Rose hip (rosa rugosa) oil is popular for its skin benefits. It is known to solve complexion, ageing, and blemish problems because each application activates the effects of antioxidants, beta carotene, and vitamin C. You may have even encountered an ad or an actual product that touts the effectiveness of rose hip oil in particular. It can also be used to treat scars and burns due to its ability to repair and even regenerate damaged tissue, thanks for its oil being made up of 77% fatty acids. This all sounds very appropriate, given that the rose plant from which this fruit has been plucked out of has been constantly associated with beauty.
Can rose hip treat anal fissures?
Rose hip, however, is more than just oil that preserves or reconstructs beauty. It can also be ingested in the form of tea. The tea is known to work as an herbal medication for various ailments that include constipation, bladder infections, arthritis and many more.
So, to use rose hip (Rosa Rugosa) to treat anal fissure, you can make use of both the topical oil and the tea. With this combo, you should be able to address two points of the problem that is usually referred to as the dreaded fissure: symptoms that could worsen the fissure and the speedy calming and recovery of the skin itself.
First, ingesting rose hip (Rosa Rugosa) to treat anal fissure can focus on preventing problems with digestion, such as constipation and diarrhea. With the production of stools that are soft enough to be released without pain, but not too soft to make the patient keep on going back to the bathroom, rose hip helps in the alleviation and speedy recovery of anal tears. There won’t be constant rubbing and straining at the area near the anal sphincter where the tear can be found. Drinking the tea should not be much of a problem because of tangy flavor. The pinkish color makes the drink even more attractive. You will need five rose hips per one cup of tea if you are preparing the brew naturally. Immerse in water for about ten minutes to fully extract the medicinal qualities from the fruit.
Second, rose hip can be applied on the skin’s surface in various forms: a topical ointment, an astringent, or oil. The fatty acids contained in the rose hop allows it to preserve healthy cells, all the while keeping the skin in the best health. Skin becomes supple and moist because of having been softened and moisturized by the rose hip. In the case of anal fissures, however, rose hip oil or ointments go further by supplying agents that regenerate healthier tissues. This means to say that the torn area can heal more quickly, without having to leave scars on the skin.
How do you quicken your recovery?
To make recovery faster, make sure that you use both topical and ingested techniques. Drink rose hip tea. Natural is better, but there are some almost-as-good-as-natural tea in bags that you can buy. Apply the oil on the affected area for faster healing, without the scars.
