Rose has long been revered for its beauty, fragrance, and healing properties. Beyond its romantic symbolism, rose petals are a gentle yet powerful herb that nurtures the heart—both physically and emotionally. As a nervine, rose supports the nervous system, helping to ease stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm while fostering a sense of openness and joy. Its astringent properties make it beneficial for toning tissues, whether used internally for digestive and respiratory support or externally for skincare. Rose is also known to support circulation and heart health, with a mild anti-inflammatory effect that can soothe irritation in the body. Whether enjoyed as a tea, infused honey, tincture, or floral water, rose is a deeply comforting and versatile herb. |
