Wild Rose

Wild rose, or rosehip, is an herb that thrives in Europe, North Africa and Western Asia. It grows to a height of 1-1.5 meters, climbing even other trees with its thorns. Its ornate leaves and smaller, ornamental flowers are a rich source of vitamins A, B1, B2, E, K and P, carotenes, pectins, calcium and iron. Its fruits are turned into tea or jam, offering strong antioxidant properties and treating colds, infections, and even offering relief from the pain of osteoarthritis. This shrub, beyond its beauty, is a treasure trove of healing properties worth tapping into for health and wellness.
