Surely many adherents of alternative medicine know that hellebore tincture gives an amazing healing effect, not only to people, but also to “our smaller brothers”. Is it really so? Of course, the above product of nature has positive properties. However, before considering the question of how hellebore tincture is useful, let's decide what this plant is.
What do we know about Hellebore
Hellebore is a perennial herbaceous representative of the flora belonging to the lily family. The plant, which has a rounded stem and thick roots, reaches a height of approximately one meter. The leaves of the hellebore have a large rounded shape, and they themselves are collected in inflorescences. The flowering period is in summer. On the territory of our country grows black, white, and hellebore Lobel.
All of the above variations of the plant have a real medicinal effect. Naturally, hellebore tincture has found wide application in non-traditional methods of treatment. Alcohol tincture has gained particular popularity among patients.
Chemicalcomposition
It should be noted that all parts of the plant in question are toxic! The he alth benefits are exclusively from the roots. As a rule, hellebore is collected near springs, on the banks of rivers, on the edges of the forest. Collection usually falls on the spring and autumn seasons. Experienced herbalists should be engaged in searching and digging up the plant. Hellebore roots contain a huge amount of useful components: amino alcohols that put the heart in order, alkaloids that normalize blood pressure, tannins that have a cleansing and anti-inflammatory effect. In addition, valuable minerals are present in the rhizome of the plant, such as: magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium.
Remember that hellebore tincture should be used exclusively externally, otherwise the risk of poisoning increases significantly.
Features of the workpiece
After the roots are dug out, they should be cleaned of clods of earth and dried on the street (for example, in a gazebo), taking care in advance that the sun's rays do not fall on the workpiece. To maximize the ease of use of the natural "medicine", the roots are crushed to a powdery consistency. Again, when performing this procedure, one should not forget about the toxicity of the plant: be sure to protect the face and respiratory tract with a gauze bandage. Otherwise, dust particles from the rhizome can penetrate the mucous organs of vision and nasopharynx, which will lead to severe sneezing, and this is fraught with the development of nasalbleeding. It is recommended to store dried raw materials in cloth bags in a room with ventilation. The shelf life of the product is three years.
