Let me introduce you the Jasmine Essential Oil. Of all the flowers, the sweet perfume of jasmine is one of the most intense, exquisite, and seductive of all. Its essential oil is one of the most appreciated and attractive aromatic ingredients around. Jasmine is considered to be a yang (masculine) plant in China. It comes from a flowering bush, frequently a climbing bush (if trained to wires or branches), that generally lives in tropical and temperate climates, with lots of humidity. There are around 20 types of different kinds of jasmine. Its breathtaking bouquets of white and light brown flowers blooms in summer, and can be used to create bouquets, large balls of jasmine flower that are quite common in the city of Malaga and Costa del Sol, in Spain.

Essential oils carry several benefits; they help with various conditions by stimulating the hypothalamus through the olfactory sense, whereby the odoriferous molecules unleash very beneficial and healthy stimulants for the body.
