Beyond beauty and fragrance, however, jasmine flowers hold a lot of history behind them, with many uses that make them a favorite among many.
A Symbol of Love and Purity
Jasmine is an emblem of love, beauty, and purity associated with the cultures worldwide. Many florists use the flowers in wedding ceremonies, religious rituals, festivals, etc. as symbols for unity and devotion. The garlands in Southeast Asia are considered an easy offering in the temples and are worn on the body to invoke blessings. The symbolic beauty of the flower is thus used in poetry, art, and tradition.
Health and Wellness Benefits
Jasmine is not only a treat to the senses but also a wonder of health benefits. The essential oil extracted from jasmine flowers is soothing and also lifts away all stress anxiety and even symptoms of depression. Due to its soothing effect, people make an infusion of jasmine flowers with tea leaves to drink a special tea known as jasmine tea.
