Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Rose oil has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in Persian and Ayurvedic traditions, for supporting feminine health, including the vaginal and reproductive system. It has been used in various forms—such as in suppositories, vaginal washes, and massage oils—to address menstrual discomfort, dryness, and to purportedly enhance sexual well-being. The use of rose oil in these contexts is largely based on anecdotal evidence and cultural practices rather than on rigorous scientific studies. There is a paucity of clinical research specifically investigating rose oil's effects on the vaginal body system. Some laboratory studies suggest that rose oil has mild anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which could theoretically be beneficial; however, these findings have not been directly translated into clinical recommendations or robust human trials for vaginal health. Therefore, while tradition supports its use, the current scientific evidence is weak or absent, and safety for intravaginal use has not been conclusively established.
