Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Rugose Rose (Rosa rugosa) has a history of traditional use for treating external bleeding, mainly in East Asian herbal medicine. In traditional Chinese medicine, the flower buds, petals, and sometimes other parts of the plant are considered to have astringent properties. Astringents help constrict tissues and blood vessels, which can aid in stopping minor external bleeding such as cuts or abrasions. Historical texts and folk medicine practices often describe the application of crushed petals or infusions directly to wounds to promote hemostasis. However, while these traditional uses are well documented, there is very limited modern scientific research or clinical trials specifically evaluating the effectiveness of Rugose Rose for external bleeding. The rating of 2 reflects that its use is backed by long-standing traditional practice and some plausible astringent action due to the presence of tannins and polyphenolic compounds, but lacks robust scientific validation or contemporary clinical evidence. Therefore, while Rugose Rose is traditionally used for external bleeding and there is some phytochemical rationale, further research would be necessary to confirm its efficacy and safety by modern medical standards.
