(aka: Rose Hips) Jupiter – Psychic powers, Love, Protection, Healing, Divination, Luck

Rose Hips are the fruit of the rose plant. Many myths have long held that these small fruits are poisonous, but modern study has since disproved this misconception. Indeed, despite this folk belief, Rose Hips have also long been used in the creation of herbal teas, jams, jellies, and marmalade, and have long been used to flavor wines, as well as a soup, which is quite popular in Sweden. In the mid ages, Rose Hips were utilized to make a variety of mead.

While these culinary practices were popular in Europe, the Native Americans often applied Rose Hips to medicine, using them to treat colds and flu. During World War II they were used in England to make Vitamin C syrup for children, as the more commonly used fruits and vegetables were hard to come by due to German blockades. In some folklore, the fruits of the rose plant were said to be quite useful in calling good spirits and bringing good luck.

Today, Rose Hips are perhaps most commonly found in home fragrance and potpourri. Herbalists frequently prescribe Rose Hips for their high concentration of Vitamin C, and it is common for them to be used in the treatment of colds, flu, and similar symptoms. Some have applied a Rose Hips tonic as a laxative, or even as a topical treatment for acne.
