Synopsis

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

Cabbage Rose (Rosa centifolia), also known as Provence rose, has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine and folk remedies, particularly for skin conditions such as rashes and hives. Historical texts and ethnobotanical sources indicate that rose petals, including those from Cabbage Rose, were commonly used in poultices, compresses, and infused oils to soothe irritated skin. The petals contain volatile oils, flavonoids, and tannins, which are believed to provide anti-inflammatory and mild astringent effects that may help calm redness and irritation. In traditional Persian and Ayurvedic medicine, rose preparations have been applied topically to relieve inflammatory skin conditions, including rashes, urticaria (hives), and minor wounds.

However, while there is a robust tradition supporting the topical use of Cabbage Rose for skin complaints, direct clinical evidence or modern scientific validation remains limited. Some in vitro studies on rose extracts demonstrate anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, but these studies are typically not specific to Cabbage Rose or to the treatment of rashes and hives in humans. Thus, the justification for using Cabbage Rose in this context remains rooted in traditional practice and anecdotal use rather than rigorous scientific validation.
