Rose Essential Oil
Rose oil (or Rosa Damascena, its Latin name), is exquisite, feminine, powerful and seductive, an oil truly fit for a queen. And ladies, you will feel like a queen when you let your senses become spellbind by its spirit.
Benefits of Rose Essential Oil
From aromatherapy to topical applications, rose essential oil has many uses that can benefit your physical and mental health.
Helps Depression and Anxiety
One of the top benefits of rose essential oil is definitely its mood-boosting abilities. As our ancestors battled situations where their mental status was dampened, or otherwise impaired, they would have been naturally drawn to the pleasant sights and smells of the flowers that surrounded them. For example, it is hard to take a whiff of a powerful rose and not smile.
Fights Acne
There are many qualities of rose essential oil that make it a great natural remedy for the skin. The antimicrobial and aromatherapy benefits alone are great reasons to put a few drops in your DIY lotions and creams.
In 2010, researchers published a study uncovering that rose essential oil exhibited one of the strongest bactericidal activities compared to 10 other oils. Along with thyme, lavender and cinnamon essentials oils, rose oil was able to completely destroy Propionibacterium acnes (the bacteria responsible for acne) after only five minutes of a 0.25 percent dilution!
Anti-Aging
It’s no surprise that rose essential oil typically makes the list of top anti-aging essential oils. Why can rose essential oil boost skin health and possibly slow down the aging process? There are several reasons.
First, it has potent anti-inflammatory effects. In addition, it contains antioxidants that fight off free radicals which encourage skin damage and skin aging. Free radicals can cause damage to skin tissue, which results in wrinkles, lines and dehydration.
Boosts Libido
Because it acts as an anti-anxiety agent, rose essential oil can greatly help men with sexual dysfunction related to performance anxiety and stress. It may also help to balance sex hormones, which can contribute to increased sex drive.
A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial published in 2015 looks at the effects of rose essential oil on 60 male patients with major depressive disorder experiencing sexual dysfunction as a result of taking conventional antidepressants known as serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
The results are quite impressive! The administration of R. damascena oil improved sexual dysfunction in the male patients. In addition, the symptoms of depression reduced as sexual dysfunction got better.
Incredible Natural Perfume
The fragrance industry commonly used rose essential oil to create perfumes and to scent a variety of cosmetic products. With its sweet floral yet slightly spicy scent, rose essential oil can be used all by itself as a natural perfume. It only takes a drop or two and you can avoid all the fragrances on the market today that are loaded with dangerous synthetic scents.
How to use Rose Essential Oil
There are plenty of ways to use this luxurious oil. You may like to try using Rose in your skincare routine by adding a few drops to your neutral moisturiser, shower gel, bath or carrier oil, for a delicately uplifting scent. Unwind before bedtime by diluting Rose essential oil with coconut oil, massaging into you skin, hair and nails, for a gentle touch of opulence. Wake up feeling refreshed and smelling lovely.
For Face and Body
If you can’t sink into an indulgent Balinese flower bath, rose oil is the next best thing. Simply apply a few drops into a hot bath for spa-like benefits. You can also add one or two drops into a sink filled with warm water for an evening beauty ritual, after you’ve cleansed, toned and moisturised. Blending one drop into your favourite lotion is also a great way to add this precious oil to your beauty routine.
For Hair
Why not add a couple of drops of Rose essential oil into your shampoo for a subtle irresistible aroma? Or blend with a spoonful of coconut oil, massaging into hair roots for 15 minutes, revealing smooth and soft hair. You can also add Rose essential oil to a spray bottle filled with warm water, after you have conditioned hair. Spritz gently over wet hair, leaving in for ten minutes, before washing and drying hair naturally. It’ll leave hair looking and smelling gorgeous.
