Synopsis

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

Rose (Rosa spp.), particularly in the form of rose water or rose extracts, has a long history of use in traditional systems of medicine such as Ayurveda, Unani, and Persian medicine for supporting eye health. Traditionally, rose water has been applied as eye drops or compresses to soothe eye irritation, redness, and inflammation, and it is sometimes used for its perceived cooling and anti-inflammatory properties. Historical texts and folk practices frequently reference rose water as a remedy for dry eyes, conjunctivitis, and general eye discomfort.

Modern scientific studies on rose's efficacy for eye health are limited. Some in vitro and animal studies suggest that rose extracts possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which could theoretically benefit eye tissues. However, there is a lack of robust clinical trials directly supporting the use of rose or rose water for specific eye conditions in humans. Safety and efficacy profiles for intraocular use are also not well established in the scientific literature. Therefore, while rose's use for eye health is supported by tradition, current scientific validation remains minimal.
