Jasmine (Jasminum officinale) absolute oil is very uplifting, producing feelings of confidence, energy, euphoria, and optimism. Whether worn as a perfume, or inhale a drop with palms cupped over nose, Jasmine is a perfect addition to the home spa!
Jasmine has a warm, exotic, floral fragrance that relaxes, soothes, uplifts, and enhances self-confidence. Jasmine is beneficial for the skin. It has been used throughout history for romance and attraction and for balancing the feminine energy of the body. Jasmine can assist in counteracting hopelessness, nervous exhaustion, anxiety, depression, indifference, and listlessness.
One pound of jasmine oil requires about 1,000 pounds of jasmine or 3.6 million fresh unpacked blossoms. The blossoms must be collected before sunrise, or much of the fragrance will have evaporated. The quality of the blossoms may also be compromised if they are crushed. A single pound of pure jasmine absolute can cost between $1,200 to $4,500. In contrast, synthetic jasmine oil can be obtained for $3.50 per pound but does not possess the same therapeutic qualities as the real thing.
University researchers in Japan found that diffusing certain aromas in an office environment dramatically improved mental accuracy and concentration. Diffused lemon resulted in 54 percent fewer errors, jasmine 33 percent fewer errors, and lavender 20 percent fewer errors. When aromas were diffused during test taking, scores increased by as much as 50 percent.
