JASMINE

JASMINE is one of my favorite scents; and therefore, one of my favorite flowers. So, today, I thought I'd look into what types of healing properties JASMINE holds.

According to LGNWH:

Synonyms/Related Species: Arabian Jasmine, Carolina Jasmine, Chameli, Common Indian Jasmine, White Jasmine, Yasmin, Yellow Jasmine, and Zambak Jasmine (just to name a few in the long list).
Family/Class: Oleaceae (olive).
Habitat: Algeria, Asia, Britain, the Canary Islands, Catalonia, Europe, India, the Mediterranean, Persia, Turkey, and other subtropical and tropical regions.
Flavor: Bitter.
Parts Used: Flowers.

Medicinal Uses:

• Soothes coughs
• Helps with eye problems (very non-specific)
• Helps with liver problems
• Eases stomach pain, especially while coping with diarrhea
• Prevents some cancers
• APHRODISIAC
• Reduces stress 
• Lowers blood pressure
• Lowers cholesterol
• Regulates the aging process
• Sedates
• Prevents tooth decay
• Inhibits growth of some bad stomach bacteria, such as salmonella 

Warnings:
Be cautious while consuming JASMINE if you are pregnant or breast-feeding, as everyone is unique in the effects the use of this herb may cause. Beyond that, I haven't heard anything JASMINE could do that would harm you. Of course, be wise and take it in small amounts, at first, to make sure you're not allergic or anything.

Recipes:
Jasmine Rice
Jasmine Tea (It's a Yahoo answer, but it's pretty descriptive and useful.)
