In aromatherapy, jasmine essential oil is believed have a tranquilizing effect. Now, scientific research has confirmed that the smell of jasmine does indeed act as a mild sedative.
A 2005 study conducted by Kyoto University found that the smell of jasmine reduced study participants’ heart rates and produced “calm and vigorous mood states.” After further experimentation, the researchers attributed this effect to one of the aromatic components of jasmine:®-(-)-linalool.
So, the next time you’re stressed out or you’ve had a bad day, try sipping a cup of jasmine tea to relieve the tension!
