The Many Uses of Rose Essential Oil
The rose is not only about beauty and extraordinary smell; it is also about alternative medicine and applications in your day-to-day home remedies for a number of ailments. You have the rose essential oil extracted from the petals of this beautiful plant. You would be amazed to learn that you would need nothing less than one ton of rose petals to make only about 300 grams of rose essential oil, which is why this is very expensive.
This is why many people use (knowingly) another type of Rose for the extract i.e. the Rose geranium, a plant which is also nick-named as the Rose French. This oil is available at a fraction of the cost of the original rose oil – but there is no compromise in the effectiveness in healing the varied health problems.
The Applications of the Rose Essential Oil in Day-To-Day Life
The rose essential oil has the following exceptional properties – it is a great anti-depressant, it is excellent at calming the nerves, and relaxes both mind and body. This oil extract is well known to also help in improving confidence, reducing stress levels and fatigue.
The most popular application is as a perfume. Many people find the scent of a rose totally magnetic. This is one of the best applications and the most well known. Whenever you feel upset, angry, irritated with things that are beyond your control, just put a few drops of this oil on your wrist or garments you would be able to experience almost instant mind relaxation.
In a similar manner, just one drop of the original rose essential oil would be able to steer you away from depression in no time. In fact, if you find that you are prone to symptoms such as these, all you need is to get just one tiny drop and keep it around your nose on which you could sniff at throughout the day with excellent results.
For repairing damaged or rough skin – say on the elbows, ankle sides and knees – take a few drops of rose oil and mix with the same amount of almond oil and then apply wherever you feel it is necessary. In a matter of days you would have regained the beauty of your skin.
You could apply rose essential oil plus a few drops of lemon juice to the face as a lotion, to keep the skin toned and young. You could combine it with Fuller’s earth to make an excellent anti-tan mask for anyone who needs to remove the impact of the sun from their skin.
