I remember many years ago, during Valentine’s week, I had a few bouquets of roses in my office (story for another group). People would enter my office, close the door and start venting about work, life, etc. and FYI, I was not in Human Resources. As a few short minutes passed they would leave unusually humming, upbeat, and happy. I did not realize until years later when I started on my journey to health through nature what had actually occurred. The aroma of the roses was very strong in my office, especially when door was closed. Since this is Valentine’s week, I just thought I’d give some insight on the “Rose”:
Rose is a remedy that opens and softens the heart, both emotionally and physically.
“When it comes to remedies for the heart, I don’t think you can separate the physical heart from the emotional heart. I believe that most, if not all, heart conditions have an emotional component. The heart is the emotional brain and the feelings we chronically hold in our hearts have powerful effects on them.
Pleasurable emotions and experiences open the heart. This involves the blood vessels dilating which allows easier blood flow. Painful experiences and unpleasant emotions close the heart, which also has an opposite physical effect. Blood vessels constrict in stress and shock, reducing blood flow. This is why love is metaphorically considered warm, while bitterness and indifference is cold.
The heart is open and soft when we are in love; it is closed and hard when we are hateful and bitter.”1
Roses can do a lot for a wounded heart, which is why it is fitting to give the gift of roses when you have done something to hurt someone's feelings or when a person is grieving due to the death of someone close, or a breakup or divorce.
A little about “Rose Hips”

In addition, rose hips is used to help strengthen the immune system, promote circulation, reduce inflammation, and even prevent heart disease.
