There has been a lot of research into Rose hip and the benefits it provides in relieving the pain of arthritis, particularly osteoarthritis. More recent clinical trials have found a very strong link between rosehip and improvements in sufferers of rheumatoid arthritis pain. Rosehip delivers more benefit than just as a pain reliever and so it is worthwhile adding it to the regular diet of someone suffering from arthritis.

Ingredients

1 quart rosehip juice or puree
2 to 4 tablespoons of honey
1 to 3 tablespoons of lemon juice or home-made cider vinegar
1 tablespoon of potato starch, cornstarch, or tapioca granules
6 tablespoons of sour cream or yoghurt, optional

Method

Heat the rosehips juice or purée, honey, and lemon juice or vinegar. Adjust the amounts of honey and lemon juice or vinegar to give a lively sweet tart flavor.

Mix the starch or tapioca in enough cold water to moisten it and stir it in. Cook till the soup thickens slightly and clears. Then float a spoon of sour cream or yoghurts in each bowl of soup when served.
