Rose Hips Are Good for Bladder Problems and Infections

If you suffer from bladder problems, there is good news. Rose hips taken in a variety of forms have been used to successfully treat the bladder as well as to fight infections elsewhere in the body. Rose hips also known as hip berries, rosa species, rose haws, and wild boar fruit have an amazingly high content of vitamin C, and in fact, far outstrip citrus fruit as an abundant source of this well-known antioxidant and infection fighter. They have been used for many centuries for medicinal purposes, and, during World War II when citrus fruit was largely unavailable in Great Britain, they became especially popular and were prepared and distributed by the Ministry of Health to its citizens.

Rose hips are the fruit of the rose, usually red, gathered after the first frost, and are the part of the flower that is left when the petals drop away. They are available in many different forms and you can purchase them fresh, dried or preserved. They can be used to make tea, jelly, jam, and syrup. Tinctures (dissolved in alcohol) and other liquid forms have found to be effective in treating stomach ulcers. Because of the plants astringent properties, you can find an oil extract of the plant used in face creams designed to treat wrinkles and dark (age) spots.

You can purchase rose hips in capsule form, and two can be taken three times a day with meals. There is no record of adverse effects or negative interactions.
