Synopsis

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

Cherokee Rose (Rosa laevigata) is an herb widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Its fruit, known as jin ying zi, has been historically applied to a variety of ailments, but its primary traditional indications are for conditions such as diarrhea, excessive urination, and leucorrhea. In terms of injuries, TCM texts sometimes mention the use of Cherokee Rose for "tonifying" and "stabilizing," which may include support for recovery and healing, particularly in the context of general weakness or convalescence after injury, rather than direct application to acute injuries such as wounds or fractures.

There is limited scientific research specifically evaluating the efficacy of Cherokee Rose for treating injuries. Most available studies focus on its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and astringent properties, which could theoretically support tissue repair or reduce inflammation associated with injuries. However, direct clinical trials or robust preclinical data supporting its use for injury management are lacking.

In summary, the use of Cherokee Rose for injuries is rooted in traditional practices and theory rather than rigorous scientific validation. Its historical use is more supportive or adjunctive rather than as a primary treatment for physical injuries. Thus, the evidence is largely traditional, with some plausible mechanisms suggested by modern phytochemical studies, but overall rated as weak (2/5) for this indication.
