History: 

Rose Essential Oil has been used in beauty treatments and to treat health conditions for thousands of years. The rose itself, according to fossil evidence, is around 35 million years old, and its 150 species are thought to originate from throughout the Northern Hemisphere; from Alaska to Mexico and even northern Africa.

Two major species of rose are cultivated for the production of rose oil: 

• Rosa damascena, the damask rose, which is widely grown in Bulgaria, Syria, Turkey, Russia, Pakistan, India, Uzbekistan, Iran and China
• Rosa centifolia, the cabbage rose, which is more commonly grown in Morocco, France and Egypt.

Fun Facts About Rose Essential Oil: 

• The rose takeover: The gardeners that lived during the Han dynasty were so infatuated with the exquisiteness of the rose that their parks threatened to take over land that was otherwise used for farming. 
• The ‘wonder’ oil: The Incas adopted Rose Essential Oil in a multitude of ways, using it as a cure-all remedy.
• A very intricate process: extracting Rose Essential Oil is a highly complex process. The flowers must be harvested manually and before sunrise. Furthermore, the distillation to extract the oil must be done the very same day to ensure that the beautiful well-recognized fragrance of the rose is locked in.

Studies:

Thirteen clinical trials (772 participants) were included in a review study where Rose oil was administered (inhaled or used on the skin). Most of the studies (five trials) evaluated the pain-relieving effect of rose essential oil. Another five studies assessed the physical relaxation effect of rose essential oil. Anti-depressant, psychological relaxation, improving sexual dysfunction, and anti-anxiety effects were the other clinical properties reported for rose essential oil.

Interesting Findings:

In a 2015 study, childer after surgery were made to inhale Rose Essential Oil or Almond Oil. Those who inhaled rose essential oil described a substantial reduction in their pain levels. Researchers believe that rose essential oil may have induced the release of endorphins by the brain (aka the feel-good hormone). Based on the results of this study, researchers would suggest that aromatherapy using rose essential oil could be a great way to ease post-operative pain in patients while reducing the need for pharmaceutical treatments. 

Anti-bacterial & Anti-fungal Properties: 

Researchers have found that Rose essential oil can be effectual against a wide range of microorganisms that cause infections. This includes E. coli, as well as some strains of the bacteria that can cause staph infections (Staphylococcus) and strep throat (Streptococcus). Additionally, the study found that rose oil was effective against Candida albicans, which can cause fungal infections in the mouth and gut.

• Pets: 

Using essential oils on pets: 

The ability to tolerate essential oils is dependent on many factors, including plant species, product, dose, and route of application. Essential oil use cases show the most significant risk of toxicity is from direct skin application on your pet’s skin – these same cases also share that a large volume was applied directly and neat (pure without a carrier) to the pet’s skin. Knowing that there is a risk in using these oils on your pet’s fur or skin, we strongly recommend consultation with your veterinarian or animal care specialist prior to applying or exposure to any of our products.

If you’ve chosen to use essential oils around your pet, we first recommend taking note of your pet’s behavior, contacting your vet with any concerns, and the below list of R?t products that we feel are the most pet-friendly:

Single note essential oils:

• Chamomile essential oil
• Lavender essential oil 
• Frankincense essential oil
• Clary Sage essential oil 
• Geranium essential oil 
• Rosemary essential oil 

Should you choose to use your ultrasonic diffuser in the presence of your pet, we recommend:

• Using only small amounts of essential oils. 1-5 drops are our recommendation
• Ensure the space is well ventilated with a window open slightly for fresh air
• Always keep a door open so that the animal can enter and exit the room easily
• Take note of how your pet responds at all times and if you notice your pet resisting an aroma, discontinue use and move them to a well-ventilated space
• Be particularly mindful of pets that are in cages or enclosed spaces (including birds and small rodents) as they cannot leave the room if they become uncomfortable
