Jasmine Introduction

      Jasmine is considered to be the finest of all essential oils. Jasmine is an evergreen shrub or vine that grows up to 35 feet. It has delicate bright green leaves and star shaped flowers that bloom at night. In Egypt, the flowers are gathered after dark because of their increased aroma. The flowers are then soaked in oil for days, then extracted leaving behind the deep, full aroma of Jasmine. Jasmine is used widely in perfumes and fragrances. It is said to have wonderful positive effects on menstrual pains and cramps.

      The essential oil is very costly, of which the French oil is the most expensive, because of the enormous quantity of flowers needed to produce a relatively small amount of oil.
