Absolute jasmine essential oil - 10ml

Jasminum officinale, commonly known as jasmine, is a delicate climbing plant with evergreen leaves. Native to China and India, it produces small white star-shaped flowers that are harvested at night, when its fragrance is most powerful. The essential oil extracted from jasmine is known for its deeply relaxing properties, reputed to calm nerves, boost confidence and restore energy levels. Its complex distillation process makes it more expensive compared to other oils. Traditionally, it has been used to shorten labor time during childbirth, strengthening contractions and relieving pain. Furthermore, it is believed to provide relief from impotence, frigidity and premature ejaculation due to its calming and soothing effects. It also helps relieve coughs and laryngitis. In Indian culture, jasmine has significant importance as it is believed to have originated from the ashes of a princess who ended her life after being rejected by the Sun God, Surya. The flower only blooms at night, releasing its captivating fragrance. Origin: India.
