Second, Medicinal Value
Research on magical plants shows that roses can help regulate skin conditions during a woman's menstrual cycle, reducing acne and dull skin before and after periods.
Roses, especially blooming ones, are often used in traditional Chinese medicine. They help promote qi flow and blood circulation, commonly used for chest pain, stomach discomfort, premenstrual breast pain, injuries, phlegm accumulation, and digestive issues. Long-term use may enhance its effectiveness.
As an edible herb, rose is officially listed in the "Food Materia Medica." In folk practice, it's often mixed with sugar to make a refreshing drink, which is both tasty and beneficial for qi and blood circulation. Rose wine is also used to relieve joint pain by promoting blood flow.
Historically, rose distillate (rose water) was widely used, known for its pleasant fragrance and healing properties. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" states that roses are pure and fragrant, helping to soothe the liver, nourish the stomach, and ease chest tightness.
Medicinal roses are mainly used in their bud form, but leaves and roots are also valuable. They help regulate qi, promote blood circulation, and balance menstruation. They are particularly effective for liver and stomach pain, irregular periods, redness, and early-stage sores or bruises.
Chinese Medicine Properties
Rose has drying properties, helps circulate qi and blood, and has astringent effects. Rose buds can be used to extract essential oils. The fruit is rich in vitamin C and is a natural source for producing vitamin C supplements, often used in beverages and food products.
