The rose comes originally from Iran and has been cultivated there since antiquity. In Rome, the rose was much used in festivities, and the petals were consumed as food. Rosewater was prepared by the Arab physician Avicenna (AD 980–1037). During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the rose was esteemed as a remedy for depression.
Rose is not currently used in herbal medicine, in the west but it is probably time for a re–evaluation of its medicinal benefits. The essential oil, called “attar of rose”, has been used along with petals of the rose for 5000 years in medicine in Ayurveda. Rose oil (pure otto obtained from steam distillation) is now used in aromatherapy..

Rose petals and their preparations have a similar action. Rosewater is mildly astringent and makes a valuable lotion for inflamed and sore eyes. Rose petal jam or tea makes a nourishing healthy addition to your diet.
