What is the ruling on using "Mary's rose" (rose of Jericho) to facilitate childbirth, and is that considered superstition or permissible, taking into account that it might divert one from reliance upon Allah?

The belief that a rose opening next to a pregnant woman facilitates childbirth is a superstition. The confusion stems from mixing up "Maryam's Rose" (ورد مريم) and "Maryam's Palm" (كف مريم). It is the plant "Maryam's Palm" (Anastatica hierochuntica) that aids in childbirth, and it is used by drinking its infusion to facilitate difficult labor. Dr. Jaber Al-Qahtani mentioned that half a piece of it should be soaked in a cup of cold water for 4 hours, and then the water should be drunk once.
