Rose is the personification of passion, but in the body, it reduces heat. It turns down the excitement in the limbic centre of the brain, which regulates passion. Therefore it is used for a cooling, calming effect on the skin and is beneficial to use for rosacea and similar skin conditions caused by autoimmune heat and excitation. Rose is also rich with antioxidants and has mildly astringent properties. It tightens the pores and gently tones the skin as well as strengthens skin cells, and regenerates skin tissue.

Lemon balm (Melissa) is a member of the mint family that contains flavonoids - compounds high in antioxidants that reduce environmental damage.

Valerian root is a powerful sedative. It is calming both for the mind and the body.
