Why you should use rose water
During the distillation of flowers to make essential oils, some water will remain, often this water is used. The most famous of these waters is undoubtedly rose water.
Due to its popularity, rose water is also specially created and is not just a waste product of rose oil production (both essential and oil used in perfumes and cosmetics).
The uses of rose water vary greatly. It is certainly used in cosmetics but in certain cultures it is also used for religious rites and, especially in the Middle East and Asia Minor to give flavour to dishes and sweets.
It was the Persians who perfected the distillation of rose water. In fact it is still used a lot today in Iranian cuisine, added in tea, yogurt and other sweets.
Rose water for the skin
When not put in food or as a perfume, rose water is often used for skin care. In fact it is one of the best products for older skin. It has known astringent properties and is also very suitable for sensitive skin. Unlike other astringents it does not dry out or damage the skin.
It works well as a tonic and has the advantage of not containing alcohol. It also seems that has anti-inflammatory properties and can be used in cases of eczema. In these cases, it is always advisable to first do a test in a small area of the affected area, to see if it creates problems.
The antioxidant properties of rose water have also recently been discussed. It also appears to be a great product for preventing wrinkles and keeping skin supple and hydrated, and is capable of accelerating cell reproduction. To get results, however, you must use it regularly.
Like so many plant products, it also has antibacterial properties and aids the healing of small wounds and insect bites.
You can also use it for the scalp especially to fight dandruff or certain slight inflammations often caused by dyes and other products. Massage it into your head well after shampooing.
Furthermore, rose water relaxes you and puts you in a good mood. A few drops on the pillow will help you sleep.
When buying rose water, always make sure it is 100% pure and not mixed with other chemicals. It is also possible to find a synthetic rose water on the market, needless to say that the latter does not have the properties of the natural one.

The opal symbolises faithfulness and confidence. The word comes from the Latin opalus, meaning “precious jewel.” Necklaces with opals set in them were worn to repel evil and to protect eyesight.
Opalscan exhibit a wide variety of colors.it diffracts light and can display all the colors of the rainbow simultaneously. For this reason, it has been considered great luck throughout history as it was thought to possess all the value of each gemstone in the opals color spectrum. Unfortunately after the publication of Sir Walter Scott’s novel Anne of Geierstein, people in the 1800s began to associate opals with bad luck and even death.
Known as the eyestone the opal inspires love and hope, innocence and purity, luck and happiness.Bringing energy to the system, soothing and clearing the emotional body, and boosting the will to live and the joy of life, It kindles optimism, enthusiasm and creativity, and allows for the release of inhibitions inspiring love and passion.
Opals are protective.

The sapphire was once thought to guard against evil and poisoning and there are stories that say people believed that a venomous snake would die if placed in a vessel made of sapphire. Traditionally a favorite stone of priests and kings, the sapphire symbolizes purity and wisdom.
There is evidence that lapis lazuli has been mined since 4,000 BC in Afghanistan and was a very important commodity with other developing civilizations like the Egyptians. Lapis is a soft gemstone which made it easier to work with by hand. Unlike many gems, the color blue that is characteristic of lapis lazuli is pretty uniform across most specimens. The chief difference in appearance is the concentration and arrangement of pyrite crystals that dot the exterior of lapis specimens.
In Europe, lapis was ground up and used as a paint pigment called ultramarine. Ultramarine was unique among the other blue pigments available because it did not lose its color when exposed to direct sunlight. This made it very expensive. This true blue stone has since become associated with encouraging honesty in your relationships and making better decisions.
The Sapphire is considered a very powerful amulet – it protects against envy ,strengthens memory, awakens a thirst for knowledge and arouses inspiration.It is known as the “talisman of wisdom”. Ancient Teutons believed that it helps to achieve victory, but only to those whose thoughts are pure. Sapphire protects against evil eye and curses.
At one time It was given to young nuns. It cools passion and clears the soul for prayer. If you wear a sapphire it will help you become determined and courageous. Sapphire attracts friends and repels enemies.

The August birthstone is the peridot. Attractive, brave and fearless their independent qualities and spirit means they are born leaders.Thirsty for praise and and easily angered they can be jealous and jump to conclusions. In work they love to take responsibility and are often talented in the arts and music. This romantic dreamer loves nothing more than hanging out with family and friends , falling in love easily and often having their hearts broken due to being too trusting and hasty.
The Peridot symbolises strength. It is sometimes called the “evening emerald” for its pale green color. In ancient times it was believed that the green peridot crystals found in volcanic ashes were the tears of the volcano goddess, Pele. When set in gold, this gem is said to protect the wearer from nightmares. Peridot is always a yellow green and the darker a the more valuable it is. This darkness is dictated by the amount of iron present. Ancient records indicate that the Egyptians mined peridot on an island in the Red Sea, but the location was lost until it was relocated in 1900.
One of the distinctive characteristics of peridot is that their color is the same in both natural and artificial light. This ability to give off the same green glow at night led to their association with great beauty, especially in Egyptian culture. The gift of a peridot can tell the recipient that they light up a room !
Associated with the sun, Peridot has been prized since the earliest civilizations for its protective powers to drive away the forces of darkness. Set in gold and worn around the neck or bound to the left arm, it was used as a charm against sorcery and magic, evil spirits, night terrors, and madness. It cured cowardice, calmed anger, and sharpened intelligence.It eases emotional burdens, guilt and obsessions helps the wearer to overcoming fear, depression as well as releasing jealousies, resentment and spite in order to move forward. Peridot promotes responsibility and forgiveness, instilling confidence in one’s own abilities and reestablishing a sense of self-worth.It adds intelligence to our romantic situations, giving us a bit of common sense in affairs of the heart, and protecting us from unnecessary heartache. The peridot is a wonderful stone to heal ‘ healers’ helping all those who care for others by clearing their auras and releasing toxins.
