RE: Rosa Rugosa Recipes For Culinary & Beauty
玫瑰花🌹 Méi Guī Huā in TCM.
It's considered a warm, sweet, slightly bitter herb that helps regulate the flow of Qì, particularly in the Spleen and Liver channels.
I used to give it to patients to have as a tea to help relieve the cramping of menstruation. Also for some cases (but not all) of indigestion. This was one of my favourite herbs, not least of which was because of the smell when I would open the jar. We used the whole young bud.
I reckon the scent of it is what helps... would love to know what's in the volatile oils that does this.
Thanks for your comments @metametheus you've sparked my interest! I though I knew so much about these roses but you've helped me to see how much more there is to know so I plan to dig a lot deeper. I spend quite a bit of time with these roses, in both their fresh or dried state. they are important to me.
I have a pot of fresh rose petals brewing to drink through the day because in addition to back pain I also have menstruation cramps and somehow the combination makes me feel as though I am going to snap in half. Does it matter if you drink it hot or cold? I drink rose petal tea quite a lot but never intentionally to help relieve cramps.
Just like any tea / herbal infusion..... steep for a bit and drink. If you feel relief you can add a couple of slices of fresh ginger 😉🙏🏽☯️
