Jasmine Essential oil – known as the King of Flower oils is made by effleurage (chemical extraction) of the blossoms which need to be
gathered at night when the concentration of oil is more powerful. The small size of flowers, harvesting only after dark, extracting the oil using olive oil, then with chemicals to create the Jasmine Absolute makes the pure essential oil very costly. We have both the Absolute Jasmine Essential Oil and a 5% Jojoba oil is also available. All essential oils affect us on the psychological and physiological levels good for apathy, stress, listlessness and for the early stages of flu. While it is to be avoided during pregnancy, it is helpful during childbirth.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
