Description

Rose Otto is distilled utilizing steam from the petals of the flowers of the Bulgarian rose. The chemical make up of rose oil is extremely complex, with over 300 known components. There is a warm, rich scent to this oil. It is gently cheering and can help to create a romantic mood. Calming and balancing, this oil helps to turn massage, facials or baths into a luxurious event. It has antidepressant, astringent, antibacterial, antiseptic, aphrodisiac, diuretic, sedative and tonic properties.

Sharing many properties with Rose Absolute, there are notable differences between the two. The Otto carries with it the benefit of having the highest energy frequency of any plant, coming in at around 320Hz. For individuals doing energy work, this oil can be used on clients or in-between clients to help keep the practitioner grounded and keep you from taking on the energy of your clients.

Rose is thought of as the queen of the oils and carries with it distinct feminine qualities. It has a powerful effect on the uterus, as it helps to cleanse, purify, and regulate and may help with uterine muscle tone. It can be used to regulate the menstrual cycle and help to reduce excess loss. On an emotional level, it is a gentle anti-depressant and may help with postnatal depression or the depression that may follow the break up of a relationship. It is also good for skincare (cell regenerator), most especially for dry, sensitive or aging skins. It is a natural astringent and has antiseptic properties. Very little of this oil is needed to benefit from its qualities.

This oil blends well with most floral oils.
