Rose oil is usually quite expensive and is highly potent. It should be diluted whether you plan to inhale it or use it on your skin.

• To make a rose oil bath, add 10 drops of rose essential oil to a carrier oil, then add to a warm tub. Essential oils should always be diluted in a carrier oil before adding to water.
• To make a foot bath, add a few drops of diluted rose oil into the foot bath and soak your feet for 10 minutes.
• To treat anxiety, stress, or depression, you can either inhale rose oil using a diffuser or dab it lightly on your chest, neck, and wrists. Be sure to blend it with a carrier oil first like coconut, almond, or jojoba oil before it touches the skin. You may also benefit from a rose oil massage, in which the rose essential oil is added to a carrier massage oil.
• Before using any alternative or complementary treatment, talk to your doctor about any current medical conditions, possible drug interactions, or side effects.
