In Russia, the use of its impressive properties remains the work of folk healers and healers. Mostly the winterhub is used in the Altai Territory and Siberian regions, where the plant is very common.
Collection, preparation and storage of medicinal raw materials
The Wintergrower is harvested in the summer months when it blooms. During this period, the concentration of substances in the plant is most suitable for creating drugs. It is recommended to pay attention to the weather forecast: if there will be precipitation in the near future, then drying the grass will be problematic.
The green part of the icefish is cut with a sharp knife, immediately cutting off and discarding leaves with darkening, signs of rot and disease. Dried shoots in partial shade or complete shade, preferably in the fresh air. In order for the plants to dry uniformly, they are periodically turned over. The best option would be to collect the winterhubs in brooms suspended with a cut up.
When the grass has completely dried, it remains to pack it in bags of paper or fabric: the blank must "breathe" fresh air, otherwise the appearance of mold will not take long. Store dried winterjaw in a dark and ventilated place where there is no moisture. Shelf life when creating favorable conditions is 2 years from the date of collection.
Contraindications and Precautions
Although natural remedies are much safer than chemical ones, you need to remember that they also have contraindications. So, it is not recommended to use a winter-lover when:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- allergies to the plant;
- tendency to constipation;
- individual intolerance to the substances that make up the winterhub.
To check the body's reaction to taking a new drug, for the first dose you need to take a small dosage. If a person has skin diseases, it is recommended to moisten a patch of skin with infusion or decoction first. If redness or itching occurs, taking a medication with a winter hemorrhoid is strictly contraindicated.
And of course, two golden rules of traditional medicine: no matter how good the natural remedies are, far from always they can fully replace traditional therapy, although they become an excellent tool. But you can use them only after the approval of the attending physician!
