Rosehip oil in gynecology application

Rosehip oil, whose properties and uses are unique like berries, deserves special attention. The study of the medicinal properties of this product began at the end of the 19th century, and even then significant results were obtained. With the development of technology, new ways to preserve youth have appeared, but the old proven remedy does not lose its popularity. In fact, a natural extract from the seeds of a medicinal plant has a minimum of side effects, and the result can be compared with salon facial and body care. Is it really time to pay attention to this interesting tool or should someone just pass by?

Dog-rose fruit

Short story

Rosehip has grown for thousands of years in various countries of the world, and people have known its miraculous properties since ancient times. The seeds of the fruit, rich in vitamin C, also contain vegetable oil that can uniquely restore the skin. History knows exactly when exactly people learned to isolate it, but the first scientific studies were carried out at the end of the 19th century.

Through clinical trials, scientists have obtained evidence that the product effectively fights wrinkles, pigmentation and other skin problems. Since then, interest in such a valuable product has not waned.

What it is

Rosehip oil is a product of cold pressing of seeds located inside the fruit of the plant, less often - extraction with organic solvents or alkalis. The most useful is considered to be pressed, since the use of solvents does not have the best effect on the composition.

Base oil is not cheap, since the rose hips used to obtain it are not the same as those that grow everywhere in our country. For cold pressing, seeds of bushes that grow in South America and Europe, the southern regions of our country, are used.

Under the general name “rosehip oil” there are three possible extracts:

• mosquito roses, in Latin “ Rosa mosqueta ”, grows in Europe, Asia Minor, CIS countries, Crimea, Saratov and other cities of Russia, also called “rusty or brown rose hips”;
• rusty rose, name in Latin “ Rosa rubiginosa ”, growing area similar to rose moschete;
• Canina rose, canine rose, or canine rose, in Latin “ Rosa canina ”, grows in Europe, the northern part of the African continent, in Asian countries and states located in South America.

Regardless of the type of raw material, seed extracts are very similar in composition and, accordingly, properties.

According to its intended purpose, rosehip oil is divided into:

• cosmetic – intended for external use, may contain undesirable impurities, prohibited for internal use;
• food grade – the highest quality, suitable for external purposes and internal use, universal;
• pharmacopoeial - meets the requirements of the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation, possible methods of use are determined by the degree of purity, so you should focus on the manufacturer’s instructions.

Description:

• consistency – light, fluid;
• quickly absorbed into the skin;
• transparent, without sediment and possible turbidity;
• smell – characteristic of the plant, faintly perceptible;
• taste – specific, with sour and bitter notes, weakly expressed;
• shade - from golden to reddish tones, and even brown, saturation is determined by the type of raw material and the method of obtaining fat.

Such characteristic features indicate the richness of the unsaponifiable fraction in biologically active substances. The extract is often falsified, for which synthetic additives are used.

Composition of rosehip oil

We already wrote above that the composition of the oil, regardless of the type of raw material used (three types of rose hips), is almost identical, but, nevertheless, differs significantly from other bases. It is easily absorbed, relieves inflammation, and all thanks to a special combination of components. For this reason, this section of the article deserves no less attention than the rest.

The composition of the unsaponifiable fraction includes:

• carotenoids – restore tissue integrity;
• lycopene – antioxidant;
• trans-retinoic acid – relieves skin inflammation, is effective in combating hair loss, restores the structure of the hair shafts;
• ascorbic acid, vitamin C, an antioxidant, stimulates collagen synthesis, thereby maintaining youth and lightening pigmentation.

The fatty acid composition is given in the table:

*General information is provided to understand the difference between oils. Exact data must be found on the product label.

The unsaponifiable fraction contains a small amount of vitamin E, a natural preservative, which indicates a short shelf life. To ensure that the composition retains its properties longer, manufacturers additionally introduce tocopherol in a concentration of no more than 0.5%.

Saturated fatty acids have an immunostimulating effect. Their low content indicates a low solidification temperature and liquid consistency at room conditions. Oleic acid retains moisture in the skin and hair and ensures rapid absorption.

Omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 together slow down aging. Unsaturated fatty acids relieve inflammation and strengthen the walls of blood vessels.

For facial care, cosmetologists select a combination of fatty acids, taking into account the skin type. In general, oleic should be 1.5 times less than linoleic, linolenic - 10 times less than linoleic. No oil meets this requirement, but this one is suitable for dermis that is too dry, sensitive, problematic or prone to age-related changes. Without these problems, use in its pure form may not only fail to produce results, but also lead to clogged pores.

Properties of rosehip oil

Use of rosehip oil for treatment

The use of herbal medicines, even with the best characteristics, cannot serve as the main way to combat diseases. It is necessary to take medications prescribed by a doctor. However, infusions, decoctions, and extracts of natural raw materials are recognized as excellent auxiliary, strengthening, and supporting agents.

ENT pathologies

It is easy to get rid of a runny nose or rhinitis if rosehip oil (preferably diluted) is dripped into the nose. Another option is to soak cotton pads in it, place it in the nostrils for 3-5 minutes and lie down for this time. The second option is preferable.

Another indication is dermatitis. Treatment is comprehensive. Sore spots need to be covered with applications - “paint” the skin twice or thrice a day for half an hour, drawing lines with a cotton swab.

For eczema, 10 ml of fruit pomace is added to 5 drops of lavender, a napkin is moistened in the mixture and applied to the affected areas.

For gum health
