Eases pain

In a 2015 study, postoperative children inhaled either almond oil or rose oil. The patients in the group that inhaled rose oil reported a significant decrease in their pain levels. Researchers think the rose oil may have stimulated the brain to release endorphins, often called the “feel-good” hormone.

Based on the outcome of this study, the researchers suggested that aromatherapy using rose oil could be an effective way to ease pain in patients who’ve had surgery.

Relief from menstrual discomfort

In a study conducted in 2013, patients with menstrual pain received abdominal massages to relieve their discomfort.

One group was massaged with a carrier oil (almond oil) only, while the other group was massaged with almond oil plus rose oil. The rose oil group reported having less cramping pain following the massage than the almond oil group did.

Rose oil has a relaxing effect on many people.

In one study, researchers applied rose oil to the skin of each participant, and then measured its effects on the most common symptoms of anxiety. Blood pressure, heart rates, breathing rates, cortisol levels, and blood oxygen levels all decreased. The subjects also reported feeling much more relaxed after the oil treatment.

Another study involving over 100 women who were giving birth found that rose oil lowered their anxiety levels during delivery.

Eases depressive symptoms

A number of clinical studies have found that rose oil helps to improve the symptoms of depression. In a 2012 study, a small group of postpartum women underwent treatment for depression.

One group received aromatherapy in addition to conventional medical treatments. The women who used aromatherapy improved significantly more than women who used conventional medicine alone.

Studies have also found that rose oil stimulates the release of the chemical dopamine. Researchers believe this chemical plays a pivotal role in helping to relieve the symptoms of depression.

Research experts advise that you opt for aromatherapy massage to treat depression rather than inhalation. It may take as many as eight weekly sessions before you notice a change in the depressive symptoms, so you may need to exercise a little patience.

Rose oil is usually quite expensive and is highly potent. It should be diluted whether you plan to inhale it or use it on your skin.

To make a rose oil bath, add 10 drops of rose essential oil to a carrier oil, then add to a warm tub. Essential oils should always be diluted in a carrier oil before adding to water.

To make a foot bath, add a few drops of diluted rose oil into the foot bath and soak your feet for 10 minutes.

To treat anxiety, stress, or depression, you can either inhale rose oil using a diffuser or dab it lightly on your chest, neck, and wrists. Be sure to blend it with a carrier oil first like coconut, almond, or jojoba oil before it touches the skin. You may also benefit from a rose oil massage, in which the rose essential oil is added to a carrier massage oil.

Before using any alternative or complementary treatment, talk to your doctor about any current medical conditions, possible drug interactions, or side effects.

Safety tips

• Essential oils are powerful and highly concentrated. If you’re going to inhale an essential oil of any kind, place a few drops into a diffuser or sniff the lid of the container instead of putting your nose close to the bottle itself. Inhaling too much may give you a headache.

• If you’re dabbing it directly onto your skin, mix a few drops of rose oil into a carrier oil first to avoid skin irritation.
• Rose oil, like many other essential oils, should not be ingested.
• Some essential oils can be harmful to pregnant and breastfeeding women (and their babies). Consider who may be entering an environment where you are diffusing essential oils.
• If there are young children or pets in your home, it’s a good idea to talk to your veterinarian or pediatrician before introducing an essential oil because some oils are toxic to children and pets.
• The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals recommends that you keep these tips in mind when using essential oils around pets:
• Don’t apply essential oil directly on your pet. Putting essential oil directly on your pet’s coat or skin can be toxic. Symptoms of overexposure include an unsteady or wobbly walk, lethargy or depression, and a drop in body temperature. If your pet ingests essential oils, you may also see vomiting and diarrhea.
• Keep pets out of rooms where you’re using a diffuser. This is especially important if your pet has a history of respiratory issues. Birds are particularly sensitive to respiratory issues, so avoid diffusers around them.
• Keep your diffuser in an a place where pets can’t get to it. If a diffuser is knocked over, the spilled liquid could be lapped up or absorbed through tender paw pads.

For centuries, Bulgaria has been the country producing world’s highest quality rose oil. In Bulgaria, the first rose plantations appeared around the town of Kazanlak in 16th century. The climatic and soil conditions of the Kazanlak area proved to be more favorable than any other place. Gradually the number of rose plantations grew occupying a large area in central Bulgaria, known as the Valley of Roses. For more than 400 years, the Bulgarian Rose Valley has been considered the world center for rose oil production. Surrounded by two majestic mountains, the Balkan Mountain and Sredna Gora, the Valley of Roses is considered to have the best soil structure, air humidity, cloudiness and precipitation for obtaining the finest and most sought-after rose oil in the world. The mesmerizing Valley of Roses is also the home to all of Alteya’s rose plantations.

Composition of Rose Oil

Rose oil is steam distilled by a special technology and has a pale yellow color. The primary base notes are deep, sweet and floral with spicy middle notes.
At 25 C the rose oil is a viscous liquid. Upon cooling, it becomes a crystallized mass, which can be liquified by warming. Rose oil is a complex blend of more than 300 different components. The major component in a rose blossom is phenyl-ethyl alcohol. However, phenyl-ethyl alcohol is highly soluble in water and is usually lost in the distillation process, unless collected as rose water.
Major components are also: geraniol, citronellol, and nerol. Many other components are present in very small amounts, but have a substantial effect on the overall rose oil quality. An example is a compound called damascenone, which is one of the most potent odor constituents.
