Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Rose Hip Herbal TeaOnce the petals have fallen off a rose, all that remains attached to the stem is the rose hip, also known as the dried fruit of the rose. Rose Hips are one of the most natural and abundant sources of vitamin C, much more so than oranges. Besides being a major supplier of vitamin C, Rose Hips also contain vitamin E, vitamin K, riboflavin, and folate. Rose Hips help the body defend itself against infections, especially colds and flu, by stimulating the immune system. Rose Hip's anti-inflammatory properties are also useful in relieving inflammation caused by sore throats and skin irritations. The astringent properties of Rose Hips also make it beneficial for treating diarrhea, bladder, and kidney problems. Considered to be a great body tonic, Rose Hips help combat exhaustion, as well as alleviate stress and nervousness. -- Diana Gonzalez Nothing wastes more energy than worrying - the longer a problem is carried, the heavier it gets. Don't take things too seriously - live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets. -Unknown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
