Recently my husband gave me a dozen roses for
a special occasion.
They were absolutely beautiful... and this dozen had some of the biggest rose flowers I've ever seen!
It's not every day I get roses, of course, so I really treasure them when I receive them.
But there is a way I can enjoy and benefit from roses whenever I want... and that's through a bottle of rose essential
oil.
Rose oil is one of the most treasured of essential oils.
A big reason for this is that it takes 22 pounds of rose petals to make just 5 ml of essential oil!
People also value rose essential oil for its one-of-a-kind aroma.
Not only does its unique smell bring about
feelings of romance, but the pleasure it brings to the senses is exhilarating and inspiring.
There are also some real health benefits from rose oil.
Rose essential oil can support the circulatory system... it can help boost your mood as it brings harmony and balance... and it's been used for thousands of years to support healthy skin.
This wonderful oil can be applied in a number of ways.
For example, you can:
-- apply it directly to your skin so it appears more youthful looking
-- add it to your favorite facial cream as an added moisturizer
-- add it to a massage oil, for an
extremely relaxing massage experience
-- combine with shampoo or conditioner to add an exquisite floral scent
-- diffuse in a room of your house for romance or a spa like setting
In addition to these uses, there's another one that's my favorite...
And that's to add a few drops of
rose essential oil to a small glass spritzer bottle and mist yourself.
This is a great way to improve your sense of well-being – and just feel pretty.
The other thing I like about this use is that it only takes a small amount of oil, which helps extend the use of this valuable essential oil.
