Oil of the Week: Rose

Oil of the week: Rose

I am so excited to share this with you as Rose is my absolute favorite oil! Not only do I just love the scent, it brings me instant peace and tranquility.

Rose (Rosa damascena var) essential oil comes from the steam distallation of the rose petals originally coming from Bulgaria, Turkey, Russia, and Morocco, but today found worldwide. It is a base note with a highly floral and sweet scent. It takes many, many rose petals to make one bottle of essential oil, contributing to it's higher cost.

Physically, rose is wonderful for skin! I use it as a hydrosol spray twice a day and always after a shower. It is great for taming redness, oils, and imperfections. Rose also supports our respiratory and circulatory systems and aids in conditions such as PMS. Another great use for rose is headaches, especially tension or migraine.

Emotionally, rose comforts sadness, heartache, and sorrow. It can release tension by activating dopamine and aids in nurturing tender emotions.

Energetically, rose produces feelings of harmony, soothes anger, settles impatience, lifts our spirits, and opens the heart. As you can see, this pairs well with our card of the week to embrace the energy the universe is sending. Use a little rose and as Jenny suggested, shift your awareness and make room for you to see those little moments that bring us peace and contentment.

Have a great week and happy oiling ❤️
