Jasmine

                                               

These days when I look at small bottles, I am reminded of Essential Oils. Businesses are growing around the knowledge of how smell can bring in a sense of well being. These businesses give me the feeling that there is in fact a revolution going on right now, a revolution where people care for each other’s wellness.

I remember my childhood days when the essence of these new age movements were common in our everyday life. For example, every evening a vendor would go walking up to every house to sell garlands of freshly plucked jasmine flowers. That women and girls would choose to adorn their braided hair or buns with these flowers was in fact an invitation for auspiciousness to enter their lives.

It is interesting for me to note that the Jasmine essential oil is now being used to alleviate depression!
