Did you know this rose has other benefits that are behind the beauty of flowers and also as ornamental plants. as for the advantages of this rose is that we can use it to make tea, let's see for a moment and see together?....
Apart from being an ornamental plant, roses can provide benefits for the health of the body. Rose petals can be processed into tea which has many health benefits. Steeping roses or rose tea may still sound foreign to the ears of Indonesian people. However, in various cultures around the world, this type of brew has been used in herbal medicine for thousands of years.
Summarized from (Healthline), rose tea is an aromatic herbal drink made from the petals and buds of a fragrant rose. Roses have 130 species and thousands of cultivars or varieties. All roses are edible and can be used as a tea, but some varieties are sweet while others are more bitter. In Indonesia, rose tea is already on the menus of various tea shops in Indonesia and in various marketplaces. Here are some of the benefits of rose tea for health.
1). Caffeine free.
One of the benefits of rose tea for health is as a caffeine-free drink. In general, hot drinks consumed by many people contain caffeine, such as coffee, black tea, or hot chocolate.
Caffeine does offer a variety of positive effects for the body. However, according to a study entitled “A review of caffeine's effects on cognitive, physical and occupational performance”, many people cannot tolerate side effects.
People who consume caffeine can cause feelings of anxiety and increase high blood pressure. Rose tea is naturally caffeine-free so it can be a substitute for some other caffeinated drinks. Keep in mind that caffeine-free rose tea is made up of 100 percent rose petals or buds, with no other tea ingredients mixed in.
2). Lose weight.
Another benefit of rose tea for health is that it helps you lose weight. Roses have a fairly high water content. Consumption of one or more cups of rose tea per day can significantly contribute to your total water intake.
According to the publication "Water, Hydration and Health", lack of body fluids or dehydration can cause fatigue, headaches, skin problems, muscle cramps, low blood pressure, and a fast heart rate. Therefore, it is important to get enough water throughout the day by eating foods that contain lots of water and drinking water regularly.
In addition, water can help with weight loss by increasing metabolism. The study, entitled "Water-induced thermogenesis", shows that drinking 500 ml of water per day can increase metabolism by up to 30 percent.
What's more, another study entitled “Water consumption increases weight loss during a hypocaloric diet intervention in middle-aged and older adults” shows that drinking water before meals can help you lose weight. This is because consuming water before eating can make you feel fuller and reduce calorie intake.
3). Rich in antioxidants.
The benefits of rose tea can also be a source of antioxidants for body health. Antioxidants are compounds that help combat the effects of free radicals, which are reactive molecules that cause cell damage and cause oxidative stress. Reporting from "Antioxidant Phytochemicals for the Prevention.
of 12 rose cultivars found the phenol and antioxidant content in rose tea flowers was higher than green tea. In addition, rose tea is rich in gallic acid. These compounds have anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties.
Rose tea is also rich in anthocyanins which can provide health benefits for the urinary tract, eyes, improve memory, prevent aging, and reduce the risk of cancer.
4). Relieve menstrual Pain.
Another benefit of rose tea for health is to relieve menstrual pain. A study entitled "Rose tea for relief of primary dysmenorrhea in adolescents: a randomized controlled trial in Taiwan" states that menstrual pain affects about 50% of women. To overcome these symptoms, many women choose alternative methods, one of which is consuming rose tea. In the study, also investigated the effect of rose tea on 130 female students in Taiwan. They were asked to consume two cups of rose tea for 12 days, starting one week before menstruation and during six menstrual cycles. As a result, they reported that menstrual pain was reduced after consuming the rose tea. Those are some of the benefits of rose tea for health.
