Benefits of "jasmine flowers" in traditional Thai medicine and refreshing drinks to celebrate Mother's Day.

As August arrives, "jasmine flowers" become a popular flower symbolizing "National Mother's Day 2026" With their pure white color and long-lasting fragrance, jasmine flowers symbolize a mother's love for her child. Beyond health care, the benefits of jasmine flowers extend beyond beauty and scent, as they have long been used as a key herb in Thai traditional medicine formulas.

Opening Thai medicine formulas: "jasmine" with heart-nourishing and fever-relieving properties.

In traditional Thai medicine, jasmine is classified as a bitter-cool aromatic herb with significant benefits and is an important ingredient in several Thai remedies, including:

• Thep Chit aromatic medicine which contains jasmine as a main ingredient (over 50%). It treats subtle wind imbalances causing dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, and improves sleep quality. The proper use to maximize benefits is to take the powder or tablets (1 to 1.4 grams per dose) dissolved in "warm water," enhancing the essential oils' mood-relaxing effects.
  
  
• Red sandalwood decoction a formula containing jasmine to boost cooling effects, effectively relieving fever and heatiness with thirst.

From jasmine's benefits to aromatherapy and cooling beverages.

The fragrance of jasmine flowers is also used in aromatherapy, processed into spa products like massage oils, aroma candles, and cosmetics to help reduce stress and muscle pain.

Additionally, in beverages, using jasmine flowers to prepare drinks is an age-old wisdom with popular methods such as:

• Jasmine tea made by brewing dried jasmine buds with hot water, or combined with green tea leaves. Jasmine tea is rich in antioxidants, helps relieve stress, and supports digestion.
  
  
• Jasmine-infused water prepared by soaking fully bloomed, unbruised jasmine flowers in cooled boiled water overnight, resulting in a fragrant drink to quench thirst, cool down, refresh, and relieve fatigue.

Precautions for using "jasmine flowers" as herbal beverages.

Despite its many benefits, the Department of Thai Traditional Medicine advises the following precautions when consuming jasmine:

1. Avoid use in individuals allergic to flower pollen.
   
   
2. Do not use highly concentrated jasmine scents or consume large amounts of jasmine tea, as strong aromas may cause nausea and dizziness.
   
   
3. Those on blood-thinning or clot-dissolving medications should exercise caution when using Thep Chit aromatic medicine.
   
   
4. When brewing jasmine tea or infusing jasmine water with fresh flowers, ensure the jasmine is 100% organic and free from chemical residues.

Mother's Day Festival 2026 Beyond offering jasmine garlands to express love, understanding the correct use of jasmine in traditional remedies and warm health drinks is another meaningful, safe, and heartfelt way to show care.
