Jasmine comes from the fragrant flowers of *Jasminum officinale*. You will find it in teas, extracts, and aromatherapy products. People often drink a warm cup of jasmine tea in the evening for its gentle calming effect.
A liquid extract or glycerite works as another convenient option. Some enjoy jasmine simply for its soft flavor and scent in blends. Its relaxing and sleep-promoting qualities rest on long traditional use, not modern clinical trials.
Typical food and tea amounts rarely cause problems. Anyone with an allergy to related plants, such as the olive family, should be careful. Well-documented drug interactions are not known.
