The Benefits of Rose Oil

Rose Essential Oil (Rosa damascena) is expensive, but depending on your goals, it may be worth the investment in yourself. It takes a lot of roses to make a very small bottle of oil, which is why it will cost three digits for less than an ounce.

I’ve found it to be a very uplifting oil. It helps me to feel lighter and less burdened. I have also used sweet orange oil for that purpose, but rose oil is very different. It works on a deeper level.

Due to the cost I cannot just slather it all over myself. I use it with jojoba oil as the base and I add a drop of neem oil (even though the smell is very unpleasant) because neem protects roses. All of this together creates a beautiful harmony and serves to protect the aura and soothe the spirit.

I also have a few drops in my daily skin cream. This is blended with helichrysum italicum oil for it’s rejuvenation properties. Putting a drop in a diffuser also helps to create harmony.

Looking further into rose oil, I found that it is commonly used to for relaxation, to soothe anxiety, to help with menstrual cramps, and for it’s skincare benefits.
