I hope everyone had an enjoyable Mother’s Day across the land! I know I did and my beautiful boys showered me with gifts, one being my favorite, a bouquet of roses! Man, do Roses have such a distinct smell. Like velvet and musk.

Well, today we’re entering the world of Rose Essential Oil.

Fun fact #1: It takes 22 lbs of rose petals to make one 5ml bottle of Rose essential oil. This makes Rose EO one of the most expensive oils in existence. That 5 ml bottle in 100% therapeutic grade, retails at over $200. Use sparingly…

Fun fact #2: Rose EO also has the second to the highest frequency of all EOs, at 320 mhz. Idaho Blue Spruce has recently been found to have the highest at 580 mhz.

What the heck are frequencies and what do they have to do with essential oils? I promise a more in depth post later regarding this subject, because it’s way interesting and enlightening! But here’s a basic primer pulled from Essential Oils Desk Reference:

Frequency is defined as a measurable rate of electrical energy that is constant between any two points. When there is frequency, there is electromagnetic potential. We are being influenced by the magnetic action (or attraction) of the frequencies that surround our lives each day, and frequencies influence our state of well being. Essential oils are measured in Megahertz frequencies. Essential oils have the highest frequencies of any measured natural substance.

I love how Dr. David Stewart describes it:

“Aromatic oils transfer their [benefits] to the various aspects of our being according to the music in their molecules — composed by God, himself.” -Dr. David Stewart, The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple: God’s Love Manifest in Molecules

So basically, everything has an electrical current or vibration to it and essential oils have the highest and most varying levels. It ranges from 52 mhz (Basil) to 580 mhz (Idaho Blue Spruce). The human body sits right around 60-68 mhz and the human brain functions around 72-90 mhz. When the body gets below that 60 mhz level, that’s when sickness, disease, and cancer set it. Essential oils that range from levels 52 mhz to around 90 mhz affect our structural and physical selfs. EOs ranging from around 90mhz and above, affect us emotionally.

So, for the purposes of talking about Rose today, we know that Rose EO is at a frequency of 320. So, it’s mainly an emotional help for us. Rose is known to be a strong anti-depressant. Diffusing this EO on and off throughout the day, maybe blended with a citrus oil will help to elevate your mood.

Next, Rose is a powerful anti-inflammatory. Taken internally, it helps to reduce the symptoms of goat, arthritis, and fever. I’d recommend taking 3 to 4 drops per gel cap each day. Adding 2 to 3 drops of Copaiba would be an excellent way to boost the affects of Rose, too.

And lastly, my favorite way to use Rose, for your skin! Now, Rose EO is an astringent. For those of you that don’t know what an astringent does, other than the middle step in a beauty regimen, astringent causes the contraction of the skin tissue, drawing it in, tightening the skin cells. Thus reducing the appearance of wrinkles! Rose is also highly moisturizing, so it’s a skin double whammy. Add a drop or two to your moisturizer or wrinkle cream to help speed up the anti-aging effects.
