Red Rose Petals (Rosa Centifolia)

The heart opener — emotional healing, skin nourishment, and gentle feminine support from the world's most beloved flower.

Red rose petals (Rosa centifolia) are far more than a symbol of love — they are a genuine medicinal herb with a long history of use in Persian, Ayurvedic, and European traditions for emotional and physical healing. Rich in flavonoids, tannins, and aromatic compounds including geraniol and citronellol, rose petals calm emotional turbulence, soothe grief and heartache, cool inflammation, and nourish the skin. In Persian medicine, rose is considered one of the greatest tonics for the heart — both physical and emotional.
