Gardenia

You are probably familiar with the large, white flowers of blooming gardenias, as well as their fragrance, which is often used in perfumes and candles. But gardenias also have a long history in traditional Chinese medicine and aromatherapy. Gardenias have numerous properties, such as being a natural antibacterial, analgesic, antifungal, diuretic, and antispasmodic. The essential oil is used to combat stress and help wounds heal, while drinking gardenia tea aids digestion. When applied topically, gardenia fights free radical damage and helps refresh, revive, and soothe dry skin. It also contains ferulic acid, one of the most powerful natural antioxidants that enhances overall elasticity by boosting collagen and hyaluronic acid content in the skin and preventing further UV damage by strengthening cell walls.
