Rosehips

[Pippa]

Think they were given to sailors who were out at sea for a long time to stop a vitamin C deficiency,hence the dreaded scurvy.

Think the best ones come from wild roses the Dogrose comes to mind.

I am afraid i take the capsules i buy at the health shop which are supposed to be wonderful for the joints.

Found this info.

Rose hips are a natural way to get vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin K, and help to prevent and treat various infections, especially colds and flu. Rose hips are also taken to quicken the healing process for bruises and skin irritations. Inflammation and sore throat can find relief with rose hips, which come in capsule form and are usually taken 3 times daily. Women receive extra benefits from rose hips which help uterine cramps, heavy menstrual flow and some breast disorders.

In addition to vitamins C, E, and K, rose hips contain calcium, citric acid, iron, niacin, phosphorus, tannin, vitamin A, B1, B2, and P. As a natural stimulant it gently allows movement of the bowels, as diuretic rose hips cleanse the urinary system, as a pectoral hips are a remedy for pulmonary and other lung diseases, and as a tonic the rose hips strengthen organs.

Well i will stop there but seems a lot more than Vit C to Rose Hips

It will also cure cancer and at exceedingly high doses, if fed to politicians and bankers will solve the credit crisis.
