About Rose (Gulab)
Rose (Gulab) (Rosa damascena) is a herb used in the Ayurveda tradition to help with Stress, Skin Health, Hormonal Imbalance, and Digestive Issues. The aerial parts and leaves are the parts traditionally used, used both internally and topically.
Botanical background
Rosa × damascena (Latin for damascene rose), more commonly known as the Damask rose, or sometimes as the Iranian Rose, Bulgarian rose, Taif rose & "Emirati rose", Ispahan rose, Castile rose, and Đulbešećerka (Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Balkans) is a rose hybrid, derived from Rosa gallica and Rosa moschata. DNA analysis has shown that a third species, Rosa fedtschenkoana, has made some genetic contributions to the Damask rose.
