Rosehip decoction: composition, benefits and contraindications
Rosehip, or wild rose, is a common cultivated plant, unpretentious and tenacious. Thorny rosehip bushes are close relatives of elegant roses on long straight stems, but they are valued not so much for the beauty of flowering as for their fruits. Rosehip berries are brightly colored in shades of red, from carrot to deep burgundy. This indicates a high content of carotene in them, that is, the provitamin vitamin A, which strengthens the immune forces of the human body and performs antioxidant functions in the metabolism.
Rosehip in folk medicine and modern herbal remedies is used for:
- detoxification of the body;
- tissue regeneration;
- strengthening the walls of blood vessels;
- activation of carbohydrate and fat metabolism;
- compensation for vitamin deficiency.
How to choose a rosehip for brewing?
Like any source of biologically active substances, rose hips are not equally useful at different times of the year, at different stages of maturation and ripened in different areas. When properly processed, all the benefits of fresh raw materials are retained and concentrated in dried fruits. Before you buy rosehip berries, ask about their origin:
- The farther south the rosehip is harvested, the more vitamin C it contains. For comparison, berries grown in central Russia contain 1-1.5% ascorbic acid, and in Kazakhstan - already 4-5%. In case of a lack of vitamin C, it is worth looking for Begger's rose hips on sale, containing from 10 to 20% ascorbic acid.
- Rosehip bushes with yellow flowers produce fruits that are richer in tannins, that is, more tart in taste than pink blossoms. But a decoction of these berries more strongly promotes hematopoiesis and is preferable for anemia.
- The most effective is considered to be a rose hip harvested from August to October, that is, fully ripe, but not affected by frost. It is important that after picking the berries are not kept fresh, but dried within the first 12-24 hours.
- Contrary to popular belief, rose hips cannot be dried in the sun - ultraviolet light destroys vitamins. Buy only those berries that are dried in special industrial ovens with regular stirring.
How to brew rose hips in a thermos correctly?
The healing properties of dried rose hips are easily transformed into a decoction. But do not forget that water is the most powerful natural solvent, and it is important not to disturb the proportions, after which the concentration of nutrients in the drink will be disturbed. The temperature of the decoction is also important. Therefore, remember these rules: 
- Proportion 1:10. Simply put, for every 100 grams of dry berries, take 1 liter of water, no more and no less. To taste, you can dilute the ready-made rosehip broth for drinking with water in a glass or decanter, but you need to cook it only in this ratio.
- Water temperature. To extract useful substances from dry berries, the water must be hot enough, but not boiling, so as not to destroy chemical compounds. This is easy to observe if you first boil the water, and then remove from heat and pour the berries in a thermos or other thick-walled container.
- The condition of the berries. Rosehips are often crushed or cut before brewing - this is a mistake, the broth must be prepared from whole berries. First, with this approach, nutrients are gradually transferred into the water, better preserved. Secondly, a decoction of crushed berries will be filled with hairs and fine bristles under the skin.
How to prepare a delicious rosehip drinkable decoction?
The universal usefulness of rosehip decoction makes it indispensable in a variety of situations: for baby food, during pregnancy, as part of a medicinal diet and weight loss. You can use one brewing recipe or vary it: 
It is interesting to know that in ancient times, rosehip broth was used to dye fabrics in red and orange colors. This information illustrates how concentrated this drink is. Therefore, you should not abuse it, so that the benefit does not turn into harm. In particular, only 15 rose hips (and a decoction of them) contain a daily dose of vitamin C for an average-weight adult; more is simply not needed. And those who suffer from high acidity of the stomach and / or gastritis should use rose hips with extreme caution. The same applies to patients with liver disease. Everyone else should at least occasionally brew rosehips for drinking. With its help, it is not only easy to preserve health, but also delicious!
Rosehip has beneficial qualities that contribute to the healing and toning of our body. It is the berries of this plant that are widespread, but in the modern world, people have learned to prepare even roots, petals and seeds. It is very important not to lose those original, useful components during the preparation of the infusion or broth. Therefore, you need to know all the secrets of brewing rose hips.
Useful properties of rose hips
Rosehip is a real treasure of useful components for our body. This plant contains a large amount of vitamins (C, A, K, P, E, B). Also, it contains trace elements that perform a number of important functions in the system of the human body.
Due to such a rich content of vital components, rose hips are used as a tonic. In the cold season, a decoction of these berries is effective for the prevention of colds. If you are concerned about problems with the intestines or kidneys, then rose hips will become your irreplaceable friends for cleansing the body of toxins.
The fact that rose hips have a large number of medicinal properties has been proven for many years. When compared with other plants, these berries will break all records for the content of nutrients. Rosehip can be used both as a prophylactic agent and as a remedy.
Brewing fresh rose hips
We can brew fresh rose hips only during its flowering period. However, even with such a short period, we can get the most from these fruits. With fresh fruits, you need to be careful and follow the instructions clearly. Since they are in this form are more delicate and lose their beneficial substances faster. But if you learn how to properly prepare the broth, then you will get a drink from all the healing components. Let's get down to business:
- The first step is to rinse the berries well, preferably with warm water.
- We open and remove the outer hairs that irritate the mucous membrane and can cause discomfort in the throat.
- After receiving clean and peeled seeds, we begin to knead them with a fork.
- After receiving a homogeneous mass, pour it into glassware and fill it with water, the temperature of which should not exceed 60 degrees.
- We leave the resulting solution to infuse. It is advisable to withstand 40 minutes, more is possible, but not less. To make it more pleasant to drink the infusion, you must strain it.
- Again we take the rosehip berries and fill it with water in the following ratio: 1 tsp = 0.5 l. water. We boil for 40 minutes.
- Cool the broth to an acceptable temperature and mix it with the ready-made infusion. You can add a little honey according to your taste preferences.
In one of the points it was indicated that during the preparation of the infusion, the water should not exceed 60 degrees. Such designations were chosen for a reason. The fact is that if the temperature is higher, vitamins will begin to break down, and, accordingly, a drink made from rosehip berries will become useless.
We brew dried rose hips
We brew dry rosehips much more often. In principle, the cooking method itself does not differ from the principle with fresh berries. However, there are also some nuances here. So, we are preparing dried rose hips:
- We wash the berries with lukewarm water. If in the variant with fresh fruits we used warm water, then lower temperatures are used here.
- There is no need to peel the berries from the hairs, we immediately start chopping. You can use the technique: starting with an ordinary blender and ending with a coffee maker.
- We should get a flour-like mixture, which must be poured into a thermos, filled with water and infused for an hour.
- Now we boil 1 tsp. mixture in 0.5 l. water. Pass the broth through a sieve and mix with the infusion.
If you do not have the opportunity to grind the fruits, then you can use whole berries. But then you must understand that the cooking process will take longer. It has already been repeated more than once that you need to take glassware in cooking. This factor is due to the fact that all useful properties are reduced in the metal.
The easiest way to make a drink from dry whole berries: pour water over the fruits and leave for no more than 12 hours. In order not to keep track of time, you can simply leave the drink infused overnight. This option is also more economical, since the berries can be reused. The same berries can be used no more than four times, otherwise then they already lose their vitamins, minerals and other useful components.
All of the above recipes are for preventive purposes. If you want to use rose hips for a specific disease, then you need to take prescriptions exclusively from your doctor. Because in dealing with different diseases, recipes and proportions always change.
Preparation of infusion
The advantage of infusion is that the fruits retain more vitamins and minerals. In this case, the rosehip does not need to be boiled, but insisted. Fresh berries need to be washed, chopped to a mushy state and do not forget to remove the villi. If you are dealing with dry fruits, then you just need to rinse them.
Pour the berries not with boiling water, but with warm water. This is done in order to preserve as many useful properties as possible. Water must be used with a temperature of no more than 60 degrees, and in all cases of preparation. You need to insist at least four hours, but not more than a day. After the elapsed time, the infusion must be passed through a sieve or gauze, and then drunk. Depending on your taste preferences, you can add a spoonful of honey, but not sugar.
Decoction preparation
It is the rosehip broth that people cook most often. And all because you do not need to wait for certain hours, but get a healing drink in a short time. But this method also has its negative sides, for example, one of them is the fact that during boiling some of the vitamins lose their beneficial properties.
Rosehips should be thrown into boiling water for no more than 15 minutes. Leave the resulting broth for at least three hours. To obtain a more effective result, the container with the drink must be wrapped with something warm. So, you will save heat for a longer time. Do not forget to pass the drink through a sieve or cheesecloth. You can add honey or a little sugar if you don't like the original taste.
If you are dealing with fresh berries, then first you need to rinse them in lukewarm water and clean them of lint. Since the villi have a negative effect on the condition of the mucous membrane, they cause itching and discomfort in the throat. Sometimes even a cough appears.
Rosehip is a useful plant, this is already clear from all of the above. But not many people find its taste acceptable. Very often, children do not like to drink such a healing drink, without taking into account all the positive aspects. For a long time, adults have been looking for the very way to force a child to drink a decoction. Through trial and error, the following recipe came up:
- We take dry berries and rinse them.
- Grind everything to get a whole mass.
- Pour everything into a thermos and add any dried fruits to your taste.
- Pour boiling water over everything and leave for about eight hours.
As a result, you get a whole cocktail with healing properties. Such a drink is a joy for children, and for adults there are fewer problems. Moreover, this method of preparation does not in any way affect the quality of the product, that is, all the nutrients remain in place.
It was repeated more than once that it was necessary to remove the villi. But no matter how hard you try, you can't remove all of them. That is why it is so important not to forget to pass the infusion and decoction of berries through a sieve or cheesecloth. For preventive purposes, such a drink is consumed for a month, after which a break is made for a couple of weeks and the circle is repeated. You need to use a ready-made broth or infusion no more than three times a day, and preferably before meals.
Pregnant women need to be careful with this product. 15 medium berries contain a daily dose of vitamin C, so you need to follow the rate of drinking. Doctors recommend using an infusion of dried fruits. Before you start using rose hips, it is best to consult your doctor. Since each girl's pregnancy takes place in the individual conditions of the body. Rosehip drink is especially recommended for pregnant women in the cold season to replace drugs harmful to the body, to protect themselves from colds and other infections.
At the beginning of the article, it was said that you can brew not only berries, but also, for example, the root. The recipe for the rosehip root is as follows:
- Grind the root and take a tablespoon of the mixture.
- Cook for twenty minutes in 0.5 liter water.
- We insist no more than 15 minutes in a closed container and, if possible, wrapped in something warm.
- We pass through a sieve or cheesecloth and enjoy the wonderful taste.
Rosehip can help overweight people. This is an effective remedy only if the person is obese. Berries contain many substances that have a positive effect on our metabolism. In order for the body to begin to cleanse itself of toxins, and the metabolism to accelerate, use one of the above recipes and drink a decoction or infusion for two weeks, three times a day. The course of admission for weight loss should not exceed four weeks.
So, there are two ways to cook rose hips: decoction and infusion. Depending on your taste preferences, you can add honey or dried fruit. Each recipe has its own nuances, but in general they have one formula: wash - grind - insist or boil - drink. If the drink is used to cure a certain disease, then the prescription must be taken from a doctor.
