Jasmine is a popular garden plant, beloved not only because of its fragrant flowers but also because the plant has a long bloom time spanning from mid-summer into late fall. The plant has been grown as an ornamental and for its highly fragrant flowers for centuries in China, Japan and throughout Southeast Asia and Indonesia. Jasmine is also the national flower of Pakistan. An oil produced from the flowers called jasmine absolute is so prized for its scent that it’s referred to as the King of Oils. Jasmine aroma can be inhaled to improve mood and help reduce stress. (NOTE: It is normal for dried jasmine flowers to retain none of the fragrance they have as live blossoms. These buds have a very faint aroma.) Jasmine flower is used for tea to provide a sweet and floral profile that blends well with mild herbs and citrus peels. It is sometimes combined with green tea or black teas. In fact, “flowering teas” are hand woven from bundled tea leaves with a closed jasmine flower bud at the center, which appears to bloom as the bundle unfolds in response to steeping in hot water. Dry jasmine flower petals are also popular in making potpourri to provide color and scent. Jasmine flowers are also used to make infusions to produce floral water (hydrosols) for soap, shampoo, lotions and other products for hair and skin. Jasmine has been used for liver issues and abdominal pain due to severe diarrhea. It also can be used on the skin for skin irritations and to help speed up wound healing.

Botany, Cultivation & Harvesting:  Jasminum officinale is native to the Caucasus, northern Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Himalayas and western China. Jasminum officinale is a deciduous climbing plant of the Oleaceae family that grows to 32 feet by 32 feet. It is hardy to zone 7. Jasminum officinale flowers from June to September. Their leaves are mostly ternate or pinnate; the flowers, usually white or yellow, with a tubular, five- or eight-cleft calyx, a cylindrical corolla-tube, with a spreading limb, two stamens enclosed in the corolla-tube and a two-celled ovary. Jasmine grows in forests, valleys, ravines, thickets, woods, along rivers, and meadows in full sun to part sun. It grows best in a good well-drained loam soil. Sow seed as soon as it is ripe in a cold frame. When they are large enough to handle, transplant seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in the greenhouse for at least their first winter. Plant them out into their permanent locations in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts. Jasmine can also be propagated by cuttings or layering. The flowers are picked soon after opening each morning and used fresh for oil extraction or are dried. Store dried jasmine flowers in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.     Sources: https://spiritartsandherbs.com/sources **IMPORTANT INFORMATON: Products are sold as curio items for entertainment purposes only and based upon historical and magical uses.  We do not imply or guarantee that any items provide specific abilities, powers, outcomes, remedies, or treatments.
