NIGHT BLOOMING JASMINE Anointing Oil | Sustainably Cultivated

Jasminum officinale, var. sambac

Jasmine, with her mysterious sultry aroma, is the foremost of all perfumes. Masters of the art of perfume have said, “No Jasmine, no perfume.” Our Night Blooming Jasmine Anointing Oil is blended with Jojoba, so that it can be applied directly to the skin.

Jasmine’s particular gifts lie in the subtle realm. In India the Night Blooming Jasmine is called Mugra, Night Queen, who brings joy to the heart and soul with her exotic sweetness. Her creamy white flowers are made into garlands for festivities, offered to deities in temples, and hung over the beds of lovers. This precious treasure is believed to bring confidence, optimism and feelings of euphoria.

Night Blooming Jasmine + Jojoba Formulation

Ayurveda describes Jasmine oil as sweet, cooling, and tridoshic, meaning it benefits all body types. When used therapeutically, such as during marma point therapy, the oil is said to be nourishing to the tissues and strengthening to the nervous system; inhaled, Jasmine is beneficial to the lungs; massaged on, Jasmine is soothing to overworked and uncomfortable bodies. It is a gentle toner of upset or reddened skin and can be used to support fresh, glowing complexions. Recent scientific studies have found that Jasmine’s aroma produces a stimulating effect on the mind and can significantly increase mental alertness and joy.
