Why did the ancients call jasmine “a flower that nourishes the body”?
In the classic herbal text 《本草纲目》, jasmine is recorded as:
Pungent, slightly sweet, warm in nature; enters the spleen, stomach, and liver meridians.
Traditionally, jasmine flowers are harvested when they first bloom in midsummer and sun-dried to preserve their natural essential oils and aroma compounds.
So it wasn’t valued only for fragrance — but for its gentle regulating effects on the body and mood.
