Gardenia Absolute Essential Oil - 1 oz/30 ml Gardenia essential oil is derived by extracting the compounds, active ingredients and volatile acids from the petals of the gardenia flower. Bearing the scientific name Gardenia jasminoides, the gardenia is an evergreen bush that produces white flowers and is native to China. It has been naturalized in other Asian nations, and more than 40 other species of gardenia exist in other temperate and subtropical regions around the world. This essential oil was traditionally extracted using enfleurage, which utilizes animal fats to pull out the essence of the flower, but this technique has been replaced with steam distillation to increase output and production. Most of the impressive health benefits of gardenia essential oil come from its high concentrations [1] of benzyl and phenyl acetates, as well as linalool and terpineol, among various other antioxidants. One of the most popular uses of gardenia essential oil is in aromatherapy, primarily because of its effect on mood, anxiety [5] and potential symptoms of depression. Adding this to a bath or diffusing it throughout your room can lower stress hormone levels and reduce oxidative stress in the body.
