Everything’s coming up roses! This beautiful, floral gem has been a wellness fave for centuries. Rose has a natural knack for supporting immunity, promoting healthy skin, reducing inflammation, and easing PMS symptoms. It's like a natural superhero!
Roses, known as the "Queen of the Flowers," have been used for centuries for medicinal and cultural purposes. They can be brewed into tea, used topically to soothe the skin, and are valued for physical and spiritual balancing.
Roses contain polyphenols, powerful antioxidants, as well as vitamins and minerals that support the immune system and have antibacterial properties. They also help soothe stress and anxiety with their sweet scent.
Here are 5 key health benefits of including roses in your daily wellness routine:
Roses Give You A Goddess Glow
Are you ready for the laundry list of reasons why roses will have your skin feeling rejuvenated? Rich in vitamins A and E, rose will hydrate and tighten the skin while reducing fine lines and softening dark circles over time. It also supports the body’s natural collagen production, responsible for healthy skin, nails, and hair. Loaded with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, roses can help ease breakouts and calm skin conditions like eczema and rosacea. Sip and glow on.
Roses Can Help Ease Uncomfortable PMS Symptoms
Tired of cramps and bloating? Rose’s anti-inflammatory properties can help relieve uncomfortable PMS symptoms such as bloating, cramps, headaches, and nausea. Bonus: roses help regulate hormones, so if you’re feeling out of balance, Rosie’s got your back.
Roses Can Boost Your Mood
Studies have shown that roses have mood-boosting and stress-relieving properties. Traditionally, inhaling rose vapor from tea provided relief for a cranky mood. Today, the uplifting qualities of a rose can be felt by sipping on the fragrant bloom. The natural aromatics encourage calm, relieve stress and tension, and promote restful sleep.
Roses Support Your Immune System
Did you know roses are loaded with Vitamin C? Vitamin C supports the production of white blood cells to help our bodies fight off infections, colds, and flus. Also rich in antioxidants, roses can help combat oxidative stress and the effects of free radicals, which can cause diseases and premature aging.
Roses Ease Digestion
Feeling queasy? Consuming rose can relieve stomach upsets, uncomfortable gas, and bloating by easing the digestive system. It also promotes the rebalance of healthy gut flora, where most chronic diseases start.
It’s easy to see how Rose measures up as an eternal healing flower, which is why the team at BLUME added it to their Rose London Fog Latté Blend.
