Essential oil from the Jasmine flowers is either extracted by the labour-intensive method of enfleurage or through chemical extraction. It is expensive due to the large number of flowers needed to produce a small amount of oil. The flowers have to be gathered at night because the odour of jasmine is more powerful after dark. The flowers are laid out on cotton cloths soaked in olive oil for several days and then extracted leaving the true jasmine essence.
Jasmine plants are bitter to taste, astringent and slightly cooling. Jasmin contains salicylic acid, linalool, and other alkaloids. These substances gives the jasmine many uses as a herbal remedy: a relaxant for nerves, an astringent, a sedative, an aphrodisiac, and as an analgesic.
