Zusammenfassung
Hagebutten entstehen aus den Blüten der Wildrose (Rosa canina) und sind ein verbreitetes Haus- und
Naturmittel. Grundlagenstudien zeigen, dass Hagebuttenextrakte die
Lipid-Oxidation in vitro hemmen und die Chemotaxis und Chemolumineszenz von
Leukozyten reduzieren.
In klinischen Studien wurde gezeigt, dass der Serumspiegel von
C-reaktivem Protein (CRP) und Creatinin bei gesunden Probanden und Patienten
mit Osteoarthritis, die das Hagebuttenpulver einnahmen, gesenkt wurde. Zudem
wurden physische Symptome von den Patienten mit Osteoarthritis gemildert. In
einer kontrollierten randomisierten Studie bei Patienten mit Arthritis sank in
der Gruppe, die das Hagebuttenpulver einnahm, nicht nur das Schmerzempfinden;
auch die Flexion der Hüfte konnte deutlich verbessert werden.
Die antiinflammatorischen Eigenschaften machen die Hagebutte zu
einem geeigneten Naturmittel bei der Behandlung von Arthritis. Welche
Wirkstoffe im Einzelnen an diesem Prozess beteiligt sind, bleibt noch zu
klären. Hinweise sprechen darauf, dass neben dem hohen Vitamingehalt
Flavonoide wirksam sein könnten.
Importance of Complementary Medicine Exemplified by the Use of
Rose-hip
Rose-hips develop from blossoms of the wild rose (rosa canina) and are a popular natural remedy. Laboratory
experiments have shown that rose-hip extract inhibits lipid oxidation in vitro
and reduces the chemotaxis and chemoluminescence of leucocytes.
In clinical studies serum CRP- und creatinin levels declined in
healthy subjects and patients with osteoarthritis under rose-hip treatment.
Additionally patients suffering from osteoarthritis reported that physical
symptoms declined. Data from a randomised controlled trial indicate not only
that pain significantly declined but also flexion of the hip improved in the
active treatment group.
The anti-inflammatory properties of rose-hip are useful as a natural
treatment in patients with osteoarthritis. It remains to be proven which of the
components are responsible for these effects. There is some evidence that in
addition to the high vitamin content flavonoids may be actively involved.
