Immune System, Colds, Kidney Disease, Bladder control: Rose hips are high in vitamin C. They strengthen the immune system and can be taken to prevent or treat colds. They are also mildly diuretic and have astringent properties that can help chronic kidney disease or poor bladder control. The fruit acids and pectin in Rose hips have a slight laxative effect. Rose hips' antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties make them useful as a disinfectant.

Pour 1 cup of boiling water over 1 tbsp of dried crushed Rose hips. Steep this mixture for 10 min., then strain. Drink 1 cup 3 times daily. Commercial Rose-hips tea bags are also effective. ---------------------------------------------------------------
