Rose Petal Glycerite

For the tender-hearted, the emotionally sensitive, the lovers and the grieving. This is for those in need of softening, heart-centering, and emotional nourishment. Rose is more than a balm for the heart—it’s a true energetic harmonizer, working gently but deeply on the tissues and emotions alike. According to herbal traditions and clinical insights: Lymphatic Support: Rose acts as a gentle lymphatic mover, especially helpful in cases of heat, puffiness, or chronic low-grade stagnation. Red, Inflamed Tissue States: Traditionally used for “hot” conditions marked by redness, irritation, or heat in the mucous membranes (think sore throats, puffy gums, conjunctivitis). Venous Congestion & Capillary Fragility: A cooling tonic for venous stagnation, helping reduce bruising, mild hemorrhoids, or feelings of heaviness in the limbs. Menstrual & Pelvic Tone: Rose gently tones and cools inflamed or irritable tissues in the reproductive tract, especially when paired with grief, resentment, or heartache. Chronic Diarrhea & Bedwetting (Children): Historical use includes support for childhood bedwetting (often paired with nervous tension or emotional trauma), and mild cases of chronic diarrhea with heat and depletion. Sore Throats & Throat Tightness: Particularly useful when soreness is accompanied by emotional grief, shame, or the need to “swallow” one’s feelings. Angina & Heart Palpitations (Emotionally-Tied): Soothes the energetic heart and supports physical tension patterns held in the chest. Rosa centifolia is cooling, moistening, and gently astringent—making it well-suited for hot, inflamed, or dry constitutions, especially when emotional states mirror those qualities (fiery, irritated, restless, depleted). Plant Allies in this Formula: Rose Petals (Rosa centifolia) – Comforts the emotional heart, supports nervous system regulation, and invites self-love, sensuality, and serenity.

Children (age 2 ): Take 1–5 drops on tongue or in water, juice, or herbal tea, 1–2 times daily. Gentle enough for regular use.
