Traditional Uses

It is commonly paired with chrysanthemum and goji berry for a bright spring infusion, or with red date and longan in gentle congee and sweet soups. In TCM food therapy, rose buds are also used in seasonal spring blends to harmonize the Liver and support a calm, balanced constitution.
