August will come soon, and with it a healing miracle of nature will bloom - marsh cinquefoil. A meter-long plant seeking moisture on the banks of rivers and lakes, swampy meadows and even in the tundra. The leaves are long, serrated, the cinquefoil indicated its place in medicine with the shape of a flower - a purple star.
Scope
The use of cinquefoil is quite wide: it is famous both in folk and professional medicine. A strong immunomodulator has a hemostatic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory effect. Less commonly used as a diaphoretic, astringent, tonic. Cinquefoil, which is indicated for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, polyarthritis, hepatitis and other diseases, is quite an amazing plant. For example, a decoction for gargling from cinquefoil with sore throat acts as a local antibiotic. The first signs of mastitis, vaginitis, vulvovaginitis and colpitis require the use of a decoction externally. In the treatment of neoplasms, in addition to decoction, tincture is also used. It is also taken for thrombophlebitis, internal bleeding, pulmonary tuberculosis and as a tonic for work.hearts.
For the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, a complex of tincture and decoction will help.
I am pleasantly pleased with the fact that, using marsh cinquefoil, treatment can be carried out with virtually no dangerous consequences.
