They have the effects of regulating qi and relieving depression, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and regulating menstruation and relieving pain. In addition, rose petals can nourish the heart and liver blood vessels, relieve internal stagnation, and have a calming and soothing effect. The rich nutrients in rose petals also have the effects of beautifying the skin and promoting blood circulation. Pu-erh tea, on the other hand, is also relatively mild in nature.
