Description :

Wild roses typically grow as a shrub in dense thickets that may reach nine feet in height. Roses reproduce both by seed and by sending out suckers from the roots. All wild rose flowers have five petals and numerous stamens. The flowers are commonly a shade of pink or, less commonly, white. The leaves grow alternately up the stem. Rose Hips are the fruit of the rose bush and first appear on the plant when the petals of the flowers fall off. At that time, they usually appear green and then ripen through shades of orange and red. Very ripe Rose Hips can be almost black in color. Rose Hips historically have been used to help with skin disorders, hepatotoxicity, renal disturbances, diarrhea, inflammatory disorders, arthritis, diabetes, and cancer. Of Course None of that has been verified by the FDA.

History and Folklore:

The ancient Chinese, Persians, Romans and Greeks all understood the benefits of Rose Hips. Rose Hips have been used for the bites of rabid dogs, stomach complaints, menstrual problems and diarrhea. Rose Hips occupied a space in the British pharmacopeia well into the 1930s. During World War II, rose hips were gathered and made into a syrup for the troops to supply them with vitamin C in the absence of citris fruits.

Cultivation and Harvest:

Harvest the hips in the fall, after the first frost. When fresh off the bush they often have more vitamin C per weight than an orange.

Precautions:

Do not use while pregnant or nursing.

How to Take Herbs - Product Forms and Suggested Servings

Product Forms

Most HomeGrown Herbalist products are sold in three forms: powders, tinctures and capsules. People often ask which form is best. The truth is, it matters very little how we get herbs into our body but there are some advantages to each form.

Powders: Powders are the least expensive form. Powders can be made into teas or tinctures or you can just put the powder into a little juice or water and drink it.

Tinctures: Tinctures are alcohol extracts of herbs. They act a little more quickly in the body and are very portable. Tinctures can be taken alone or mixed with a little juice or water.

Capsules: Capsules are my least favorite form personally. I believe that many herbs are more effective if capsules aren't used. Click here to read a blog article on Capsules

Any of the above forms can be mixed with your morning smoothie or with yogurt, apple sauce etc... Tinctures mix really well with these products: Barleans Seriously Delicious Omega-3 Fish Oil. This is a great way to get tinctures into those who are sensitive to yucky herb flavors.

Recommended Servings for Humans

For chronic or maintenance issues, twice daily is usually sufficient. For acute situations, dosing can be done more frequently.

Herbs and Children

Don't use herbs in children without consulting a physician. When I do use herbs for children, I dose them based on weight compared to an adult...1/2 an adult...1/3 of an adult etc...

Herbs and Pets

All of our formulas were created so that they could be used in either humans or in dogs, cats and livestock. Most dogs will eat herbs willingly if the powdered form is mixed with a little wet food.

The HomeGrown Approach - What Makes us Different?

Many of our Herbal Products are created with herbs that are grown right here! Of course there are many plants that are outside the scope of our ability to grow in Idaho, due to either climate or quantity requirements. So when we need to supplement our growing efforts, we purchase only the finest product from quality, growers that we trust! All of our Single Herb Tinctures are made right here at our own facility with a single plant.

Our plants are grown, weeded, harvested and processed by caring herbalists filled with healing intent, not by machines. HomeGrown plant harvesting is timed for maximum potency...not the day the combine is scheduled. - Only the most medicinal portions of the HomeGrown plants are utilized for medicine making. - No pesticides, herbicides or artificial fertilizers of any kind are used in our herb gardens. HomeGrown wildcrafted herbs are ethically collected and identified by experienced herbalists, not minimum-wage, apathetic employees.

Yeah, we might be crazy to go to all the trouble when we could import material from Bulgaria for a tenth of the price, but we have experienced the difference in the quality of the end product. We are confident that when you use our HomeGrown herbals, you WILL see what all the fuss was about!
