 Rosehips rosa cannina
Reports have highlighted the research into Rosa canina:- “The anti-inflammatory properties of rosehip extract can alleviate joint pain in less than three weeks” A team from the University of Copenhagen followed 94 patients suffering from osteoarthritis - the most common form of the disease involving wear and tear of the joints. Overall the results showed that 82% of the patients noticed pain relief after three weeks when taking rosehip extract. The active ingredient, a fatty acid called galactolipid, has no known side effects.” Rosehips are very rich in Vitamin C, said to contain 30 times as much as an orange. They are also rich in carotenoids, including lutein and lycopene, Vitamin E, flavanoids and GLA. Rosehips are a very rich source of vitamin C and Rosehip syrup has been used for dietary vitamin C for hundreds of years.
