Name of the plant. Large burdock or burdock. Burdock

This seemingly inconspicuous plant with thorny balls clinging to everything turns out to be a real treasure. Although many don't even notice it. Well, at most, they use its wide leaves as a covering material for seedlings so that the latter do not die from the heat in the sun.

In fact, this plant is ignored in vain, and is intensively destroyed on its own personal plots, considered a malicious weed. If this plant is used wisely, it can bring many benefits.

What parts of the plant are used?

For medicinal purposes, burdock can be used entirely: roots, leaves and, in fact, the burdocks themselves - the prickly seeds of burdock.

When is the right time to collect raw materials?

Let's start with the leaves. They can be collected at any time throughout the summer and even at the beginning of autumn, that is, from June to September inclusive. The age of the plant in this particular case is not important; we collect it both from a young bush and from a plant in its second year of life.

But with roots it’s a little more complicated. They can only be collected from annual plants in the fall, before frost. It is at this time that the burdock roots contain the most nutrients, because he was preparing for winter. If for some reason you did not have time to prepare the roots in the fall, you can collect them in the spring, from March to May. At this time, the roots are soft, filled with juice and fleshy. Then the plant begins to actively use the supply of nutrients, the root becomes porous, hard, and is not suitable for use either in medicinal or in cosmetics Oh.
By the way, it is not difficult to determine the age of the plant: burdock blooms only in the second year of life. This means that if the plant does not have flowers or seeds, then its root can be safely dug up.

Burdock seeds, small prickly balls, are collected as they ripen in the fall, from September to November.

Juice from burdock leaves is harvested in late spring and early summer. Preserve with alcohol in the proportion of 1 liter of juice - 200 grams of alcohol.

The shelf life of properly prepared raw materials is short, for leaves it is 1 year, for roots and seeds a little longer - up to 3 years. Freshly squeezed juice can be kept in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, no more, so it is preserved with alcohol, this extends the shelf life and use for about 1 year.

How to prepare raw materials?

We wash the leaves and lay them out on paper in a well-ventilated area or under a canopy, always in the shade; do not dry them in the sun!
The roots are dug out of the soil, washed well to remove soil and dirt, then the above-ground part is removed (you can do the opposite - first remove the above-ground part, then rinse thoroughly). Next, cut into pieces 10-15 centimeters long and dry well in a ventilated place.
The seeds are collected already ripe and dry.

What does burdock help with? Methods for preparing medicines

The list of diseases for which burdock helps is almost endless. For example, it has excellent antitumor properties, which allows it to be taken by people with oncological diseases. IN in this case Fresh or canned burdock juice is recommended for use. You need to take it shortly before meals, 15-20 grams 3-4 times a day, always in courses: you drink for a week - then a week of rest. Treatment lasts 10 weeks, that is, 5 courses: 5 weeks of admission - 5 weeks of rest.
By the way, the pulp remaining after squeezing the juice can be applied to wounds; they will heal faster, since the leaves have an excellent wound-healing and antibacterial effect.

The roots are usually used to make decoctions and infusions. They help with many diseases, such as diabetes, rheumatism, gastritis, eczema, ulcers, hair loss, gout, rickets, cholelithiasis and many others. There is more than one way to cook medicinal decoctions, infusions from burdock roots. For example, we take 100 grams of roots, preferably cut into small pieces, simmer over very low heat, without boiling, in one liter of water for about 30 minutes, strain, add boiled water to again get a liter of healing liquid, sweeten with honey and drink 50 grams each up to five times a day.

An infusion of burdock seeds (pour about 20 grams of seeds into a glass of boiling water, wrap it very carefully, by the way, you can use a thermos and leave for an hour and a half) is used for constipation.

But be careful: burdock also has contraindications for use! It cannot be assumed that everything medicinal herbs completely safe.
