What are the benefits and effects of Chinese rose? Latest interpretation

The Chinese rose is not only an ornamental flower with a long blooming period and fragrant, brightly colored blossoms, but also a fine gynecological medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine holds that Chinese rose is sweet in taste and warm in nature; entering the liver meridian, it has the effects of activating blood and regulating menstruation, reducing swelling and detoxifying. Because the Chinese rose has obvious effects in removing blood stasis, promoting qi flow and relieving pain, it is therefore often used to treat conditions such as irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea.

Clinical reports show that when women experience amenorrhea or scanty, pale and light menstruation, lower abdominal pain, accompanied by poor spirits and dry bound stools, or when the above symptoms appear during the menstrual period, treatment with Shengchun Tang gives good results. The medicinal composition of Shengchun Tang is: Chinese rose 10g, angelica 10g, salvia 10g, white peony 10g, plus an appropriate amount of brown sugar, decocted in clear water and taken. The decoction tastes sweet and fragrant, with no difficulty in swallowing; take 3 doses 3 to 5 days before each menstrual period, each time boiling one egg together with it, and its effect is reliable. It truly deserves to be called a wonderful formula for regulating menstruation, regulating qi and activating blood.

When Chinese rose is used together with bitter orange flower, it is even more of a fine formula for treating menstrual disorders caused by disharmony of qi and blood. Use 15g each of Chinese rose and bitter orange flower, decoct in water and take. Chinese rose emphasizes activating blood, while bitter orange flower leans toward promoting qi flow. The two medicines paired together, one qi and one blood, regulate both qi and blood, and their effects of regulating menstruation and activating blood, promoting qi flow and relieving pain are very good. It mainly treats women with liver qi depression, qi and blood disharmony, and obstruction of the meridians, resulting in irregular menstruation, chest and abdominal pain, poor appetite, or even nausea and vomiting.

For common gynecological diseases, folk single prescriptions and proven prescriptions using Chinese rose are also very effective. For example: steep 20g of fresh Chinese rose in boiling water and take it to treat irregular menstruation or abdominal pain during menstruation; decoct 30g of Chinese rose root, 15g each of cockscomb and motherwort in water and cook eggs to eat, which can treat dysmenorrhea.

For excessive menstruation and excessive vaginal discharge, use 15g of Chinese rose (or root) decocted in water and taken, or stewed with pork; decoct 10g of Chinese rose and 12g of jujube together, and after the decoction is ready add an appropriate amount of honey and take it. This formula is fragrant and sweet, not like medicine, and is very effective for menstrual tidal fever. In addition, women often steep Chinese rose petals in water as tea, or add them to other beauty teas for infusion, which can also activate blood and beautify the skin, helping people stay youthful.
