Synopsis

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

Rose (Rosa spp.), particularly in the form of rose water or rose oil, has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, such as Unani, Persian, and Ayurvedic medicine, for the management of gastrointestinal complaints including nausea and vomiting. Historical texts and ethnobotanical records indicate that rose preparations were commonly used to soothe the stomach and calm the digestive tract, often being administered as an aromatic or flavoring agent in herbal remedies. The pleasant fragrance and presumed calming effects were considered beneficial for settling the stomach, particularly in cases of functional or idiopathic nausea.

However, scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of rose for nausea and vomiting is limited. There are very few clinical studies directly evaluating rose preparations for these symptoms. Some laboratory research suggests that rose extracts may have mild antispasmodic or anxiolytic effects, which could theoretically contribute to anti-nausea properties, but these findings are preliminary and not specific to nausea and vomiting. Overall, while the traditional use of rose for these indications is well documented, robust scientific validation is lacking, and the evidence base is weak (rated 2/5). Rose may be used more for its aromatic and flavor qualities rather than proven pharmacological antiemetic effects.
