Rose Oil is Wonderful

When I first started using a castor/olive oil blend for facial cleansing, it occurred to me that I would like to add some essential oil, mostly for the scent rather than any other benefit. The first scent that came to mind was rose. Little did I know that it is, of course, the priciest and one of the hardest to find in its pure form. Why do I have such a knack for picking out the most expensive of everything before I even know anything about it? It's a burden! But I digress; once I got that scent in my head I HAD to have it. I found a company in India that ships essential oils in small and bulk quantities to north America regularly. The company is "Meena Perfumery" and they popped up right away when I did a rose oil google search. I ordered two vials so I could maximize my value for the shipping cost (which was extremely reasonable I must say.) Color me impressed when the oil arrived in just one week! Zoooooom.

In the interim I had done some research on the uses and benefits of rose oil aside from its decadent scent. Turns out it's great for anxiety and depression as aromatherapy, and perfect as an emollient, astringent and skin tightening additive for cleansers and lotions! Well that couldn't be any more perfect for me. The first thing I did when I got it home was to add a couple drops to my oil cleanser. That tiny amount scented it wonderfully. I look forward to enjoying its benefits with regular use. The next thing I did was to add a bit to my ceramic oil burner and let the scent insinuate itself into the master bedroom and bathroom. What a wonderful substance! I can feel the calming properties of it as I breathe it in. One caution however: it is very concentrated so a little goes a long way. It's best to burn it in a well-ventilated area. Overall, I recommend essential rose oil to anyone looking to enhance their well-being.
