On the other hand, silica may contribute to the beauty of their feather coats. Our little friends must owe their peace and contentedness, in spite of their lively acrobatics, to the vitamin Ñ in rose hips, since this vitamin has a calming effect on the nerves.

Now you know why rose hip products are also valuable for us humans. Nature always shows us the way, while science can only try to give us an explanation of the reasons.

Rose hips are one of the best sources of vitamin C. Rose hip pulp is not only a tasty, slightly tart conserve but a medicine, a nerve food, conforming to the old principle, ‘Let food be your medicine and medicine your food.’ It is important, however, to remember that rose hips should not be boiled as heat destroys much of their remedial properties. Eat a slice of bread thickly spread with raw pulp every day and you will be taking your daily requirement of vitamin C. If a conserve is made from the pulp and sweetened with grape sugar or other fruit sugars as described below, you will have the added advantage of getting the best kinds of sugar, ones that are easy to assimilate, and you will be providing yourself with food of a high calorific value.
