Rosehips

Rose hips are the edible and nutritious fruit of the beautiful deciduous rose and contain 10-50 times the vitamin C of an orange! Rose hip tea is not only excellent for colds, it also helps soothe the nervous system, relieve exhaustion and, taken following a course of antibiotic therapy, will help re-establish the beneficial bacteria in the digestive system.

Rose hips can also be strung and worn as love attracting beads, used in healing spells and mixtures and if the tea is taken before sleep, is said to bring about prophetic dreams, especially about who your love will be!

Rose Hip Tea:
Add one tsp. Rose hips to 1 cup of boiling water. Brew for 3-5 minutes. Sweeten as desired. Some people like a very strong tea-you can brew up to 30 minutes and reheat the tea if necessary before sweetening.
