What are the benefits of taking a rose bath

We often see on TV dramas a beautiful woman lying in a bathtub sprinkled with rose petals, drinking red wine and listening to music. These are all plots in TV dramas, but we also take baths in our daily lives, but it is just a simple bath without putting rose petals in it. It looks very romantic, beautiful and enjoyable. We can also take baths frequently, so what are the effects of taking a bath with roses? Let’s take a look together!

Calming the mind, soothing the liver and relieving depression

Rose is a natural beauty flower and also a kind of Chinese medicine. Its characteristics are summarized in "Bencao Zhengyi": sweet, slightly bitter, warm, non-toxic, it has "the strongest aroma, clear but not turbid, harmonious but not strong, it softens the liver and invigorates the spleen, promotes qi and blood circulation, relieves stagnation, and has none of the disadvantages of pungent, warm, and dryness." Because roses have a special subtle fragrance, they can be made into sachets and placed in cars and homes. Often smelling the fragrance of roses can relieve tension and depression, make you feel refreshed, and can also relieve headaches.

Compared with fresh roses, dried roses have a longer-lasting fragrance and are less likely to deteriorate, making them more suitable for making sachets. "It is important to dry the petals before they rot. The fresher the rose, the better the fragrance will be preserved when it is dried."

Scented body, refined skin, warm stomach

"Eating roses regularly can not only give people a fresh body fragrance, but also promote blood circulation and make the skin rosy and delicate." According to Feng Chonglian, in addition to its beauty benefits, roses can also be cooked into porridge for consumption. In terms of the meridians of the drug, rose enters the liver meridian and the spleen and stomach meridians. It enters the Liver Meridian: It can relieve liver qi and depression, relieve depression, breast hyperplasia, headache, poor sleep, and menstrual disorders caused by liver qi stagnation; it enters the Spleen and Stomach Meridian: It helps relieve stomach pain, eliminate bloating and warm the stomach.

When making rose porridge, you should first cook the porridge until it is 90% cooked or fully cooked, then add an appropriate amount of dried roses. Generally, cook it for about 10 minutes, and it can be eaten when the rose aroma comes out. For a bowl of porridge, you can put about 15 grams of dried rose.

Color enhancing, nourishing, moisturizing, fragrance

Because roses are cold-resistant and heat-resistant, and their buds are fragrant, tender and moist, they have been favored by court nobles since ancient times. The secret to Yang Guifei's skin's subtle fragrance and soft radiance was that she often soaked in fresh rose buds in the Huaqing Pool. Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty also used roses to make rouge and rose soap.

"The natural fragrance of roses, after being absorbed by the skin, is more refreshing than chemical perfumes and has no side effects." Feng Chonglian said that taking a bath with dried roses will generally show results after about a month of persistence.

Now we know the benefits of taking a bath with rose petals. In fact, taking a bath regularly can maintain our skin. It turns out that roses have so many benefits, but we usually waste the flowers. Now it’s a pity. With so many benefits for our bodies, we can take a bath with rose petals regularly in the future, and we will smell good after taking a bath, and we don’t need to spray perfume anymore.
