Synopsis

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

Rose water has been used traditionally in various cultures, particularly in Middle Eastern and South Asian regions, as a remedy to support emotional well-being, including mood swings. Its use in this context primarily stems from traditional herbal medicine and aromatherapy, where the soothing fragrance of rose is believed to calm the mind and uplift mood. Rose water has been incorporated into rituals, baths, and even consumed in beverages as a mild mood enhancer. However, scientific studies specifically investigating rose water's effects on mood swings are limited. Some research on rose essential oil (not specifically rose water) suggests mild anxiolytic and antidepressant effects, often attributed to inhalation of its aroma, which may influence neurotransmitter activity. Despite these hints, there is a lack of robust clinical trials or systematic reviews directly supporting the use of rose water for mood swings. Therefore, while traditional use is well documented, scientific validation remains minimal, and the evidence is best described as anecdotal or based on related, but not identical, substances.
