The benefits of rose petals
In addition to their undisputed beauty and perfume, roses also become the essence of many cosmetic products, such as moisturizing creams, perfumes and soaps. They are also widely used in SPAS and aesthetic clinics in aromatherapy, relaxing baths and skin masks. Bathing with rose petals in a bathtub is an excellent option to treat insomnia, anxiety, stress or hyperactivity.
As for the preparation of teas, each rose color has its respective beneficial effects. The yellow rose serves to calm the nerves, combat stress and relax the muscles, being ideal for muscle pain, headaches and migraines caused by stress, among other ailments related to the nervous system.
The white rose, in turn, is powerful in the treatment of allergies and irritations, especially those that affect the eyes, such as conjunctivitis.
How to prepare rose petal tea?
To prepare tea from rose petals it is important, first, that they are thoroughly washed. After washing them, heat a kettle containing a liter of water and 10 rose petals. Simmer for five minutes, after turning off the heat, smother the kettle and let it rest. When it is at a pleasant temperature to be consumed, sweeten it with honey or sugar and consume it twice a day, preferably in the afternoon or evening.
If you want to make a compress, the recipe follows the same steps as the recipe for preparing the tea, but when the temperature is pleasant, just soak a cotton ball in the liquid and then rest it on the skin in the desired location for 15 minutes. The liquid boiled with the petals can also be used to wash the face or rinse the body after bathing.
Rose petal tea has no side effects or contraindications.
