In the tales of Russian writers, rejuvenating apples are quite common. They miraculously healed diseases and prolonged life. fairytale heroes... It's amazing that such apples actually exist!
This was proved by the breeder, professor L.I. Vigorov, who was engaged in the creation of fruits and berries with medicinal and prophylactic properties. And it all started with the fact that in 1950 the professor began to create a unique garden in Sverdlovsk, by 1960 he had collected a collection of 700 varieties of apple trees, and by the end of 1968 there were already 1200 varieties of apple trees alone, not counting dozens of other fruit crops. In his works, Leonid Ivanovich referred to the words of Michurin, who bequeathed to his followers to develop a variety of apples that would cure many diseases and prolong life. The breeder studied in his laboratory the content of vitamins, natural antibiotics, trace elements and other compounds useful for humans in fruits.
In the course of this work, the scientist found out that the vast majority of apple varieties, and other fruit crops with fruits that are really useful for humans, are very rare. Of the varieties he studied, only 5% contained in apples such an amount of biologically active substances that could have positive influence on people's health.
The professor came to the conclusion that such common varieties of apples as "White filling", "Papirovka", "Melba", "Welsey", "Cinnamon striped", "Pepin saffron", "Grushovka Moscow" and some others have low content two main vitamins for the body - C and P, and do not compensate for their deficiency in the body. However, in Vigorov's collection, there were apple trees, the fruits of which are ten times richer in vitamins than those listed. The professor used these varieties to breed rejuvenating apples. However, in those years domestic breeders, and the whole world, took a different path. The main criterion in their work was the yield, appearance and the taste of an apple. Thus, the creation of the apple of health faded into the background.
Professor Vigorov liked to say that just a few rejuvenating apples a day will replace 10 kg of ordinary apples. It is in relation to these healing fruits that the famous English proverb says "An apple a day keeps a doctor away" - "One apple a day - and a doctor is not needed."
It took more than 40 years for the results of L.I. Vigorov were highly appreciated. The interest of scientists and gardeners in the varieties of his collection is increasing every year. Rejuvenating apples of Professor Vigorov really exist, and their therapeutic effect has been confirmed and tested in the Ural clinics.
In particular, for central Russia, these include apple varieties such as "Naliv scarlet", "Recipe Chernenko", "Babushkino", "Vitaminnoe Isaeva". For Siberia and the Urals - "Long", "Zorka", "Ranetka Dessertnaya", "Grushovka Omskaya". The high content of vitamins P and C in apples of these varieties can, in particular, reduce blood pressure and have a healing effect on the cardiovascular system as a whole. What is a rejuvenating apple?
Among the varieties that can prevent gastrointestinal diseases, recognized as: "Ural Maslenichnoe", "Anisik Omsk", "Melon Dibrova", "Arkad yellow".
And such varieties of apples as "Apricot", "Severyanka Lisavenko", "Peaches", prevent cell aging and increase immunity.
Rejuvenating varieties of pears can also be mentioned here. Most of the European varieties known to us have a special medicinal value do not represent. But those who "came" to us with Of the Far East- "Tema", "Sibiryachka", "Olya" are useful because they contain the antibiotic arbutin, which prevents inflammatory processes and the formation of kidney stones.
The varieties of black currant selected by Vigorov "Golubka", "Pobeda", "Memory Michurin" contain 3-4 times more vitamin C than many other varieties.
Vitamin B2, which is necessary for the prevention of neuroses and the normalization of the human nervous system, was found by the professor in the varieties of plums "Manchurian Prunes" and "Yellow Troubles".
Cherry "Griot Pobeda" and raspberries "Memory of Kuzmin" contain a lot of vitamin B9, which strengthens the immune system and has anti-cancer activity.
As for sea buckthorn, rose hips, actinidia, hawthorn, mountain ash and honeysuckle, they practically all accumulate a valuable complex of vitamins and biologically active elements.
For example, in mountain ash and sea buckthorn tryptophan, from which the body produces serotonin, known to us as the hormone of happiness, is contained more than bananas. So, not only apples can be rejuvenating.
It took about 40 years before scientists and gardeners evaluated the results of the work of Professor L.I. Vigorov. Unfortunately, he did not live to see this time. And even now, varieties of rejuvenating apples are not found so often on sale.
Where can you buy rejuvenating apples? Medicinal varieties of fruit crops are most available in nurseries and breeding centers. Cuttings and seedlings of rejuvenating apples can also be obtained from private gardeners. The most complete collection of multivitamin fruit crops is collected in the Botanical Garden of Moscow State University and Michurinsky Garden in Moscow, where seedlings and cuttings for grafting are also sold. Eat rejuvenating apples and you will always be healthy!

Folk tales are so good because they contain a huge everyday experience and wisdom. It is not for nothing that in Russia they said that "a fairy tale is a lie - but there is a hint in it." Some heroes of Russian fairy tales ridicule human vices and bad deeds, others punish evil and deceit, others glorify kindness, honesty, courage and courage. "Rejuvenating apples" is a fairy tale that will both teach you a lot and tell you that there is a silver lining. Any child who reads this fairy tale will surely learn a lot of useful things for himself, get an idea of true values and develop a sense of beauty.
Tale "Rejuvenating apples". Summary
In a certain kingdom, in a certain state, there lived a king. And he had three sons. The eldest is Fedor, the middle is Vasily and the younger is Ivan. The tsar grew old, and his hearing and eyes were no longer the same. However, he found out that an apple tree with rejuvenating apples was growing far, far away, and there was a well with living water there. If you taste an apple, you will look younger, and if you wash your eyes with water, you will see well.
The king arranged a feast and invited all the boyars, princes and his sons to him. And he began to talk to them about the fact that if there was a man who would get him a jug of rejuvenating apples and water, he would give this brave man the possession of half his kingdom. The older brothers could not restrain themselves and immediately became indignant, they did not want to share their inheritance with anyone.
The Adventures of Brother Fyodor
The eldest son Fyodor was the first to decide to go on the road for wonderful gifts. He took for himself an unhappy horse, an unbridled bridle, an unweaved whip, twelve girths for the fortress, and drove off. How long or short, but suddenly at the crossroads of three roads he saw a huge stone on which it was written: "If you go to the right, you will lose a horse, if you go straight, you will be married, if you go to the left, you will save your horse, you will lose yourself." And he chose, of course, the straight road. Rides and rides, and then lo and behold - a tower with a gilded roof is standing. A red maiden came out of it and invited the tsar's son to go into the house, eat and rest on the way. At first Fyodor stubbornly refused, but then he agreed. The girl fed him, gave him drink, and put him to bed by the wall. And then she turned the bed so that the guest flew straight into a deep hole.
Brother Vasily's mistake
After a while, the king again gathers all his nobles and again asks him to get him rejuvenating apples and a jug of water, and as a reward he gives him half the kingdom. The second tsar's son Vasily did not want to share the father's inheritance either, so he soon got ready for the road himself. And the same fate awaited him as his older brother. Now the two of them were waiting for their release in the girl's dark pit.
Ivan Tsarevich in search of rejuvenating apples
Time passed, and the king gathers a third feast and again talks about rejuvenating apples and living water. This time Ivan Tsarevich decided to get all this for his father, and the brothers had to be found. Ivan received his father's blessing and got ready to go. There was no worthy horse in the royal stable. Ivan was saddened and suddenly sees a backyard grandmother, who, recognizing his sadness, said that in the cellar a good horse was chained to an iron chain. Ivan Tsarevich approached the cellar, kicked the iron plate, tore off the chain from the horse, bridled it, saddled it and put twelve cinches. And galloped off to test the valiant Slavushka.
He got to the stone-slab, read all its inscriptions and decided to go along the path "to save a horse, and to lose oneself." He rode for a long time or for a short time, but at sunset he came across a hut on chicken legs. He turned the hut in front of him, and back to the forest and went into it. Babka Yaga immediately sensed the Russian spirit. And let's ask him, they say, who he is and where he is from, but Ivan first asked him to feed him and give him a break from the road, and then told her where he was going and what treasures he needed. Baba Yaga knew where the rejuvenating apples were and living water, as it turned out, her own niece - the girl Sineglazka, a strong hero. But it is almost impossible to find her. And then she sent him to her middle sister and gave her horse. He quickly got to her, but even she did not know how to find the girl Sineglazka. And then she gave him her horse and drove him to her older, most knowledgeable sister. She told Ivan Tsarevich that their niece Sineglazka lived behind high and thick walls, and she had a lot of guards. She gave the young man her fighting horse and warned: "As you drive up to the walls of the Sineglazka palace, hit the sides of the horse, and he will fly over this wall in a moment." Ivan Tsarevich immediately hit the road.
Maiden Sineglazka
He quickly reached the kingdom of the Sineglazka maiden and sees that her guards are all asleep. Then he spurred his horse and found himself in magic garden where an apple tree with rejuvenating apples grew, and under it there was a well with water. He plucked the fruits, scooped water and was about to run away, only now curiosity seized him: he would have looked at this girl Sineglazka. He went to her room and saw that she was asleep, and next to all her servants from a dozen girls. Ivan Tsarevich could not restrain himself and kissed her. And then he jerked his horse under the bundles, but it was not there. The horse touched one horseshoe wall, the ringing echoed throughout the district. Everyone suddenly woke up and noticed the loss.
Ivan Tsarevich drives his horse at full speed, and after him the hero Sineglazka rushes with all her guards. In the end, she overtook him and wanted to punish him severely for theft, but could not, because she liked this good fellow. And he began to kiss her on the mouth of sugar. They walked for three days and three nights. And then she ordered him to go home, without turning anywhere, and wait for her for three years. But Ivan did not listen to her and went to rescue his brothers from trouble. He turned onto that fatal path and went straight to the tower to the insidious girl. But he did not help himself and go to bed, but threw her straight into the pit, and from there the brothers began to call for help. Their brother Ivan helped them out, but they did not appreciate it. They deceived him, took the rejuvenating apples and a jug of water, and threw himself into the abyss.
Deception
Bird Nagai helped him get out of the cave and took him straight to his home side. He learned that the brothers had brought magic gifts to the priest-tsar, and he became good health... And then Ivan Tsarevich did not want to return home to his father, but gathered the tavern goli and drunks, began to drink with them and walk in taverns.
Meanwhile, Sineglazka gave birth to two sons. They grew by leaps and bounds. And then she called her sons, gathered an army and set off to look for Ivan Tsarevich. She came to his kingdom and pitched her tent in the field, and then sent a messenger to the king, so that he would give her the prince - his son. The tsar was frightened at first, drove the eldest son Fedor, and then the middle Vasily, but she did not recognize them as Ivan Tsarevich, only ordered her sons to flog them with a cane for treachery and deceit. Yes, I ordered them to tell the whole truth to their father and urgently find Ivan. The king, having learned the truth, burst into burning tears.
Long-awaited meeting
At this time, Ivan Tsarevich himself goes to Sineglazka with a tavern, they throw to the sides, the cloth is torn underfoot. She recognized Sineglazka in the drunkard Ivan Tsarevich - the father of his children - and told his sons to take him and take him to the tent to change his clothes and give him a break after three years of innocent suffering. And she brought him a glass to his tavern friends and sent them home.
A day passed, and the bogatyr Sineglazka with Ivan Tsarevich arrived at the palace and they arranged a merry wedding feast there. And Fyodor and Vasily were driven out of the yard out of sight. But the newlyweds did not stay in their father's kingdom, but left for Sineglazkino's kingdom. They began to live there happily and not grieve.
Conclusion
This is how the fairy tale ended with a happy ending. Ivan Tsarevich received both rejuvenating apples and a faithful wife. The summary, although it could not contain everything interesting and important that happened to the heroes, told the main thing. And the main thing is that we are once again convinced that the heroes of Russian fairy tales teach us moral behavior and spiritual purity. This also suggests that at all times human values were above all. "Rejuvenating apples" is a fairy tale that will not leave any reader indifferent and will give wonderful memories of childhood to adults, and to kids - an amazing, beautiful story and the belief that good will always triumph over evil.
The Ural Forestry Institute (now a university) has the only garden of medicinal crops in Russia. It was founded more than half a century ago by Leonid Ivanovich Vigorov, professor of the Department of Botany and Dendrology of the Institute. The scientific research laboratory of plant physiology and biochemistry, which he created for the first time in the country, which studied biologically active substances (BAS) of fruits and berries, also gained all-Union fame, thanks to his research. In the 50-60s of the last century, Vigorov came to the conclusion that in conditions of urbanization, fruits with these substances, especially valuable for health, can have a beneficial effect on a person, expanding the adaptive capabilities of the body and preventing some diseases. But, having become the pioneer of therapeutic and prophylactic gardening, Vigorov did not have time to bring all his ideas to life. What Leonid Ivanovich Vigorov managed to do in spite of the circumstances of his time, are told by his son, candidate of biological sciences Yuri Leonidovich Vigorov, and our special correspondent Venedikt Dadykin, who visited Yekaterinburg. Vigorov was not only a great scientist, but also a great optimist. Looking ahead from the standpoint of today, he wrote in his book "The Garden of Medicinal Cultures" (the book was never published during his lifetime): judged only by their taste, size and aroma, regardless of their actual value for health protection, maintaining high performance and prolonging human life. "
Science and Life // Illustrations
L. I. Vigorov at blossoming apple tree... 1959 year.
This is how the young Garden of medicinal crops and the building of the laboratory of biologically active substances of the Ural Forestry Institute looked in the 1960s - early 1970s.
Head of the Department of Botany of the Ural Forestry University A.P. Kozhevnikov at the cedar planted in the Garden of Medicinal Cultures.
Apples in Russian folk tales were attributed special strength, capable of returning youth to a person. It is no coincidence that they were called rejuvenating. I first learned not about fabulous, but about quite real rejuvenating apples of Leonid Ivanovich Vigorov back in the 70s of the last century. And not only from the reports of newspapers and magazines of those years, but also from serious scientific publications: I came across reports from several conferences, in which breeders, biochemists, physicians and other specialists of the country's leading institutes comprehensively discussed various aspects of the work, which, in fact, opened a new direction of horticulture and medicine - therapeutic and prophylactic.
Its implementation promised neither more nor less, but ... health to everyone - to plant generous gardens quite widely. Not with simple varieties, but those that are capable of producing healing fruits for use as the best prophylactic... It was about fruits with increased content and a certain combination of biologically active substances.
The scope and goals of the Ural scientist could not but seem incredible, almost fantastic, which is hard to believe. And Leonid Ivanovich fully understood the skeptics, himself urging his colleagues not to take anything on faith, but to double-check his conclusions. Therefore, he organized clinical trials with the use of medicinal fruits in several hospitals in Sverdlovsk.
"DESERT" AND "PEARL"
"One apple a day - and the disease will recede" - numerous variations of sayings different nations Leonid Ivanovich did not question this topic, but rather clarified it. Thanks to deep years of research, he gave them a serious scientific basis. As a result, there are strict and still not refuted conclusions, expressed in figures and facts.
Let's think about the simplest: with the daily urgent need of our body in 70-100 mg of vitamin C (without it, we are susceptible to flu, colds and other infections, as well as diseases such as atherosclerosis, stomach ulcers and duodenum) in the most common and accessible to all fruits - ordinary apples - there is very little of it (14 mg in every 100 g). But this, note, is on average. Depending on the variety and its origin, the presence of vitamin C ranges from 2 to 40 mg%. That is, the difference is twentyfold, more than significant!
In southern varieties - Western European (Italian, Spanish, Greek) and South American (Argentinean, Chilean), and in domestic South Russian apples, which are sold year-round in stores, vitamin C is only 2-5 mg%. Vigorov called such apples "dummies", because to fill the deficiency in vitamin C, they must be eaten every day almost in a bag.
And here are the exact calculations of Professor Vigorov: the daily therapeutic dose of imported southern apples (for example, the most popular varieties Jonathan or Golden Delicious) is 5-7 kg, common in middle lane"Average" in the form of Pepin saffron and most others - 2.5 kg, and the best high-vitamin (Renet Chernenko) - 500 g. For preventive purposes healthy people it is enough to eat half of this amount - for example, a couple of Renet Chernenko apples.
But we often do not eat high-vitamin apples at all, but the first ones that come across, and even those not every day. And not a sack a day. As a result, there is a chronic deficiency of vitamin C and other necessary biologically active substances, which becomes, according to doctors, the root cause of the loss of immunity, premature aging and the emergence of a whole "bunch" of diseases.
At the same time, in the best varieties of apples that could be grown almost everywhere, L. I. Vigorov identified 25 natural medicines, including 10 essential vitamins, 6 trace elements, 3 antibiotics, several radioprotective compounds.
For normal well-being, all 25 substances contained in abundance in "healing" apples are required every day. As Vigorov emphasized, in addition to vitamin C, these fruits are rich in the second most important vitamin - P, more precisely, P-active compounds, which normalize the permeability and elasticity of the walls of blood vessels, including the most important capillary, which prevents atherosclerosis and cerebral hemorrhage - the scourge of our time and also maintains normal blood pressure ...
But here's another discovery of the professor: in comparison with southern varieties of apples, ruddy and large, apples grown in the middle lane are often not so elegant and smaller, capillary-strengthening vitamins are many times more - at least 3-4 times, and in small-fruited Ural and Siberian - 10-15 times.
The situation is similar with other fruits: some varieties are useful, like from candies, while others are a storehouse of health and can prevent many ailments.
But in recent years, they have not come into fashion at all. medicinal fruits with biologically active substances (biologically active substances), and the so-called dietary supplements (biologically active additives).
SUCCESS AND FAILURE OF PROFESSOR VIGOROV
They say about such scientists: their trouble is that they are ahead of their time. However, what LI Vigorov managed to do, despite the circumstances of his time, is very significant, although it has not yet been appreciated at its true worth. And most importantly, we did not use these discoveries.
Leonid Ivanovich's research in the direction of therapeutic and prophylactic gardening - for all its uniqueness - initially did not fit into the framework of scientific and learning activities Ural Forestry Institute, where he worked as the head of the Department of Botany and Dendrology, and then - the research laboratory of plant physiology and biochemistry and director of the Garden of Medicinal Cultures.
At the Agricultural Academy and the Ministry Agriculture they did not understand him either: in the days of empty counters, there was no time for rejuvenating apples - any apples were in short supply.
Nevertheless, Vigorov's achievements have not lost their significance to this day. In the garden, the laying of which began in 1950, and the collection was replenished until 1976, he collected and received the rarest varieties and forms of medicinal fruit and berry crops: hundreds of forms of "medicinal" apples, pears, plums, cherries, hawthorns, currants and other crops that were supposed to become "donors" of future, much more perfect varieties with given healing properties... Two selection masterpieces were also created - apple varieties Vitaminnoe White and Pamyat Dibrov, combining high content vitamins, trace elements and natural antibiotics.
The main achievement of Leonid Ivanovich is overcoming the stereotype of a primitive assessment of fruits only by taste, size and yield. He developed a technique for their rapid biochemical analysis right in the garden. More precisely, in a laboratory created and equipped with it, where they carried out error-free analyzes showing the healing benefits of any fruit in certain numbers. Analyzing samples of tens and hundreds of promising varieties (there are about 1200 samples of apples alone), the laboratory staff - experienced biochemists - selected unique specimens (chemoclones) containing a large amount of biologically active substances. "Not a single horticultural institute," Vigorov wrote at that time, "did not find a single new medicinal compound in the fruits, we have found 20 such substances anew."
As a result, out of many hundreds of varieties grown in Russia, only a few have received the "title" of medicinal varieties. And these were not all the well-known Grushovka, Papirovka and Borovinka, but, alas, rarely found in the gardens of Naliv scarlet, Zarya, Aport Alexandrova, Skryzhapel, Tikhonovskoye, as well as some small-fruited Ural-Siberian apple varieties that are not inferior in the accumulation of vitamins to citrus. Saplings of many of them, under the influence of Vigorov, began to grow local nurseries.
The Ural medical garden attracted, like a magnet, both specialists and amateur gardeners, to whom Leonid Ivanovich generously distributed cuttings. And for specialists he organized five all-union conferences, at which, after informal discussions, no one was able to refute the conclusions of the "provincial" professor.
His example turned out to be so contagious that at many horticultural research centers in the country, laboratories began to be created that used Vigorov's method. And it seemed that widespread selection was about to begin, and the cultivation of healing fruits in such quantities that they would lie on every table.
And as usual at all times, the story of rejuvenating fruits ended very badly: on one of the spring days L.I.
WHERE ARE THE STUDENTS AND FOLLOWERS?
Leonid Ivanovich dreamed of an unusual vitamin record holder - a rose hip with seedless fleshy berries, thornless large-fruited sea buckthorn and others, fruits that were asking right into the mouth, combining both taste and real benefits. To our deep regret, after the death of the scientist, this most important direction not only did not receive further development but was actually lost.
What's left?
Having visited Yekaterinburg, I sadly remembered the well-known folk wisdom: "The garden blooms only as long as its owner is alive." No, all the formalities and even the law seem to have been complied with: The Garden of Medicinal Cultures is in the status of a natural monument of regional significance, and at the entrance is the name of its creator. And even in the center, near the reconstructed house of the administration, where Vigorov once worked without days off and holidays, there is a granite monument to him. Only now there is little left of the former Garden of Medicinal Cultures. Some unique varieties of apple trees found or bred and still not propagated by anyone (for example, in Memory of Dibrov) have grown old and disappeared forever. Many landings are in disrepair. Without anti-aging pruning, their lifespan is approaching the limit. The once famous biological laboratory was also closed for a long time.
The current employees of the kindergarten successfully defend their dissertations, and former students have become professors. But their work does not promise the continuation of a once so brilliant endeavor, although the health of the nation has been declared a priority national project.
It is a pity that for more than thirty years that have passed since the death of the scientist, Vigorov's books, which have become a bibliographic rarity, have not been republished, although an outwardly "solid" folio album has been released, on coated paper, with eye-catching illustrations. Formally - for the 55th anniversary of the garden, but, alas, such a description does not awaken either thoughts or feelings, although, probably, it contains information that is of interest to a narrow circle of specialists. Only the "naked theory" is not capable of adding health to anyone.
However, there is also news: the university has been allocated 10 hectares of land on the new territory, as if for the Garden of Medicinal Cultures. If only this land was used for its intended purpose, and not for landscape design and reproduction of ornamental plants.
Recently, the Department of Botany of the University was headed by a talented scientist-dendrologist, Doctor of Agricultural Sciences A.P. Kozhevnikov. After graduating from the Ural Forestry Institute, he was in charge of the garden for several years and achieved interesting results in the variability and selection of sea buckthorns. His interests are wide, his opportunities are also wide, but he is not a biochemist.
And really, is it necessary to do all this in the Urals, in the zone of risky agriculture, and even at a local university? Vigorov himself hoped that this problem would not develop in the Urals. In various papers of those years, which he sent "up", it was about the creation of three experimental stations for medicinal gardening in three zones of the country - middle, northern and southern.
And why not create all-Russian centers of medicinal gardening in our science cities - Novosibirsk and Michurinsk, especially since there are three "profile" institutes in the latter?
HEALTH IS IN YOUR GARDEN!
Attempts to implement Vigorov's ideas were not only in the Urals. Biochemical selection in different years conducted by Professor S.I. Isaev (Moscow State University, Moscow), D.K.Shapiro (Central Botanical Garden, Minsk), E.I.Sedov (All-Russian Research Institute of Fruit Crops Breeding, Orel), Barnaul breeders (All-Russian Research Institute of Horticulture of Siberia named after M.A.Lisavenko, Barnaul), Professor Shupan (Germany) and others.
According to Vigorov's calculations (vitamin C - 25-30 mg% and P - more than 300 mg%), the following varieties can rightfully be considered as real medicinal, in accordance with Vigorov's calculations: Multivitamin (Botanical Garden of Moscow State University, Moscow); Skala, Uspenskoe (All-Russian Research Institute of Genetics and Selection of Fruit Plants, Michurinsk); Beauty of Sverdlovsk, Sokovo-2, Radonitsa (Sverdlovsk selection station of gardening, Yekaterinburg); Ranetka Ermolaeva, Barnaulochka, Altai early ripening (All-Russian Research Institute of Horticulture of Siberia named after MA Lisavenko, Barnaul); Flashlight, Scarlet Flower (Krasnoyarsk Experimental Gardening Station, Krasnoyarsk); Vita (All-Russian Research Institute of Breeding of Fruit Crops, Oryol); Kerr, a Chinese woman from Canada.
The pinnacle in the creation of high-vitamin antihypertensive varieties - apple varieties Veselovka, Zaeltsovskoe, Siberian souvenir, Kulundinskoe, Palmetta, Siberian blush, Dauria, Divo, Marine Botanical and Zolotodolinskoe, created by scientists of the Central Siberian Botanical Garden (Novosibirsk). Vitamin C in them is up to 45 mg%, and P-active compounds- up to 1300 mg%. Such fruits are healthier than oranges!
Prevents diseases of the liver, kidneys and Bladder, including the deposition of stones and sand due to the increased content of arbutin (up to 80 mg% instead of 5-10 mg%) and chlorogenic acid (up to 200 mg%) pear varieties originating from the wild-growing Ussuri: Tenderness, Memory of Yakovlev, Severyanka, Svetlyanka, Lyubimitsa Yakovlev and Skorospelka (All-Russian Research Institute of Genetics and Selection of Fruit Plants, Michurinsk); Myth and Fairytale (South Ural Institute of Horticulture, Chelyabinsk); Transcendental, Penguin, Sverdlovchanka, Valentina, Nizkoroslaya (Sverdlovsk selection station of gardening, Yekaterinburg); Lada, Chizhovskaya, Cathedral, Dressy Efimova (TSHA, Moscow).
Aronium ( chokeberry), which is not widespread due to the astringent taste. However, in Michurinsk, its new variety was bred, without astringency, - Black-eyed.
Records among fruit and berry crops in terms of the content of anti-cold and strengthening vitamin C (up to 4000 mg%) were the best varieties of rose hips: Vitamin (All-Russian Research Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, Moscow), Ural Champion and Bagryany (South Ural Research Institute of Fruit and Vegetable Growing, Chelyabinsk) ...
An alternative to rosehip is the newest varieties of actinidia: Parkovaya, Lakomka, Fantasy gardens, Lyubitelskaya (Experimental station VSTISP, Moscow region).
The increased content of vitamins C and P (respectively, in berries 300 and 1300 mg% instead of the usual 100 and 500 mg%, in the leaves - many times more) differs black currant varieties Kipiana, Kupalinka, Muravushka. They were created at the All-Russian Research Institute of Breeding of Fruit Crops (Orel).
A noticeable hematopoietic effect due to the optimal content of vitamins C, B 9 and iron can be exerted by garden strawberries with dark cherry pulp varieties Ruby Pendant and Fireworks (All-Russian Research Institute of Genetics and Breeding of Fruit Plants, Michurinsk);
Kokinsky early, Rosinka, Amulet, Solovushka (Kokinsky stronghold of VSTISP, Bryansk region).
A unique natural storehouse of the most important vitamins, including vitamin E, which prevents vascular sclerosis and muscle dystrophy, is in the uncommon varieties of sea buckthorn with red-orange berries: Abundant, Orange, Otradnaya, Perchik, Ryabinovaya, Amber necklace, Trofimovskaya. They were bred in the All-Russian Research Institute of Horticulture of Siberia. M. A. Lisavenko (Barnaul) and in the Botanical Garden of Moscow State University (Moscow).
It is a shame that, despite the commercial benefits and demand, in Russia there is still not a single nursery of medicinal crops specializing in growing seedlings of the listed varieties, especially since there is no postage.
There is only one thing left: contact the nearest institutes and scientific centers at the place of creation of the listed varieties. There is only one and only institute that sends out cuttings of some apple trees in early spring for everyone who knows how to graft - this is the All-Russian Research Institute of Breeding of Fruit Crops in Orel.
But almost everywhere you can buy seeds of medicinal varieties of various vegetable crops, the selection of which Vigorov began in the last years of his life. I take the liberty of suggesting a list of such varieties and hybrids.
Beetroot Darkie, Mulatto and Mona. It features a tripled content of anthocyanins (pigments with antioxidant activity) and an increased content of betaine, which activates the liver, kidneys, digestion, increases blood pressure, and improves blood composition.
Vitamin carrots, Chantane Royal (royal), Nantes Semco, Emperor. These varieties and hybrids with dark orange flesh are especially useful for visual impairment, diseases of cardio-vascular system... All of them are real carotene concentrators - up to 37 mg%.
Pumpkin Winter Gribovskaya, Russian woman, Baby, Atlant, New. Provitamin A in these varieties is up to 30 mg%. Frequent use of pumpkin dishes is recommended in case of malfunctions of the cardiovascular system, in case of impaired liver and kidney function, and in case of salt deposition.
Bee-pollinated cucumber hybrids Captain, Teremok, True friends, Lord, Saltan. Contain in microdoses a complex complex of vitamins and a rich set mineral substances... Useful for chronic hepatitis, anemia, atherosclerosis, gastritis, stomach ulcer, dermatitis, skin diseases, obesity. And since they are rich in copper, they can prevent the appearance of gray hair and hair loss.
Hybrids of sweet peppers Maxim, Zarya, Vitamin, Garden Ring and the Cornet variety can be considered leaders in the content of vitamin C among vegetables - 480 mg% of ascorbic acid in combination with an increased content of P-active compounds, B vitamins, carotene, and Sugars. Frequent consumption of these peppers improves brain activity, digestion, increases the secretion of gastric juice, and is also useful for rheumatic pains, neuralgia, muscle inflammation, acute gastrointestinal disorders.
Contains various types of antiulcer vitamin U white cabbage. Mineral salts and other biologically active substances are rich in lettuce, dill, parsley, spinach. However, no one conducts "measurements" for the presence of such substances. Moreover, further breeding work on the development of varieties of vegetables with specified healing properties has been reduced to naught.
In general, we have to state with chagrin that in the United States, where they began to study such problems much later than in Russia, medicinal gardening is gradually gaining priority development, as well as governmental support their Vigorovs. Well, in our country, if not the current, then the next generation of scientists will have to restore the lost bit by bit, or even start from scratch. It's a shame!

I will write a lot, try to read to the end, I hope I will be objective, because if you are looking for a place where your to a loved one help, you always try to find out as much as possible, I hope my review will be a starting point for you. Mom (78 years old) was sent immediately after the hospital (ischemic stroke) to this center. We didn’t regret it for a minute. It's good that we did it right away. Progress is obvious, it was necessary to take it away from the hospital earlier, there would be more sense. Impressions: located on the territory of the Sokolniki sanatorium in the bowels of the Sokolniki forest-park zone. A small, well-groomed, cozy area (almost a mini-botanical garden with an extraordinary variety of plants and elements of landscape design. additional benefits(pool, court, etc.) I will not write, because this is no longer according to the profile of our stay here, although they are certainly a plus of the sanatorium, since the medical focus here is different. The food is good, if not homemade. Rooms (rooms) are different, but this is reflected in the prices, everyone chooses according to their wallet. Hygienic care of patients and rooms, where they are always at the same level, as well as carrying out medical procedures. Organization of work with patients is excellent. All issues are resolved quickly and clearly. Chief Administrator (I may be mistaken in the title of the position) Zhanna Vladimirovna and head. department Veronika Aleksandrovna is always in touch. Relatives are notified of any change in the patient's condition. The professionalism of these people is beyond doubt. Neurologist Alexander Alexandrovich, exercise therapy doctor, speech therapist, masseuse Margarita, nurses and visiting nurses and brothers (I will not list everyone by name) all perfectly perform not only their professional duty, but also just human duty. After all, a patient at this age and condition needs not only medical care, but also any manifestation of care and attention from others. This is just fine here. Mom learned to sit up on her own and sit without outside help, eat with her left hand without assistance, began to lean on her leg, large movements in the clarity of speech. Appetite appeared. She began to smile, joke and command as in the old days, there was an interest in life and a desire to learn how to serve herself to the maximum on her own. And all this thanks to the staff of the center, namely the team, and not just individual employees. On what I would like to draw the attention of employees: modify the site immediately will have a completely different impression of the center. Add more photos its cozy interiors, territory, rooms of different price categories for patients, exercise equipment, various devices for the convenience of patients (wheelchairs, walkers, medical beds, etc.), what you have in stock. Photos of your patients in various classes. And of course, members of your team, they deserve information about them. Thanks to everyone who read to the end, I hope my monologue will be useful to someone. And this Wednesday, July 8, we are already discharging, stayed here for 3 weeks and will consolidate the results achieved here at home. And my mother, by the way, so cautiously asked me today if she could book a trip here for the future. I answered - we will save money.

(from internet)
Everyone knows that in any folk tale there is hidden a secret meaning, an imprint of old traditions, beliefs, magic, etc. Therefore, I always study with interest the myths and legends about various magical objects and heroes mentioned in fairy tales.
One of these magical items is Rejuvenating Apples, the recipe for which was kept by magicians of various cultures.
Here are some recipes I found on the internet.
***
- If you want to return youth to yourself and your loved ones, take a large red apple, wash it and cut it into three, five or seven slices, depending on the number of participants in the ceremony. Remove the bones. Place the slices in a deep plate. In another bowl, mix holy water with cold boiled water (half a cup each) and pour over the apple slices.
Then take a pinch of sugar and, sprinkling it in a circle (clockwise) on the apples, say: "Lord, give me back my youth!" Once again take a pinch of sugar and, sprinkling it, say: "Lord, give me back happiness!" And pour the third pinch strictly into the center of the plate and ask: "Lord, give me back what is gone!" If you are performing the ceremony alone, eat the whole apple. If not, divide the wedges between the participants. Pour water from a plate into a bottle and wipe your face with it in the morning and evening with it for seven days in a row, let it dry, and then rinse with warm water. See what kind of face will become! And one more thing: you definitely need to sincerely believe in what you are doing. Believe - and your desires will come true.
Seda Vardanyan
*** Using Runes
Apples purchased: fresh, juicy, red or golden-liquid. There are nine of them. This number is widely used in myths and magic. For nine days and nights Odin hung on the Ash tree, he received nine songs. The number nine transforms everything it touches. The apples are washed. Wiped off with a clean napkin and spread out on a white or red linen on the table in front of you. Time is early morning. You are washed. Well-groomed and focused. Around is quiet and secluded.
Light a candle and place it at the top edge of the canvas. Next we put a glass or goblet with apple juice or apple wine (vinegar will not work). Your glass is a sacrifice to the goddess Idunn. They turned to face the north, raised their outstretched arms and turned to the goddess Idunn. We turned into verses-vises, and we pronounce them with confidence and dignity:
Goddess Idunn,
Ruler of youth!
Breathe your power
Into spread apples
Fill them with currents of beauty and youth
For me (name)!
Consuming them
I become young
And healthy.
Thank you.
When your hands are slowly lowered, the goddess Idunn is already with you. We turned to face the altar, where your apples lie on the canvas and a candle is burning. Take in left hand apple, to the right - your new fruit knife (now it is a ceremonial one), and apply slowly, with concentration, with an understanding of what is happening, the signs of Inguz and Berkan. When you perform this magical act, speak-speak-chant:
“I apply the symbol of Inguz, Inguz, Inguz ... I bring the energy of transformation into the flesh of the apple .... I apply the symbol of Berkan, Berkan, Berkan ... I bring the energy of health and youth! "
Finished, put the apple back on the canvas, took the next one - and so all nine pieces. Standing facing the altar, they again stretched out their arms and said:
"May the gift and mercy of the goddess Idunn enter into these fruits!"
And then you see or imagine (visualize) how these fruits permeate with a table of light and energy, soft, possibly golden or greenish. After enjoying this spectacle for a few seconds (minutes), lower your hands. The stream stops. In those moments you yourself were the Goddess Idunn.
Now it is obligatory thank caring and quiet Idunn for her gifts. And one apple a day - in the morning, on an empty stomach, without a stub, but with seeds. And the first apple is right here, at the altar, with consciousness:"I absorb strength, I become healthy, I become renewed"
.
And every time - thanksgiving after a delicious and healthy meal. Tie the cloth on which your rejuvenating apples lie in a knot and hide from prying eyes. As stated in the instructions, "store in a dry and cool place."
And then take your time, sit, look at the fire until the candle goes out. Drink some wine or juice from a goblet, pour the rest into running water. This magical act must be repeated twice, after nine and after eighteen days, in total you will try 27 rejuvenating apples. Note that all these numbers are multiples of nine, and the number 9 is, by the way, the ordinal number of the Inguz symbol.

P.S.- Do not look meticulously in the mirror every minute. The processes of rejuvenation and healing are gentle, from the inside, therefore, on the contrary, relax your gaze studying the reflection in the mirror and relax your expectation-tension. The changes have already begun and will be noticed. You are beautiful right now.
Inna Nadporozhskaya
*** You will need bright green apples, preferably with a smooth surface. Do not use red or yellow ones, as they do not give good results.
Rinse them well in running water and prepare for a little ritual. They should be charged with energy at night, with the moon, the growth or decrease of which does not matter. Let your hair down and be sure to wear a skirt or dress. The fact is that you will be dealing with a typically feminine energy, so you will have to give up trousers or jeans.
Go to an open area or stand on a balcony. Put your apples on a plate and place them so that they fall on them Moonlight... Tell:
"Moonlight, give me good,
Turn apples into a source of youth! "
Then look at your fruits and imagine that they have begun to absorb the energy of the moon. This way, you can help them charge faster. How long should you keep them in the moonlight? Unfortunately, I cannot answer this question: you yourself must feel that the process is complete.
How to use rejuvenating apples?
On an empty stomach, in the morning. It is advisable to eat them continuously in the first days, that is, every morning for one to two weeks. Then you can reduce your intake to twice a week. Seeds and cores are optional.
By the way, if you want to direct their action to correct your figure, just eat them with the thought that you will become slim.
Rejuvenating apples will keep your vitality in the right rhythm and will have a beneficial effect on the preservation of youth and attractiveness.

Conspiracies from Maria Bazhenova
(Ural healer)
During the apple salvation, light the apples in the church. Seven pieces. Bring home. Such words to say:
The young lady came - she brought an apple miracle. Baptized apple - blessed in the church. Fondled by the heavenly Father, nurtured by the heavenly Father. Someone tastes an apple, he will not taste old age. May it be so. Amen.
Apples are eaten every day in the morning, all week.
A conspiracy to rejuvenate
You need to do this. But looking at night, on a moonlit night, take clean, running water, add salt to the water (1 teaspoon of salt per 2 liters of water), and wipe the whole body with this water. You wipe yourself off and say:
I wash, wash, the servant of God (name), white whitewash, scarlet blush. I wipe myself with salt, the article is filled. I, the servant of God (name), will be younger than the young woman, younger than the clear dawn, younger than the spring grass, younger than the first snow, younger than the first snowfield. So that everyone looked at me, and wondered, that everyone looked at me, and admired. Here to my words - a key and a lock. May it be so. Amen.
How to lure dirt out of the body
In this tricky business, they will help us: pickled vegetables, apples, sour juices, yogurt, kefir. Here efficient way, my grandmother prescribed it to all the girls in our village.
Into the glass sour milk add 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar and 1 teaspoon of honey. And say:
There was poison, it became fun. I was sick, I will become young. May it be so. Lock. Key. Elusive, like a ray of the sun. Amen.
You need to drink in the morning, along with breakfast.
But it is better not to use vegetable oil along with sour food. Butter will spoil your whole business, and your business will be like a cart without wheels. Will not go far. Sour food is best eaten with an animal, and after tea you need to put a few grains of salt on your tongue and swallow saliva.
A conspiracy for those who, due to fatigue and illness, look bad
How does it work sometimes? You are tired, sick - all this is immediately reflected on your face, and guests are visiting you. Or, well, you just really need to impress a person, but here such a misfortune. How to be? There is one very powerful conspiracy. You need to do the following. You need to take a silver spoon and say:
Silver is young, silver is light, silver is endowed with beauty.
Then collect clean, running water. Dip a charmed spoon into it. Dip forefinger right hand into this water and hold it across the face, three times counterclockwise and so to speak:
As this silver piece is knocked down, they love me (name), they call me, they dignify, my beauty is noticed. Amen.
How to speak your beauty
How to take care? Well, it's not at all difficult, and you can take care of a wonderful word, and there are all kinds of techniques, how to save your face from fading, how to refresh it, how to nourish it. In our family, in the female line, everyone did not look his age. They looked 10-15 years younger. And don't tell me that life was easy. And no one had even heard of today's expensive creams, and, of course, there was no money for such "trinkets":
Conspiracy to keep your hands young and beautiful
Hands are the first thing that betrays a woman's age. Especially if a woman earns her living with her hands, then this is primarily reflected in her hands. How to make your hands young? You need to do the following. Ash, sour cream and vegetable oil... After sunset, you need to put it all on separate plates. And put on the window, under the moonlight, and so to speak:
The time has come for rejuvenating, the time has come abundant. The moon shines, marks with youth. Amen.
Then you need to dip your hands in the first bowl, cover them with ash and so to speak:
Ash is black, you took the bitterness. May it be so. Amen.
Then dip your hands in sour cream and say:
White river, gave youth. May it be so. Amen.
Then dip your hands in vegetable oil and say:
Soft, fragrant, handles, handles, please, soft, fragrant, handles, handles, revive. Soft, fragrant, calm handles. May it be so. Amen.
Weight loss conspiracy
Some girls suffer from excess weight. And so and so - they can not lose weight in any way, but only bring themselves to all kinds of diseases. To help such girls and save them from torment, I found one conspiracy. At noon, on the 25th of any month, you need to buy a comb from the store. Wait for the night, and say something to her:
As you comb my hair, as you comb out feathers and lice, comb out my fat, so break my lard, remove from my body. Take it on yourself. From now and forever. Yes it will come true. Amen.
This conspiracy must be repeated with each combing.

Galdrastav Yngingar-galdur "Golden Apple"
And if in Russian, then - "the spell of rejuvenation", "rejuvenating witchcraft", etc. From the series "How do I do it" with the application of the "Golden Apple", Gull-epli (approximately pronounced as - gyutl-ebli).
In order:
1. Galdrastav: why is he like that and not different.
This is what the sign looks like without any additional formalities. Formality, in this case, there is something that does not in any way affect the "working" of the sign, such as specifying signatures, decorating details, names and kennings of gods following the case, etc.
Golden apples were eaten by the gods so as not to age. The apple keeper is the goddess Idunn, the wife of Braga. Hence, the symbolism underlying the sign is the very rejuvenating fruit. Not like that? It is also similar (see below):
A little entertaining numerology: the Pythagoreans (and not only them later) have the number 5 (the number of "branches" of the stav) - "youth", "health". This time.
Second: the number 9 (ubersacral for the northern mysteries) is the number of "fruit" circles on each side of the "twig", i.e. 18 per one, and there are 5 of them in total, hence - 18 x 5 = 90; 9 + 0 = 9. "Twig" is a symbol of a tree that grows from a seed, and what is our sacred tree? Namely - Yggdrasil ash with nine worlds around the perimeter, which, in some mysterious way (for an ash, of course) bears fruit. What the tree symbolizes in itself is understandable. In short, if you want and without it, you can see a lot of things.
2. How to apply.
Here, first of all, it is necessary to say about the material: with by different people tried and different materials... Naturally and canonical, of course, without synthetics.
First, of course, the tree and, of course, the apple tree. Not hard to get, not hard to cut.
Secondly, the metal. Engraved on a thin gold plate. If someone also has a familiar jeweler, you can spend money.
Third, the skin. Well-crafted lamb leather. Acid etching sign. If you paint (with blood, paint) - over time, naturally, it will peel off, crumble, this violates the integrity of the sign, and this is not needed by anyone.
Consider the order of actions by options (depending on the material of the carrier):
If done on a tree. Again, two recommended options: the media should be about the size of a small cutting board (you'll see why later) and the mark should be cut out. Another case: a wooden bowl and a sign must be carved into the bottom.
Metal. It's easier with him: the plate with the sign can be used as a stand and put it on the bottom of the same bowl, at the bottom of which you don't need to cut anything.
Leather. Only as a stand.
Of the group of guinea pigs, sorry, testers, the majority preferred a wooden bowl with a sign carved on the day.
You need to deal with it in the following way: at a certain time, it is filled with water and stands for three days (three circles in the center of the sign, if that is not without reason, yeah). Then they wash their face with this water, or, having soaked a towel with it, moisturize the body. I want to add that it is not necessary to pour a lot of water into a bowl - nothing depends on its amount, otherwise they will take 3 liters each and ask "what to do with the rest." It is advisable to use up all the water, calculate the volume yourself.
With a gold plate, as is probably already clear, the procedure is similar: you need to put it on the bottom and fill it with water - as one of the options.
Or, as with a piece of leather, use it as a stand: either water is poured into the glass, or natural juice(yes, apple, for example), then it also costs 3 days and is used internally.
3. Spell.
It takes a little of this stuff. All texts are pronounced during the manufacture of the mark. If someone else made it, for example, as in the case of a gold plate, then, of course, this handicraft product must be spoken. In this case, they did this: they took thin stick(from the branch - you won't believe it - apple trees) and, following the already engraved drawing (i.e. imitating the creation process), we read all the accompanying texts.
The first (and most important) is to contact Frey. Usually I pronounce the names (heiti, kennings) of a certain god with the arrangement when depicting a sign.
It is important to understand: we turn to the legendary ancestors of the celestials, we devote our work to THEM, and here you can shove a stupid visualization to hell - you need to feel their presence - with your heart, hear their answer - with your heart, be a guide - their strength.
So, the names (etc.) are as follows: Freyr, Njarðar son, Freyju bróðir, Árguð, Fégjafa, Vanaguð, Vananið, Vanur.
