Rose

What is Rose?

Rose essential oil, often derived from Rosa damascena, is prized for its exquisite, floral aroma. Known as the “queen of oils,” Rose is celebrated for its mood-enhancing, aphrodisiac, and skin-regenerating properties. In aromatherapy, it’s widely used for emotional healing and stress relief.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Some people may have an intolerance to Rose oil due to its concentrated compounds, which can cause skin sensitivity or allergic reactions. Its potent scent may also trigger headaches or nausea in scent-sensitive individuals.

What can I do about it?

To manage intolerance to Rose oil, use it in highly diluted form, especially for skin applications. Consider blending it with softer oils, like geranium or chamomile, to reduce its intensity while still enjoying its calming effects. Diffusing Rose oil in small amounts can also help make the fragrance more tolerable.
