Royal jasmine, Spanish or Catalonian jasmine as well as jati.
Jasmine is a woody, perennial climber, which reaches up to 15 meters in height. The stems and leaves are green and the plant bears pinnate leaves and sweet-smelling flowers that are borne in clusters in summer, followed by black berries. It is J. grandiflorum that is mostly used in herbal remedies, while J. officinale is mostly used in aromatherapy.
The flowers and oil are used in perfumes and essential oils, as well as food flavorings.
Jasmine is an astringent, anti bacterial, anti viral, cooling and bitter herb. It stimulates the uterus, calms nerves and is reportedly an aphrodisiac for women.
It is also used as an alternative for cancers, as well as viral and bacterial infections. J. officinale is used in perfumes, as well as flavoring for maraschino cherries.
Although well tolerated, this heavy scented essential oil should be used sparingly, and specially so during pregnancy.
It may also dull the mind when trying to concentrate.
