The fruit of a rose is known as the rose hip. The wild dog rose is the kind of rose most frequently cultivated for their hips. The hips themselves are picked when the flower is finished blooming. It is after this point that the hips are used in a wide variety of things because there are some pretty great rose hips benefits. Rose hips have an amazing amount of Vitamin C, more so than an orange, and they are most commonly used to help keep one’s skin healthy.

Vitamin C
Based on herbalist David Hoffmann, in his own book “The New Holistic Organic,” rose hips are one of the finest sources of vitamin C, and that may help treat infections and raise your body’s immune system. Vitamin C is an antioxidant and scavenges free radicals, which are dangerous to all cells within the body. Based on the University of Maryland Medical Center vitamin C is what helps our body’s to make collagen, and that is an essential component within the framework of our bones and muscles. Vitamin C is accountable for the appropriate absorption of iron, which makes it a useful ally for general well-being.

Helps With Healing
Rose hips are often utilized as a compress to help with scabs and surface wounds on the body. You can create a rose-hip compress with just 4 tablespoons of finely chopped rose hip in some water that is boiling. After you’re done boiling them let them cool and then soak a towel with the fluid and apply onto the problem area.

Skin Care
The special qualities of rose hip oil make it a valuable ingredient in cosmetic preparations. Rose hip oil can help regenerate new skin cells. This effect is sometimes used in treating acne, scars, and burns. The oil doesn’t dry up skin. In fact, it is helpful to re-hydrate it, maintaining the skin’s overall moisture. Drinking rose-hip tea daily will even help your overall skin health.

Cancer and Heart Disease
Rose hips are often thought of as a great cancer preventative because they have carotenoids, polyphenols, flavonoids, leucoanthocyanins, and catechins. These same antioxidants may also be used to prevent and help against cardiovascular disease.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms
While not a complete remedy for rheumatoid arthritis, research done by the Institute for Social Medicine in Berlin concluded that the utilization of rose-hip powder can help to decrease symptoms associated with rheumatoid arthritis.

Kidneys and Constipation
Pectin and the fruit acids in rose hip tea is really a gentle diuretic and laxative. It’s used to alleviate the symptoms of kidney problems, or to assist instances of mild constipation.
