and generally non-sensitizing; however, \n an allergic reaction has been known to occur in some sensitive individuals. \n Thus, individuals prone to allergies or having highly sensitive skin \n may need to avoid use. In addition, jasmine oil should not be used during \n early pregnancy. General recommendations suggest using jasmine oil in \n moderation, both in terms of frequency and quantity.3,5,6
