Recently, the once forgotten medicinal herb ortilia lopsided, better known as the upland uterus, began to emerge from oblivion and become increasingly popular in folk medicine. I must say that this is an old remedy, tested for centuries. The upland uterus is not the only popular name for this herb.
In different regions of our country it is called differently: women's grass, hare s alt, Baba's stavnik, wine grass, etc. This is not a complete list. In traditional medicine, this herb is called ortilia lopsided, by the way, it should be noted that doctors treat it ambiguously and very wary. The thing is that science has not yet fully explored its effectiveness.
Perennial plant, belongs to the heather family. It grows in forests with a cold and temperate climate. Especially common in Siberia, Altai. This medicinal plant has long, creeping stems from which annual branches diverge. The leaves have a rounded wedge-shaped base, the leaves are ovoid with pointed tops on short and thinpetioles. Very small, light green flowers are collected in one brush. The flowers are all turned in one direction - hence the name ortilia is one-sided. In dry coniferous forests, this grass often forms dense thickets.
It is interesting that when transplanted to a garden plot, it takes root very well, does not require special care, and at the same time retains its healing properties of ortilia lopsided. You can read reviews about it on the Internet. Gardeners who have been growing this plant on their site for many years recommend planting it away from garden crops. The thing is that vegetables require additional fertilizer, and any medicinal plants do not tolerate this, including ortilia lopsided. The upland uterus after fertilization can become stronger externally, it will grow faster, its leaves will become larger. But fertilizer will change its chemical composition. If you use such plants for the manufacture of medicines, then instead of the expected benefits, you will harm your body.
The healing properties of the upland uterus (ortilia lopsided) were well known to the Old Believers, who first settled in Altai. They were noble herbalists and knew perfectly well how to reveal the healing properties of herbs, berries and roots. The recipes that were created by the Old Believers are a valuable heritage for modern herbalists and pharmacists. Grass is harvested by hand at a strictly defined time in accordance with a special calendar, dried and processed near the place of collection.
