Synopsis

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

California rose (Rosa californica) is primarily used in traditional herbal medicine rather than supported by scientific research for the treatment of irritability. Historical records and ethnobotanical sources indicate that various indigenous groups in California have used parts of the California rose plant for a variety of medicinal purposes, including for calming effects and to promote emotional balance. However, these uses are based on anecdotal reports and oral traditions rather than rigorous clinical studies.

There is little to no peer-reviewed scientific evidence specifically examining the efficacy of California rose for irritability. While roses in general contain compounds such as flavonoids and tannins which have mild sedative or relaxing effects, no clinical trials or systematic reviews have established a direct link between California rose and relief of irritability. As such, its use for this purpose is rooted in tradition, and the overall quality and quantity of evidence is considered low (rated 1/5).

In summary, the use of California rose to support or treat irritability is justified primarily by traditional use, with minimal scientific validation to date.
