Rose Powder by Anima Mundi Apothecary

By Anima Mundi

Rose petals and their medicine help to move and open a heart which has tightened emotionally and spiritually.  In both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and the Unani (Greek-Arabic medicine) traditions, the heart is believed to be a physical organ and the seat of consciousness.  TCM uses the term shen, while Unani medicine talks about pneuma.   Both schools teach that rose has a powerful affect on the spiritual state of one’s heart.  Unani medicine has a category of heart herbs termed as “exhilarants”, which help the spiritual heart feel joy.  Rose is considered both a shen tonic in TCM and an exhilarant in Unani medicine.

A wonderful nervine, great for uplifting the mood and alleviating depression, rose also has antispasmodic, aphrodisiac and sedative qualities, as well as being anti-inflammatory.  Rose helps regulate menstruation as well as stimulate the digestion.
