The fragrant flowers of jasmine, a member of the Oleaceae family, possess a spicy-sweet taste and a warm, non-toxic nature. Entering the lung, spleen, and liver meridians, jasmine is traditionally used to regulate Qi, relieve depression, warm the middle, ease pain, dispel foul odors, and combat bacterial inflammation. Rich in compounds such as linalool and jasmonate, its enchanting aroma helps alleviate anxiety and depression in aromatherapy, while its topical use is believed to boost hydration, enhance skin radiance, and improve elasticity. Jasmine absolute—obtained by steam distillation—can be used as a facial oil or hair treatment to impart moisture and a soothing fragrance. Historically, jasmine has also been enjoyed as a tea, with traditional texts noting its ability to harmonize internal functions and clear heat.
