Benefits: Rose has a floral aroma and peaceful feel to it. When added to our Herbal Flower Blends it brings the perfect balance of pure floral sweetness along with great holistic benefits. Rose has been used as a modifier for the nervous system for years. It acts as an aphrodisiac and mood enhancer, reduces anxiety, improves digestion, is high in antioxidants and contains antimicrobial properties. Rose also helps reduce inflammation and soothe menstrual cramps and is great in helping rebalance the health of one’s gut flora.

Studies have shown that roses have mood-boosting and stress relieving properties. Traditionally, relief for a cranky mood was to inhale rose vapour from steeped tea. Today, the uplifting qualities of rose can be felt by sipping on the fragrant bloom, using as a refreshing facial mist or toner for the skin, body scrubs, and more. The natural aromatics encourage calm, relieve stress and tension, and promote a restful sleep.

The flower is rich in vitamins A and E. Rose supports the body’s natural collagen production, so it is great for the hair, skin and nails. It is also loaded with vitamin C which is great with supporting the immune system, the production of white blood cell health, and fighting against infections, colds and flus.
