Cinnamom Rose
Rosa majalis
Rosa majalis, commonly known as meadow rose, is a plant native to Europe and Asia. While its traditional medicinal uses are not well-documented, it has shown promise in scientific research for its potential health benefits. In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that extracts from Rosa majalis possess anti-oxidant properties, with polyphenols reducing lipid peroxidation by 40-77% and macrophage degradation of LDL cholesterol similarly affected. The plant's polysaccharides also showed antiradical activity, and certain combinations exhibited synergistic effects. Notably, the predominant sugars identified were fructose, glucose, and sucrose, with glucose being most abundant in polysaccharide monomers after hydrolysis. Safety concerns for Rosa majalis are currently minimal, with no major issues recorded. There is also no evidence of significant drug interactions associated with this plant.
