Delicate flower for the benefit of man

Every time the earth puts on its green outfit, few people think about its value to the body. It does not even occur to many that ready-made "drugs" that can affect the immune system can grow under their feet. However, smart people have long enjoyed the generous gifts of the land. One of them is the medicinal hellebore, which is found in its natural environment on the slopes and deep gorges of the Caucasus Mountains. It can be found on forest edges in the Krasnodar Territory.

It is an evergreen perennial and grows to about 50 cm in height. In the underground part of the plant there is a horizontal rhizome, consisting of many cord-like roots. They are painted dark brown.

Hellebore shoots are usually erect. Only the upper part branches out in different directions. The leaf plates are in the rhizome area. The maximum width is approximately 9 cm. It resembles an ellipse in shape, but the edges are dissected. The leaves are painted dark green.

During flowering, buds appear at the top of the shoots, consisting of 5 delicate petals. This happens already at the beginning of March and continues until the end of June.

Their color comes in various shades:

pink;
light yellow;
purple;
purple;
inky.

In addition, there are also two-tone options. The shape of the buds of a cultivated hellebore can be simple or double. Despite the delicate petals, hellebore is resistant to spring frosts and summer droughts.

Since the plant belongs to the Buttercup family, it is extremely poisonous when alive.

As you can see, the hellebore plant and its medicinal properties stand out against the background of other cultures used in folk medicine. Let's take a closer look at how it acts on the body during treatment.

Most often, a rhizome, which is rich in glycosides, is used for the preparation of a medicinal drug. It is desirable to use it to stimulate blood circulation.

We cleanse the body of toxins

The rational use of hellebore has a powerful effect on cleansing:

liver;
kidney;
intestines.

By taking the drug for 6 months, many have significantly improved their physical condition. After all, the renewed intestine begins to work with renewed vigor. Over time, blood circulation improves, and even cell renewal occurs. It is interesting that when cleansing the body, the special healing properties of the hellebore are used: a laxative effect and the removal of excess fluid. Thanks to this, slags, heavy metals and toxins come out.

Often, after a course of cleansing with the help of a hellebore, chronic diseases are exacerbated. Therefore, any herbal treatment should be discussed with your doctor.

However, it should be remembered: all people are different and what helps one is harmful to another. But taking a closer look at what hellebore heals will help you navigate when making an important decision.

Respiratory organs and heart

Most often, during the cold season, many have to deal with respiratory diseases. Sometimes they give complications to the body, resulting in bronchitis, asthma and even pneumonia. Proper use of hellebore during illness will help remove phlegm and speed up the healing process. However, it is wiser to prepare a tincture for general strengthening of the body. Those who regularly take the drug are much easier to tolerate the season of illness. In about 6 months, the valuable elements of the plant will affect the immune system, and it will be ready to meet any "enemy".

The tincture is prepared quite simply:

using a knife, chop the hellebore root;
take 10 g of the resulting raw material;
pour boiling water (2 glasses);
insist for about 8 hours;
the liquid is filtered;
the roots are squeezed out.

They take the "medicine" according to the scheme. The first 10 days, 1 teaspoon once a day. After that, the single dose is doubled. In the next decade, the drug is drunk already in 3 teaspoons per 1 dose. The remaining 6 months are recommended to take 4 tsp. Then take a break for 31 days and repeat the course first, increasing the dose at intervals of 5 days.

Admirers of herbal medicine argue that if the drug is used in accordance with the recommendations of the attending physician, it is possible to lower blood pressure. The hellebore also has a special effect on the heart, which constantly needs support. It facilitates its work by eliminating stagnant elements from the blood vessels. Thanks to this, the body receives a sufficient amount of blood without interruption.

If, after taking the tincture, dizziness, nausea and heart rate increase, you should immediately consult a doctor.
