He's defeated the commoners
It has been widely used and appreciated in folk medicine for centuries. It is responsible for the large amounts of various essential oils and bioactive ingredients found in the plant, such as flavonoids and triterpenes. A prominent Roman naturalist, Pliny the Elder, who lived in the years 2379, was able to inhale the smoke from the thickened leaves of the potato, which was an effective remedy for dry and coughing coughs. However, before the war, the famous A. Potocka family wrote about the hot flowers at the foot of the flowers, whether they were produced by glaciers in the middle of the year, and the snow had fallen over the years.
He conquered the common characteristics
It is not known to date that common garlic has medicinal properties for cough, bronchitis and asthma disorders. At the same time, it stimulates the movement of the spleen, which makes it easier to swallow. The addition of flavonoids in the plant helps to reduce the tension of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity and throat, thus reducing their irritation. This results in constipation and freezing of the remaining secretions.
The leaves of the vine
As I have already mentioned, the medicinal raw material is both the leaves and the buds of the pomegranate flowers. However, the former are usually more preferred, especially for coating and pulling, while the flowers exhibit stronger pollinating activity. The best properties are those young but already well-developed leaves, such as those that are free of stains and also without stems. In order to dry them, they should be placed in the shade, spread with a thin layer, preferably in an air-conditioned place. Of course, with a dryer, this process can be carried out by heating them to 40 °C.
It's a syrup from the pineapple
This is why it is so effective in upper respiratory diseases. Its preparation is extremely simple, and the product is not only much cheaper, but also of a much better quality because we are sure of the source of the raw materials. For this purpose, it is best to collect the flowers and buds of the mucous membrane, and then flush them out, dry them, slightly humidify them and moisten them with alcohol. However, the whole should be stored for 30 minutes in a sealed container.
