Safety Notes
Generally very well tolerated. The fine hairs inside the hip (used historically as itching powder) are typically removed in commercial dried product, but home-processed rosehips should be strained well through a fine cloth to avoid throat irritation. Those prone to kidney stones may want to moderate intake given the oxalate content.
