Herbs: Red Rose petals

 

Common Name: Red rose
Latin Name: Rosa centifolia

Red Rose petals are not just decorative or a symbol of love.

They are used for tonics and gargles because of their astringent properties to cure catarrhs, sore throats, mouth sores, and stomach disorders. The oil from the petals is used to relieve headaches, insomnia and nervous tension. The petals contain quercitrin, volatile oils, and coloring agents. Rose petal tea is mild and quite lovely.

Chef Tip: Toss rose petals with fresh fruit and sprinkle with freshly squeezed lime juice. Enjoy!

I received my order today. Thank you for the fast shipping. Also, thank you so much for the tea samples. I have been considering ordering them, but didn't want a large amount if I didn't care for the taste. Now's my chance to try them! :) God bless, Katie
