ROSES OR rose flowers

NICE MAROON AND WHITE ROSE

Have you ever wondered that a rose flower can actually shower you with numerous health benefits that you ever thought of? This flower exerts a positive effect on your body, mind and skin and has been used since ancient times. 

The use of roses in Ayurvedic medicine has a vast history and is known as Gulkand. While rose petals in the form of Gulkand are calorie laden ways to reap the goodness, a cup of rose tea is a favorable way to enjoy the goodness without worrying about your hip size.

Rose petals are rich with antiseptic, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidative properties. This makes the drink infused with the petals an ideal home cure for various skin conditions, including acne. You can consume the drink lukewarm. To lock the moisture of the skin and to keep it soft and hydrated, you can wash your face by using this drink. The antioxidants in it effectively clear out the blemishes, leaving you with a soft, smooth, and radiant skin that looks visibly young.

With fatigue and stress comes insomnia and restlessness that gives rise to irritability and frigidity. Rose petals and its essence can beat these symptoms too. According to a study conducted by the Department of Physiology and Pathology/LTF, University of ParaĆ­ba-Caixa, rose essence when inhaled, has been known to produce a sedative effect.

TIP: Make a hot bath and sprinkle some rose petals in the hot water. The heat releases the fragrance of roses, infusing your bathroom with the scent of the flower and relaxing your mind and body.
