Wild Rose Glycerite

Rose medicine embodies the physical and emotional heart, grief, and the nervous system. Sweet yet powerful, rose works her magic from the inside out, tightening and soothing lax tissues, modulating inflammation, and strengthening the heart.

Rose is a nervine, which means she soothes a frayed nervous system, both short term and long term. Short term, she is relaxing to the nerves and comforting to those suffering grief/loss, while long term she works to tone the vagal nerve to improve our physical response to stress along with helping support those suffering from depression and anxiety.

Rose is a physical heart tonic, meaning that she strengthens the heart and its functions, including relaxing heart tension. She also can be supportive to the respiratory system in times of distress, helping to quell spasmodic coughs and congestion.

Rose is antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and astringent. These qualities make her a fabulous source of gut support, as rose has an affinity for nourishing the mucous membranes in the body and also being able to break up toxic biofilms in the body, which is where overgrowth of yeast and harmful bacteria strains tend to hide out.

Finally, Rose is a great source of support during menstruation, as rose tends to be a mild pain reliever and can help with excessive menstrual bleeding.

Emotionally, rose is a potent form of medicine for grief, particularly in the form of loss, whether death or the end of a relationship. Rose allows you to look inward, and examine yourself in a gentle manner, allowing you to give yourself grace while still learning the important lessons that loss teaches us.

Enjoy this elixir alone, added to sparking water, or paired with the motherwort elixir for the perfect herbal heartmending formula.
