Title: Rosehip for aches and pains?
Post by: breeze on May 28, 2016, 07:46:31 PM

Hi

Just read an article which said rosehip is good for arthritis and general aches and pains.  Before I buy some tablets I wondered if anyone else had tried them, and had success?

My hubby gets gout sometimes, which gives him aches and pains in his toes.  He drinks rosehip tea first thing in the morning, during these attacks, and says it helps reduce some of the inflammation.

my diagnosis of bunions I made a couple of months back is 'gout' :(  I heard how berries help so started taking them in 'smoothies' and the swelling went right down, I have just ordered Rosehip juice and tea to try so will update results in time.

Cherry tablets are good for gout. My DH has been taking these for a year (after Voltarol tablets were stopped without prescription) and not a single attack of gout since he started taking them.

Rosehip tea if it also contains hibiscus is good for lowering blood pressure as well! By the time I've had this tea for this and that tea for that, I spend all day in the loo lol!

Just to give a quick update.

The rosehip tablets seem to have hit my shoulder pain on the head.  Am very impressed as I do not like taking drugs unless absolutely necessary.

Have decided to keep them by as a general anti-inflammatory/pain killer.s

I've just been diagnosed with slight osteoarthritis in my hips..at 50 !!. Its too young I feel and i am fit and active, maybe too much ? Anyways, the Dr has recommended Rosehip and i am excited to start taking some. The reviews are excellent. I've been in pain for 2 yrs now and I hope that I can reduce that and stop taking pain killers before i exercise !
