Jasmine essential oil, or technically Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum officinale)
is a pricey and more rare oil to find. It has a sweet aroma (almost
sickly sweet to some noses), very floral and stronger than the flowering
plant itself.
It's most commonly created by an "absolute extraction" of the flowers, a method of using a grain alcohol or hexane to extract the oils. This method is commonly used when the process of steam distillation would damage the delicate oils. After processing, the hexane is removed or the grain alcohol is allowed to evaporate, and you're left with only the oil itself.
This actually makes the term "essential oil" a misnomer when speaking of jasmine. The technical term would be "jasmine absolute", but for purposes of this article (and because I want to), I'm using the two terms inter-changeably.
Well known for its sweet, light fragrance and aromatherapy uses, jasmine oil is recognized to sooth the mind and to relieve stress and reduce muscle tension. However, it has been found that this natural oil helps to achieve healthy hair and skin. Keep reading to find out the benefits of jasmine oil.
Jasmine oil is such a relaxing oil, that puts you in a chill, happy
