Jasmine Essential Oil

Soothing, sensual aphrodisiac

Famous as an aphrodisiac essential oil, jasmine's sensual, soothing scent brings out feelings of emotional warmth and love. Its deeply calming nature may help with problems such as impotence and frigidity.

Aromatherapy jasmine lotions, bath oils and other remedies are good for helping with depression - jasmine's warming, confidence-building qualities are excellent for supporting mental and emotional health.

Jasmine can ease post-partum depression as it helps calm nerves, lift spirits and restore energy. It also promotes the flow of breast milk and is often used in lotions and body oils to help restore elasticity and reduce stretch marks and scarring.

Jasmine straight out of the bottle smells overpoweringly sweet - you'll want to dilute it to a tiny percentage of a recipe. It's also an extremely expensive oil, so it's lucky that a litle goes a very long way!

Cautions

Buy Jasmine Essential Oil

I always recommend Mountain Rose first because I like and trust them. Their quality is excellent, their prices are good, and many of their essential oils are organic (and all of them are therapeutic grade.)

Or you could shop for jasmine oil at Amazon. They have a number of different brands available at a variety of prices. (Just remember, you get what you pay for.) Happy hunting!

Beware! Jasmine is generally a very expensive oil to produce - if the price is low, you're likely getting an inferior or diluted product, so be sure to do your research. This is not an oil you want to skimp on!

That said, there's lots of really good suppliers out there, but I keep balking at the price. I can't in good conscience send you to a supplier whose quality is similar to Mountain Rose but who charges considerably (or even a little) more. I wouldn't do it myself, and I won't recommend it to you.

Which brings me to another point. A small commmission is sent to Easy-Aromatherapy-Recipes.com each time you buy from these suppliers by clicking on one of my links to their website.
