Health Benefits of Rose Essential Oil

Antidepressant: Rose Oil boosts self esteem, confidence, and mental strength while efficiently fighting depression. They can be very helpful to drive away depression arising for any reason, and it also relieves anxiety. As an antidepressant, patients of acute depression or those undergoing rehabilitation can be given routine and regular doses of this essential oil to bring a positive boost into their lives. This oil is widely used in aromatherapy and invokes positive thoughts, spiritual relaxation and feelings of joy, happiness and hope.

Antiphlogistic: Rose essential oil may calm down a patient of high fever by sedating the inflammation. It can also be beneficial in other cases of inflammation caused by microbial infection, ingestion of poisonous materials, indigestion, and dehydration. This can result in a reduction in associated conditions like rheumatism, arthritis, gout, and fever.

Antiseptic: This is the most fragrant and luxurious way to treat wounds; imagine treating wounds with Oils of Rose instead of those ordinary lotions. Topically applying rose oil to wounds helps to protect them from becoming septic and developing infections.

Antispasmodic: Rose essential oil efficiently relieves spasms in the respiratory system and intestines, as well as muscular spasms in various limbs. It also helps to cure convulsions, muscle pulls, cramps and the spasmodic cholera which is caused due to spasms.

Antiviral: Getting or getting yourself vaccinated against all of them is a tough task, since some of them continue to mutate and trick our our immune system, like an old friend who gives you a cold or influenza. The solution to this is to use an antiviral agent that behaves as a shield against any type of virus. Rose essential oil is one such shied, and studies have shown that it protects against many different types of viral infections.

Aphrodisiac: There is almost no need to explain this aspect of rose essential oil.  From Cupid himself to modern day’s high tech lovers, everyone knows how indispensable roses are in the romantic department. The basic element that does that is the essential oil of the flower. The very scent of it can arouse you, and it boosts the LIBIDO while invoking romantic feelings which are essential for a successful sex life. This can reduce symptoms of sexual dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, frigidity, and general disinterest in sexual activity with partners.

Astringent: The astringent of Rose Oil has many benefits. It strengthens gums and hair roots, while toning and lifting skin, and contracting muscles, intestines and blood vessels. This gives protection against the untimely loss of teeth and hair, wrinkles, the loss of firmness of intestines and muscles of the abdominal area and limbs associated with aging. Above all, rose essential oil helps to stop the flow of blood from wounds and cuts by contracting the blood vessels. This astringent property can also cure certain types of diarrhea.

Bactericidal:  It can be used in the treatment of typhoid, diarrhea, cholera, food poisoning and other diseases which are caused by bacteria. Furthermore, it can cure internal bacterial infections like those in the colon, stomach, intestines and urinary tract, as well as external infections on the skin, ears, eyes and wounds.

Cicatrisant: This property of Rose Essential Oil can be of great interest for those who care a lot about their looks. It makes the scars and after marks of boils, acne and pox on the skin fade quickly. This includes the fading of stretch marks, surgery scars, and fat cracks associated with pregnancy and delivery. Much of this is due to the antioxidant  of rose essential oil, which spurs on the healing processes of the skin

Geranium Health Benefits

Stress Reliever: The impact of geranium on the nervous system is well known and the plant has been used in this way for generations. If you brew the leaves of the geranium plant, you can produce a tasty tea that has soothing properties, derived from its organic compounds and chemicals that positively impact the endocrine system and help to balance hormones that cause stress and anxiety. A quick cup of tea when you’re stressed can quickly relieve unpleasant moods and a cluttered mind.

Anti-Inflammatory Properties: One of the other common uses of geranium is to relieve inflammation throughout the body. If you suffer from sore joints, aching muscles, or even internal inflammation of the gut or cardiovascular system, an easily prepared geranium tea can quickly relieve this discomfort and reduce the strain on your body’s sensitive areas.

Pain Reliever: Although quite similar to its anti-inflammatory properties, the ability of geranium has made it a popular traditional remedy for headaches and other injuries. If you suffer from chronic pain or migraines, research has shown that geranium tea can release endorphins and relieve pain quite rapidly. This effect is relatively mild, and shouldn’t be relied on for permanent pain relief.

Kidney Health: Although the exact chemical pathway is still being researched, some of the volatile components of geranium can improve the kidneys health and stimulate urination, which helps to detoxify the body and eliminate excess salts, fats, and water from the body. This can help to reduce the strain on your kidneys and prevent toxins from making their way to other parts of the body.

Immune System Aid: Geranium has natural antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-fungal properties, which make it a wonderful cold and flu reliever if you feel yourself getting sick. Preparing a cup of geranium tea or even chewing on the leaves (remember, only rose-scented geranium) can help to flush your body with compounds that will boost the strength of your immune system and promote a quick recovery from a variety of illnesses. This can help prevent internal and external pathogens from negatively impacting the body.

Digestion: If you’re suffering from cramping, bloating, or a generally upset stomach, drinking a cup of geranium tea can be one of the easiest and most painless remedies. The beneficial organic compounds packed into geranium can quickly soothe inflammation, eliminate bacteria  that may be causing the discomfort and get your gastrointestinal system back to normal!
