Among lovers of natural treatments, there is ongoing debate about how rosehip affects blood pressure. Some claim that it has a hypotensive effect, and the effect of tinctures and decoctions of the plant is even better than pills that lower blood pressure. Others are confident that rose hips are indispensable for those people who constantly suffer from decreased performance.
Naturopathic experts tend to agree that the plant can act in both directions - help with high blood pressure and increase its level if necessary. The effect depends on the amount of the product used and on the method of preparing the medicine based on the fruit. Today we need to figure out whether rosehip increases or decreases blood pressure, how to use it correctly and what are the incomparable benefits of this natural product.
Beneficial and medicinal properties of rose hips for humans
Before using rose hips, it is necessary to study the composition and effect of its fruit on health.
This plant contains a large amount of vitamins that have a beneficial effect on health. It also contains a lot of pectins, organic acids, sugar and bioflavonoids. Ripe fruits contain minerals including manganese, calcium, magnesium and sodium.
All the beneficial properties of the bush are due to the components of its composition. Regularly used decoctions and any other folk remedies prepared from this plant help strengthen the immune system. For this reason, people are less likely to get the flu and are less concerned about other colds. A decoction of the leaves of the bush also has a positive effect on the nervous system.
People who are accustomed to periodically drinking rosehip tea are less likely to suffer from depression and are not exposed to stressful situations.
The fruits of this plant have a positive effect on blood vessels. They contain minerals that can strengthen the walls of blood vessels. In addition, due to the minerals in the composition, the blood becomes thinner, the amount of cholesterol decreases, and the functioning of the circulatory system is normalized.
Many experts believe that rosehip products can be considered diuretics, since they have a choleretic effect. The use of medicinal decoctions strengthens the intestines and improves the functioning of the digestive organs. Due to the fact that rose hips are beneficial for the pancreas, doctors recommend using them to treat symptoms of ulcers and other serious stomach diseases.
Some people believe that the berries of this shrub are harmful to the respiratory system, but this is not true. Medicinal decoctions are made from the ripe fruits of the plant, the benefits of which help get rid of the symptoms of bronchitis and cope with the complications of tuberculosis.

Which rosehip infusion is best to take?
You can prepare many different remedies and decoctions from the fruits of the bush. It is recommended to familiarize yourself in advance with the types of infusions that are often used in folk medicine.
Alcoholic
Sometimes they make a medicinal product based on diluted alcohol or vodka. This infusion has tonic properties that help cope with the symptoms of low blood pressure (BP). Therefore, doctors recommend drinking this remedy only for people with hypotension.
In such products, the tonic effect is achieved through alcohol, which can cause contraction of the walls of blood vessels. To get rid of the symptoms of hypotension, you must strictly adhere to the optimal dosage. Every day before meals you need to drink 10-15 drops of the drug.
Water
Many lovers of traditional medicine use water infusions prepared from the berries of the bush. The effectiveness of such a measure directly depends on the correctness of its preparation. Preparation of the tincture begins with mixing one hundred grams of berries and 500 ml of boiling water. The mixture is infused for 3-5 hours. Then cool to room temperature and drink.
This measure is used to eliminate hypertension and lower blood pressure. Drink three times a day before meals.
Decoction
Tea infusion is popular among people because it is prepared much faster than alcohol or water infusion. However, in terms of the content of vitamins and useful components, it loses to other folk remedies.
Most of the micronutrients that make up the berries are completely destroyed during the cooking process.
To brew your own rosehip tea, add 250 grams of the bush's fruits to a liter of water and cook them on a gas stove for about 25-30 minutes. Then strain the liquid and drink it three times a day.

How and when to drink rose hips
Before using a decoction or infusion of rose hips, you should learn about the features of their use. Experts advise taking such remedies in courses. The duration of each of them should be about a month. This time is enough for the drug to work and give a positive result.
It is very important to understand the dosages of taking such drugs. Adults and teenagers should drink 70 ml of infusion 2-3 times a day before meals. For children under seven years of age, the dose is reduced to 30 ml.
Blueberries are known to contain a lot of ascorbic acid, which damages tooth enamel. Therefore, experts recommend rinsing your mouth with warm water after each use of the drug. To reduce the impact of acid on your teeth, drink the infusion through a straw.
If the drug is taken to achieve a biliary effect, it should be drunk only before meals. At the same time, a little honey is added to the decoction to increase its effectiveness.
