Flowers give us clear communication about what their potential benefits are by their shape, color, smell signature, and taste profile. . Jasmine, for example, has white, five pointed flowers and has a sweet, bright, aromatic scent. White is the color of the crown chakra, and this color helps to connect us to higher power. Essential oils from white flowers are wonderful at inspiring inner peace, bliss, and oneness, especially when used in times of stress or when the central nervous system just needs a bit of a spiritual uplift. Studies on jasmine essential oil massages have shown that participants are invigorated, alert and vigorous following massage. . The five points of the jasmine officinalis flower indicate that it has general tonifying properties. . Essential oils from flowers are also great to use when you are planning to become pregnant, pregnant or nursing because floral energy is the energy of reproduction. This is because flowers help bring pollinators and move pollen into the masculine pieces of the plant. . Jasmine is a very fragile flower, easily broken. Therefore the oil is hypothesized to be of particular benefit when used during times where we lack confidence, have our ego a bit bruised, or need a bit of self-love. .
