Rose essential oil has an unmistakable intoxicating aroma, it’s rich, sweet and floral.
But aside from the unmistakable aroma, it has a number of benefits on both the body and the mind. Both cooling and relaxing, it decreases sympathetic nervous system activity; while at the same time strengthening the parasympathetic nervous system. This means that it increases feelings of vitality and creates a sense of relaxed well-being.
Rose can be useful for treating a wide range of stress-related conditions in adults and hyper-activity in children. It has a low toxicity and is a delightful addition to the bath or as a massage blend, where it has excellent results in treating scarring.

And that’s not all!
