Hi y'all,

 

Since Chris has a co-op going down on Jasmine sambuc - and it's about to

end in a day or two - lemme tell you a bit about Jasmine. Jasmin sambuc

is great for making perfumes .. used widely in the perfume industry.

The fragrance is highly concentrated, rich and has fruity-floral

notes. It smells better diluted than it does concentrated.

 

Jasmine flowers have a history going back thousands of years in

cosmetics, perfumery, food and medicine. The ancient Egyptians annoited

their bodies with infused oils of jasmine. It was considered an act of

religious devotion because the penetrating odor was thought to ascend to

the gods. Jasmine flowers were made into ungents by the Greeks and

Romans who used them to perfume their bodies after bathing.

 

Medicinal use of jasmine oils for a number of ails also goes back a long

while. Al-Kindi (800-870 AD) used jasmine oils for coating arthritic

limbs. He also recommended the oils to excite frigid women ... ;-p

 

According to Culpepper's Complete Herbal, " It is profitably put into

ointments and salves that are warm, and comfort the outward parts, as

the joints and sinews; for swellings also, and places out of joint. The

oil made thereof, is very warm and comfortable to the joints that are

stiff, and the sinews that are hard, to mollify and supple them. "

 

Jasmine administered by inhalation on humans proved to have a

stimulatory effect. Imberger I. et al, 1993 prog. Abst. 24th Symposium

on EOs.

 

In a report by Klem, W. et al., 1992, Chemical Senses, 17 3. 347-361, it

concluded that following inhalation by 16 female students, there was an

increase in theta waves and the arousal affects were such that they all

became more alert to the point of not wanting to sleep. It didn't say

what they wanted to do ... ;-)

 

Jasmine fragrance was tested for its effects on work efficiency.

Jasmine increased B-Band activity which suggested mental stimulation.

Sugano H. & Sato N. 1991, Chemical Senses 16: 183-184

 

Antibacterial: Antibacterial actions of 13 EOs were studied. Jasmine

was effective at 1:64,000 to 1:128,000. It was somewhat effective

against Shigella dysenteriae and very effective against Mycobacterium

tuberculosis (avian) at 1:32,000/ Okaznki K. & Oshima S., 1953, J.

Pharm Soc. Japan 73, 344-347.

 

Eleven plant essences were tested for bacterial action, Jasmine had a

strong, while others had a medium to strong effect. Klosa J. 1949,

Seifen Ole Fette Wachse 75, 502-503.

 

Jasmin vapors have been found effective against Candida albicans.

Maruzzella et al. 1959, American Perfumer Aromatic. 74, No. 2, 21-22.

 

Twenty-six perfumes were tested as a repellent for ticks (lxodes

Ricinus). Volatiles from Jasmine were more effective that the standard

repellents, diethyltoluamide and Retox. Novak D. Pub. 1973, Proc, Inl.

Congr. Acarol 3rd 1971, 685-686.

 

SUGGESTED USES:

 

Room Fragrance. Jasmine is primarily a fragrance to treat psychosomatic

problems, therefore, as a room fragrance it can be very effective. It

imparts a wonderful exotic fragrance to the environment, particularly

useful for bedrooms inf an aphrodisiac effect is called for. It may

help stimulate the mind out of lethargy and/or reduce anxiety. Its use

at low levels as an atmospheric fragrance may help the mind concentrate

during study of complicated tasks.

 

Bath. A drop or two is all taht is needed to give a wonderfully exotic,

luxurous soak. As the fragrance can linger on the skin for some hours,

this may be a good way of providing the body with a mile perfume before

" special occasions. "

 

Massage. The fragrance appeals to both men and women. Its a wonderful

addition to any massage blend for it's therapeutic relaxing properties.

Used as a relaxant, for it's anti-depressant effects in P.M.T and even

more so in post natal depression .. but do not use in lactating as it

can curtail the flow of milk. It can be helpful in painful, spasmodic

conditions such as menstrual pain. It may help spasmodic coughing and

spasmodic bronchial conditions. It has a reputation as an aphrodisiac

where there is lack of libido in men and women. This oil has

traditional use in massage for relief of muscular rheumatism since

ancient times.

 

Medical. Useful in the maternity unit to replace medications used to

reduce breast engorgement. A great benefit for those having to work

prolonged hours to improve concentration. It can be a powerful anti-

bacterial and tiny amounts can be added to other antimicrobial oils such

as Cajuput of Tea Tree to improve fragrance acceptability. Worth trying

as a poultice for joint pain because of it's ancient reputation for use

in this manner. A small amount can be useful in creams made to reduce

hemorrhoids.

 

Jasmine combines well with: Citrus oils, Cedar, Clary, Geranium,

Neroli, Lavender, Lemongrass, Rose, Sandalwood and Ylang Ylang.

So y'all .. when this co-op is over, I gar-an-tee that you will NOT find

any GC tested high quality Jasmine sambuc for the same price you can get

it now .. count on that because I own this Jasmine and I intend to put

it on my site for more than she is offering it to your folks for ... ;-p
