"All of us love jasmine flowers. They are sweetsmelling and pleasing to the heart. Women of the South are rarely seen without jasmine in their hair. No South Indian celebration is complete without garlands of jasmine. The sweetsmelling jasmine possesses many medicinal qualities. It is bitter and sweet in taste and hot in efficacy. It alleviates Pitta and Vata doshas.
Jasmine is used as
medicine in diseases of head, mouth, teeth, and eyes. Jasmine is said to
possess aphrodisiac properties. Jasmine is used by women especially
while weaning the child from breastmilk. During this time milk collects
in the breasts and causes severe pain. To stop milk from collecting in
the breasts, women usually cover the breasts with jasmine flowers. They
do this for three to four days and the breastmilk stops flowing, as
jasmine possesses the property of stopping milk secretion. Jasmine is
used as a home remedy for reducing pain in the breast.
A dancer, over fifty years of age, was travelling to Europe. On the day she was to leave, in the afternoon, she developed a severe pain in the breast and it looked red and inflamed. She needed something which would quickly bring down the inflammation and pain. As she relied only on Ayurvedic medicines for all her complaints, she sought our help. She said she could not cancel her trip. She had to be given a medicine which would immediately and surely work before she boarded the flight. We sent for some jasmine which was used to cover her breasts. She was also given some medicines to take internally for the next few days. She travelled to Europe in this state and to our great relief she called as soon as she landed to say she was fine.
Jasmine is very useful in conditions where there is tenderness and pain in the breast. In some women the tenderness in their breasts is so severe that if by accident something happens to touch their breasts, they recoil with pain. In such conditions using jasmine as a first aid, either as a paste or tying the flowers externally helps in getting over the pain and tenderness."
