Gardenia jasminoides had been used for centuries in traditional Asian medicine, where it is employed mainly as an antiphlogistic (anti-inflammatory), analgesic, diaphoretic, sedative and haemostatic. Herbalists recommend the small, ovate fruits of this herb in the treatment of depression, anxiety and insomnia, liver disorders, and fever. The fruits are also used against inflamed eyes, tumors, painful and reddish urination.

Treating Digestive Disorders
Gardenia jasminoides extracts also play an important role in alleviating frequent problems occurring along the digestive tract. This plant promotes the flow of bile, contracts the gallbladder (as soon as 20 minutes after the ingestion of the tea), inhibits gastric secretions, and decreases the pace of stomach contractions.

In addition, it has a distinct purgative and anti-hyperbilirubinemic action, due to its chemical composition high in iridoid glucosides. Rumor has it that Gardenia jasminoides is also an efficient cure in treating fever, thirst, abdominal congestion and bright-yellow coloration resulted in patients with jaundice or other liver-failure related illnesses. However, this herb has a beneficial, tonic effect not only on the liver, but on the spleen as well.

Medicinal Uses and Benefits
Apart from the already mentioned curative properties of Gardenia jasminoides, it is important to know that it has some effects on the circulatory system: this plant is slightly hypotensive, thus being recommended in light forms of hypertension. Additionally, it contributes greatly to preventing the risk of atherosclerosis.

Derived products act as a detoxifying agent for the blood and are also used to stop bleedings and enhance healing processes. This qualifies Gardenia jasminoides as a quick remedy in cases of nosebleeds, menstrual deregulations and urine blood. The plant has reportedly been used to increase insulin blood levels for diabetics, but also for its sedative, antibacterial, and antifungal actions.
