Ultraviolet radiation (UV) from sun has significant detoriating and degenerative effects on human skin and thus responsible for much skin disease. The most authentic and realistic approach to overcome this issue is to use or apply a barrier between sun rays and exposed skin surface using suitable products called sunscreens or UV protectors.

... Rose water was prepared by the method described and reported earlier (Abidi et al., 2018) using the hydro distillation method in which 60g dried rose petal was distilled with 1L distilled water for 4hrs to yield 800ml of rose water that was kept in airtight jar at 4 o C in refrigerator. ...
... The phytochemical analysis of rose water was performed by earlier published paper and also for the functional groups were determined through FT-IR was mentioned in the paper (Abidi et al., 2018). Cough syrup formulation 4 sets of cough syrup formulations were prepared and marked as A1, A2, A3 and A4. ...
... In the present study flower, petals achieved therapeutic effects to relieve cough and reduce airway inflammation. The pharmacological result also demonstrates that rose water from Rosa damascena was more effective in relieving cough due to the presence of polyphenolic compounds (Abidi et al., 2018) especially flavonoids. ...
Among respiratory complications, cough is an important defensive pulmonary reflex that removes fluids, irritants or foreign substances from the respiratory tract. Rosa damascene Mill, petal extract is a traditional medicine and reported to use in the management of cough. In the present study rose petals extract samples were used to prepare natural antitussive cough syrups containing ivy leaf extract to observe synergistic effect of rose water in managing coughing in rats. Four cough formulations (A1, A2, A3 and A4) were prepared. The antitussive activity was observed at three dosage levels; 5ml, 10ml and 15ml. Cough was induced by the standard procedure using sulfur dioxide gas and ammonia. The antitussive activity was recorded by observing the coughing bouts. The result indicated that all formulations had a good effect on cough reduction at 90min but comparing the effect of formulations in all doses formulations, A2 followed by A3 and A4 at 30 minute time interval which is good in comparison with standard Diphenhydramine HCL and Dextromethorphan HBr 10ml in sulfur dioxide gas and ammonia induced cough. Hence, the results of the present study indicated the synergistic effect of rose water in the management of cough ailments.
Flavonoids are phytochemical compounds present in many plants, fruits, vegetables, and leaves, with potential applications in medicinal chemistry. Flavonoids possess a number of medicinal benefits, including anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties. They also have neuroprotective and cardio-protective effects. These biological activities depend upon the type of flavonoid, its (possible) mode of action, and its bioavailability. These cost-effective medicinal components have significant biological activities, and their effectiveness has been proved for a variety of diseases. The most recent work is focused on their isolation, synthesis of their analogs, and their effects on human health using a variety of techniques and animal models. Thousands of flavonoids have been successfully isolated, and this number increases steadily. We have therefore made an effort to summarize the isolated flavonoids with useful activities in order to gain a better understanding of their effects on human health.
