Rose Absolute HealsSharing one of my favorite essential oils, Rose Absolute with amazing wellness benefits. It alleviates depression, lowers blood pressure, is good for the skin, and helps to manage pain. It also smells wonderful. Add a few drops to aloe vera and it makes a terrific insect repellent. As always read labels for application, not for internal consumption.
(Be sure to wash your hands afterwards and read labels for application guidelines.) |
