Pharmacodynamics
Useful properties of rose hips: vitamin, tonic, antimicrobial, choleretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-atherosclerotic. Rose hips are a multivitamin with a predominance of vitamin C - ascorbic acid, as well as vitamin P (rutin), group B, K, carotene, vitamin E. In addition, the fruits contain flavonol glycosides kaempferol and quercetin, sugar - up to 18%, tannins - up to 4.5%, pectins - 3.7%, organic acids: citric - up to 2%, malic - up to 1.8%, etc.; lycopene, rubixanthin, essential oil, a significant amount of potassium salts, iron, manganese, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium. Rose hips have phytoncidal and powerful bactericidal properties. Rose hips, in addition to multivitamin properties, have choleretic, anti-inflammatory, regulating the activity of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as diuretic properties, which are not accompanied by irritation of the kidney tissue. Vitamin C - ascorbic acid - is involved in many redox processes in the body. Rose hips reduce the development of atherosclerosis. Vitamin P helps reduce capillary fragility and improves the body's use of ascorbic acid. Vitamin A - carotene - increases the overall resistance of the body. Vitamins B1, B2 affect the hematopoietic organs and improve vision. Vitamin K promotes normal blood clotting.
Contraindications for use
A large amount of ascorbic acid in rosehip decoction, infusion or tea can destroy tooth enamel. After taking rose hips, you should rinse your mouth with clean water. To reduce the destructive effect of acids on tooth enamel, you can drink rosehip infusion through a straw. For the same reason (high content of ascorbic acid), rosehip preparations are contraindicated for gastritis, duodenal ulcer or stomach with high acidity. Heart failure of the third degree, endocarditis and thrombophlebitis are contraindications for taking drugs from rose hips due to their high content of vitamin K, which increases blood clotting and, therefore, increases the risk of thrombosis in these diseases. You should know when to stop when treating with rose hips. Long-term use of rosehip infusion, decoction or syrup, which is useful for hepatitis and cholecystitis, can have the opposite effect on the liver - cause stagnation of bile and deterioration of the condition. Therefore, treatment of hepatitis with rose hips must be alternated with other herbs - cinquefoil, golden capillary, elecampane, and sandy immortelle. Hypotonic patients should remember that infusion and decoction of rose hips lowers blood pressure and, if necessary, compensate for this effect.
