Pamper Your Valentine From Head To Toe With Home Spa Products Featuring Essential Oil Of Rose, The Queen Of The Flowers

The rose has been the enduring symbol of love and beauty from the beginning of history. The ancient Greeks called the rose “The Queen of the Flowers,” and the sentiment remains unchanged to this day. The rose gives us one of the most precious essential oils on Earth. Renowned for its calming and uplifting effects, rose oil is also a known aphrodisiac. More than 5000 pounds of rose petals is used to yield just one pound of rose essential oil.

Bath Petals’ best-selling essential oil scent, California Rose Garden, contains this precious substance. Created for use at home, Bath Petals’ rose-scented body oils, candles, body butter, salt scrub and bath salts with real rose petals can be used to create a blissful rose-scented home spa treatment. Through Valentine’s Day, Bath Petals is giving away one California Rose Garden Mini Candle Gift, a soy candle, with real rose petals, with each purchase of $45 or more on bathpetals.com (a $10.50 value).

A Short History of the Rose
According to Greek myth, the rose was created when the goddess of flowers found the lifeless body of a nymph in the woods. With the help of the Gods, she transformed the nymph into a flower. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, gave the nymph beauty; Dionysus, the god of wine, added nectar to give her a sweet scent, and the three Graces bestowed upon her charm, brightness and joy. Then Zephyr blew away the clouds so that Apollo, the sun god, could shine and make the flower bloom. And so the Rose was born and was immediately crowned "Queen of the Flowers".

People have been passionate about roses since the beginning of time. It is said that the floors of Cleopatra's palace were carpeted with delicate rose petals, and until the early 19th century, dried rose petals were believed to have mysterious healing powers. Napoleon gave his officers bags of rose petals to boil in white wine, to cure various ailments. Rose water is still used to refresh the hands, before a feast or festive greeting, in many countries around the world.

Today, pure rose essential oil is one of the most expensive and precious essential oils on the Earth. It takes 5,000 pounds of fresh rose petals to make just one pound of rose oil. The use of rose essential oil is beneficial to all types of skin, has aphrodisiac qualities, and is uplifting and calming.
