Roses have been used in Ayurveda (Indian traditional medicine) and Traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years to treat certain conditions.
Traditional Chinese medicine considers rose petals a potential remedy for digestive problems, tiredness, poor sleep, anxiety, mood swings and menstrual cramps.
In India, roses have been used for thousands of years in Ayurveda (Indian traditional medicine) and are thought to help with digestion, good skin complexion and as an aphrodisiac.
Studies are still being undertaken in the Western world, with most studies done on animals and in the lab.
Fennel seeds are used in India and they are thought to have a cooling effect on the body, help with digestion, soothe the nerves, help with abdominal pain during menstruation and increase the flow of breastmilk.
In modern science, fennel seeds are thought to combat aging and they may relieve menstrual cramps. They are also beneficial for good bone health.
What better way to take advantage of these benefits than with a refreshing and calming cup of iced herbal fennel and rose tea in the afternoon?
Drinking a cup of iced herbal tea is miles better than an iced cup of black tea or coffee loaded with caffeine – especially if you struggle with sleep. Rose tea will calm your senses and aid with better sleep.
