Rose hips has been found to have a mild laxative and diuretic effect.  This is thought to be due to the presence of malic and citric acids or the purgative glycosides.  Rose hips fruit has also been used for stress-related problems, female complications such as PMS, skin irritations, and heart and circulation health, as well as a cancer treatment.
