I don't go to visit my aunts a lot, but there are several times of the year when I simply love visiting my aunt Isabel's house, because you breathe a peace and a scent that fall in love, all this thanks to the Jasmine Orange tree that is in it, she calls it orange blossom, which is also one of the names with which this beautiful tree is commonly known. I love to see how a carpet of white flowers forms on the ground that surrounds it when they fall to make way for their fruits, just in these days that the rains have begun here, has begun to bloom again.



And is that the Murraya Paniculata (scientific name that receives this plant) has its uses in aromatherapy, and is relaxing and even recommends its use for people with cardiovascular problems, as it reduces by 60% the likelihood of suffering a heart attack, now I understand why my aunt has no wrinkles at almost 70 years. Recently I was a victim of a terrible toothache, and a good friend recommended me to use the leaves of this plant (although he did not know her name) to calm him, after so much fighting with drugs to calm him, I went to her and I really must say that it was something miraculous.



Originating in Southeast Asia, considered the "emperor's tree", this plant is used as an ornamental plant as well as in traditional Chinese medicine and aromatherapy. Tinctures or infusions can be prepared with its leaves, flowers and fruits, which are used to treat various pathologies. After reading everything I have researched, I think I will plant one of these in my garden.
