Aroma: Light, rich, and floral
Jasmine has a long history of being a key ingredient in perfumes, including Cleopatra and Louis XVI using this amazing essential oil. Although mainly known as a perfume ingredient, it has also been used for headaches and skin problems.
An absolute is extracted from Jasmine flowers, as they are considered too delicate to process through steam distillation. The advantage of the absolute is that the complete aroma of this wonderful flower is preserved in the resultant oil. There is no true Jasmine essential oil, as the flowers cannot be processed this way.
It is an oil that brings a lightness and happy feeling to those who use it. This is a potent oil — it should be diluted before using; a little will go a long way. An anti—depressant, it can help with anxiety problems. A light and invigorating essential oil.
Note: Although remedial, people with major health ailments like cancer, or epilepsy should avoid use. Non—toxic, non—irritant, possible sensitization in some individuals. Not to be used while pregnant.
