Essential Oil of the Week: Jasmine

6/25/2014

0 Comments

 
     When a woman prepares for childbirth she is hoping for an easy and quick event.  I have yet to meet a woman who welcomes a lengthy and painful labor, who would?  The essential oil of Jasmine is an oil that every “soon to pop” female should have in her hospital bag.  Jasmine has long been used as a uterine tonic.  The essential oil helps to tone and heal the uterus while also keeping tumors at bay.  During the delivery process Jasmine will help to expel the fetus gently.  Since Jasmine essential oil is known as a fabulous sedative it will also ease labor pains.  On top of all that, Jasmine increases lactation in new mothers as well.  Another benefit for new mothers is the powerful components in Jasmine that help clear scars and stretch marks.  Had I known then what I know now, Jasmine would have been tagging along for the ride instead of my trusty Lavender.  The Jasmine flower only blooms at night releasing a sweetly romantic aroma into the evening air.  It is associated with deep sleep and soothing emotions all wonderful things that come along when the day is done.  Jasmine encourages the release of serotonin throughout the human body which increases mood and energy.  It can also be said to improve a person's sex life since it is well known as an aphrodisiac.  Anyone dealing with heightened anxiety and/or depression should look no further than this gorgeous floral scent.  It helps to balance hormones within the body and encourages content feelings with its antidepressant qualities.  Lastly, this particular oil makes for a great natural expectorant, so no more late night runs to the drug store when a nagging cold sets in.  Grab your Jasmine essential oil and take a warm soak with 8-10 drops in the tub, breath in that lovely aroma and close your eyes.  The oil works to remove excess phlegm but also to bring about a deep and uninterrupted night's sleep.  Next time you're feeling stressed or down… come by for an early evening foot soak and reflexology session paired with Jasmine essential oil.
