Rose water - rose essence in water - how to make your own rose water and how to use rose water

Rose water is like most flower essence best when prepared fro local roses - hence the only way to know that you have pure and clean rose water is to make it on your own. There are other methods to prepare rose water with heat - I strictly prefer the rose essence method using fresh clean rose petals from natural, organic grown roses of your own rose garden prepared in fresh water by the means of sunlight only.

Make sure your roses have never been exposed to chemicals, pesticide or herbicide. Rose water or rose blossom essence can be used externally for skin care or to drink in small quantities as beauty care. For that reason it is vital to have chemically clean rose blossoms only. City roses exposes to all air pollution would be a dangerous and wrong choice!

collect your young open rose blossoms early morning between sun rise and 8AM. Use clean hands - NO gloves. Hence wash your hands before with plenty of fresh water but avoid soap. take a glass bowl 3 quarter filled with clean fresh spring water. Use fresh spring water or if none available then bottled spring water - collect your rose blossoms and remove the rose petals. Put all rose petals in the glass-bowl with spring water until you have enough rose petals to cover the entire water surface.

Take your rose petal filled glass-bowl back into your home - place the bowl on a really sunny spot in a window or balcony for at least 3-4 hours. The use a strainer to remove gently all the rose petals. Store this remaining filtered rose water in a clean and closed bottle in a cool place - best in a fridge if you have one.

Since you have made your rose water from cleanest roses - you may now drink in small sips 100 to 200 ml each day. Use only the same day as you make your rose water. Hence you may repeat that procedure each day you wish to enjoy rose water.

Since you may make half a liter or more at once - use all the excess rose water for your skin beauty care. After gently washing your body and particularly your face, then use your palms to poor small amounts of rose water onto your facial skin and body skin and gently massage your body with your self made rose water or rose essence.

When your rose skin cure is finished for the day - leave all clean rose water on your skin and let all water dry naturally - the body may absorb as much of your rose essence as needed - the clean spring water helps your skin to get naturally moist. If you have your own rose garden - you may repeat that procedure 2-3 times a week as you enjoy.
