Rose Hips
Rose Hips, as a therapeutic entity, got its start during World War II in England. Due to the German submarine blockade, there was a shortage of citrus fruit in the country. The government organized the people to harvest all the Rose Hips in England to make into a Vitamin C syrup.
Citrus has been the base of our knowledge on the subject of Vitamin C. Studies have revealed that there are many other sources of that vitamin. One of the riches sources available today is Rose Hips. It reportedly has 60 times more Vitamin C than citrus fruit and it is very rich in Bioflavonoids, which are vital to build and strengthen body tissue and is important for a good blood vascular system. It helps in healing fragile capillaries. Because Rose Hips contain Vitamin C and Bioflavonoids together, it helps the body's ability to absorb Vitamin C. Rose Hips are supportive in prevention and in treatment of infections as well as helping with stress. It has been reported that arteriosclerosis is a deficiency disease of Vitamin C. Rose Hips also help with bruises, circulation, colds, flu, kidneys, mouth sores, and bladder conditions.
