Pharmacy name: rosehip with seeds - Cynosbati fructus cum semine (formerly: Fructus Cynosbati cum semine) (Hagebutten), rosehip without seeds - Cynosbati fructus sine semine (formerly: Fructus Cynosynbati sine semine), rosehip seeds - Cynosbatimen: Semen: Cynosbatimen ).
Curative action and application. The presence of these substances makes the rosehip a valuable plant, tea from which is not only pleasant to the taste, but also popular as a prophylactic remedy for colds, providing a refreshing effect and at the same time increasing the body's defenses. The fact is that vitamin C stimulates the formation of antibodies and, therefore, activates the defenses against infections. And since at high temperatures vitamin C is consumed by the body especially quickly, this is an extra indicator that a person needs vitamin C for his protection and how important it is to enter it into the body.
In addition, its effect on the adrenal glands has been proven, that is, on the formation of hormones important for the body and, therefore, on increasing vitality. Finally, vitamin C is essential for wound healing. Rosehip tea is thus beneficial for infections with high fever, general weakness, and poorly healing wounds. It is also important for the elderly, in whom the intestines only have difficulty accepting the vitamins introduced into the body. Due to the presence of organic acids and pectins, rose hips also act as a mild laxative. And, of course, it is very good as an addition to the mixtures for the spring treatment.
Rosehip tea: 2 teaspoons with the top of the chopped rosehip are poured into 1/4 liter of water, heated to a boil and boiled for 10 minutes, or poured with boiling water and allowed to brew for 15 minutes. While in other teas the content of vitamins usually decreases rapidly, rosehip tea retains vitamins in full composition for several hours. Therefore, it can be recommended for thermoses.
With the help of rosehip tea, you can actively prevent colds. However, other medicinal plants also help to resist infections, which increase the defenses of our body. If, for example, you mix linden blossom in equal parts with rose hips, then the active ingredients of both medicines are combined in an extremely effective and, moreover, having a very pleasant taste tea, which should be given in case of danger of catching a cold.
