Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

China Rose (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. In these traditions, China Rose has been used for various ailments, including as a remedy for chest pain, though not always specific to cardiac causes (it may refer to general discomfort in the chest area, including coughs or congestion). The rationale for its use is largely empirical, based on the plant’s perceived anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. Some historical texts suggest its use as a heart tonic or for soothing "heat" in the chest. However, there is a lack of rigorous scientific studies directly evaluating the efficacy of China Rose for chest pain, especially when considering angina or other heart-related chest pain. Most modern scientific research on Hibiscus species focuses on other species (notably Hibiscus sabdariffa) and conditions such as hypertension, not chest pain. Therefore, its use for chest pain is justified by tradition rather than scientific validation, and the evidence supporting its effectiveness for this indication is weak and anecdotal.
