Its heady uplifting scent makes it useful in the treatment of stress related illnesses. It also has a smoothing effect on skin and is a valuable component in skin preparation. It also seems to have a regulating effect on the menstrual cycle and has been successfully used for throat problems, coughs and catarrh. However as there are many less expensive oils that will perform these functions jasmine main use is as a fragrance ingredient in perfumes. Although non toxic and non-irritant it has on occasion cause an allergic reaction.
