(The price includes VAT.)
The Wild Rose tincture is derived from soaking wild rose in an alcoholic solution (grappa) for a period of 4-6 weeks. During this time, the active ingredients of the plant dissolve into the alcoholic solution, resulting in the tincture.
The fruit of the plant is rich in vitamins, minerals, dietary fibers, and nutrients. Specifically, it contains vitamins A, B, C, E, K, citric acid, ascorbic acid, flavonoid antioxidants, tannins, pectin, calcium, iron, silicon, selenium, sodium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, phosphorus, and zinc. The fruit is known for its high vitamin C content, approximately 50 times more than that of an orange.
The therapeutic properties of the plant have been known since ancient times. In AD 77, the Roman author Pliny recorded 32 disorders treatable with preparations from this plant. In Chinese medicine, it has long been used to treat kidney and urinary system issues, while in Ayurveda (the traditional Indian medical system), it is utilized as a tonic to increase energy and well-being. During World War II in Britain, when citrus imports were limited, wild rose was widely used as a vitamin C supplement for children.
In modern herbal medicine, it is used as an astringent, diuretic, tonic, and laxative with antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Its nutrients strengthen the immune system and help prevent illnesses such as colds, flu, and viruses. It affects the respiratory system and facilitates breathing by clearing mucus. Additionally, its anti-inflammatory properties are beneficial for patients suffering from osteoarthritis in the knee and hip. Scientific studies in Denmark and America report that patients who underwent treatment with this plant showed significantly less joint stiffness and pain, allowing them to reduce their usual medication. It also has anti-aging effects by combating cellular damage caused by free radicals. The dog rose is a valuable herb for health, cleansing the body of microbes while providing vitality and well-being.
Tinctures retain all the active ingredients of the herb, are particularly easy to take, and are completely natural. They undoubtedly have advantages over dietary supplements in pill form, as they do not contain chemicals or preservatives and are absorbed much more effectively by the body.
