Jasmine is a delicate, evergreen climbing plant native to China and India, with small, white, star-shaped flowers that are picked at night when their fragrance is most potent. Jasmine essential oil has a sweet, exotic, and very floral scent. It is expensive because its distillation process is more elaborate than for most oils, and it is used for deep relaxation, alleviating depression, and boosting confidence.

This oil is said to calm the nerves and produce a sense of confidence and optimism, while restoring energy. It shortens labor by strengthening contractions and easing pain. It is believed to alleviate impotence, frigidity, and premature ejaculation due to its calming and soothing properties. It helps with coughs and laryngitis and is also useful in a massage oil to relieve muscle pain, sprains, and stiff limbs. Jasmine essential oil tones dry, oily, or sensitive skin, increases elasticity, and is said to reduce stretch marks and scars.

Jasmine has been considered a sacred flower in India for hundreds of years and is still used to make garlands for Hindu gods and goddesses today. Indian women commonly wear jasmine in their hair, and it is also one of the main flowers in wedding garlands. According to one myth, the sun god Surya rejected the love of a princess and was so heartbroken that he committed suicide. From his ashes scattered on the ground, a jasmine plant grew. Because the sun god had caused it so much pain, the jasmine flower only bloomed and released its fragrance at night.
