Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Rose (referring generally to Rosa species, most commonly Rosa damascena or Damask rose) has a historical tradition of use in various cultures for women's health, including menopausal symptoms. Traditional Persian and Unani medicine, for example, have recommended rose preparations (such as rose oil, tea, or water) for calming effects, mood enhancement, and as a gentle remedy for hot flashes or insomnia associated with menopause. However, scientific studies on rose’s efficacy for menopause are extremely limited. A few small studies and reviews have explored the anxiolytic and mild antidepressant effects of rose extracts, which could potentially help with mood disturbances in menopause, but these studies are not robust or menopause-specific. Currently, there is no high-quality clinical evidence supporting the use of rose for core menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, or hormonal changes. Thus, while rose is used traditionally and may offer some mild symptomatic relief (especially regarding mood and sleep), its use for menopause is not scientifically validated at this time.
