Roses are also known as "Yueji", "Changchunhua", "Siji hua", "Yueyuekai", "Douxuehong", etc. Roses are beautiful and have a long flowering period, making them very popular. Not only that, they are also a good medicine.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the flowers, roots, and leaves of roses can all be used as medicine. They have a sweet and warm taste and have the effects of promoting blood circulation, regulating menstruation, detoxifying, and reducing swelling. In clinical medicine, the flowers are mostly used because they have the functions of promoting qi circulation, activating blood, regulating menstruation, and relieving pain. Therefore, they are effective in treating irregular menstruation, spasmodic abdominal pain during menstruation caused by liver depression and qi stagnation, and other related symptoms.
Pharmacological studies have shown that roses mainly contain volatile oils. In addition, they also contain gallic acid, tannic acid, and other compounds. The gallic acid in roses has strong anti-fungal effects.
