Rose Love Bath

– 7 drops of rose essential oil
– 75 g of untreated rose petals (select varieties of fragrant roses)
If the rose essential oil is known for its medicinal properties (it is purifying and anti-haemorrhagic), it is also valued for its anti-stress properties. It lowers blood nerves and prepares them to sleep. In a flask, mix rose water and sweet almond oil, add the rose essential oil drop by drop, then pour the preparation under running bath. For even more refinement, before you slip into the water, add the dried rose petals. Remember to keep some in bowls, they will freshen up your bathroom all year.
