Comment:
1. The Chinese and Western use of Rose hip can be considered synonymous. As can be seen from the above illustrations the appearance of both varieties is very similar, as is their pharmacology.
2. Chinese commentaries noted that Rose hip only astringes, but does not tonify. Therefore, in the treatment of deficiency, it must be combined with Tonics. The Western use of the Conserve of Rose hip possesses mild tonic properties.
3. Rich in Vitamin C, the dried pulp containing up to 8%.
