Rose tea is naturally caffeine-free and thus could be a great replacement for some of the more common hot caffeinated beverages.
Still, keep in mind that some rose teas are a blend of regular caffeinated tea and rose petals, so if you’re going caffeine-free, be sure to choose 100% rose petal tea.
Hydration and weight loss benefits
Rose tea is primarily made up of water. For this reason, drinking one or more cups per day can significantly contribute to your total water intake.
Not drinking enough water can lead to dehydration, which can cause fatigue, headaches, skin problems, muscle cramps, low blood pressure, and rapid heart rate.
Rich in antioxidants
Antioxidants are compounds that help combat the effects of free radicals. These are reactive molecules that cause cellular damage and lead to oxidative stress, which is associated with many diseases and premature aging.
May alleviate menstrual pain
Menstrual pain affects approximately 50% of girls and women, some of whom experience vomiting, fatigue, back pain, headaches, dizziness, and diarrhea during menstruation.
Other claimed benefits
Many additional health claims have been made about rose tea. However, they are based on research that used very potent extracts.
Its purported benefits include:
- mental benefits, such as to treat dementia and seizures
- relaxation, stress reduction, and antidepressant effects
- reduced severity of allergic reactions
- antibacterial properties
- improved insulin resistance and heart health
- treatment of liver disease
- laxative effects
- anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic properties
- anticancer effects
