Rosehip during pregnancy: how to drink from edema, vitamin deficiency and drowsiness

Plants in action are comparable to medicines, which means they have indications and contraindications. Rosehip is no exception: drinking extracts from the fruit is permissible only with the permission of the attending physician. This will help to avoid undesirable phenomena both on the part of the mother and the fetus.

The use of rose hips during the period of bearing a baby

Fruits are rich in biologically active substances that are important for supporting human health. Among them:

• flavonoids;
• organic acids;
• tannins;
• fatty acid;
• pectins;
• anthocyanins;
• coumarins;
• phenolic substances.

They have a range of significant effects on the body:

• strengthens blood vessels;
• remove toxins;
• increase secretion of glands;
• eliminate inflammatory processes;
• stimulate the immune system;
• regulate pressure;
• increase the formation of bile and urine;
• support hormonal levels;
• regulate metabolism.

Rosehip is also rich in nutrients. Berries contain:

• vitamin C;
• carotenoids;
• routine;
• vitamin K;
• B vitamins;
• magnesium;
• manganese;
• iron;
• calcium;
• zinc.

Vitamins and minerals are necessary for the proper course of all biochemical processes in the body. During pregnancy, their sufficient supply from the outside is especially important.

Usually doctors prescribe rosehip preparations to expectant mothers to eliminate edema. The plant acts as a mild diuretic, improves the formation of urine, and also facilitates its excretion, normalizes blood circulation. The tool is recommended if there are no pathologies from the urinary system, and edema is the result of an increase in blood volume, pressure of the growing fetus on the ureters and other physiological changes.

But the plant is effective not only from edema.

• Strengthens the immune system. It has a general strengthening effect, increases the nonspecific resistance of the body. Rosehip in the early stages of pregnancy helps to compensate for the depressed state of immunity, which developed under the influence of hormonal changes. In the case of a mild ailment, the expectant mother promotes the early production of antibodies, lowers the temperature, and helps eliminate the symptoms of intoxication.
• Tones up. When carrying women often experience weakness, drowsiness, quickly get tired. Phyto-raw material acts as a source of vitamins and easily digestible sugars, has a tonic effect, stimulates energy production, gives strength, normalizes the nervous system.
• Prevents cosmetic problems. Expectant mothers often suffer from various cosmetic problems - skin oiliness increases, rashes, peeling appear. This is a consequence of vitamin deficiency. The fruits of the wild rose help make up for the lack of nutrients and restore a healthy appearance. For external use, the product helps to combat age spots.
• Establishes digestion. Due to the increase in progesterone levels, women in the position are prone to digestive disorders - weak peristalsis of smooth muscles, lack of digestive enzymes, heaviness in the abdomen, bloating. Phyto-raw materials stimulate the work of the glands, the formation of bile, establish the process of digestion of food and normalize intestinal motility.

The plant prevents the development of periodontal disease, stomatitis, varicose veins, capillary weakness and nosebleeds. In addition, it acts as a natural stimulator of regeneration processes and accelerates the healing of lesions on the skin and mucous membranes.

And also if you use them too long, neglecting contraindications and exceeding the recommended dosages. If you follow the doctor’s instructions, the rose is usually well tolerated even by the woman’s sensitive body in position.
