The
benefits of rose petal water are backed more by anecdotal evidence than
anything, but that’s no reason to shrug off this mild yet refreshing drink.
Rose petals act as a very gentle diuretic. Diuretics encourage your kidneys to
put more sodium (salt) into your urine. This excess salt in turn draws water
from your blood, decreasing the amount of water in your circulatory system.
This is not “permanent” weight loss-just water weight-but the action encourages
you to drink more and keep your system flushed clean and hydrated. Staying
hydrated, believe it or not, can be hugely beneficial to losing weight.
You will
need…
-Handful
of fresh or dried rose petals
-Distilled water (roughly 1-2 cups)
-A pot with a tightly fitting lid
Note: Be sure, especially if using fresh rose petals, that they have not been treated with any sort of chemical (insecticides, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, etc.)

Directions
Place the
pot on the stove, put in the rose petals, and add just enough distilled water
to completely cover them. If some float to the top it’s not a big deal. Cover
the pot with a tightly fitting lid and simmer until the petals lose most of
their color, about 15-20 minutes. Strain the liquid into a glass jar and keep
in the refrigerator for up to 6 days. Drink about ½-1 cup every morning on an
empty stomach.
