There are many references in medieval herbals to the restorative power of rose preparations. The esteemed 17th century herbalist Nicholas Culpepper prescribed rosehips for ‘consumptive purposes’ for ‘tickling rheums’ ‘to break the stone’ (kidneys) and for digestive problems. Several modern studies have investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of rosehip extracts, particularly on the symptoms of arthritis. The results show that rosehip not only reduces overall pain levels but can also increase the range of joint movement.
Rosehips play an important role in neutralising free radicals and therefore it is a wonderful herbal treatment for keeping your horse healthy and in peak condition. Research has established Rosehips as the highest source of flavonoids and biotin which is great for strengthening horses’ hooves as well.
