Beneficial features

Rosehip or wild rose is a plant from which a delicious medicine is made and can be used to cure many diseases. Let us list the main beneficial properties of rose hips:

• this plant is a record holder for the content of vitamin C in its fruits. Scientists claim that just three rose hips contain the entire daily requirement of this vitamin;
• This plant also contains other beneficial vitamins and microelements - B vitamins, vitamins PP and K, iron, potassium, sodium, some organic acids, phosphorus, manganese, harmful substances;
• to prepare medicinal tinctures, you can use the fruits, as well as the leaves, young shoots and roots of this plant;
• with the constant use of rosehip tinctures, the immune system is strengthened, inflammatory reactions inside the body are weakened, digestion is normalized, gastric ulcers heal, and so on;
• rosehip tea is a good treatment for some mild mental disorders - depression, headache, malaise, weakness, fatigue;
• Using medicines based on wild roses, you can slow down the development of atherosclerosis.

Basic rules for procurement of raw materials

In any pharmacy it is possible to purchase packs of already collected and dried fruits. Those who are not looking for easy ways can try to prepare them themselves. The maximum concentration of nutrients in wild rose occurs in October. There are two options - either pick them and dry them, or wait until the end of autumn. In November they will dry out naturally.

It is necessary to dry the finished raw materials on the windowsill. However, there should be no direct rays - the berries will be unusable.

It is important that there is good ventilation in the house or apartment. Otherwise, the fruits will become moldy and rotten. And in the sun, the berries quickly turn black and dry out, losing the lion's share of useful elements.

Is it possible to drink rose hips for gastritis?

Gastritis is a disease that is caused by inflammation of the gastric mucosa. The main symptoms of gastritis are abdominal pain, heaviness, nausea, vomiting, weakness, and so on.

It should also be remembered that very often gastritis is asymptomatic, which makes diagnosis and treatment difficult. If this disease is not treated, the following disorders may occur - pancreatitis, peritonitis, internal bleeding, stomach cancer, and so on.

This disease is treated with the help of special medications, and the doctor must adjust the patient’s diet and prescribe him to undergo physiotherapeutic procedures.

The following is known regarding the use of rose hips for gastritis. Rosehip fruits and leaves contain a large amount of vitamin C and organic acids. If brewed, these components will turn into a decoction. This means that it is prohibited to use such decoctions based on wild roses for gastritis with high acidity of gastric juice.

We recommend: Table number 2 - an important diet for the treatment of gastritis

The fact is that acids and large amounts of vitamin C interfere with the healing of ulcers inside the stomach, so rose hips are contraindicated for gastritis with high gastric acidity.

It should be remembered that wild rose contains vitamin C in very large quantities - therefore even one berry can be enough to cause an aggravation.

Rosehip decoction for gastritis with normal and low acidity can be used during remission as an auxiliary medicine. Indeed, with such acidity, the gastric juice does not contain a large amount of hydrochloric acid, so organic acids and vitamin C will not negatively affect the course of the disease.

It should be remembered that even with gastritis with normal, low acidity and exacerbation, you should not use medicinal decoctions based on wild roses. During an exacerbation, it is advisable to replace this plant with something safer. You need to drink healing tinctures 5-6 days after the exacerbation stops, and in case of a new occurrence, you need to stop immediately.

When preparing tinctures for the treatment of gastritis based on wild rose, it is advisable to add other beneficial herbs to make the decoction balanced. Rosehip can be drunk for atrophic, lymphocytic and some other types of gastritis of the stomach.

During the period of remission, rosehip has a bactericidal effect on the walls of the stomach. And also the beneficial substances contained in this plant promote the production of bile and improve the motor functions of the stomach and intestines.

Specifics of gastritis

In the acute form of the disease, the gastric mucosa becomes inflamed. In the first days, it is recommended to refuse food. Although many patients do this on their own. Since any products cause aggravation. Then vegetable broths, porridges cooked in water, and stewed vegetables are gradually introduced into the diet. Products are selected carefully.

The patient must adhere to the following dietary rules:

1. Exclude products with coarse fibers from the menu.
2. Do not eat vegetables raw.
3. Limit the consumption of confectionery products, sour fruits, fried, hot, spicy foods.
4. Give preference to vegetable puree soups.
5. Do not consume alcoholic beverages, dishes, sauces, lard, smoked meats, or fresh bread.

If you do not adhere to proper nutrition, the disease becomes chronic and will constantly remind itself of any errors in food. It is in this case that medications are often prescribed, one of which is rose hips.

Contraindications for use

Although rose hips are very beneficial for the body, there are still a number of diseases for which its use is contraindicated:

1. Hypervitaminosis.
2. Gastritis with increased acidity of gastric juice.
3. Some types of stomach and duodenal ulcers.
4. Cholecystitis.
5. People with low blood pressure should also not consume wild rose.

Also, you should stop taking wild rose if you have an allergy (rash, redness of the skin, dry cough, nausea, headaches, etc.). Another problem is the fact that often people know practically nothing about their body and their diseases.

For example, a doctor may diagnose a stomach ulcer - but what kind of stomach ulcer? Indeed, for some ulcers, the use of rosehip-based medications is contraindicated, but in the case of other types of ulcers, the use of rosehip is permissible or even necessary.

Another problem of this kind is the acidity of gastric juice. If the acidity is high, then if you have gastritis, you should never drink a decoction based on wild roses, but in the case of low or normal acidity, drinking a decoction is not only tasty, but also healthy.

That is why, before picking berries, you need to consult a doctor and undergo all the necessary tests to make sure whether you can or cannot drink rosehip-based decoctions and tinctures.

How to take it correctly?

The extract prepared at home is drunk warm. Both cold and very hot drinks have a negative effect - water-soluble vitamins are destroyed. If you brew the drink for just a few minutes, the concentration of substances will be extremely low. The beneficial substances simply do not have time to pass into the liquid from the raw materials. That is, you will get a pleasant and tasty drink, but it will definitely not bring tangible benefits to the body.

Gastroenterologists advise using the drug before starting a meal, preferably 30 minutes before. Recommended dosage is 100 ml 2-3 times a day. In case of exacerbation of the disease, the drink is not recommended.

What can replace rosehip?

In some cases, rose hips should not be consumed. Let's find out what this medicine can replace.

After this, discard the peel and place 2 tablespoons of honey in a saucepan with boiling water, stir the mixture thoroughly until the honey is completely dissolved. Honey and lemon pulp should boil for 5-6 minutes, after which the broth should be turned off. Then place the pan with the broth for 1-2 days in a dark, dry place.

You should drink one teaspoon before meals. This medicine can be taken for gastritis with high acidity of gastric juice, since the content of organic acids and vitamins in such a decoction is not very high.

Onion and mint

Take 1 medium sized onion and 1 tablespoon of mint. Pour 0.5 liters of water into a saucepan and bring the water to a boil. Then peel the onion and throw it into boiling water. The onion should simmer over low heat for 40-50 minutes. Then add a little clean water (100–200 ml) to the broth, throw in the mint and turn off the heat.

Place the tincture in a cool, dry place for 1–2 days. The medicine is ready. Drink it 1 tablespoon after meals. This tincture normalizes metabolism, activates the immune system and improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. If the tincture seems bitter to you, you can add 1 teaspoon of sugar to it.

Let's summarize. Medicines based on rose hips can be taken during the period of remission of gastritis, if a person has normal and low acidity, but in case of high acidity it is contraindicated.

Wild rose contains a large number of useful vitamins and microelements that improve metabolism and normalize the functioning of many internal organs. Before preparing rosehip-based medications, you should consult your doctor.
