Personal Experience, Research, Possible Actions
Jasmine holds a special place in skin care and it often used for dry, sensitive skin. It can be added to creams, oils, shampoos, mists and facial masks. It can be used in a bath to ease the tension of the day.
During labor Jasmine will relieve pain and strengthen contractions. It is also commonly used for post-natal recovery but it’s important to know that its aroma may inhibit breast milk production!
The distillery of this essential oil is in Southern India, which is known for the largest cultivation of Jasmine grandiflorum flowers. They have 50 acres of organic Jasmine grandiflorum flowers under cultivation. They also work with other rural farmers to collect organic jasmine flowers for making their oil. Their Jasmine absolute is exquisite!
