DECODING THE ESSENCE OF JASMINE ESSENTIAL OIL
The tiny, white flowers that aromatize entire houses, gardens, even streets are of Jasmine. Yes, the same jasmine you commonly see printed on the labels of hair oils and shampoos. It is no secret that a lot of good comes from these flowers, yet not enough of its goodness is available in the market. Most of the jasmine products are either hair oils or hair shampoos. Not enough is talked of Jasmine in the form of an Essential Oil — because behold! IT WORKS LIKE A DREAM!
Jasmine Essential Oil might not be a very popular product in the market, but it is definitely a beneficial one. From having an unbelievably beautiful scent to being a healer of skin and hair troubles — Jasmine Essential Oil can literally do it all. Let’s find out how does it help us + how to use it.
FOR SKIN —
- People with dry skin know how challenging it is to make your skin retain moisture, and not dry out completely, especially during the winters. Creams and lotions do provide relief, but only till they are applied to the skin. To ensure your skin remains plump and nourished, you need a better solution i.e. JASMINE ESSENTIAL OIL. When applied with a carrier oil, it acts as an emollient, which helps your skin lock in its natural moisture, thus providing you with a longer-lasting relief, rather than a short-term solution.
- This oil is antimicrobial, which means it fights against acne/pimple/rash-causing germs. When used as an overnight treatment for acne, Jasmine Essential Oil kills acne-leading bacteria, by also supplying moisture and nourishment to your skin.
FOR HAIR —
- You must have used Jasmine Hair Oil at some point in your life, so you already know just how amazing Jasmine is for your hair. It makes your hair smell great, while also ensuring no damage affects it. Similarly, Jasmine Essential Oil also helps you combat hair problems such as hair fall, hair loss, breakage, and dullness. It hydrates the scalp, which further ensures healthy hair growth and minimal damage.
- Its antifungal properties make it great for scalp infected with dandruff or other fungal infections. When applied regularly, it effectively reduces the appearance as well as recurrence of dandruff.
FOR BODY & MIND —
- Just like a lot of other essential oils, Jasmine Essential Oil also acts as a great anxiety/stress reliever. Its pleasant aroma soothes nerves, elevates mood, and fights back worry and tension. If used properly for aromatherapy, it can even treat sleep troubles such as insomnia.
- This oil’s great scent also makes it a potential aphrodisiac. Since we already know its positive effects on mental health, it’s no surprise that it works to enhance romantic/sexual feelings as well.
How To Use JASMINE ESSENTIAL OIL? -
- For skin and hair application, ALWAYS mix it with carrier oils or creams/lotions. Considering essential oils are concentrated essences, they should NEVER be used directly on the body, as they might cause an allergic reaction. [TIP: Don’t use more than 3–4 drops per usage]
- For aromatherapy, add 4–5 drops of this oil to a diffuser.
- For instant relaxation, you can rub 1–2 drops directly on your forehead or wrists.
