A ROSE'S JOURNEY: FROM ANCIENT MEDICINE TO MODERN WELLNESS

THE PERSIAN ELIXIR

The Damask Rose (Rosa damascena) is believed to have originated in the Middle East, particularly Persia (modern-day Iran). Persians were among the first to distill rose petals into a highly valued essence known as rose water, which was used for both culinary and medicinal purposes.

THE HEART OF AYURVEDA

In Ayurvedic medicine, rose petals are used to balance the body's energies, particularly to cool “hot” conditions and to calm the mind. It was seen as a powerful tonic for the heart—both the physical organ and the emotional center.

THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE'S TREASURE

As the rose's influence spread, it became a central component of traditional medicine and perfumery in the Ottoman Empire. Its petals were steeped in teas to help soothe digestion, and its fragrance was used to promote a sense of calm and well-being.

WHY IT MATTERS TODAY

Today, research confirms many of the traditional uses of the Damask Rose. It is a natural source of antioxidants and has been studied for its anti-inflammatory properties. For centuries, it has been used to help with menstrual cramps and mood swings, thanks to its ability to soothe and balance the nervous system.
