Synopsis

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

Rugose Rose (Rosa rugosa) has a long history of use in traditional East Asian medicine, particularly in Chinese and Japanese herbal practices. Its petals and hips have been used for various skin conditions, including rashes and hives. Traditional texts attribute anti-inflammatory and soothing properties to its extracts, often recommending them in topical preparations to calm itching and redness. However, while there are some studies indicating Rosa species have antioxidant and mild anti-inflammatory effects, there is minimal direct scientific evidence evaluating Rugose Rose specifically for the treatment of rashes or hives. Most available studies focus on general antioxidant content or other uses such as cardiovascular health. Therefore, its topical use for skin irritation is best characterized as rooted in tradition, with some plausibility based on general antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, but lacking rigorous clinical trials or scientific validation for these specific conditions.
