There is more to roses than just a traditional Valentine’s Day bouquet. Since ancient times, roses have been revered as symbols of the feminine, and of love: St. Dominic, for instance, believed that the Virgin Mary visited him and gave him the first rosary, made with rose-scented beads. But these lovely flowers also possess true healing properties. Find out how to use roses to alleviate anxiety, headache, asthma, depression, stress, and more:
To better bear anger, depression, grief, jealousy, and resentment, use 3-4 drops in a diffuser.
To alleviate anxiety and nervous tension, use 2-3 drops in a carrier oil and massage on body, or add 8-10 drops to bath water.
To ease headache and migraine, use 3-4 drops in a hot or cold compress (whichever works best for you). Can also use 3-4 drops in a diffuser.
