The great physician Ibn-i Sina (Avicenna, 11th century CE) was the first scientist to emphasize rose fragrance’s beneficial effects on the heart and the brain. “Because of its exquisite fragrance, the rose addresses the soul,” he wrote. “It has a calming effect and is highly beneficial for fainting and for rapid heart beats.” He praised rose water’s effects on mind and spirit, and its beneficial effects on brain function and cognitive power — “It enhances comprehension and strengthens memory.”17 Like Ibn-i Sina, Ibn-Al-Baitar also noted rose water’s beneficial effects on the brain: “Rose water strengthens the mind and the brain, sharpens the senses, increases the life force; It is beneficial for rapid heart beats due to anxiety; because of its beneficial fragrance it empowers the body.”18 Ibn-Al-Baitar also stated that boiling rose water and exposing the head to its steam had healing effects and that it was especially beneficial for eye diseases. Additionally, he recommended inhalation of the steam to alleviate drunkenness and headaches. m.youtube/watch?v=JT8TZfqeCtw
