At Penn Herb Company, we believe plants are both functional and deeply rooted in tradition. Botanicals like rose petals and lavender flowers have long been valued for their versatility, aroma, and role in everyday wellness practices. Rose has long been associated with the heart – comforting, uplifting, and gently opening. Lavender brings calm and balance, easing tension and inviting rest. Together, they offer simple ways to create moments of care, comfort, and connection during the winter season.
This month, we’re sharing two easy ways to bring rose and lavender into your February: a soothing rose petal bath and a decadent lavender chocolate treat.
Rose Petal & Epsom Salt Bath
This bath is ideal for unwinding at the end of the day or carving out quiet time just for yourself.
You’ll need:
• ½ cup dried rose petals
• 1 cup Epsom salt
• Optional: a few drops of rose or lavender essential oil
How to prepare:
- Bring 2 cups of water to a gentle simmer.
- Add the dried rose petals and steep for 10–15 minutes.
- Strain the liquid and pour the rose-infused water into a warm bath.
- Add Epsom salt directly to the tub and stir gently.
- If desired, add essential oils and soft lighting to create a calming atmosphere.
Tip: Take a few slow breaths, relax your shoulders, and allow yourself to fully unwind.
Lavender-Infused Chocolate Love Bites
Lavender and chocolate pair beautifully—floral, calming, and just indulgent enough to feel special.
You’ll need:
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
• 1–2 teaspoons culinary lavender flowers
• Optional: honey, sea salt, or crushed nuts
How to prepare:
- Melt the chocolate gently using a double boiler or low heat.
- Stir in the lavender flowers and allow them to infuse for 3–5 minutes.
- Spoon the chocolate into small molds or onto parchment paper.
- Top with sea salt or nuts if desired.
- Refrigerate until set.
Serving idea: Share with someone you love or enjoy a few pieces slowly with a warm cup of tea.
Love, Inspired by Nature
Love doesn’t need to be elaborate. It can be found in warm water, calming aromas, and a simple homemade treat made with care. This February, let rose and lavender bring comfort, softness, and intention into your everyday moments.
