Rockrose is one of the most important herbs used in ancient Greece. It has the highest content of polyphenols of any plant in Europe, with the ability to destroy free radicals and high antioxidant activity. The stem and leaves contain a balsamic resinous aromatic substance, labdanum, which contains organic compounds with antimicrobial and cytostatic action.

The use of rockrose provides beneficial effects on the body, particularly in improving digestive health and relieving stomach discomfort. It limits the oxidation of blood lipids, increases levels of "good" cholesterol, and reduces "bad" cholesterol, which is associated with cardiovascular problems. Its anti-inflammatory action decreases the likelihood of blood clot formation and destroys free radicals that cause oxidation and skin aging.

Rockrose is used as follows:

• Soothes irritated skin from dermatitis or acne.
• Diluted tea is used as a lotion for the skin.
• Consumption of Cistus tea is recommended daily for detoxification.

Additionally, rockrose is a honey-producing and aromatic plant, used in the preparation of fragrances.
