Overview & Traditional Uses
Revered for millennia across ancient Persia, Ayurveda (Gulab), Traditional Chinese Medicine (Mei Gui Hua), and European monastic gardens, Rose is the timeless queen of botanicals. Cherished for both its intoxicating aroma and physical soothing properties, dried rose petals are rich in bioflavonoids, natural fruit acids, tannins, and uplifting volatile oils (such as geraniol and citronellol) that gently cool heat, lift the spirit, and open the emotional heart.
