Rose hip- anyone using for inflammation?

Thank you Petra. Yes, I looked into my diet some years ago as have always suffered from inflammation. Porridge with berries and seeds, tuna in olive oil and salad or veg soup for lunch and salmon, yellow fish, chicken, beef or lamb with veg for evening meal and nuts and live yoghurt. That’s pretty much my staple diet. Obviously, I’m not altogether saintly and will have the odd bit of cake, will make a fruit crumble (no added sugar) and have chocolate once a week. I’m slim and always have been and I exercise quite a lot with swimming, walking, exercise bike and Pilates/yoga type stretches. With regard to stress well, like a lot of us, I’ve had plenty of that. Sexual abuse as a child, loss of my mother at age ten, a cruel stepmother, and, in later years, divorce and a very rare cancer which nearly killed me! Plenty of other stress throughout my life not worth mentioning but none now. A cure for inflammation would be very welcome indeed as I’m sure many others would agree.

Have you looked at your diet? Cut down on inflammatory foods and increase anti-inflammatory foods. It's worth a try.
Stress can exacerbate inflammation.

It did nothing for me.

Thank you for your helpful replies. Isn’t it strange how we’re all so different.

Yes my DH swears by it for his arthritic knee. If he stops taking it he notices within a day or so .

I did the rosehip trial advertise on Gransnet and I m sorry to say it made no effect whatsoever I think if I remember rightly it was a three month trial and I also don’t think many people got any help from it
Hope that helps your query

I tried it for me knee but to no avail.

I’ve never heard of that but Aloe Vera juice is good for inflammation.

There was a trial of rosehip here on GN some time ago.
Some members were chosen to take it and report back as to its efficacy.
I don’t think it was particularly successful but can’t really remember.
Perhaps someone who took part will come along and report.
