• Jasmine 
  

  Jasmine has a long history of use as a chief remedy for male and female reproductive conditions,  is said to help prevent Post Natal Depression and infertility and is ranked among the ‘aphrodisiac’ herbs. It has a calming and sedative effect on the nervous system and is especially beneficial in conditions caused by psychological stress and imbalance.  The action of Jasmine is warming, opening, and relieving of spasm. It is indicated where ther is cold, listlessness, spasm, depression, catarrh or other discharge. 

   

  Jasmine is, like all absolutes, a fairly powerful oil. There is no danger of toxicity, but if it is over-used it will cease to be of benefit and may result in an increase of catarrh.  When added to a Massage or Bath Oil Blend Jasmine is very useful as an anti-depressant giving optimism and confidence, producing a feeling of euphoria and helps overcome apathy and listlessness.
