Abstract. An herbal medicine is a folk medicine. Weeds, though often planted, are the power of nourishment, medicine, magic, and beauty. Their healing properties, when taken wisely and used, can counteract major and minor health disorders. Rosaceae family. There are 266 species of families belonging to 32 genera in Central Asia, and 96 species of 11 genera in Uzbekistan. The family is divided into 7 families according to the characteristics of generative and vegetative members. These include the Spiraeoideae, Rosaideae, Maloideae-Pomoideae, and Prunoideae families, which are widespread in Uzbekistan. In ancient medicine, the most therapeutic effect of Rosaceae damascena is to treat abdominal and chest pain, strengthen the heart, treat menstrual bleeding and digestive problems, and reduce inflammation, especially in the neck. North American Indian tribes used a decoction of the root of the Rosaceae damascena plant to relieve children's coughs . This plant is also used as a mild laxative. Rose oil cures depression, sadness, nervous stress and tension. It helps to reduce thirst, treat old cough, women’s special complaints, heal wounds and keep skin healthy. Steam therapy of rose oil is useful for some allergies, headaches and migraines.The medicinal functions of rosaceae are partly due to the abundance of phenolic compounds. Phenolic substances have a wide range of pharmacological activity, such as antioxidants, free radical scavenging, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antimutagen and antidepressant.
