Caucasian hellebore (lat. Helleborus caucasicus) or Winterberry belongs to the Buttercup family (lat. Ranunculaceae).
This is a perennial herbaceous plant up to 50 cm in height with a short, creeping, branched brown rhizome. The leaves are large, basal on long petioles, palmately dissected, stem leaves are sessile, and, as a rule, do not die in winter.
The flowers are also large, with 5-6 petals, painted in pale green, greenish-yellow and even carmine-red tones.
The petals are modified into nectaries, shaped like a postal horn, in the amount of 5-12. The number of stamens and pistils is indefinite. In the south, hellebores bloom from December to March, in the middle zone - in April-May for 18-25 days.
The fruit has numerous leaflets, the seeds are oblong. The plant is extremely poisonous! There are about 20 species of the hellebore genus, each of which has a number of varieties. Sometimes there are even interspecific hybrids; garden varieties have now been bred.
Very often they are planted in the shade of trees, since sunlight “kills” them. Thanks to their representative appearance, they look great and delight with their soft colors. Gardeners especially appreciate their frost resistance, winter and early spring flowering, and evergreen foliage.
Hellebore is common in Central and Southern Europe, in Asia Minor; a huge number of its species grow in the Balkans. It is extremely rare to find it in northern latitudes. Several species are found in southwestern Ukraine - in the middle part of the Dniester basin, the Carpathians and Transcaucasia.
Preparation and storage of hellebore
The great value of Caucasian hellebore is its rhizome. This part of the plant is harvested in mid-autumn. The rhizomes are dug up, after which the part that was above the ground is cut off. It is necessary to wash the “blanks” only in cold water.
The rhizome is dried only in the open air and always in the shade. The maximum temperature at which all the beneficial and medicinal properties of this plant are preserved is 45°C. As soon as the rhizome dries, it acquires a dark brown color. The section color is pale pink. Has an unpleasant odor.
The preparations can be stored for 2 years. If it is longer, Caucasian hellebore loses its valuable properties. It contains allergenic pollen, so it is advisable to wear a respiratory mask when preparing it.
Biochemical composition
Rhizomes and roots contain cardiac glycosides: desglycogel, corelborin K and corelborin P, steroid saponins, fatty oil, etc. The bioside hellebrine, alkaloids, ranunculin, protoanemonin were isolated from the roots of hellebore reddened. Hellebore glycosides, classified as sterol saponins, are highly soluble in water.
Hellebore - application, medicinal properties
There are a lot of legends about the Caucasian hellebore; it is believed that it can heal almost any disease. Caucasian hellebore root has been used since ancient times. Mention of this plant is found even in the works of Avicenna; it was used not only in Eastern medicine, but also in Eastern European and Tibetan medicine.
However, recently many articles have appeared about its dangers associated with toxicity. Indeed, hellebore is a poisonous plant; cardiac glycosides in its composition can cause a toxic effect in large doses.
In addition, hellebore roots have calming and diuretic properties. Preparations based on this plant are indicated for kidney disease, chronic heart failure, for the treatment of hemorrhoids, pleurisy and tuberculosis. Hellebore is used externally to treat tumors. Moreover, it helps cure paralysis and is effective for joint pain.
Due to its diuretic and laxative effects, hellebore is indicated for cleansing the intestines. Moreover, it effectively removes sand and small stones from the urinary tract.
Various preparations containing hellebore are prescribed to powerfully cleanse the body of toxic toxins, excess waste and all kinds of radioactive elements. The recommended course of treatment can be up to 12 months.
The excellent effect on the joints allows this plant to be prescribed for osteochondrosis of the spine. Pain syndromes stop in the second or third month of use. With further use, inflammation is relieved, water-salt balance is restored, as a result of which salts are removed from the joints.
Caucasian hellebore is used for headaches after injuries and concussions. Treats dementia, melancholy, chronic migraine. A pronounced effect on the nervous system - used to treat insomnia neuroses, and in case of epilepsy, reduces the number of seizures (in this case, used with lavender).
Hellebore normalizes all metabolic functions, completely cleanses the body of waste and toxins and is an excellent means for losing weight, without necessarily following a grueling diet. Body weight is normalized: fat people lose weight, and thin people gain normal weight.
At the initial stage of treatment, hellebore has a laxative effect on the body. This is a normal process of cleaning the gastrointestinal tract. When the laxative effect stops, it means that the intestinal cleansing process has ended.
Then the blood purification will begin. Exacerbation of chronic diseases may begin. During the period of exacerbation, the dosage of hellebore should be slightly reduced and, in parallel with taking hellebore, according to the aggravated disease, take herbal teas.
If the fact that hellebore herb is mentioned in all reference books as a poisonous plant does not stop you, try including it in your daily diet. In folk medicine, there are several ways to take hellebore.
Cold infusion: A measured dose of hellebore is placed in a glass in the evening, poured with 50 ml of boiled water at room temperature. In the morning, this infusion is stirred and drunk with sediment 1 hour before meals. Take 1 time per day.
Reception in dry form: In the morning, a measured dose of hellebore is placed in the mouth and washed down with water at room temperature 1-2 hours before meals. Take 1 time per day.
Hellebore with honey: A measured dose of hellebore is mixed with 1/3 teaspoon of honey and eaten before bed.
You can use any of the reception methods. If a laxative effect is expected from taking hellebore, then it is better to take hellebore with honey.
Hellebore is sold in the form of dried rhizomes and roots crushed into powder. Start taking hellebore with an initial dose of 50 mg (at the tip of a knife), every 10 days the dosage is increased by 50 mg and gradually increased to 150-300 mg. At a dosage of 150-300 mg continue to be taken for 6 months.
Weakened people with chronic diseases, as well as those whose body reacts violently to taking hellebore, should begin treatment with an even smaller dose (10-12 mg) and not increase the dosage to 150-300 mg, but stop at minimal doses (25-50 mg ).
The hellebore manufacturer must include instructions for use, as well as a measuring spoon. It is necessary to follow the instructions and, before starting treatment, consult a doctor.
To improve liver and heart function, take 50 mg of dry powder (¼ mustard spoon) 2 hours before meals, once a day. The course of treatment is determined depending on the course of the disease and can range from one to 10 months.
To cleanse the urinary tract and normalize stool, it is recommended to eat 50 mg of Caucasian hellebore powder in combination with honey before bed. In addition to its main purpose, this treatment perfectly cleanses the blood and relieves various skin diseases.
You can also prepare a healing decoction from the rhizomes. To do this, take 0.5 teaspoon of crushed roots and fill them with 500 ml of water. Boil the mixture for at least an hour, and then it should be taken 3 times a day, 1 teaspoon.
Caucasian hellebore for weight loss
If the goal of taking hellebore is to lose weight, then 6 months of taking it is enough. When losing weight with Helleborus caucasicus, you should limit spicy and fatty foods and add as many fresh fruits and vegetables to your menu as possible. They will help normalize metabolism, without which it is impossible to lose excess weight.
If the purpose of the intake is complete cleansing of the body, treatment of chronic diseases, then take a break for 1 month and after that take hellebore again, starting with the minimum dose (50 mg) and gradually increasing the dose to 150-300 mg. Thus, after a month's break, hellebore is still taken for 6 months.
Carefully! There are contraindications!
Treatment with hellebore is contraindicated in case of myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease, atrioventricular block, aortic defects, paroxysmal tachycardia, endocarditis, severe liver damage, during pregnancy and lactation, and children under 14 years of age.
Since hellebore is a very poisonous plant, the dosage should be strictly observed. The maximum recommended daily dose for an adult is 300 mg.
Before starting treatment, consult a doctor, and carry out treatment under the supervision of a doctor!

Hellebore has long been used in folk medicine as a cardiac and diuretic, due to the plant’s ability to correct serotonin metabolism. How to take hellebore preparations correctly so as not to harm your health, for what diseases and in what dosage will be discussed further.Description of the plant
Hellebore is a fairly small genus of the buttercup family, which has about 10–20 species. This low perennial plant (its height rarely exceeds 50 cm) has a beautiful bush shape and dense dark green leaves. The hellebore flower has a diameter of 4–6 cm.The plant got its name due to the fact that it is not afraid of frost and snow (thus, the flowering time of hellebore coincides with light spring frosts).
An important feature of hellebores is their need for forest soil, which is the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and beneficial microorganisms.
Where does hellebore grow?
Most species of this plant grow in Southern and Central Europe, Asia Minor, as well as in the Caucasus and the Carpathians. Hellebore grows on the edges of deciduous forests, in sunny meadows and mountain slopes, as well as on rocky screes and in river valleys.Collection and storage
For medicinal purposes, the underground part of the hellebore is used, namely the roots and rhizomes, the harvesting of which begins in early autumn (immediately after the seeds fall).The dug up roots of the hellebore are cleaned of damaged or rotten raw materials, while the above-ground part of the plant must be removed (leaves and flowers are cut off with a knife). The roots are thoroughly washed in cold water, after which culling is carried out again, during which thick and large roots are cut into strips 0.5 cm thick, which ensures uniform drying of the raw materials.
The roots are dried under a canopy (it is important that the place where the raw materials are dried is well ventilated). In addition, you can dry the raw materials in special ovens or dryers, the temperature in which should not exceed 40 degrees (otherwise the glycosides contained in the raw materials will be destroyed).
Properly dried raw materials are distinguished by a brownish outer color and a light cream color at the break. Hellebore root has an unpleasant odor and bitter taste. Dried raw materials are stored in tightly closed glass containers or in bags made of natural material. Shelf life is three years.
Hellebore varieties
It should be noted that all types of hellebore are very similar in appearance, as well as properties and contraindications for use.In medical practice, three varieties of hellebore are mainly used:
1.

The benefits and harms of hellebore
Benefits of hellebore
- Accelerates scarring of ulcers and effectively eliminates pain.
- Clears the intestines of mucus and fecal stones, which significantly improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. The result: the appearance of appetite in patients, improvement of well-being and mood.
- Normalizes the functioning of the thyroid gland (dissolves nodes and compactions of the thyroid gland).
- Normalizes hormonal balance.
- Clears blood vessels from cholesterol plaques.
- Normalizes the functioning of the central nervous system, thereby increasing efficiency and concentration.
- Eliminates headaches of various etiologies: for example, hellebore relieves spasms, enriches the brain with oxygen, and improves blood circulation.
- Stimulates defenses.
- Normalizes the functioning of the reproductive system: hellebore preparations fight infertility, which is caused by inflammatory processes.
- Improves heart function.
It should be noted that in the first six months of treatment with hellebore preparations, the so-called primary cleansing occurs in the body, accompanied by a cessation of hair loss and increased growth and strengthening of nails. With prolonged use, hellebore, normalizing intestinal function, loses its laxative effect, but still continues to cleanse the body of various harmful substances, thereby renewing and purifying the composition of the blood.
The undeniable advantage of hellebore is that this plant is not addictive - that is, it does not have a narcotic effect.
Important! Hellebore preparations can contribute to the exacerbation of chronic diseases, which is a completely natural step on the path to recovery.
Regular intake of plant preparations allows you to prolong youth by improving the health of the body.
Damage from hellebore
The danger of using hellebore is that the cardiac glycosides contained in the plant gradually accumulate in the body and, if used incorrectly, can cause irreparable harm. In addition, it is necessary to remember that hellebore has a strong local effect, so it can irritate the skin, cause vomiting and diarrhea. Therefore, it is extremely important to adhere to the dosage prescribed by your doctor.Treatment using hellebore
Hellebore root
The rhizome and root of hellebore are mainly used for medicinal purposes, because these parts of the plant contain glycosides that have an effect not only on the central, but also on the peripheral nervous system. In addition, glycosides of this group enhance the contractile capabilities of the myocardium. In general, the range of applications of hellebore preparations, the basis of which is the underground part of the plant, crushed to a powdery state, is extremely wide: these are nervous and mental disorders, disorders of the gastrointestinal tract and heart, oncological and gynecological diseases.

Applications of hellebore
Hellebore is used externally to treat wounds and ulcers. So, with hardened fistulas, lotions and hellebore powder help open the hardening. In addition, a kind of wick can be made from the root of the plant, which is inserted into the fistula and left for several days, after which the wick is removed along with hardening.The analgesic and antispasmodic properties of hellebore are widely used in the treatment of joints, migraines, and paralysis.
A vinegar decoction of the plant helps eliminate tinnitus (to do this, just drop a few drops of the decoction into each ear) and strengthen your hearing in general, while using the powder you can relieve toothache (you rub the hellebore powder on your gums and rinse your mouth).
Hellebore preparations strengthen vision and give it sharpness (hellebore is often included in eye medicines).
The plant is also useful for urolithiasis, as it removes bile, mucus, sand and stones from the body.
How to take hellebore preparations?
The course of treatment with hellebore preparations is designed for one year, while during treatment a gradual increase in dosage is indicated, and then its decrease. After six months of use, you should take a break for one month, after which hellebore begins to be taken again with a minimum dose, which subsequently increases.A six-month course of treatment is possible, which is preventive and immunomodulatory in nature - after all, hellebore, effectively cleansing the intestines, normalizes its functioning, improving the functioning of the entire body as a whole.
Dosage
Important! The dosage of hellebore preparations, as well as the dosage regimen, is prescribed exclusively by a doctor after a medical examination and medical history.A small dose (about 50 - 100 mg per day) is indicated for people who have recently suffered a serious illness (this could be a stroke or heart attack), as well as for patients in the early stages of hypertension.
With systematic intake of hellebore in a dose not exceeding 150 mg per day, sand and stones will come out in two to three months.
A daily dose ranging from 100 to 200 mg is safe. The indicated dose is taken once a day - in the morning an hour before meals. Precisely dosed hellebore powder is poured onto the tongue and washed down with water.
Scheme of the annual course of treatment with hellebore
The starting dose is 50 mg (or one scoop) of hellebore powder. Then, every 10 days, the dose is increased by 50 mg until it reaches 200 mg per day (or 6 scoops). At this dosage, the drug is taken for six months.
Important! For intestinal disorders, the dose should be reduced to one or two scoops (this dosage is maintained until stool normalizes).
After six months, a month-long break is taken, after which hellebore intake begins again with the minimum daily dose, that is, 50 mg (the dose is gradually increased to 200 mg per day).
Children from 7 to 14 years old need to reduce the dosage by 2.5 times!
Important! Deviation from the above dosages is strictly prohibited, as it can lead to poisoning.
Ways to use hellebore
Decoction
It is recommended to rub hellebore decoction into areas affected by rheumatism and osteochondrosis. The following decoction will save you from joint pain: 0.5 tsp. Brew the roots of the plant with half a liter of boiling water, after which the raw material is boiled for 30 minutes in a water bath. The decoction removed from the water bath is infused for 15 minutes and filtered. This decoction can be taken orally, a teaspoon three times a day, half an hour before eating. It will help cure cough, pleurisy, tuberculosis. Infusion
Mainly used as compresses or rinses. Internal administration is possible when combined with infusions or decoctions of herbal teas.Brew 8 g of dried hellebore roots with a glass of boiling water. The infusion is wrapped and infused for 2 hours, and then filtered. Sore spots are treated with this infusion twice a day.
Tincture
It is used mainly as a means to stimulate hair growth.50 g of dry hellebore rhizomes should be boiled in a glass of wine vinegar (the volume of liquid should evaporate by half), then strain and add the strained infusion of marshmallow root to the mixture (25 g of the raw material is poured into 200 ml of cold water and left for an hour). It is recommended to rub the resulting mixture twice a day on bald spots and areas of intense hair loss.
Powder
Taking hellebore powder is indicated for toothache, as well as at the initial stage of hypertension. In addition, the powder is an excellent laxative, which can be taken along with honey (5 mg of powder mixed with 0.5 tsp of honey).Hellebore oil
Indications for use:- lipid metabolism disorder;
- obesity;
- accumulation of metabolic products;
- joint diseases;
- slagging of the body;
- oncological diseases;
- decreased immunity;
- liver and gall diseases;

When taken orally by adults and children over 9 years of age, 20 drops of oil are dissolved under the tongue one hour before or two hours after meals.
Important! When using hellebore oil internally, a decrease in appetite may occur.
Externally, the oil is used in the treatment of runny nose and sinusitis: for example, the oil is dripped into the nose, 4 to 5 drops twice a day, until the symptoms of the disease are eliminated. Children over 7 years of age need to reduce the dosage by 2 times (nose drops once a day).
Additionally, hellebore oil can be used as a rub for joint pain. In such cases, a 10-day course of treatment with oil is indicated, which is rubbed into problem areas.
Hellebore in fiber
The dietary supplement, whose components are hellebore and fiber, deserves special attention. Hellebore in fiber helps maintain the balance of all metabolic processes occurring in the body. The wide range of uses of this supplement and its effectiveness are due to the presence of components that affect not a specific disease, but directly affect homeostasis. The properties of hellebore were described above, so let us dwell in more detail on such a component of the supplement as fiber.
It is the fiber that enters the body with natural plant foods that is the dietary fiber that plays an important role in the process of maintaining the normal functioning of the entire digestive tract. The fact is that dietary fiber is not digested, and therefore helps maintain tone and, accordingly, motility of the digestive tract. In addition, such fibers adsorb toxins, thereby preventing their absorption.
Action of the additive:
1.
Normalization of metabolism, which leads to excess weight loss.
2.
Normalization of intestinal function (first of all, we are talking about eliminating constipation).
3.
Preventing the stagnation of bile, which, firstly, prevents the formation of stones directly in the gallbladder, and secondly, promotes the removal of various small stones both from the kidneys and from the urinary tract.
4.
Optimizing heart function by increasing blood flow to the heart muscle.
5.
Normalization of the functioning of the nervous system, which has a positive effect on sleep, performance and psycho-emotional state of a person.
6.
Stimulation of the immune system (for example, hellebore in fiber increases nonspecific resistance to various infectious diseases).
7.
Removal of harmful substances, including toxins, radionuclides, etc.
Reception regimen:
1.
1 – 10 days – 0.5 tsp.
2.
10 – 20 days – 1 tsp. without top.
3.
20 – 30 days – 1 tsp. with top.
4.
30 – 40 days – 1 tsp. with top and another 0.5 tsp.
5.
40 – 50 days – 1 tsp. with top and another 1 tsp. without top.
6.
50 – 60 days – 1 tbsp. without top.
7.
60 day – up to 6 months – 1 tbsp. without top.
After six months of taking hellebore with fiber, you need to take a break for one month, after which the dosage regimen is repeated. The general course of treatment is one year.
Features of application:
- The plant is poisonous, so a necessary condition for the use of hellebore in fiber is strict adherence to the dosage and dosage regimen.
- While taking this dietary supplement, it is recommended to include foods that contain large amounts of potassium and calcium in your diet.
- During the fiber intake course, you should drink at least 1.5 - 2 liters of liquid per day.
Contraindications to the use of hellebore
Hellebore preparations are contraindicated for:- individual intolerance;
- pregnancy;
- myocardial infarction;
- hypersensitivity to glycosides;
- ischemia;
- the presence of large (about 7 cm or more) gallstones;
- atrioventricular block;
- extrasystolic arrhythmia;
- paroxysmal tachycardia.
Hellebore and pregnancy
Hellebore preparations are contraindicated for both pregnant and nursing mothers due to the fact that glycosides that enhance serotonin metabolism have an adverse effect on Does white honey exist in nature and, if so, why is it white? Or is this some kind of marketing ploy and the work of a person? These questions arise for almost everyone who encounters this type of honey for the first time.
This is understandable. When thinking about honey, most often we imagine it in the form of a viscous mass of yellowish-amber color or brown shades of varying saturation. White honey is much less common. But still, it exists, and there are quite a few known varieties of white honey.
What is white honey? To this question, it is quite logical to hear the answer that this is nothing more than ordinary natural honey, but only white. But why honey is white is a more complicated question. Does it immediately become snow-white after the bees collect nectar, or does some magical transformation happen to it later?
In fact, white honey varieties are obtained by collecting nectar only from a certain type of honey-bearing plants - these are fragrant flowers of linden, white acacia, raspberry and sweet clover, lilac flowers of fireweed, lilac-violet flowers of alfalfa, camel thorn and white clover, cotton, psoralea drupeta (ak-kurai) and sainfoin.
The flowers of honey plants can be of completely different colors, and this does not in the least prevent bees from collecting nectar from these plants to obtain light honey. Moreover, the product does not immediately acquire a white color. Initially, fresh honey may be light yellow, with a greenish tint, or transparent. And, already candied, it becomes white.
To say that it takes on a dazzling white color would be incorrect. Most often it is diluted with yellowish-grayish or other shades. After crystallization, the product does not lose its taste and quality and even becomes more useful.
In nature, white honey is not found so often, because it is a monofloral type of honey, that is, collected mainly from one type of plant. To obtain such a product, you need to either find crops of the appropriate agricultural crops (sainfoin, sweet clover, rapeseed, cotton), or find such honey plants in nature in the form of wild plants. In addition, the necessary honey plants do not bloom in the required quantity every year.

White honey varieties
So, white honey is not just one type. This name combines various varieties of honey that have a white (or conditionally white) color. They are different in their composition, smell, color, taste and properties. And these features are due to the nectar of flowers that bees collect.
Some of them are ordinary varieties that bees produce everywhere, for example, sweet clover and rapeseed honey. The best in terms of healing properties, taste and composition belong to unique varieties - these are raspberry honey, pure linden honey, angelica, white acacia and fireweed.
Raspberry honey
Raspberry honey is a rare variety of white honey with a delicate and soft taste (literally melts in your mouth) and the aroma of a raspberry flower. This variety is rarely found in its pure form, although raspberries grow everywhere. But when this plant blooms in gardens and forests, bees simply do not notice other honey plants (noted by experienced beekeepers).
Fresh raspberry honey is light with a golden hue. During crystallization, its structure and color changes (becomes creamy). This delicious honey is considered a unique product due to its healing properties. They treat colds, respiratory diseases, nervous diseases and strengthen the immune system.
White linden honey
This type of honey is collected from the flowering linden tree, which is the first in the huge list of honey plants. Fresh linden honey has a special, slightly pungent aroma and specific taste. In appearance it is light, yellow-amber, sometimes with a greenish tint, liquid and transparent. It crystallizes well and quickly becomes hard, forming large or small crystals.
Honey receives all its beneficial and healing properties from linden blossom, a proven remedy for colds. When we get sick, we immediately think of linden honey, which has a diaphoretic effect and fights colds, infections and fever.
White clover honey
White sweet clover is a valuable honey plant that provides bees with pollen and nectar. Sweet clover honey is characterized by a delicate vanilla aroma and sweet taste. This variety is distinguished by a large number of microelements. And it is not in vain that many people consider sweet clover honey to be the most healing and delicious. Sweet clover honey stores well, crystallizes slowly, gradually becoming viscous and white.
Rapeseed honey
This type of white honey is collected from the cultivated fodder crop - rapeseed. The taste of rapeseed honey is cloying, richly sweet with a noticeable bitterness and a pungent odor, which disappears after pumping.
In a word, honey is more for everyone. And, although it has similar properties to sweet clover honey, it is in many ways inferior to it in quality, and it does not last long (it can quickly turn sour). But for treating the heart and for its ability to remove harmful toxins from the body, it is considered the best.

Alfalfa honey
Honey obtained from lilac and purple alfalfa flowers attracts with an unusual taste and aroma. Once crystallized, it turns white and has the consistency of soft butter.
It is used for problems with the stomach and intestines and as a general tonic.
Fresh cotton honey has a white tint, an airy consistency of sour cream or butter and an unusual taste: sweet, but not cloying, tart, with a high content of glucose and oil, which gives it some fat content. This variety does not have a strong floral aroma. Its taste is fully revealed only after sugaring and crystallization.
White cotton honey is used to treat sore throat, cough, chronic tonsillitis, and is used as an emollient containing large quantities of vitamins, nutrients and oil, in cosmetology.
Honey from white acacia flowers
White acacia honey has a delicate sweet taste and fragrant aroma. This variety is difficult to confuse with others (it can remain liquid until spring). Acacia honey is initially very liquid, transparent, colorless and water-like. It does not take a long time to be candied due to its high fructose content and low amount of sucrose. When crystallized, it looks like a white fine-grained mass.
When collecting honey from flowering white acacia, which is very common, a pure product is obtained, practically without any impurities. The usefulness of this variety is also due to the fact that it is during the flowering of acacia that components whose biological activity is very high are collected in the nectar.
In folk medicine, they treat diabetes (insulin is not required for its absorption), nervous disorders and eye diseases; white acacia honey also normalizes the hormonal balance in the body of women. It does not cause allergies and is used to treat children.
sainfoin honey
Sainfoin honey is a valuable variety of white honey, very fragrant, with a delicately sweet taste. It gradually turns from a transparent yellowish-golden color to white. It candied very slowly, over time turning into a thick, soft mass with a creamy tint.
Sainfoin honey strengthens the body and immunity, increases performance, and is also a very good antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent.
Fireweed honey
Fireweed honey is a rare variety of white honey. When fresh, it has a greenish tint and resembles melted lard or cream. It quickly sugars, forming snowflake-like crystals on the surface.
In Rus', this particular type of honey collected from fireweed (Ivan tea) was loved for its healing properties. Rich in vitamins, ascorbic acid, antioxidants, tannins, it was and is used in cosmetology and folk medicine.
Taiga white honey
Taiga honey is collected from plants that grow in the taiga on soils rich in mineral composition - fireweed, raspberries, mint, angelica, rapeseed, sweet clover, meadowsweet, sage, forest geranium and others.
Treatment with hellebore
Hellebore perfectly cleanses the blood and does a number of other useful things in the body. I think that it is best for them to be treated for benign tumors, so as not to poison the body with strong poisons. Or, after treatment with strong poisons is completed, for the purpose of prevention, take an annual course of taking hellebore. It will help cleanse the body of previous poisons and further restore it. Read the information below and decide whether and how to use it. Personally, I completed a 9-month preventative course (I took a mustard spoon of hellebore with honey in the evening) and was very pleased. It perfectly destroys pathogenic microbes, fungi (herpes), stimulates bile secretion, heals the prostate gland - I experienced all this myself.
Hellebore, winterweed (helleborus) is a genus of perennial herbaceous plants of the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae). Several types of hellebore grow in Russia. In the southwestern part there is reddish hellebore, in the Caucasus there is Caucasian hellebore, speckled hellebore and Abkhazian hellebore.
All parts of the plant are poisonous.
The roots and rhizomes of hellebore are harvested in the fall; they contain glycosides that are potent on the heart. The presence of plant poisons - alkaloids - explains its toxicity. And this also indicates that it can be used in oncology along with spotted hemlock, tobacco, aconite and others like them. I’ll mention right away: the stronger the smell of hellebore, the better its phytoncidal, and therefore antitumor properties.
Hellebore has thin black roots emerging from one rhizome, like the head of an onion, and only these roots are used. It grows in dry places.
Due to the fact that hellebore is poisonous and emits fumes harmful to humans, people who collect it, in order to protect themselves from its harmful effects (the smell of it causes heaviness in the head), should eat garlic and drink wine before collecting it.
The best hellebore is medium: neither young nor old, neither thick nor thin. It is ashen in color, breaks easily, is not too dense, and inside it there is something like a cobweb; it tastes sharp and stings the tongue.
Actions, properties and applications according to ancient sources
Hellebore dissolves, thins and strongly cleanses, so that it even eats dead meat if you smear dead and rotten meat in a wound in a mixture with vinegar.
Dissolves black bile and mucus. Therefore, it is useful for the spillage of black bile and its predominance and removes it from the entire body without unpleasant sensations (this is the blackness that we see when cleansing the liver). It also removes yellow bile and mucus and any excess admixed with the blood from the remotest parts of the body and from the skin. For this reason, it can cure vitiligo (by normalizing liver, blood and skin function).
One of the amazing properties of hellebore is that it changes the nature in the body and makes it renewed, youthful.
Has laxative properties. Helps with epilepsy, melancholy, dementia, and chronic migraines.
With hardened fistulas, hellebore tears off the hardening. A kind of wick is made from it, which is put into the fistula and left there for several days. When the wick is removed, it turns out that the hellebore has torn off the hardening with its burning power.
Hellebore helps against paralysis and joint pain. If you rinse your mouth with vinegar, it stops toothache.
Hellebore is very useful for tumors in the intestines and bladder and drives menstruation and urine.
It is suitable for men and masculine women, as well as for strong men and young men with a body rich in juices and full of blood, but not suitable for plump and loose people. This is a very important note and indicates that thin people should also take it with caution.
It is better to take hellebore in April, and then in October and November, but only before this you should avoid rough food and thick drinks for three days and not indulge in entertainment and amusements. After evening prayer, the patient should induce vomiting two or three times and then take hellebore.
A good way to use it is considered to be the following: take the small petioles growing at the root, moisten them with a little water, peel them, dry them in the shade and consume them by grinding and sifting. They give you to drink from 1.5 to 3 g at a time. It is best to drink it with celery and carrot seeds. In some cases, they give you up to 4.25 g.
It is said to be harmful to the kidneys and cause suffocation; 6 g of it causes convulsions. Its harmful effects are eliminated by marshmallow, parsley and savory.

An ointment based on hellebore and white cinquefoil has unique properties: it normalizes both hyper- and hypofunction of the thyroid gland. The same ointment is effective for some neoplasms: external tumors, mastopathy, nodular goiter.
Hellebore herb
Caucasian hellebore for weight loss acts as a cleanser in two ways: it normalizes metabolism and improves the digestive process. The expected result is obtained after one and a half to two months of regular use of hellebore herb, but for a sustainable effect it requires use for several months and even a year.
But there is a problem: the plant contains cardiac glycosides, which in large doses can aggravate chronic diseases and provoke serious consequences, even death.
There is also an opinion that weight loss occurs not as a result of cleansing the body, but as a result of intoxication and loss of appetite. In this regard, in some countries the distribution of the plant is officially prohibited, and its preparations are withdrawn from pharmacies. Some experts are also categorically against the use of the herb, because they believe that the dangers from it are greater than the real benefits.
Hellebore root
For treatment, hellebore root is most often used, where the active components are concentrated. Based on them, various medicines are produced - for the treatment of myocardium, diseases of the nervous system, including neuroses and epilepsy. Hellebore effectively cleanses the digestive organs and liver, removes sand from the kidneys, and removes toxins and radioactive dirt. It is prescribed for osteochondrosis of the spine, diseases of the blood and skin.
After the course of treatment, blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels normalize. The plant is useful for pulmonary ailments - bronchitis, asthma, tuberculosis; effective against tumors - fibroids, fibroids, adenomas, mastopathy.
The rhizome of Caucasian hellebore is rich in glycosides, which are used for heart failure, blood diseases, hemorrhoids, pleurisy, and tuberculosis. The root is beneficial in the treatment of paralysis, joint pain, tumors (externally).
The benefits of Caucasian hellebore for weight loss are due to the fact that it acts as a laxative and accelerates lipid metabolism.
- Preparations with hellebore cause a mild laxative effect, eliminate toxins and waste. This frees the body from excess fluid and swelling.
- By suppressing the feeling of hunger, breaking down fats and normalizing digestion, active weight loss occurs - without much stress on the part of the person who has decided to lose weight.
With regular use of this product over a month, weight decreases by 2 - 7 kg. Gradual, rather than sudden, weight loss has the advantage that the skin does not sag, stretch marks do not form, and hair does not fall out.
Cream gel hellebore
Hellebore cream-gel helps improve your figure by correcting body contours. The drug contains withanol, which increases the effectiveness of the main component. An ointment based on Caucasian hellebore for weight loss reduces fat deposits, eliminates swelling, improves the condition and appearance of skin damaged by cellulite.
The cream is applied after a shower, rubbing into steamed skin in a circular motion, preferably twice a day.
The second method of using the product is wrapping, when the skin lubricated with cream is wrapped in cellophane. The procedure is performed after a bath, the cream is kept for several hours. If possible, this time should be spent actively, for example, jogging or exercising.
Reviews of these methods of using hellebore call for fantastic results, in particular, weight loss of 20 kg in six months and even 28 kg in just three months.
Hellebore fiber
Hellebore fiber is a 30:1 mixture of fiber and hellebore. This concentration is considered absolutely safe and prevents an overdose of toxic components contained in hellebore roots. It is recommended for use for preventive purposes - to strengthen the immune system, increase the body's adaptive abilities, and normalize metabolic processes.
- The product is not a drug for medical use, but is actively used, thanks to the healing properties of the rhizome, in the treatment of the kidneys, heart, lungs, joints, for the treatment of diseases of the nerves, psyche, and increasing the tone and performance of the body.
This form of Caucasian hellebore is also used for weight loss. In this context, such properties as the ability to normalize metabolism and cholesterol levels, stimulate and cleanse the intestines, and remove salts and sand from the kidneys and liver are interesting.
Adults are recommended to take hellebore fiber once a day, half an hour to an hour before meals, with water. A ten-day regimen is recommended, when the dose increases from 1.5 g (half a teaspoon) in the first decade to 9.0 g (3 tsp) in the sixth decade. That is, every 10 days the dose is increased by 1.5 g.
After 2–3 months, the course of treatment is repeated. Along with fiber, it is recommended to take multivitamins, along with calcium and potassium supplements.
Contraindications for hellebore fiber are stomach ulcers, gallstone disease, enterocolitis, pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Honey and hellebore
Honey and hellebore are combined in the so-called dry administration of the drug. This is the simplest recipe for using Caucasian hellebore for weight loss. Honey is added to improve the taste and create a consistency acceptable for internal consumption.
As in other cases, the substance is taken in the morning; a spoonful of crushed mustard is mixed with a teaspoon of honey and eaten on an empty stomach. After some time, you can drink water.
When consuming hellebore, it is extremely important to adhere to the dosage. Treatment should begin with half, and only after ten days the dose should be increased to the full dose. After another ten days, you can add another half a mustard spoon of the substance.
After 30 days of use, a month's break is taken. During this period, it is useful to consume prebiotics, in particular those contained in lactic acid products.
Resumption of taking hellebore and honey follows a similar pattern, starting with half a dose. Such cycles must be carried out for 6–12 months a year until a lasting effect is achieved.
Pharmacodynamics
The pharmacodynamics of Caucasian hellebore for weight loss has been little studied, perhaps due to the fact that it is not considered a medical drug.

Effect of hellebore for weight loss
The beneficial properties of the herb were discovered a long time ago, during the time of Avicenna. The Persian healer knew that hellebore cleanses the blood, removes bile and pus from wounds, and actively used this knowledge in healing practice.
Today, the beneficial and harmful properties have been studied in more detail. It is known that the plant contains several groups of active substances, in particular:
- alkaloids;
- cardiac and flavonoid glycosides;
- saponins;
- coumarins.
The effect of Caucasian hellebore for weight loss is based on the fact that these substances reduce appetite, remove toxins, poisons, and excess water. Due to a strong but gentle cleansing of the gastrointestinal tract, normalization of digestive processes, metabolism and acceleration of lipid breakdown, the body gets rid of everything unnecessary and better perceives everything useful.
One of the positive effects of Caucasian hellebore for weight loss is that it does not cause the skin to “sag” or form wrinkles.
In addition to losing weight, the medicinal herb stimulates the exchange of serotonin in the brain, suppresses pathogens, strengthens defenses, reduces blood pressure and sugar. The herb is also known to have a preventive effect against cancer.
Hellebore treats such common joint diseases as arthritis, arthrosis, osteochondrosis, and removes sand from the liver and kidneys. However, if there are large stones in these organs, hellebore is dangerous to use.
Using Caucasian hellebore for weight loss during pregnancy
The use of hellebore for weight loss during pregnancy and lactation is not permitted. It should also not be used in preparation for conception.
Contraindications
Hellebore and its preparations can only be prescribed by a doctor. Self-medication with such herbs is unacceptable.
There is a whole list of contraindications to the use of Caucasian hellebore for weight loss:
- cardiovascular diseases (heart attack, tachycardia), liver, kidneys;
- the presence of ulcers, gastritis;
- exacerbation of chronic pathologies;
- pregnancy and preparation for conception, lactation;
- age up to 14 years;
- individual intolerance to components.
You should buy medicinal herbs from trusted places, from responsible suppliers who guarantee the quality of the product, proper procurement and storage of raw materials.
Side effects of Caucasian hellebore for weight loss
Glycosides contained in Caucasian hellebore for weight loss can worsen cardiac activity, as well as aggravate chronic diseases existing in the patient. Other side effects include swelling and symptoms characteristic of poisoning. If ignored, there is a risk of death.
Such consequences are possible with uncontrolled use of Caucasian hellebore for weight loss. By strictly observing dosages and treatment regimens, the patient protects himself from troubles. But if in this case side effects of Caucasian hellebore for weight loss appear, then the dose should be reduced or even stopped taking the drug.
Directions for use and doses
Since hellebore contains toxic substances, you should consult a doctor before using it, and then carefully follow the rules of administration. Otherwise, you can harm your health and even pose a threat to life.
When taking the infusion, it is prepared in the evening so that the concentration of active substances is maximum until the morning. The herb is poured with warm water, and the drink is filtered before drinking on an empty stomach. If the infusion has not been prepared in the evening, then in the morning the raw material is poured with boiling water and drunk strained after 15 minutes.
The course lasts six months. The dose at this time is increased gradually, according to specific recommendations. Next, you need a month's break. If necessary, a repeat course is carried out, which is carried out in the same way, gradually increasing the dosage.
