Herb of the Month: Rose Petals

One of the ingredients in our blends, rose petals have many beneficial qualities along with a sublime flavor & aroma. Rose hips (the fruit of the rose flower) have been popular for their high vitamin C content and are commonly added to tea blends. Romans used a rose salve for dog bites, back in the day, & the herb has continued to be used medicinally for sore throats to wounds of all sorts & to settle the stomach. Chipewa indians began making a rose tea long ago.
When smoking the herb in our blends we notice a mild lift and an added sweet, floral flavor. Rose is an herb/flower that feels nourishing in all forms probably due to its high vitamin & nutrient content.
