This powerful little drink has been used for centuries by cultures all over the world, and now it's gaining popularity in the Western world as well. If you're looking for a healthy way to improve your quality of life, rosehip tea is a great option.

Pain Relief

Rosehip tea has been traditionally used as a natural remedy for pain relief. Rosehip tea can be used to relieve pain from arthritis, headaches, menstrual cramps, and more. That’s because the anti-inflammatory properties of rosehip tea help to reduce swelling and pain.

One study showed that after 15 weeks, participants who were given rosehip had a significant reduction in pain, stiffness, disability and painkiller use as well as significant improvement in overall disease severity compared to participants on the placebo.

Heart Disease Prevention

Rosehip tea is also good for your heart health. One study found that people who drank rosehip tea had a significantly lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease than those who didn't drink the tea.

The flavonoids found in rosehip tea help to reduce cholesterol levels and keep your arteries clear. These benefits help to prevent heart disease and stroke.

The study was a double-blind, randomized, cross-over investigation consisting of 31 obese persons. The participants took rosehip powder daily for six weeks. Researchers found that participants who took rosehip had significant decreases in blood pressure and high cholesterol levels.¹

Weight Loss

Side Effects of Rosehip Tea

Although side effects of rose hip tea are very rare...

Some people have reported feeling nauseous or lightheaded after drinking rose hip tea, but this is usually due to drinking too much tea at once.

In rare cases, some people may experience an allergic reaction to rose hip tea, causing digestive issues, hives, or difficulty breathing. If you experience any of these side effects, seek medical attention immediately.

Rose hip tea is generally safe for most people, but it is always best to speak with your doctor before adding any new supplement to your diet.
