Rose Hips

(Rosa multiflora var. cathayensis)

Rosehips are rich in Vitamin C and contain 3-60 times as much as citrus. They are also rich in carotenoids, vitamin A, B, E, and K, potassium, iron, lutein, lycopene, Vitamin E, flavanoids and GLA (gamma linolenic acid - omega 6). *

Here is a little more info on Roses I typed up on my blog 

Rose Hip (whole) Tincture - currently being tested, will be available soon.

An astringent for treating diarrhea, relieving colic or stomach pains, and an  effective anti-viral.  Tinctures hold Vitamin C and  the bio-chemically active nutritional and medicinal components in suspense, so this would also be good to boost the immune system to prepare for cold and flu season. *  Ingredients: Whole rose hips, 100 proof vodka. 

Suggested dosage, 6-12 drops in a sip of liquid, but listen to your body.

$7  - 1 ounce
$13 - 2 ounces

Rose Hip Oils
Whole Rose hip oil contains unique properties beneficial for revitalizing and rejuvenating the skin.  It has been used in cosmetic and herbal medicines for centuries and in skin anti-aging remedies to combat freckles, brown spots and wrinkles, and promotes young, fresh looking skin. It is well tolerated by all kinds of skin and especially useful on the skin under the eyes.

Whole rose hip oil is used also as a dietary supplement, in particular to help improve conditions of digestive system, such as ulcers.*

If my skin is oily, I use hazelnut oil.  If it's dry, almond oil.  I never use olive oil on my face, but it's wonderful for arms and legs.  
 
I typically wash my face with an all-natural mild soap containing animal fat, such as goat's milk.  Or just wash with a wet rag and no soap at all.  Pat my face dry and leave my face and hands damp.  I put about a quarter size amount of oil in my palm, rub on my hands and foreams.  Then lightly pat my hands to my face and under eyes.  The oil will absorb into the skin and will not leave an oily look.  After a time if the oil has not absorbed, just do a light water rinse, but I have never found that necessary.
