Summers air is filled with sweet scents of peonies and roses. I love the colors and scents of peonies they are such delicate flowers and the smell matches the beautiful flower head. The petals are edible, excellent in salads, and can be preserved in jams and jellies. There are also some well-being benefits to peonies and roses. Peonies have anti-inflammatory properties and anti-bacterial, there are also anti-aging benefits in peonies helping smooth out skin and fighting aging tissue. These natural properties are a lot safer and cleaner than using chemicals on your skin. The petals can be dried and added to bath salt or soap bars. Body scrubs are also an excellent way to help exfoliate your skin. Making them at home is fun and better for the environment. Using natural ingredients and also things you have around the house means a climate-positive and zero-waste product.
