Description:
Rose hip infusions and decoctions offer a wide range of therapeutic benefits, including cholagogue (bile-promoting), anti-inflammatory, anti-atherosclerotic, antiscorbutic (vitamin C-rich), and diuretic properties. They enhance oxidation-reduction processes in the body, stimulate hormone synthesis and enzyme activity, increase resistance to environmental stressors, and positively influence carbohydrate metabolism. Rose hip preparations are used in the treatment of acute and chronic infections, peptic ulcers, acute and chronic liver diseases, atherosclerosis, uterine and pulmonary hemorrhages, pneumonia, bronchopneumonia, and the prevention and treatment of vitamin C and P deficiencies. As a cholagogue, rose hip preparations are prescribed for chronic hepatitis, cholangitis, and cholecystitis. They are also used in micro-enemas for nonspecific ulcerative colitis and in dentistry for stomatitis and gingivitis.
