Healing tea brewing methods

In order for a medicinal drink to bring maximum benefit, it should be properly prepared. There are two ways to brew medicinal fruits. According to the first of them, you should take a handful of wild rose and pour 1-1.5 liters of boiling water into it. After that, the fruits are boiled for another 10 to 15 minutes. Such tea will have a rich taste and slight sourness.

According to the second method, any number of rose hips (it all depends on individual preferences) should be poured with boiling water. The drink is infused for 10 minutes. According to experts, this method allows you to save the greatest number of useful properties of a medicinal plant.

Rosehip decoction

The raw materials are placed in a thermos, pour 500 ml of hot water and leave for 7-8 hours. Next, the finished infusion is passed through gauze or a strainer and one tsp is added. Sahara.

The second recipe is somewhat more complicated. It involves the preliminary grinding of berries, peeled of hairs. To do this, you can use a meat grinder.

You have learned how rose hips are useful for the body. Take your medicine wisely and stay healthy!

Greetings, you friends!
This drink has long been loved in our country - according to historians, since the 17th century. But do not think that it was the Russians who came up with rosehip tea, about the beneficial properties and contraindications of which I will talk today. In many countries of our Mother Earth, you can get drunk with this fragrant vitamin drink - the ancient Greeks wrote about its merits.

Very soon, on the prickly bushes of a dog rose (yes, this is an alternative name for this plant), berries-fruits will begin to actively redden, and sparrows will flock from all sides, adoring to feast on them. Grandmothers in the villages, collecting these fruits, always leave a couple of branches for birds. Why is it so important for us to find these red dried berries on the market and buy them for the whole year?

What do doctors say about the composition of rose hips?

Traditional medicine respects rose hips very much - herbalists use flowers, leaves, and even roots. But of course, the fruits of this plant are recognized as the most useful. Still, because their composition is very rich!

• First of all, they are valued for their vitamin content. For example, vitamin C here is as much as 14% (even more than in blackcurrant, which I have already talked about before). In addition, there are also B vitamins (B1, that is, thiamine; B2, that is, riboflavin; B9, that is, folic acid), P, E, K, beta-carotene.
• There is an impressive list of trace elements here: magnesium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, etc.
• Contains rosehip and organic acids (citric and malic).
• Finally, many useful nutrients are found here, for example, tannins (tannins), pectins (fiber), essential oils.

NB! Interestingly, the benefits of fruits depend on the variety of the bush from which they were plucked. The most medicinal rose hips are wrinkled and May (also known as cinnamon). However, other varieties also carry the entire list of vitamins and other important substances for our body.

What are the benefits of rosehip tea?

1. Heart and blood vessels. Golden drink helps to delay the development of a heart attack, stroke, atherosclerosis.
2. Migraine, headache. Tea relieves unpleasant symptoms.
3. Kidneys, liver. This drink is known for its urinary and choleretic effect, so it is often prescribed for diseases of these organs.
4. Recovery after fractures. The rich composition of wild rose helps people undergoing rehabilitation to return to duty faster.
5. Skin problems (scratches, insect bites, cuts, bruises). From all these misfortunes, the infusion of these red fruits helps.
6. Problems of the gastrointestinal tract (malfunctions, flatulence, colic) quickly heal tea from the berries of a dog rose.
7. Increased immunity, treatment of colds, sore throats, flu (do not forget about the high content of vitamin C).

NB! Rosehip is allowed and even indicated for pregnant women (only in moderation - if you drink it in liters, it will begin to “wash out” calcium from the body). You can also drink this drink for children, but not from birth.

Collection of fruits for a healing drink

It is interesting that for medical purposes it is customary to use the fruits of wild bushes. For some, they have been growing for years in dachas or in farmsteads, while others go to the forest to collect. Of course, sometimes bushes can be seen in cities, but not a single doctor will recommend treating the fruits growing near smog-filled roads.

Most people, when harvesting, pluck all the berries that have turned red. But there are certain selection tricks. Yes, the most useful are:

• oblong fruits of an oval form with the sepals extended forward;
• fruits with vertical sepals located strictly upwards.

If the sepals are pressed against the barrels of berries, and even lowered down, there are much fewer vitamins in such fruits. And if the berries are round, plus their inflorescences are twisted back, they will bring almost nothing good to your body.

NB! Dried berries have a shelf life of 2 years. Do not store longer - tea from stale berries may be tasty, but it will lose its benefits.

How to brew rosehip correctly?

Fresh fruits. Wash the berries, cut them. Pour boiling water at the rate: 1 part of berries - 10 parts of water. Hold the dishes with the future broth on the lowest heat for about 10 minutes (a water bath is even better for this). But that's not all: tightly cover the pan with a lid, put a large towel on top. Hold the tea in this form for up to 3 hours (you can also take a thermos instead of a saucepan). Before pouring the drink into cups, it must be carefully filtered.

Yes, as you can see, there is a lot of work, but such preparation will give the maximum benefit.

Dried fruits. Pour 1 tablespoon of dried berries with 200 ml of boiling water, let it brew for 30 minutes. Drink 20 minutes before meals for 0.5 cups (only in the morning and evening, or three times a day). Children's dosage is slightly different: ¼ cup at a time, 2 to 3 times a day.

NB! Many steam rose hips in a metal thermos. But it is believed that it is better to prepare medicinal tea not in metal, but in glass or ceramics (porcelain).

What can it be combined with?

1. With honey, hawthorn, motherwort. These ingredients are most useful for arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation). If the listed plants are steamed together with wild rose, then honey should be added to the tea that has already cooled down.
2. With red rowan. It is especially effective in the treatment of pyelonephritis. Such folk medicine is shown to children from the age of 12.
3. With dill seeds, onion peel, pine needles. Means well help with vision problems. In addition, the husk and needles in combination with rose hips are very effective for coughing. Sometimes doctors recommend such drinks to cleanse blood vessels.

And who is this plant contraindicated for?

Yes, like all drinks from the gifts of nature, rosehip tea has not only impressive beneficial properties, but also quite specific contraindications. It:

1. Serious gastrointestinal problems (high acidity, gastritis, ulcers).
2. Endocarditis.
3. Thrombophlebitis, tendency to thrombosis, varicose veins.
4. Heart failure of the dystrophic stage.
5. Doctors also recommend diabetics to be very careful about rose hips.

Since there is a lot of ascorbic acid in the fruits, the drink can damage the teeth. Of course, you shouldn't give it up because of this - it's just buy drinking straws and enjoy a rosehip gull with them.

NB! In addition, doctors warn: too much rosehip during pregnancy is dangerous - it can end in a miscarriage.

In general, if you brew these fruits correctly, you will get a truly healing tea. But do not drink it in huge cups, because the uncontrolled use of even the best, most natural and healthy drink can turn the gift of nature into an enemy of health. Be careful, and then you will never know about the dangers of wild rose!

Rosehip tea for most representatives of the current generation is a kind of reality, antiquity, a drink from the times of the USSR, irrevocably gone down in history along with the realities of everyday life. Yes, the healing power of the drink is gradually forgotten. The volume of industrial output decreased significantly, if not to say that it stopped altogether. And in vain. This natural product is an effective cure for many diseases. Particularly pleasing is the fact that raw materials can be prepared independently at home.

Autumn is the time for bright colors and the collection of useful rose hips.

The chemical composition of fruits

Botanists distinguish several dozen species of wild rose plants. And it turns out that everyone differs in the content of active substances - vitamins, sugars and acids.

Scientists have long proven the fact that rose hips have much more vitamin C than black currants, lemons, needles and junipers. And then a caveat - we are talking about plant species with white and red petals.

There is less ascorbic acid in the fruits of the pink-flowered rosehip, and the useful substance is completely absent in the plant with yellow flowers.

Rose hips are also rich in tannins and tannins. In medicine, these substances are used as astringent drugs, antidotes against certain types of poisons. Doctors note their hemostatic, antidiarrheal, antihemorrhoidal ability.
Finally, rose hips are rich in beta-carotene, which plays an important role in maintaining 100% vision.

Application in cooking

Rose hips and petals can be used to prepare a lot of culinary masterpieces - healing sweets and drinks, for example:

• jam,
• jam,
• marshmallow,
• marmalade,
• candies,
• jelly.

Rosehip tea is especially common among Russians. Let's get acquainted in more detail with the traditions of its preparation, useful properties, simple recipes.

Benefits for the body

Doctors note that when boiling any food, most vitamins and trace elements are destroyed. Rosehip tea is no exception. Drying and heat treatment of fruits significantly reduce the valuable indicators of the chemical composition. Nevertheless, people have long and successfully tested and proven the following beneficial properties of rosehip tea:

• strengthens and improves the condition of blood vessels,
• compensates for the lack of iron in anemia,
• reduces pressure,
• positively affects the processes of digestion.

However, I would especially like to pay attention to such useful properties of rosehip tea as:

• strengthening immunity,
• removal of puffiness.

Very often, doctors prescribe rosehip tea for pregnant women, as well as for people who have undergone surgery.

In the first case, useful fruits help to cope with puffiness, and in the second case, with depletion of the body due to surgery and anemia.

Attention! Rosehip tea is very useful for children! In the absence of allergies, this product can be added to the diet of a child from 6 months of age!

For a cold

Rosehip tea cannot be called a remedy for viral diseases. However, to refuse his help in the fight against the approaching OVRI is also not worth it. As already mentioned, a record amount of vitamin C and other excipients will increase the resistance of the immune system to viruses, speed up the metabolism, which means it will contribute to a speedy recovery.

For pregnant

If the pregnancy proceeds normally, a woman can safely fortify her body with a natural remedy - rosehip tea. It will not only saturate the body with vitamin C, but also remove puffiness, and also relieve the symptoms of toxicosis.
Again, tea drinking should occur in moderation and under the supervision of a doctor. After all, sometimes pregnant women suffer from constipation, jumps in blood pressure. And these are the reasons why it is better to refuse rose hips.

Contraindications

Allergy

Rosehip tea can cause an allergic reaction! This happens in the following cases:

• overdose,
• individual intolerance to individual components of the composition.

As for the first point, you need to know the daily requirement of a person of a particular age in vitamin C and not exceed it.

The second point is about cross-reaction. If the patient is allergic to peaches, apples or apricots, you should expect similar symptoms when eating rose hips.

Other warnings

• ulcer,
• gastritis,
• thrombophlebitis,
• endocarditis,
• low pressure
• constipation.

If you have these health problems, it is better to consult a doctor before drinking rosehip tea.

Question: "how to brew rosehip tea?" can't be called stupid. The main task in the preparation of the drink is to preserve the useful components of raw materials as much as possible.

High temperature, prolonged heat treatment are directly to blame for the fact that any product loses some of its vitamins, which means it becomes less valuable. To prevent this from happening, it is better to prepare rosehip tea in the following way:

1. 3 tbsp dry collection (about 18-20 fruits) are washed, put in a thermos pre-treated with boiling water
2. pour the fruits with hot water (about 60 ° C)
3. the thermos is closed, removed to infuse tea for 1 - 6 hours.

At the end of the specified time, the drink is poured into a mug and honey or sugar is added.

The ideal period for picking berries is the end of August, the beginning of September. It was then that the fruits accumulate the maximum amount of ascorbic acid. And when our berries are harvested, it's time to learn about the technique of brewing delicious and, most importantly, healthy tea!

We brew tea, preserving its beneficial properties

It is known that high temperatures have a detrimental effect on the composition of food products. To keep all the benefits of rosehip drink, we recommend that you follow the suggested recommendations.

For one drink you will need:

• 300 ml of water at a temperature of 50 degrees Celsius;
• 1 tablespoon of rose hips;
• sugar or honey to taste.

We pour dry fruits into the teapot and fill them with boiled water. Let the decoction brew for one hour. Strain the drink and add sugar or honey to taste.

Please note: do not add honey to hot broth. The delicacy will not only lose its beneficial properties, but will also begin to release dangerous hydroxymethylfurfural.

Rosehip drink goes well with fresh raspberries, strawberries, currants and mint. Want to spice up the taste? Feel free to add these ingredients to the already prepared broth. In addition to improving the taste, you will also saturate herbal tea with useful properties.

You can talk endlessly about the benefits of rosehip herbal tea. But what's the point? Drink is better to enjoy than just talk about it. Brew the fruits of the plant, call the household and enjoy this unsurpassed taste, given by nature itself, because tea is like a hug, only in a cup!
