Rosehip fruits are choleretic medicinal properties. Rosehip decoction - benefits and harms that you need to know about

Medicinal plants used in the form of decoctions, infusions and teas have long and firmly entered the practice of traditional medicine and herbal medicine. Among the supplies of wild berries, almost every family has the fruits of a shrub, which received its Russian name because of the sharp thorns on the branches. How to brew rose hips in different ways, find out in the proposed review of recipes for making a vitamin drink.

The medicinal properties of rosehip decoction are proven by science.

A wild shrub dotted with thorns is the ancestor of all types of cultivated roses. However, in scientific and alternative medicine, it is not rosehip flowers that are more appreciated, but juicy goblet hypanthium with small nuts inside. Collect raw materials in the fall before the onset of frost. Decoctions and infusions (water extracts from raw materials of a medicinal plant) are prepared from the most vitamin-rich species of rose hips (May, needle-leaved, Daurian, wrinkled, Bergman).

Fruit composition

Mature hypanthia are dark orange or red in color. This is a real storehouse of substances useful for the human body. Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) in rose hips contains from 0.2 to 5%. Sh. Canine contains less vitamin C, most of all - Sh. Berger. It is worth noting that the daily requirement of an adult for this substance is 60-200 mg. In inflammatory processes in the body, high doses of ascorbic acid are useful - 400 - 500 mg.


Rosehip has a huge amount of vitamins and nutrients.

Other beneficial compounds in fruits (besides vitamin C):

  • Vitamins B1 and B2, E, K, PP, flavonoids with P-vitamin activity are substances that are responsible for many functions of the body.
  • Flavonoids - yellow pigments regulate permeability and strengthen capillary walls.
  • Catechins are flavonoid substances with strong antioxidant properties.
  • Tanning compounds are astringent and anti-inflammatory compounds that are useful in gastrointestinal disorders.
  • Pectins are natural enterosorbents, food for beneficial intestinal microflora.
  • Organic acids - stimulants of digestion in the intestines, antiseptics.
  • Simple and complex sugars are a source of energy for the body.
  • Carotenoids are provitamin A.
  • Potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, manganese - macro and microelements necessary for the body.

Ascorbic acid readily goes into aqueous solution. Vitamins B1, B2, PP, R are water-soluble. Carotenoids and vitamin K are better extracted by fats, more resistant to heat.

Biologically active compounds of rose hips have a healing effect. In addition to them, the fruits contain accompanying components and ballast substances.

Therapeutic action

In folk medicine, not only fruits are used, but also flowers, as well as rosehip roots. All parts of the thorny plant contain vitamins and flavonoids. Ascorbic acid is found most in fruits.

How to brew rose hips correctly to preserve vitamins?

The most common, simple and cheap way to use a medicinal plant is to prepare an aqueous infusion or decoction. By the name of the ancient Roman doctor, such drugs are called "galenic". Extracts contain active, accompanying and ballast substances, soluble in water.

  2. Cool for at least 10 minutes and then filter.
  3. If you take water of 1 liter or more, then boiling in a water bath is carried out for 40 minutes.

The main disadvantage of preparing rosehip herbal preparations according to standard phytotherapy recipes is the destruction of vitamin C.

Vitamins of group B, PP and K are more stable during boiling. Ascorbic acid is destroyed not only during hydrothermal treatment, but also oxidized by atmospheric oxygen. Grinding enhances, and carotenoids and vitamin E prevent this process. During storage of the hot solution, the destruction of ascorbic acid continues.

How to brew rose hips correctly in order to preserve vitamins as much as possible:

  • avoid contact of raw materials and broth with iron, copper, alkaline substances;

Rosehip is a common ingredient in traditional medicine recipes and pharmaceuticals such as Carotolin, a drug used to heal skin, rosehip syrup, which acts as a multivitamin herbal remedy. Rosehip, its beneficial properties and contraindications are known to pharmacists and doctors, is used in several forms - decoction, dry berries (fruits), fresh berries (alone or added to black tea). This is one of the few ingredients that can be used almost unconditionally during pregnancy. Leaves are rarely used because they contain less nutrients than the root and fruits.

Rosehip impact

Equally suitable for men, children and women. The antioxidant effect of rose hips is due to the content of vitamins A and E in its composition (the leaves do not contain them). They also contribute to the rapid healing of the skin. Vitamin C in the composition makes decoctions from the berries of this plant or taking them in any other form an excellent way to increase immunity, especially in the autumn - spring period (at this time, an infusion of dried berries is used, since it will not work to buy fresh ones). However, vitamin C is mainly contained in fruits (400-1200 mg per 100 g of fruits). The roots and leaves almost do not contain it. There are also a number of trace elements and minerals:

  • Magnesium (8-20 mg per 100 g), which strengthens bones, helps maintain heart rate, which is involved in the functioning of the immune and muscular systems;
  • Potassium (23-485 mg per 100 g), which is necessary for the normal functioning of the heart and blood vessels, allowing the nervous system to be maintained in order;
  • Calcium for strengthening bones, nails (26-62 mg per 100 g).

If you regularly consume herbal oil sold in pharmacies, then cholesterol levels decrease over time, which, among other things, is beneficial for the liver. This is due to the production of protective HDL - cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein), the level of which rises when vitamin C enters the body. In liver diseases, rosehips are recommended for use because it has a powerful choleretic effect. Good during pregnancy to strengthen the immune system.

The main thing that rosehip is useful for men is its beneficial effect on the walls of blood vessels. After 40 years, men are very susceptible to heart and vascular diseases, unlike women. Therefore, potassium is indispensable for them, which the rose hips contain. The leaves do not contain it. In diseases of the genitourinary system, both in women and in men, it is irreplaceable due to its diuretic effect. Good for men and for the liver.

Rosehip during pregnancy

The main property of how rose hips are useful for the body of pregnant women is the content of vitamin C in berries. Since immunity decreases during pregnancy as a result of hormonal imbalance, this vitamin will help maintain it.

It is good to take a drink for the prevention of ARVI, since other drugs are contraindicated during pregnancy. However, the recommendations are valid only in the normal course of pregnancy. If there are any deviations in the condition of the mother or the unborn baby, then you need to consult your doctor before taking the infusion.

In addition, the diuretic effect of the tea from the plant has a positive effect during pregnancy. It will not allow swelling to form. Good for the liver as well.

Preparation of infusion from fruits

Rosehip decoction, the benefits and contraindications of which will be listed below, is prepared from different components: fruits, leaves, root. Pharmacy syrup is similar in properties, since it is also prepared from fruit puree. The infusion is good in that it retains ascorbic acid in its active form, which is contained in a lot of rose hips (more than in green apples by 10 times). But in order for all the beneficial substances that contain leaves, berries and roots to be preserved, it must be prepared in accordance with the instructions below and carefully observing the proportions of the components.

It is preferable to use the infusion when you want to get the maximum of vitamin C from the fruits - with a cold and / or a spring drop in immunity. The broth is also used, however, when boiling, more than half of the volume of vitamin C is destroyed and it has less benefit for the liver. It is simple to prepare the infusion - chop dry berries, grind them in a mortar. Bring up the volume of the dry component to two tablespoons. Pour 2.5 cups of boiling water, now cover with a lid, wrap in a towel and put in a warm place. Let the solution sit for 2 hours. Now the drink needs to be filtered through 3-4 layers of cheesecloth and it is ready to use.

Council. It is even easier to prepare such a drink in a thermos. The proportions are the same, but you do not need to crush the fruits before that. Just put the berries in a thermos and pour boiling water over them. Let the mixture sit overnight. Strain the drink through a fine sieve in the morning and start taking.

Infusion from the roots

If you harvest the medicinal roots yourself, then take only thin ones - those that branch off in bunches to the sides, do not touch the central coarse root. Almost no nutrients remain in the lignified roots. Prepare the infusion as follows: pour a teaspoon of crushed roots with one glass of boiling water and leave to brew for 2 hours under a lid. Strain the composition.

Its use is not as pleasant as tinctures from berries, but it is in the roots that substances useful for the liver are hidden (they have the maximum choleretic effect) for the gallbladder. Since this infusion has a diuretic property, it is good for cystitis. And because it is able to reduce the strength of spasms and pain.

The root also exhibits healing properties in case of intestinal upset. It is used as an astringent and disinfectant component. It can also be used during pregnancy, as it is not harmful. The sour taste of the drink helps to relieve nausea with toxicosis.

Infusion of flowers

The healing beneficial properties of rose hips can be assessed by using not only berries, leaves and roots, but also flowers. They only need petals. They are best collected from fresh flowers. You need to make an infusion like this:

  1. chop the petals;
  2. stir two tablespoons of powder in one and a half cups of boiling water;
  3. leave covered for 30 minutes;
  4. wait for cooling;
  5. pass through a sieve.

Will reveal the beneficial properties of rosehip when using the infusion for the face twice a day. It tones up aging skin, rejuvenates and gives radiance. Heals small cracks and damage.

Sometimes doctors even prescribe to rinse the eyes with such a solution for suppuration and conjunctivitis. Application during pregnancy will not harm.

Contraindications for use

You can not take oil, syrup, and brew rosehip tea for those who have gallstone disease. An active diuretic effect can cause movement of stones in the gallbladder and further blockage of the ducts. The risk of such a complication is quite low, but the harm to health if it occurs is significant.

Avoid using rosehip oil, infusion and syrup, regardless of whether the fruit, leaves or root were used for its preparation, in case of serious diseases of the cardiovascular system. In this case, the effect on the blood vessels of vitamin K contained in the rose hips can bring harm, not benefit. With diagnosed thrombophlebitis or with a tendency to form blood clots, it is impossible to use infusion or syrup from any part of the rosehip. Vitamin K increases blood clotting, and therefore can be harmful to health by provoking blood clots.

Although, in general, the fruits of the plant and the oil and syrup from them have a beneficial effect on the stomach, it is impossible to use the drink with an exacerbation of peptic ulcer disease. This can cause serious harm to health due to the significant content of malic and citric acids, which the root, fruits and leaves of this plant contain. For the same reason, do not drink the infusion with a high acidity of the stomach, high secretion of digestive juice.
