Synopsis

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

China Rose (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) has been used in various traditional medicine systems, including Ayurveda and Unani, primarily for its purported benefits in treating a range of conditions such as digestive issues, wounds, and as a mild laxative. There are anecdotal and folk reports suggesting the use of China Rose for managing body odor, typically via topical application or as part of herbal baths. These uses are based on the belief that the plant's antimicrobial and deodorizing properties can help reduce unpleasant body smells, possibly by inhibiting odor-causing bacteria on the skin. However, there is a lack of robust clinical or pharmacological studies directly investigating or validating the efficacy of China Rose in controlling body odor. The available evidence is thus almost entirely traditional, with minimal to no scientific validation. On a scale of 0-5, the evidence supporting its use for body odor is rated as 1 due to the absence of systematic research or well-documented clinical trials. Most references to its use for body odor are found in herbal compendia or ethnobotanical surveys, rather than peer-reviewed scientific literature. As such, while traditional practices may advocate for the use of China Rose in this context, the strength of the evidence remains weak.
