Probably the most well known flower in existence, the Rose is a symbol for many things such as love, innocence, passion, and luxury. Rose blends both heavy and light giving a strong grounding feeling while remaining delicate and airy. Other attributes of Rose are calmness, stability and balance.

The rose flower itself dates back 35 million years. Many, such as the Egyptians and Greeks, had for centuries crushed rose petals to release it’s aroma. Today we have advanced technology and equipment to extract the rose essential oil, gaining greater health benefits from it’s use.

Since the petals of the rose flower are not high in oil concentration, it takes many roses to create a small amount of oil. For example it takes approximately 60,000 roses to make one ounce of rose essential oil. Therefore, rose will be a more expensive oil to purchase as a single note rather than in a blend of other oils.

Rose essential oil may be used in your skincare routine. It has natural antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, making it beneficial for people who get frequent blemishes. You can add a drop to the end of a q-tip and spot treat blemishes. Rose works well with sensitive skin, but to be cautious you may dilute the rose oil with a drop of carrier oil and then apply. For more coverage application, simply add 2-3 drops rose oil to a natural face lotion or carrier oil. Rose essential oil is wonderful for use on aging skin, keeping it toned, supple and bright.

Rose can be very beneficial to one’s emotional well being. Using rose in aromatherapy has the ability to help combat depression and anxiety. Defusing rose aromatically in the home is a helpful tool, especially if depression and anxiety is a daily struggle for you. Rose can help boost confidence and increases your mental strength to move forward on a day to day basis. It is known for opening up the heart chakra (4th chakra) allowing love to flow through the mind body and spirit, helping to heal emotional wounds and boosting self-love.
