Purple wild flowers titles. Meadow flowers. Types of perennial flowers and herbs
The celandine got its name for its ability to effectively treat various skin diseases. This is also evidenced by its popular names - warthog, warthog, cleaner. The scientific name of the plant is "large celandine" (Chelidonium Major). Finding a celandine is not difficult. it perennial with a high (50–100 cm) branched stem, covered with short hairs, medium-sized petiolate leaves and golden yellow small flowers collected in umbellate inflorescences. When the stem is broken, dark yellow or orange-red juice is released.
The high healing properties of celandine are due to the fact that it contains a significant amount of alkaloids, vitamins, organic acids, flavonoids, carotene, saponins, bitterness, essential oil, resinous substances. Preparations from celandine have a pronounced anti-inflammatory, wound healing, antimicrobial, antipruritic, cauterizing, local anesthetic, analgesic, choleretic, antispasmodic, hypotensive effects.
Do not forget that the celandine plant poisonous. When used externally, it is difficult to get poisoned, but with excessive ingestion, intestinal dysbacteriosis is possible, and in the worst case, poisoning, expressed in nausea, intense thirst, convulsions, lowering blood pressure, slowing the pulse, and even fainting. In this case, it is necessary to immediately wash the stomach, after which drink plenty of water and Activated carbon. As a rule, after this, the symptoms of poisoning disappear quickly and without consequences.
Traditionally, celandine juice was used to treat diseases. Pure juice treats various irritations and skin diseases, burns, including sunburns, wounds, abscesses, boils, herpes, scabies, cracks on the hands and heels, removes freckles, warts, papillomas, dry calluses. You can also use crushed fresh leaves for this.
In many cases, the juice is used diluted in various proportions. Such solutions treat polyps, adenoids, tonsils, inflammation of the gums. For the same purposes, you can use infusions and decoctions of celandine. It's not hard to cook them. There are many different recipes, one of the simplest is a tablespoon of dried herb or two fresh herbs in a glass of water. If you pour boiling water and leave for 1.5-2 hours, you get an infusion, and when you boil for 10-15 minutes over low heat or in a water bath, you get a decoction. They are used for rinsing, compresses and lotions.
Celandine ointment is used to treat skin diseases. It is not difficult to prepare it. Dried grass powder in a 1:1 ratio is mixed with heated badger fat, melted lard or oil, vaseline. This ointment is well stored in the refrigerator and is always ready for use.
Diluted juice, decoctions and infusions of celandine are taken orally to treat many serious diseases. I will not give recipes, if desired, they can be found in reference books or on the Internet. Please note that juice is usually taken no more than 5-7 drops, and infusions and decoctions, depending on the consistency, up to three tablespoons. On the Internet, you can find recommendations to use pure celandine juice in tablespoons for certain diseases. I would not advise you to conduct such experiments on yourself.
For the treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, bladder, liver and kidneys, celandine has been used since ancient times, moreover, in many countries. Previously, in Russian villages, celandine was used to treat hemorrhoids (hemorrhoids) and polyps in the large intestine. Diluted juice or infusion was taken orally, enemas were made, external nodes were smeared with juice.
Modern medicine confirms that the substances contained in celandine slow down the development of cancer cells. Naturally, advanced cancer cannot be cured with celandine, but in the initial stages or after surgery, to prevent the development of metastases, it may well be used along with medications, moreover, it acts as a mild pain reliever. More effective celandine in the treatment of skin cancer.
Most often, for medicinal purposes, the juice obtained from the stems and leaves of celandine is used. It is believed that it is better to harvest fresh juice in May-July, when the plant has the most useful substances. To do this, the stems of plants are cut at least 10 cm from the ground, crushed with a meat grinder or other device, squeezed and, having added 250 ml of alcohol or 500 ml of vodka per liter of juice, stored in a dark, cool place. Previously, in the villages, fresh celandine juice was stored in tightly closed containers in glacier cellars at a temperature of about 0 degrees. But beforehand, the juice was allowed to ferment for 5-7 days at room temperature.
In addition, celandine can be dried (it is better to use leaves and flowers for this), in order to be used as necessary for the preparation of infusions, tinctures, decoctions or ointments. AT recent times dried grass and preparations from celandine appeared in pharmacies. On the Internet I met recommendations for the preparation of preparations from celandine seeds. They raise doubts in me, because by autumn beneficial features plants are shrinking.
Preparation of medicinal preparations
Decoction
The broth is prepared as follows: the raw material is placed in an enamel bowl, poured cold water, over low heat, bring to a boil and keep on fire for a while. The duration of this, as well as the proportions of water and raw materials, depend on the specific case.
The broth should be filtered, squeezing the grass well.
A decoction of celandine grass has a bactericidal, sedative, choleretic, diuretic, antispasmodic, anesthetic effect. It can be used for peptic ulcer and cholelithiasis, spasms of the pylorus of the duodenum, digestive tract and gallbladder, for nephro-intestinal colic, for diseases of the bladder.
Juice is one of the most effective means obtained from celandine, because all the power of the miraculous plant is concentrated in it. During the flowering period of celandine, collect leaves and stems (you can also roots) and pass them through a meat grinder. Place in a glass container and refrigerate for several days (this is necessary for the celandine to release the juice). Usually three days is enough. Then squeeze the herb through cheesecloth. From a bucket of grass, 1 - 1.5 liters of juice is obtained.
Some time after making the juice, it begins to ferment, so do not forget to let the air out of the container. After 2 - 3 weeks, fermentation will end.
The juice prepared in this way can be stored for several years in the refrigerator.
Celandine oil
Celandine oil is a drug that is used mainly for external use.
Take a dry herb, grind it, place it in glassware and fill with oil (so that the oil level is 2 to 3 cm higher than the grass level). It is advisable to use peach or apricot oil, but ordinary vegetable oil is also suitable. That's just vegetable oil before use, it is necessary to heat up in a water bath for 1 - 2 hours.
Place the herb oil in a warm place for 30 to 60 minutes, and then transfer to a cool, dark place and soak for a week. Do not forget to shake the drug periodically. After 7 days, when it is ready, strain it through cheesecloth, add pure oil (1:1 ratio) and store it in a dark glass container.
Infusion of celandine
Preparation of infusion of celandine. Celandine is used in the form of an infusion because of its bactericidal action and the ability to retard the growth of certain fungi and even malignant tumors. This is primarily due to the fact that celandine contains a large amount of alkaloids.
The infusion can be water and alcohol.
An aqueous infusion of celandine is best prepared as follows: take the amount of herb prescribed by the recipe, pour boiling water over it and heat it in a steam bath for 15 minutes. Then cool well, strain. Before straining, it would be nice to let the remedy brew. It is quite possible to refuse a steam bath, simple boiling water is enough. But in this case it is desirable to increase the infusion time. It is good to insist celandine in a thermos.
An infusion of celandine can also be prepared with vodka. To do this, take the grass (fresh or dried), fill it with half a half-liter bottle or jar and fill it with vodka. Let it brew for two weeks. After that, the resulting tincture must be diluted at the rate of 150 ml of tincture per 350 ml of pure vodka. Take three times a day before meals. Remember that the tincture is very strong, and therefore if you need to take it orally, start with the smallest dose (5 - 10 drops), gradually increasing it every week by 10 drops.
The difference between water infusion and alcohol is that water is much weaker. main reason consists in the fact that water dissolves only alkaloid salts, which are found in abundance in celandine, and alcohol dissolves the alkaloids themselves. Therefore, the alcohol solution will be much stronger and more effective.
However, the water infusion has one - and extremely important - advantage: it is less dangerous than the alcohol infusion. So in the vast majority of cases, in order to avoid poisoning, the use of an aqueous infusion should be unambiguously recommended. And the use of alcohol infusion of celandine is justified only in cases where the possible harm is less than the benefits it can bring. Even with cancer, when a person is ready to use any means and, due to the criticality of the situation, it would seem that God himself ordered the use of alcohol infusion, it would be useful to think about the general exhaustion of the body, for which any “hit” is dangerous.
Ointment with celandine
Ointment with celandine is prepared on petroleum jelly, lanolin, pork or lamb fat. You can also use an ordinary baby cream as a base. To obtain an ointment, it is better to use either celandine juice or dried grass, which is pre-ground very well (it is advisable to use a coffee grinder). The proportions in which the components are mixed depend on the specific case, the specific disease. However, the usual ratios are 1 part chopped herb and 2 parts base mass. Fresh juice is mixed with the base in a ratio of 1:4.
To prevent the ointment from molding, carbolic acid (0.25%) is added to it.
Meadow flowers are a separate multifaceted world.
He is beautiful and incomprehensible. It is hard to believe that such beauty is created by itself - designers do not work on it, selecting varieties according to flowers and location, but always, when we find ourselves in a field with meadow flowers, we cannot stop looking and breathe. After all, there are no flaws in the design.
Many flower growers and gardeners strive to get a piece of pristine natural beauty to their site - they dig up bushes with roots or buy seeds. Moreover, meadow flowers are not only an aesthetic pleasure - each plant has a healing effect and is used in traditional medicine.

Meadow flowers are not afraid of weeds, because they are used to living in close community with a hundred neighbors in the meadow.

Wildflowers
In early July, it is good to go on a summer hike in the hills along the banks of the river and take a photo of the wildflowers
The Dubna River in these parts has incredibly beautiful hilly banks.
On the river surface, yellow capsules doze.
On the left bank of the Dubna River, a spruce forest is like an enchanted castle.
We must somehow cross over to the opposite bank of the Dubna River.
Here's a great place. A strong current and stones protruding from the water indicate the place of the ford.
We put the belongings in a hermetic bag.
We put on neoprene socks so as not to injure our feet on the stones, and wander down the Dubna River, looking for a flat place on the opposite bank.
We get out on the beach. A 2-meter wall is an evil stinging nettle.
There is nowhere to go. I'm going straight.

And when they got out into the open, how good! The river Dubna writes out bends.
