Ancient herbalists, medical books and records of doctors provide an opportunity to discover long-forgotten compositions, compositions, prescriptions for medicinal herbs and remedies. Studying ancient books will provide an opportunity to get acquainted with the technologies and recipes for preparing medicines that can be useful in our time, and will open up an understanding of pharmacy and the level of development of medicine of the past.

The modern reader of ancient herbalists can experience amazing feelings. On the one hand, you understand the imperfection and naivety of techniques and methods of treatment, the poor range of medicines, and on the other hand, you see the originality of the technology and formulation, you rediscover forgotten medicinal recipes and substances. You are amazed at the tenacity of the healers and pharmacists of those years, who managed to successfully fight various ailments with this simple arsenal, and sometimes work miracles.

Herbalists of medicinal plants.

Modern medicine suggests using medications for most diseases. But despite the latest pharmacological developments, the use of such substances can be quite dangerous. This is due to the artificial nature of the substances and many side effects. That is why many people turn their attention to the advantages of natural medicines, and in particular to herbal medicines.
Medicinal herbs have been used since ancient times. Nature has created a huge number of substances that affect various processes in the human body, normalizing and improving them. Most of these substances are found in plants.

Benefits of using medicinal herbs for treatment
Nowadays, traditional herbal treatment is gaining popularity as opposed to standard chemical medicines. Natural substances contained in plants have a gentler effect on the body. Of course, they can also cause allergic reactions and side effects, but to a much lesser extent. If you follow the dosage of herbal preparations, they will not cause harm. At the same time, medications act harshly: when treating one organ, several others often suffer.
When treating with folk remedies, it is possible to provide a comprehensive effect on all diseases that a particular person has. The most important thing is to choose the right recipes or create a herbal mixture that will cover the maximum number of problems. The effect of medicinal herbs is not narrowly targeted. The same plant can have a positive effect on several organs at once. Most herbs go well together.

Disadvantages of herbal medicine
When treating with herbal decoctions, you should remember that they also have certain disadvantages. They are also associated with the characteristics of the effects of these drugs.

  • Firstly, medicinal herbs do not treat severe, advanced diseases. In these cases, herbal medicine can be used as a supportive, additional method, but not as the main treatment. Cancer, diabetes and much more should not be treated exclusively with herbs.
  • Secondly, the mild and gradual effects of herbal preparations, as well as the difficulty of precise dosage, make them useless for emergency use. When you need an urgent and strong effect of medicine on any organ, herbs are not suitable. Many of them have a cumulative effect and require taking for weeks, and in some cases, months.
  • Thirdly, herbal preparations also have contraindications that must be taken into account. Some plants can be mutually exclusive for one of the effects, which does not allow them to be used in one collection. The collection should be compiled by a specialist who is well versed in all the features of such medicinal raw materials.
  • Fourthly, it is not always possible to obtain high-quality medicinal raw materials.

Our “herbalist” is the 14 most useful herbs that you can rely on with a full description of their valuable properties and a list of contraindications.

Aloe

This plant of the succulent genus was first discovered in the countries of South Africa and Arabia. During the Russian ship's voyage to South Africa, one of the crew members contracted an unknown tropical fever and had to be left ashore. Literally a month later, another team found the sailor in the same place - he looked much better. It turned out that in the jungle he found a tropical plant that looked like a bush and chewed its leaves (most likely from hunger), and then noticed that his health began to improve significantly. This is how, according to unofficial data, aloe came to Russia.

More than 200 different types of aloe are known in nature, but the most common in our country is aloe vera or agave. As a rule, two useful products are obtained from its leaves: juice and gel. The first one is more often used in medicine, the second one in cosmetology.

SHARE

Folk remedies for all diseases. In the spring-summer period, you can prepare a huge variety of medicinal herbs, from which you can prepare healing decoctions and potions. Herbalist E. F. Zaitseva shows how Traditional medicine helps people improve their health.

Herbalist E. F. Zaitseva

“I always say: “If you don’t want to get sick, dig yourself 3 roots - burdock, wheatgrass and dandelion.” From these roots you will make a collection and drink it.

Healing roots - We save potatoes and throw away weeds. And they are more valuable than potatoes. No weeds should be thrown away. The day will come for every person when he will need not potatoes, but treatment. All weeds are treated! All these difficult-to-eradicate weeds assert their necessity to all living things on earth.

Wheatgrass

Wheatgrass is a malicious weed that the Lord literally puts under our feet for our healing. There is not a single vegetable garden that does not grow. There is not a single disease that he cannot treat, from the eyes to oncology. All wild animals, cats and dogs are treated with it. For humans, it is invaluable because it restores impaired metabolism. Infusion and decoction of rhizomes are used for dropsy, edema of various origins, cystitis, urinary incontinence, kidney stones and gall bladder, all diseases of the lungs, kidneys, chronic bronchitis, intestinal diseases, diabetes, hypertension.

Wheatgrass roots are used as a pain reliever for gout, rheumatism, lumbago, and various arthritis. The juice and decoction of the fresh plant can be taken during the summer; it helps well with partial loss of vision. Wheatgrass root treats osteochondrosis, ovarian dysfunction in women, pulmonary tuberculosis, exudative diathesis, furunculosis. There are no contraindications to taking it.

We ground flour from wheatgrass roots and baked bread. It is healthier and tastier than wheat. You can make porridge and coffee from it. In times of famine, he helps everyone out. Dandelion root is also a weed. In early spring, you need to collect dandelion leaves, soak them in salt water for two hours to remove the bitterness, and make a salad. We made soup from its leaves and fried its roots.

Dandelion

Dandelion root treats pernicious anemia, stomach and liver cancer, inflammation of the lymph nodes, diathesis, arthrosis deformans, arthritis, osteochondrosis, and all joints. In the fall, if you see a dandelion that has not bloomed and has not given all its strength to flowering, dig it up.

Burdock - “academician”

Once I was giving a lecture and said: “There is an academician who treats all diseases. An academic burdock sits in the ground and waits for someone to take him and treat him.”

Now almost all people are sick. Cancer just kills people. And burdock cures all cancer diseases. Treats diabetes, bronchitis, sinusitis, rheumatism, gout, arthritis, osteochondrosis, bone fractures, intervertebral hernias, atherosclerosis, ear diseases, chronic coronary insufficiency.

Burdock cures hepatitis! In Moscow, many people, especially men, suffer from hepatitis. Even persistent hepatitis C can be cured without a trace with burdock. After two to three months of treatment there is no hepatitis. Burdock root treats liver tumors and even cirrhosis of the liver! Treats cholecystitis, kidney diseases, crushes kidney and gallstones.

It treats all skin diseases: burns, bedsores, eczema, trophic ulcers, hair loss, purulent wounds, psoriasis, lupus erythematosus and so on. No skin specialist can treat all skin diseases, but he can!

During a flu epidemic, people run to doctors, who prescribe antibiotics. And burdock root treats flu and relieves fever.

During the war we had no shoes. It's already frosty, and we all walk barefoot. Sometimes we caught a cold and the temperature rose. Mom will give us burdock root and linden flowers, and wrap us in warmth. We sweat, and we don’t have any fever.

Burdock root cures paralysis! No one has ever treated paralysis. And he heals.

We baked bread, cooked porridge, and made dressings from these roots.

Soup and salads were prepared from young burdock leaves. The root itself was fried, baked, and made into coffee. When someone treats me to coffee, I drink it and think: is this coffee? Coffee should be made from chicory, burdock and wheatgrass roots. Mom made this coffee - it was simply incredible!

There was a case in my practice: I treated one priest in Sergiev Posad, who had large hernias of the spine. He was supposed to have an operation performed by medical luminaries in Moscow. I told him: “Let your luminaries wait one month.” He drank a tincture of the roots, a month later I saw him: he walked freely from the car to me and said: “I don’t have any hernias!”

Rule for brewing roots

The most valuable roots are in early spring, but they can also be dug in the fall. Burdock is a biennial plant. You should dig up one-year-old burdock, which has young leaves - this root is very strong. But burdock with dry leaves and burdocks is already useless; it has given all its strength to flowering. You can collect burrs from it, infuse it and rinse your sore teeth - it will relieve the pain.

Dig up the roots, wash and dry. Burdock root is thick, so it needs to be cut. Pour one tablespoon of dry crushed roots into two glasses of boiling water. Boil for ten minutes. Leave for two hours. Strain and drink half a glass three times a day 10-15 minutes before meals. When you drink a medicinal infusion before meals, the blood immediately absorbs it and distributes it throughout the body. You can drink a collection of burdock, wheatgrass and dandelion roots in equal proportions or one root at a time: a week - burdock, a week - dandelion, a week - wheatgrass.

Healing herbs

The Lord gives us all the herbs we need. There is no need to buy foreign herbs or go to China or anywhere else for them.

Quinoa is added to the soup. When we were kids, we fried it and ate it with potatoes. The squash is used in soup instead of cabbage. Shiritsa seeds are used to make flour and are added when pickling cucumbers.

Wormwood stays close to people. If your temperature rises or your bladder becomes inflamed, take it. It is also a strong sedative. Wormwood relieves all bruises, bruises, and tumors. Treats alcoholism, thrombophlebitis, paralysis, stroke, pain in the pelvic area. Wormwood (or Chernobyl) treats epilepsy, impotence in men, nervous and female diseases, pulmonary tuberculosis, stomach and intestinal cancer and sarcoma.

The cocklebur grows along the banks of rivers. Treats cancerous tumors, nephritis, male diseases. In China everyone drinks it, and there is much less cancer there.

Wild meadow geranium treats angina pectoris, osteochondrosis, rectal cancer, and stones. Tatarnik treats skin cancer, hemorrhoids. Thistle cures breast cancer.

I make infusions of 14-15 herbs, and each herb will find where there is inflammation, stagnation, swelling, and will heal. But you can drink one herb at a time.

I always advise everyone to collect a bag of knotweed. This can be done in the fall. In four to five days the grass will dry out and there will be half a bag of it. And as soon as you get a little sick, drink it. Knotweed, or knotweed, grows near every home and has filled all the paths. Last year there was a drought, everything around Moscow dried up. But knotweed is not a staff. It has very nutritious seeds, birds feed on them. If it weren't for him, they would have died. It is popularly called grass-murava or goose grass. The Lord gives it to us.

If your back or joints hurt, it will expel all the salts. This herb is rich in silicon salts. It crushes stones in the gall bladder, bladder, and kidneys. He scratches and scratches these stones, they turn into sand, and in two or three months there are no stones. And the doctors are only surprised.

The avian knotweed treats tuberculosis, cystitis, kidneys, gastric ulcers, cholecystitis, rheumatism, obesity, nervous exhaustion, prostate adenoma in men, cancer. It has no contraindications.

Not only herbs heal, but also every tree. Rowan flowers even treat multiple sclerosis. Rowan drives bile and prevents the appearance of kidney stones. Reduces cholesterol, treats obesity, thyroid diseases. Rowan infusion and decoction help with cancer.

Viburnum vulgare treats malignant neoplasms of various localizations, cholelithiasis and urolithiasis, diathesis. You can mix it with honey and eat it. Even its seeds are useful. It can be used to make a tincture for breast cancer. Aspen helps men with prostatitis. Hawthorn heals the heart, birch - the buds, oak - the heart, alder - the intestines, pine - the lungs. All trees heal!

How to infuse herbs?

To prepare a medicinal infusion, take two tablespoons with the top of the herbal mixture (mix the herbs in equal proportions), pour into a porcelain or enamel teapot and pour two glasses of boiling water. Cover with a lid or towel and let sit for 30 minutes. Strain through two or three layers of gauze or a strainer and drink half a glass three times a day 10-15 minutes before meals. It is necessary to brew the infusion in the morning every day, since drinking yesterday’s infusion is useless.

The course of treatment is one to one and a half months. You must drink the same herbs for a month. Herbs truly heal, but they heal slowly, imperceptibly, gently. If a person were immediately cured, it might not be good for him. The Lord tells us this: show diligence and patience.

To avoid addiction, after a month of herbal treatment, rest for five days and then drink more. An advanced disease should be treated for three to five months. It is better not to brew herbs in a thermos - it contains dead water. Previously, teapots were used throughout Russia. You can drink the infusion both warm and cold. But you need to brew it every day, once in the morning - for the whole day.

There are poisonous herbs, they also serve humans - hemlock, datura, but they are infused with vodka and drunk in drops. There are harmless herbs - like knotweed. There are herbs that are slightly toxic, such as celandine, tansy, and wormwood. They can be infused only one teaspoon per two glasses of boiling water.

When to collect herbs?

Herbs are like people: they sleep at night. In the morning they wake up, wash themselves with dew and take God’s energy. A person blooms from 18 to 45 years old, gives birth to children, creates. It’s the same with herbs: when they bloom, they are the strongest. Therefore, they are collected when they bloom. And when they bloomed, they gave all their strength to the seeds. It is better to collect herbs with prayer on a clear sunny day after dew until two or three o'clock in the afternoon. Dry in the shade in a ventilated area, preferably in the attic. If the grass dries out in the sun, it will give back the Divine energy that it took.

Grind the dried herbs by hand. You cannot store grass in plastic bags, it suffocates and loses half of its properties. Can be stored in paper bags, linen bags, glass jars. Herbs are stored for a year, maximum two years.

When to collect leaves?

In early spring. First, the buds of birch, aspen, and poplar are collected. As soon as the leaves have blossomed, you need to collect the leaves of birch, aspen, and hazel until Trinity. When the ground has thawed and nettles, dandelions, celandines, and celandines have begun to grow, they must be collected. Leaves are collected before flowering. The seeds of many herbs are also collected.
