Rose oil, derived primarily from the petals of Rosa damascena, has a long history in traditional medicine systems, especially within Persian, Greek, and Ayurvedic traditions. It has been used for various gynecological purposes, including the support of the uterus and the relief of menstrual discomfort. Traditional texts and folk remedies claim that rose oil has tonic and antispasmodic effects, which may help facilitate menstrual flow and ease uterine spasms. However, the majority of these uses are grounded in anecdotal evidence and historical practices rather than rigorous scientific study.

Modern scientific research on rose oil’s direct effects on the uterus is limited. Some studies suggest that inhalation or topical application of rose oil may reduce menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea), possibly due to its mild analgesic and relaxing properties. For example, small-scale clinical trials have found that aromatherapy massage with rose oil can decrease menstrual pain intensity. However, such studies generally focus on symptom relief rather than direct effects on uterine health or function.

To date, there is insufficient scientific evidence to substantiate the broader traditional claims regarding rose oil as a uterine tonic. Most contemporary uses in this context remain rooted in tradition rather than validated by clinical research.
