Dr. Zhang Xiuhong
Rosa laevigata is commonly used for its effects of consolidating essence and reducing urinary frequency, astringing the intestines to stop diarrhea, and controlling excessive uterine bleeding and leukorrhea.
With a sour, sweet, and astringent taste, and neutral property, it acts on the kidney and bladder meridians. It is suitable for symptoms such as seminal emission and spermatorrhea, frequent urination, and enuresis, and is often used in combination with other kidney-tonifying and essence-consolidating herbs. This herb demonstrates good therapeutic effects for prolonged diarrhea due to spleen deficiency and loose stools, and can be used alone or together with other antidiarrheal medications. Its water decoction can promote gastric juice secretion to aid digestion and reduce intestinal fluid secretion, thereby alleviating symptoms such as diarrhea.
Rosa laevigata can also be used to treat excessive leukorrhea, prolonged uterine bleeding, and similar conditions in women, effectively stopping bleeding by astringency and stabilizing the lower jiao. Rosa laevigata also contains various beneficial components such as citric acid, malic acid, and vitamin C, and exhibits multiple effects including lowering blood lipids, relieving cough and asthma, and antispasmodic action. Its decoction has inhibitory effects on various pathogenic bacteria and the influenza virus, demonstrating strong antiviral properties.
In clinical applications, it should be appropriately used under the guidance of qualified physicians according to each patient's specific condition.
