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 just wanted to say "Thank you!" for your quick and reliable shipping. I
feel like I live on the edge of the world, and yet I always get my herbs
within three days of ordering them :) I also wanted to let you know how
wonderful the jasmine green tea is! Now I know why it was out of stock the first time I tried to order it...thanks again! ~Melissa
