[INTERNAL] This systematic review of many different randomized controlled human studies showed that ingesting pure rose damascena essential oil provides potent antimicrobial benefits, killing and inhibiting the growth of multiple harmful bacteria without disrupting the healthy microbiota of the gut (see Mechanisms of Action below).

Mechanisms of Action:

Rose essential oil’s incredible pain-relief effects are due to its ability to release the neurotransmitters endorphin and enkephalin, as well as decreasing sympathetic nervous system activity and the release of the stress hormones cortisol and noradrenaline. These mechanisms are also part of its powerful mood-enhancement effects.

Its ability to regulate other hormones like estrogen and testosterone are responsible for many of its other benefits.

Its significant antioxidant properties are due to its high concentration of isoprenoid quinones, which eliminate free radicals and reactive oxygen species, as well as containing phenolic compounds which are also primary antioxidants. It also contains the bioactive compounds carnosic acid and carnosol which are potent scavengers of peroxyl radicals. 

Its antimicrobial activity comes from multiple different bioactive components, including rosmarinic acid, rosmaridiphenol, carnosol, epirosmanol, rosmanol, and alpha-pinene.
