*5 ORANGE JASMINE SEEDS* The Orange Jasmine - Murraya paniculata is a large multi-trunked shrub or small tree. It is also known as the China Box and belongs to the Rutaceae or Rue family. The fragrant "orange blossom" flowers stand out against the evergreen dark green leaves which are made of three to nine leaflets. Orange Jasmine has several medicinal qualities. The Indians have traditionally used its bark for making cosmetics and the leaves as a stimulant and decongestant. The shrub's astringent qualities have also used to treat bleeding wounds and dysentery, joint pain and body ache. In many parts of Asia, the twigs are chewed and used as a natural toothbrush. The plant is found from India and China through South East Asia to Malaysia and Northern Australia. It has an alluring fragrance due to which it is cultivated throughout the tropics and sub-tropics. It is called China-box because it can take shearing and is often used in hedges.
