Reply:Jasminum officinale





"The common jasmine is a popular climber found on the walls of many gardens. It was one of the old official medicinal herbs. Unlike a number of other species, common jasmine is deciduous, although it may retain some leaves in mild winters. It is vigorous and beautifully scented, with white, star-shaped flowers. The English 19th-century poet, Shelley, wrote about its scent in his poem, 'The Sensitive Plant; And the jessamine faint and the sweet tuberose. The sweetest flower for scent that blows.'


The essential oil distilled from the form J. o. f. affine is still used in the perfume industry. A number of other species are important today. These include J. grandiflorum, royal jasmine or Spanish jasmine, which is an important herb in branches of Indian medicine for treating fevers and various cancers, and J. sambac, Arabian jasmine, which is used in China to make jasmine tea from green tea and jasmine flowers.


Today the plant is used mainly in aromatherapy to treat depression, impotence, frigidity, nervous tension, and respiratory disorders, but it was formerly regarded as an herb that would help in difficult cases of childbirth, assist the milk flow, treat disorders of the uterus, and as an aphrodisiac and antiseptic."
