Rose (Rosa centifolia) Petals

Grown in India

For thousands of years, many cultures around the world have revered the mind, body and spiritual healing benefits of rose. In some of the most ancient texts found in medicine, such as in Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine, the rose had a prominent presence in a variety of formulations. Particularly those around relieving the heart, depression, anxiety, psycho-spiritual related imbalances, and many more.

Roses are cooling in nature. This means that rose flowers tend to help people who have too much "heat" or inflammation in the body.

Rose is both Bitter and Sweet. The so-called "five elements" theory in Chinese Medicine states that the taste of TCM ingredients is a key determinant of their action in the body. Bitter ingredients like rose flowers tend to have a cleansing action on the body by clearing heat, drying dampness and promoting elimination via kidneys/urination or bowel movements. On the other hand, sweet ingredients tend to slow down acute reactions and detoxify the body. They also have a tonic effect because they replenish Qi and Blood.

The tastes of ingredients within TCM and other traditions determine what organs and meridians they target. As such roses are thought to target the Spleen and the Liver primarily, as well as the Heart. In TCM, the Spleen assists with digestion, blood coagulation and fluid metabolism in the body. The Liver on the other hand is often referred to as the body's "general" because it’s in-charge of regulating the movements of Qi and body fluids. It also takes a leading role in balancing our emotions.
