Synopsis

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

Cherokee Rose (Rosa laevigata) has a history of use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), where it is known as "Jin Ying Zi." In TCM, the dried fruit of the Cherokee Rose plant is used for its astringent properties, which are believed to help "consolidate the essence" and "stabilize the kidney"—terms that correspond, in part, to supporting the urinary and reproductive systems by reducing excessive urination, urinary incontinence, and leukorrhea. The astringent action is attributed to the presence of tannins and other phytochemicals in the fruit. Historical materia medica texts, such as the "Compendium of Materia Medica" (Bencao Gangmu), describe its use in formulas for urinary leakage and frequent urination. However, while traditional use is well-documented, there is a lack of robust modern clinical research specifically validating these effects in humans. Most available studies focus on the phytochemical content and general antioxidant or antimicrobial activity, rather than direct evidence of urinary system support. Therefore, Cherokee Rose’s use for urinary system support is primarily based on traditional practice rather than scientific validation.
