Rosewater
Rosewater (rosa centifolia) is mildly astringent, increasing the tone and firmness of the tissues. The therapeutic properties include its healing effect on insect bites, eczema, dermatitis and eye irritation. Rosewater is excellent as a facial wash and toner. The benefit comes from rosewater’s ability to stimulate the flow of the minute blood vessels under the skin. Scars, minor infections, sunburn, ageing skin and thread veins all benefit from this action. It rehabilitates capillaries helping reduce thread veins. It can be applied to insect bites and sunburn.
