Useful properties of herbs

Nature pleas­es with fresh herbs, and it’s time to remem­ber the ben­e­fi­cial prop­er­ties of herbs!

Herbal med­i­cine is a great way to help your­self with min­i­mal harm. After all, phy­tother­a­py “treats” our body more gen­tly than med­i­cines, and does not bring such a bunch of side effects. Herbs work well with each oth­er and with med­i­cines. In col­lec­tions, they often rein­force each oth­er’s action and are suit­able as an aid. Know­ing which herbs are use­ful for var­i­ous ail­ments, you can use them effec­tive­ly to main­tain good health. Whether it is herbal col­lec­tion, tinc­ture, phy­to­bath, home­o­path­ic prepa­ra­tion or dietary sup­ple­ment.

Snyt and its ben­e­fi­cial prop­er­ties

Pho­to: Bur­da Media

There are so many use­ful prop­er­ties of this herb that you can’t tell by its mod­est appear­ance. And it is not for noth­ing that its Latin name lit­er­al­ly sounds like “pain in the legs”: it is use­ful for gout, rheuma­tism, and var­i­ous dis­eases of the joints. In addi­tion to joint ail­ments, gout tinc­ture helps to get rid of dis­eases of the uri­nary organs. The tinc­ture is pre­pared as fol­lows: 2 table­spoons of herbs in 1 cup of boil­ing water, hold for 15 min­utes in a water bath. Strain and squeeze, dilute with a glass of water. With rheuma­tism, gru­el from grass applied to a sore spot helps. And gout is added to var­i­ous dish­es: it helps to reg­u­late meta­bol­ic process­es in the body and strength­en the immune sys­tem.
This herb has no con­traindi­ca­tions, it is not rec­om­mend­ed only dur­ing preg­nan­cy.

Use­ful prop­er­ties of dan­de­lion

Pho­to: Bur­da Media

Dan­de­lion hon­ey helps in the treat­ment of sore throats. After clean­ing the flow­ers and sep­a­rat­ing them from the green recep­ta­cle, rinse them and put them in a jar in lay­ers, sprin­kling them well with sug­ar. Close the jar tight­ly, leave it for a cou­ple of weeks in a warm place, and strain and squeeze the juice before using.
A tinc­ture of these flow­ers is good for joint pain. Col­lect 50 unblown dan­de­lion buds, put in a half-liter jar, and fill it with vod­ka to the top. Keep it up for a month.
Dan­de­lion has prac­ti­cal­ly no con­traindi­ca­tions, except for pep­tic ulcer and gas­tri­tis.

Use­ful prop­er­ties of chamomile

Pho­to: Bur­da Media

Chamomile essen­tial oil is great for colds in the form of inhala­tion. A water infu­sion of inflo­res­cences is used for many ail­ments: it soothes and relieves pain. With col­ic and bloat­ing, a decoc­tion of chamomile flower bas­kets is rec­om­mend­ed (4 table­spoons per 200 ml of water). Take it 3 times a day after meals.
Chamomile is shown to almost every­one, even small chil­dren. It is not rec­om­mend­ed except for increased acid­i­ty of the stom­ach, a ten­den­cy to diar­rhea and headaches.

Woodruff and its ben­e­fi­cial prop­er­ties

Pho­to: Bur­da Media

Check with your doc­tor before using this herb. Woodruff can cause an aller­gic reac­tion, do not use it dur­ing preg­nan­cy.

Use­ful prop­er­ties of net­tle

Pho­to: Bur­da Media

When you soar in a bath with a net­tle broom, you get a pleas­ant tin­gling sen­sa­tion, and your skin becomes rud­dy and sup­ple. Formic acid, which is con­tained in this herb, improves blood cir­cu­la­tion, strength­ens and tones.
To improve heart func­tion, 1 table­spoon of sting­ing net­tle pour 200 ml of water, boil for 5 min­utes. Take 100 ml sev­er­al times a day with a spoon­ful of hon­ey.
Net­tle is con­traindi­cat­ed for preg­nant women, as well as for throm­bophlebitis and vari­cose veins.

Edi­tor’s advice. Col­lect herbs in a clean place away from roads. Many use­ful herbs can be plant­ed in your gar­den and even at home in pots on the win­dowsill (for exam­ple, chamomile, rose­mary, tan­sy, mint, lemon balm).
