For as far as we can recall, roses have been a symbol of love, affection, and also a typical prop for fairy tales over the years. However, unknown to many, the rose has more to offer us than just a beautiful flower with an irresistible smell.
Rose essential oil has been used to cure health conditions and as a natural beauty remedy for thousands of years. Its incredible health benefits include, but are not limited to, treating acne, improving anxiety and depression, naturally increasing libido, etc.
Even more fascinating is its role in elevating the mood by easing grief, nervous tension, and stress. As such, the rose essential oil qualifies as a natural antidepressant in more ways than one.
The rose essential oil is typically extracted from the damask rose plant, aka Rosa Damascena. It takes about 10,000 petals to make one pound of oil, hence making it an expensive essential oil.
The steam-distilled oil from the rose petals is often sold as Bulgarian rose oil or Bulgarian rose otto in the market.
As of today, Bulgaria and Turkey are the top producers of rose essential oil. Rose essential oil separates itself from other essential oil with its extremely sweet and slightly spicy floral scent. The smell of rose oil is even more enhanced than the rose petals it comes from.
The rose flower is known for its incredibly fragrant smell. It is already used as a key ingredient in many commercially available perfumes and cosmetic products. It has a uniquely sweet and slightly spicy scent, thus giving a head-turning fragrance to its users. We would highly recommend using only 2-3 drops of rose essential oil on your body as a natural perfume, which is better than many chemically synthesized perfumes available in the market today.
The pleasant sights and smell of the beautiful rose offered more than superficial pleasures to our ancestors. Years ago, when antidepressants weren’t a thing, but anxiety and depression were still kicking, the rose became a powerful natural mood stabilizer that relieved the effects of stress and alleviated humans from the state of dampened slumber.
This was further proved in a study conducted by the Journal Complementary Therapies in Clinic therapies on rose aromatherapy. Their subject group consisted of 28 postpartum women, who were separated into two groups. One group received 15-minute aromatherapy sessions using rose Otto with lavender oil twice a week for four weeks, and the other was the control group. The results were remarkable.
The group that received aromatherapy experienced significant improvements on the Edinburgh postnatal depression scale (EPDS) and Generalized Depression Scale (GDS). In layman’s term, women exposed to rose oil aromatherapy experienced a significant drop in their postnatal depression scores than the control group.
Rose oil is an active ingredient in many skin care products, and for a good reason. Rose oils anti-microbial properties make it an effective natural remedy for overcoming acne and other skin related issues.
A 2010 study uncovered that rose oil contained one of the strongest bactericidal activities compared to ten other essential oils. The study found that rose oil, along with thyme, cinnamon, and lavender oil was able to completely destroy propionibacterium acnes after only five minutes of a 0.25 percent dilution.
There are multiple reasons as to why rose oil can prevent aging and promote great skin health. It has potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that flush out free radicals from the skin, thus helping the skin retain its youthful glow. Free radicals are major culprits when it comes to damaging skin tissue, which later results in other issues like wrinkles, rashes, lines, etc. Rose oil keeps free radicals from harming the skin by effectively eliminating them.
We have already stressed Rose oil’s role as a potent mood stabilizer and an effective anti-stress agent. As such, rose oil can act as a great remedy for men suffering from sexual dysfunction often associated with stress and performance issues. Rose oil can also help in balancing the sex hormones, which can ultimately boost the sex drive.
Primary dysmenorrhea can be defined as cramping pain in the lower abdomen occurring just before or during menstruation. A study was conducted in 2016 to study the effects of rose oil on women with primary dysmenorrhea.
The subject group containing 100 women were divided into two groups. One received a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, and the other received anti-inflammatory in addition to aromatherapy that contained 2 percent rose oil.
After 30 minutes, the group that received aromatherapy reported less pain than the group that didn’t. The research concluded that aromatherapy with rose oil as an adjuvant to conventional treatment methods might help relieve pain in individuals with primary dysmenorrhea.
Rose oil can be found in the local market or online. As we mentioned, it is very expensive due to the fact that it takes over 10,000 petals to make one pound of oil. For those seeking an affordable option, you can opt for oil that is labeled “rose absolute” This is an affordable alternative that is a mix of rose absolute and a carrier oil like jojoba oil. However, it doesn’t hold the potency or therapeutic effects of pure rose oil.
We would recommend making a onetime purchase of rose oil, as it can come in handy and can last a very long time. A small rose oil bottle will last you a very long time, enough to experience all of its benefits.
Aromatically: The oil can be diffused in your home using a diffuser, or you can inhale the oil directly. You can also make a natural room freshener by putting a few drops of oil along with water into a spritz bottle.
Topically: Rose oil has many skin benefits and can be used topically to stop aging and other skin issues like acne, rashes, etc. It is recommended to dilute rose essential oil with other oils like jojoba or coconut oil in a 1:1 ratio before applying it. Perform a small patch test on the skin to learn whether you have an unfavorable reaction to the solution. Once confirmed of no unsavory side effects, then you can use a few drops of rose oil in your lotion, cream, body wash, etc.

Not feeling well and looking for help with your condition, diagnosis, or symptoms that won’t go away no matter what you have tried? Our holistic biological health coaches can help you! Our coaches teach you how your body works, what the underlying cause of your condition or symptoms are, and how to fix and address them using long-term solutions that are data-driven and that work!
Our holistic biological health coaches have a deep understanding of advanced functional testing and genetics testing, along with much experience in complex cases.
Our biological coaching team works with you to empower and teach you how to understand and interpret your lab results, what your results mean, how they are connected to your health conditions or symptoms, and most importantly, what to do with the information, how to put protocols together based on your lab results, and when to reorder your various labs to track progress.
You will become your own healing master learning how to navigate the healing process, how to modify your protocols, when and how to detoxify your organs and cells from the toxins discovered on your lab results. You will learn the importance of tracking your assessment forms and symptom sheets and how to troubleshoot your healing process.
In addition, you have the opportunity to learn how to understand YOUR genetic blueprint – Our coaches are trained in the field of epigenetics and understand implicitly that YOU are in control of your own gene expression and how your genes either work for or against you. If you choose to add genetic testing into your program, your genetic blueprint information can be used not only to help drive your plan of action for healing, but also it can be used to understand your body’s unique nutrition, lifestyle, sleeping, eating, and physical activity needs are so that you can optimize once you are healed.
Get help from our functional nutrition coaches who understand that there is no ONE diet that is right for everyone. Our nutrition coaches work hand in hand with our biological coaches so if you need any lab work done or specific protocols that would require supplement protocols, you have a team working on your behalf and your nutrition coach would make recommendations for which other team coaches would be able to help you.
Your coaches will teach and empower you to learn how to determine and navigate your diet modifications which are decided based on your extensive intake forms, history, and your lab data that your coaches may want to order for you. Based on all of this information, they will teach you what foods to eat and not eat according to various conditions and why.
Your functional nutrition coach will help you learn what substitutes you can use when there are certain foods you may need to stop eating for a period of time, how to put your meals together based on your dietary needs per your lab data, how and when to incorporate gut repair protocols, and what lifestyle modifications you want to address based on your labs and your health conditions.
Nutritional coaching can be a great tool by itself or combined with coaching from our biological coaches. You can schedule with either our biological or nutrition coaches and they can help you get started and make recommendations as needed.
Many people who have successfully mentored with our nutrition coaches have had past issues such as:
Mindset, past and present traumas, and limiting belief systems are some of the biggest barriers to healing, so much in fact that gene expression and biological ‘engines’ of the human body can change for the worse because of it.
In the many years, we have been working in the field of holistic medicine, helping people who have tried everything else with no success or little success, we have discovered how great of an impact our thoughts, beliefs, and past and present trauma, and chronic stress can be to the human body, mind, and spirit.
The rate of recovery and healing for those who place emphasis on creating new neurological pathways to imprint new and healthy mindsets and belief systems in how they perceive themselves and the world around them is greatly improved when the psychological aspect of mindset and integration of mind, body, the spirit is addressed through repatterning of the mind and body neurology.
By removing barriers discovered from traumas, mindset, and conscious/unconscious patterns that are not congruent for healing, health, and vitality, you set yourself up for the best outcomes in your healing journey. Healing only occurs when the physical, emotional, and mental barriers to healing are removed.
Therefore we incorporate mind, body, spirit integration work into our programs and in doing so, we see exponential increases in positive outcomes with our clients. We have put together the most comprehensive ‘whole person’ approach in the world, and this is why our results are so successful.
Our Emotional Processing, Stress Release, & Neurological Repatterning coaches work with you to create new neurological connections, anchor new neurology, and habits, and show you how to become aware of any conscious or unconscious belief systems that may be holding you back from healing and total health.
You are welcome to try one or two appointments to see what you think. We typically recommend a minimum of 6 sessions to make an accurate assessment of how this type of modality is working for you.
Here are some of the modalities our Emotional Processing, Stress Release, & Neurological Repatterning coaches use for brain and body repatterning:
Breathwork is more than just a simple exercise of intentional breathing. Specialized breathwork techniques are used to facilitate major transformation and healing by encompassing a wide range of therapeutic practices that are extremely powerful in providing immediate relief for pulling people out of fight or flight (the amygdala hijack we teach about in Part 2 of our Mastering Trauma Masterclass).
This vagus nerve activation through breath work activates the rest/digest (parasympathetic nervous system), stimulates healing, reduces blood pressure, reduces the cortisol stress response, regulates hormone and blood glucose activity, and heart rate variability (the biological stress response). It rewires the body for self-regulation of the nervous system in a manner that optimizes the body and creates resilience in times of stress.
Yoga breath therapy allows you to disconnect from the mind chatter, mind racing, and negative self-talk and reconnect with your body your energy. From this elevated state of awareness, you are able to facilitate healing, growth, and expansion. And if you are looking for some expansion of your body/mind/spirit awareness, then this type of breathwork can be nourishing and can facilitate the next layer of peace, love, gratitude, connection, clarity, and insights.
In the many years, we have been working in the field of holistic medicine, helping people who have tried everything else with no success or little success, we have discovered how great of a damaging impact our thoughts, beliefs, and past and present trauma, and chronic stress (the fight or flight response) can be to the human body, mind, and spirit.
By becoming aware of how to regulate our own nervous system, and resolve traumas, mindset, and conscious/unconscious patterns that are not congruent for healing, health, and vitality, you set yourself up for the best outcomes in your healing journey. Healing only occurs when the physical, emotional, and mental barriers to healing are removed.
