Jasmine Essential Oil (Jasminum Officinale)
(Jasminum officinale) is actually an absolute extraction (essence) rather than an essential oil,
which means that it is obtained by extracting oil from the flowers with a
solvent. It has a warm, exotic, floral fragrance that relaxes, soothes, uplifts,
and enhances self-confidence. Jasmine is beneficial for the skin. It has been
used throughout history for romance and attraction and for balancing the
feminine energy of the body.*
Jasmine is actually an essence, not an oil. The flowers must be picked at
night to maximize the fragrance. Most essential oils work best when blended with
each other. The right combination will enhance the effects and power of the
essential oils. For some basic "oil recipes", check out our Recipe page or visit
our Essential Oil Blends store for some outstanding "Ready-Blends", created by
Young Living.

in India as the "Queen of the Night", most likely because the flowers have to be

reproductive problems, and to stimulate uterine contraction as childbirth

Relief from Seizures "My dad finds relief from seizures with Jasmine Essential Oil.
I have found that whenever he has one of his episodes, I let him inhale Jasmine and sometimes within seconds (sometimes it takes a bit longer if it is grand mal seizure), he relaxes."
Allergies and Horseness
"I suffer from perfume, smoke and dust allergies, so going out in crowds is a
challenge. I was suffering a sore, dry throat after dust storms came through the
area and tried the recommended Thieves. I thought about raising my frequency.
Laryngitis refers to jasmine oil which has a high frequency, in the essential
oils desk reference. I had jasmine and found it was good for hoarseness. I
rubbed a drop of jasmine on my throat and had relief in about 19 seconds. It was
just wonderful as I was at my wits end to soothe my dry throat. "
Did you know....
One pound of Jasmine oil (essence) requires about 1000 pounds of Jasmine or 3.6
million fresh picked blossoms. The blossoms must be picked before sunrise or
much of the fragrance will have evaporated. The quality of the blossoms can also
be compromised if they are squashed. A single one pound can of pure Jasmine Oil
can cost from $1,200 to $4,500. In contrast, synthetic Jasmine oil can be
obtained for $3.50 per pound, but obviously does not have the same therapeutic
qualities as pure Jasmine oil. The above mentioned properties are based on pure
Jasmine oil, not the synthetic version.
