Dog Rose

Rosa Canina is a plant very rich in Vitamin C and Bioflavonoids. Thanks to its vitaminizing properties, it is very useful in the treatment of colds, conjunctivitis and asthma, but it is also taken to facilitate the absorption of iron and calcium. The anti-inflammatory property finds an important therapeutic use in inflammation of the nasal mucosa, eyes and upper airways with consequent production of phlegm. The mother tincture is therefore excellent in case of colds, allergies and in the treatment of rhinitis, conjunctivitis and asthma due to contact with pollen; but it is generally also recommended for tonsillitis, rhinopharyngitis, ear infections, coughs and colds of infectious origin. The body's immune defenses find a valid ally in rosa canina, just think that 100 grams of berries contain the same amount of Vitamin C as 1 kilo of traditional citrus fruits. The vitaminizing action is linked to the antioxidant action of Bioflavonoids, contained in the pulp and peel, which act synergistically with Vitamin C, optimizing blood circulation. This beneficial effect on blood quality is due to its ability to promote the absorption of calcium and iron in the intestine, balancing cholesterol levels and contributing to the production of hemoglobin; it also activates Vitamin B9 (folic acid). Rosa Canina is also an excellent tonic to deal with exhaustion and tiredness, helps to defeat stress; finally it stimulates the elimination of toxins through diuresis and the berries have an astringent action due to the presence of tannins, therefore useful in cases of diarrhea and intestinal colic. Thanks to the content of carotenoids and antioxidants, with Rosa Canina you can prepare various products: cosmetics such as anti-aging and anti-wrinkle, moisturizing creams for the care of dry and damaged skin and even soothing and astringent products.
