Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum officinale) Egypt
Jasmine oil derived from India has a sweet aroma. Egyptian Jasmine has an earthier fragrance. It is a key birthing oil and has been found to reduce the likelihood of post birth depression or “baby blues” when the mother can be overwhelmed by the tasks and responsibilities of motherhood.
The jasmine bush is widely cultivated in Spain, Northern Africa, India and Southern France. Jasmine oil is not an essential oil, but an absolute, extracted from the small, white flowers by using
a solvent. The genuine oil has a rich, sweet, floral odour with a delightful herbaceous undertone.
Jasmine is valuable in the treatment of nervous disorders such as apathy, depression and nerve debility as it is both sedative and uplifting.
Use only high quality jasmine; poor qualities can affect sensitive skin due to the chemicals added during production
Research shows the stimulating/activating effect of jasmine oil and provides evidence for its use in aromatherapy for the relief of depression and uplifting mood in humans.
