MG NATURALS Rose petals are rejuvenating and prove to be a tonic. They are used to treat internal asthma, high blood pressure, bronchitis, slow circulation, diarrhea, dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), cough, fever and fluid retention, indigestion, insomnia, palpitation, stress and urinary tract infections. Due to their strong and pleasant fragrance, rose petals are used for making essential oils and perfumes. They are ingested as a tea to provide a comforting effect and diminish body temperatures during high fevers. The tea also effectively cleanses toxins and heat from the body. Rose petals alone are not only beautiful and fragrant, but were used by Ancient Greeks and Romans to perfume baths. The Egyptian queen Cleopatra was known for her love of rose petals, as not only were they sprinkled onto the floors of her banquet halls, but she included them in her bathing and beauty rituals as well. Mix ½ cup of rose petals with a handful of mint and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. This bath helps remove excess oil and prevent blemishes. (If you find lemon juice irritating, as some people do, you can substitute it with white vinegar).
