The Healing Properties of Rosewater and Rose Oil

by Teresa Scarman

 

The value of rose has been recognized for centuries and today there

are four main centres in Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran and France where

roses are grown for the production of rosewater and rose oil.

 

Teresa Scarman outlines the history and methodology used in their

production today. In Iran, rosewater is used for a wide range of

ailments, and it is often drunk every morning to boost the system.

 

Damascena Bivera.

This is the original rose from Samoa which flowers again in the

autumn. Brief testimonies are presented to illustrate rose's

therapeutic properties, including its healing effect on insect

bites, eczema, dermatitis and eye irritation. It can also be mixed

with water and taken internally to cleanse the system. Rosewater can

be used in a wide range of applications, such as a facial wash and

toner, moisturizer, wrinkle reducer, hand cream and eyewash, as well

as in poultices or compresses, vaporizers, and for inhaling or

gargling. The oil can be added to the bathwater, worn as rose oil

perfume, released in rose oil candles and incorporated into an

aromatherapy massage oil, which has been found particularly

beneficial for women with hormonal problems. The scent of

rose has also been found to have a narcotic, aphrodisiac and cephalic

effect.
