Common Name: Star Jasmine
Botanical Name: Trachelospermum jasminoides
Trachelospermum jasminoides, commonly called Star Jasmine, is an evergreen vine known for its highly fragrant, star-shaped white flowers. It is native to East Asia but has become popular in temperate climates worldwide.
Medicinally, Star Jasmine is not widely used, but its aromatic properties make it a candidate for aromatherapy, where it can help reduce stress and improve mood.
In beauty, the extract of Star Jasmine is sometimes used in perfumes and body lotions for its intoxicating fragrance.
An interesting fact about Star Jasmine is that despite its name, it is not a true jasmine (Jasminum species), but its similar fragrance has made it a beloved alternative in gardens and landscaping.
