What are the benefits of taking a rose bath?

The obvious effects are regulating qi and relieving depression, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, regulating menstruation and relieving pain. In addition, the medicinal properties of rose are very mild. It can warm the heart, liver and blood vessels, relieve the depressed qi in the body, and have a calming, soothing and anti-depressant effect. Women often feel irritable before or during menstruation, and drinking some rose water can help regulate it. Let’s take a brief look at the benefits of taking a rose bath.

1. Modern research has found that roses have beauty-enhancing effects, are effective in regulating menstruation, can treat endocrine disorders, regulate qi and blood, eliminate fatigue, and help wound healing. Rose tea, also known as noble tea, is a kind of flower tea especially suitable for women to drink. It has excellent conditioning effects on women's body and face.

2. First of all, the petals must be fresh. The best aroma for bathing is when the petals are taken 1 to 3 hours after blooming. If it is more than 3 hours, most of the floral scent will have dissipated and the fragrance effect will be far less effective. For people who use it to take a bath, the refreshing effect will be greatly reduced. Try to use fresh petals instead of petals that are more than 2 days old. The pharmacological effects of the former are much more significant than those of the latter.

3. Secondly, the petals must be cleaned thoroughly, and the quality of the water used for cleaning is particularly important. Fresh petals cannot be washed directly with tap water, because the chlorine rich in the water will not only damage the petals, but also dilute the fragrance. Therefore, it is recommended to leave the tap water for about half a day to allow the chlorine to evaporate before cleaning for better results.

4. Furthermore, when cleaning the petals, pay attention to cleaning away the pollen remaining on the petals. For some people who are allergic to pollen, the pollen remaining on the petals can easily cause skin allergies. Once the pollen is inhaled into the respiratory tract, it may also cause upper respiratory tract allergies and other symptoms.

The above briefly introduces the benefits of taking a rose bath. Because roses are cold-resistant and heat-resistant, and their buds are fragrant, tender and moist, they have been favored by court nobles as early as the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is said that the secret to Yang Guifei's skin being so soft and radiant was that she bathed in the Huaqing Pool, which was filled with fresh rose buds all year round.
