Rosehip during pregnancy and its benefits

Rosehip and its beneficial properties

Growing rose hips in a summer cottage will not hurt anyone. After all, its fruits contain a huge amount of vitamin C, which not only protects the body from infectious diseases during epidemics, but also increases the elasticity of blood vessels, stimulates the functioning of the endocrine glands, and reduces the amount of cholesterol.

After taking rosehip decoction, rinse your mouth with warm water, because ascorbic acid negatively affects the condition of your teeth enamel.
