| Abstract | ||
| Jasminum, a medicinal plant from the Oleaceae family, has been utilized for centuries. Jasminum species including Jasminum grandiflorum L., Jasminum sambac L. Aiton, Jasminum azoricum L., and Jasminum humile L. have been used traditionally for their antimicrobial, anti-cancerous, anti-ulcerative, antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, fragrance, and flavoring purposes. Besides, Jasminum species were employed to treat dermatitis, fever, conjunctivitis, breast cancer, discomfort in the abdomen, asthma, abscess, uterine hemorrhage, headache, tooth pain, sleeplessness, digestive disorders, diarrhea, and menorrhagia. Moreover, Jasmine oil has been commonly used in aromatherapy. Jasmine essential oil components work together to provide antibacterial, anti-acne, spasmolytic, and aromatherapy benefits. This study reviewed the medicinal characteristics of Jasminum species, including their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cytotoxic, antimicrobial, antifungal, anthelmintic, antiviral, wound healing, anti-aging, antidepressant, antihypertensive, anti-lipid peroxidative, anticonvulsant, and antifertility effects. The current review article attempts to emphasize the ethnobotanical and conventional applications. This review highlights the pharmacological activity of Jasminum species, primarily on investigations from the last ten years. Furthermore, the pharmacological properties of Jasminum species were defined. | ||
