A new herb has been added to our East West Healing Academy Herb Directory, Rose (Mei Gui Hua).
The Rose was one of the most valued medicinal plants in the monastery gardens of Medieval Europe. Rose petals are very astringent making them excellent for washing skin and bruises. Roses are also classically considered a strong aphrodisiac and anti-depressant. The Persians are credited with the development of rose oil.
