Sacred Scents: Jasmine
Jasmine is a very flowery fragrance associated with femininity. It is said to purify the emotions. It provides strength in matters of spiritual growth, love, money and aspirations. It is soothing, relaxing and reduces stress. In India, Jasmine is called "queen of the night" because it's scent is strongest in the evening. A study done by Toho University in Japan showed that Jasmine stimulates brain waves and improves alertness. Jasmine sedates the nervous system, helping tense nerves, headaches, depression, and insomnia. It can take an edge off P.M.S. and menopause. Jasmine incense or oil can be helpful in reaching more spiritual levels during prayer, meditation and other spiritual techniques.
According to one dream dictionary, dreaming of Jasmine blossoms means you will achieve your heart's desire. Holding a bouquet of Jasmine means health and peace of mind.
Jasmines vary in growth habit from vines to shrubs and include evergreen, semi-evergreen and deciduous species. Not all jasmines are fragrant, and of those that are, some are much more fragrant than others. The species with the classic, freshly sweet jasmine scent is J. officinale, also called common jasmine and poet's jasmine.
