That's interesting. I have been considering making my own rose water (not actually with rose petals, with rose scented geraniums, which are sometimes used instead since they have such a strong rose scent and are easier to grow).

I just got to know about the benefits of the Rose water. Looks like a good source of good health if you make use of it. I will search for that water from the super markets and see if I can get and enjoy the benefits.

I also have not tried making my own, I was thinking of buying the already made Rose water so I can try the benefits.

There are so many places you can get the rose water from some of which are beauty stores, online retailers, health food stores, pharmacies, or drug stores.
I hope you get to try it soon.

Wow ! These are so many uses !
I was aware of a few of these.
Yet the one about Hair care is new to me.

Never tired nor heard about this before, was really surprised rose gold has its own water. I doubt we have this over here though, even if we do it would be expensive.

Most things have more than a single use. Just that many of us don't know. That is the power of unending reading, and Forumcoin making it possible.

Thanks so much for sharing I have only ever used rose water as a toner to remove grease and makeup from my face, so I've learnt something today. I like the subtle smell of roses. I imagine it keeps the hair smelling great

Yes, I use it for almost everything nowadays. My daughter experiences the red eye from time to time so I advice her to spay it in her eyes.

I have rose water in my spray bottle so I just spray it on my face every morning, it's so refreshing.

Do let me know when you try any of the uses listed above, and the outcome as well.

Here we do have plenty of use of rose water, number one use here is as we use it for eye drop for cleaning our eyes, and it is available in medical stores. Furthermore some people add it in their food too.

Yea, I read a bottle sticker and they mentioned of adding a drop in food. This means Rose water can be used external and internal with no harm to human body.

Consuming large amounts or using rose water excessively internally may lead to potential side effects.

It's crucial to ensure that the rose water you are using is food-grade and free from additives or preservatives that may not be safe for ingestion. Additionally, individual reactions can vary, and some people may be more sensitive or allergic to certain substances.
