    Rosehip Tea Benefits





    The rose "hip" is the red-orange seed pod on the tip of the stem that's left behind after the petals fall off. Hips are formed in all varieties of roses, but the wild rose (rosa rugusa) is said to produce the best tasting rosehips, and the dog rose (rosa canina) is purported to have the most potent properties.

    Properties

    Rosehip tea is caffeine-free and has a refreshing tart, tangy taste very similar to unsweetened cranberry juice. Drink it hot or cold. Rosehips possess significantly higher levels of Vitamin C than citrus fruits. They also contain Vitamins A, B-1, B-2, B-3, E, K, P, organic antioxidant bioflavonoids, polyphenols, carotenoids, lycopene, rutin, potassium, calcium, iron and pectin, according to RoseMagazine.com.


    History of Use

    Rosehip tea has been used medicinally for centuries by indigenous peoples in North and South America, Scandinavia and northern Europe, northern Africa, and in central and western Asia.


    Preparation

    For 1 cup hot tea: Add 2 tablespoons fresh rosehip hulls or 1 tablespoon dried rosehips in a stainless steel tea strainer and place in a ceramic cup or mug. Fill with boiling purified water and steep for 10-15 minutes. Drink 3 or more cups daily.

    For 1 quart iced tea: Add 4 tablespoons dried rosehips in cheesecloth or small muslin bag and place in a heat-proof glass or ceramic jar or pitcher. Fill with 1 quart boiling purified water and steep for 10 minutes. Add slices of fresh lemons or lemon juice and/or your favorite sweetener, if desired, and refrigerate.


    Health Benefits

    Rosehip tea is recommended by alternative medicine practitioners for relieving cold, flu and nervous stress symptoms, nausea, headaches, menstrual cramps, kidney and bladder infections, diarrhea and dizziness.

    The pectin in rosehips binds with intestinal fats in stools before they're absorbed in the bloodstream to relieve constipation and lower cholesterol.

    The antioxidants and bioflavonoids in rosehips enhance circulation and boost the body's immune system by attacking free radicals.


    Other Uses

    To soothe tired eyes, dip two cotton balls in cold, strong rosehip tea. Lie down, close your eyes and place one cotton ball on top of each eyelid.

    Rosehip tea has also been given to horses to promote their kidney, adrenal, digestive and hoof health.


    Picking and Harvesting Your Own

    The best time to gather rosehips is after a frost, when they turn a deep red or red-orange in color. They should be soft, not shriveled on the stem. After they're picked, remove the stems. Spread them out on a stainless steel cookie pan and dry them out, but not completely-- that makes itl be too hard to remove the seeds. When they are partially dried out, cut each hip in half and scrape out all of the seeds and hairs. Dry the hulls completely and place in plastic freezer bags. They can be stored in the freezer for an indefinite time or in the refrigerator for a few months.


    Warnings

    Always steep rosehips as an infusion. Boiling rosehips in water destroys the Vitamin C content.
    Avoid rosehips from roses sprayed with chemical insecticides or pesticides.
    Consult your physician or health pracitioner about drinking rosehip tea if you're taking any prescription medications.
    If you experience any side effects, stop drinking it immediately and see your physician or health practitioner.
    Avoid simmering rosehips in aluminum pans. Aluminum taints and discolors the tea and also destroys the Vitamin C content. Use stainless steel or glass.
    Avoid storing rosehips in metal boxes or containers, as they can also taint and discolor the tea.

    I only use rosewater as a toner on my skin. It contains no chemicals and no alcohol, unlike most of the other skin toners sold in stores. I don't think alcohol-based products should ever be used on the skin. Rosewater is very gentle, it doesn't irritate sensitive skin types, it is soothing, it smells beautiful, and it's also very cheap to buy. It is sold in beautiful bottles which look nice on my dressing-table. I also recommend rose-scented candles made from natural soy-wax, and rosehip tea.

    Bulgaria is famous for its rose oil:

    Bulgarian Rose Oil and the Festival of Roses

    Rose Dance in the Rose Festival

    Each year on the first weekend in June, during the harvest, there is a Festival of Roses in Kazanlak with a parade and many performances.


    Bulgaria is famous for its roses, and produces about 85 percent of all the rose oil in the world.

    Rose oil is called ‘liquid gold’ because of its great value, and is used in making perfumes, soaps, cosmetics, chocolates, and even some kinds of jam and liqueur.

    The first records about cultivating roses on Bulgarian land go back many centuries. What is called the Rose Valley developed in the area between the cities of Kazanlak and Karlovo in central Bulgaria.

    The roses seem to love the soil and climate there. The rose is the most important plant grown in Bulgaria, and we could be called the ‘country of the roses.’ The rose plantations in the Rose Valley are the largest in the world.

    Much of the population in the Rose Valley works in some way in the rose industry. In Bulgaria, we produce rose oil, rose water, rose concentrate and other products. Rose oil has an exquisite aroma, and is used in high-quality perfumes produced in many countries. The main flower grown is the Kazanlak rose (rosa damascena), which is famous around the world.

    The oil is prepared by a process of distillation. Each flower is picked by hand, and you need 3,000 kilos to make one kg of rose oil. That means about 30 blossoms for just one tiny drop of oil. So you can understand why it is so expensive.


    Each year on the first weekend in June, during the harvest, there is a Festival of Roses in Kazanlak with a parade and many performances. Judges choose the Queen of Roses in a beauty pageant as part of the summer festival. After her coronation, she rewards the most skillful pickers of roses in the harvest.

    This festival is an old tradition and goes back more than a century. Today it also includes an International Folklore Festival and attracts many tourists.

    Tourists can also visit the Rose Museum and many archeological sites in the Rose Valley dating from the very ancient kingdom of Thrace (4th century B.C.) The festival ends with a carnival procession through the Kazanlak streets at noon and a concert in the evening. There are also rose festivals in Karlovo and other towns. Come to see and enjoy!
