Traditional Uses: Rosehips have been used for centuries as a natural source of vitamin C to support immune function, as a mild laxative and diuretic, and in folk remedies for chest ailments, diarrhea, and stomach complaints. Traditional herbalists such as Culpeper also valued them for their astringent properties, which “bind the belly” and promote urination.
Potential Benefits: Rosehip powder may help reduce pain and stiffness in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, improve skin wrinkles and elasticity, and modestly lower blood pressure and LDL cholesterol levels.
Warnings: Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data. The fine hairs inside the fruit can irritate the mouth and digestive tract if not properly removed. It may increase the risk of bleeding when taken with blood thinners like warfarin.
