The book by Lydia Surina, Alexander Baranov and Stanislav Surin-Levitsky “Encyclopedia of the Siberian Herbalist” is a revised and expanded edition of the book of the same team of authors - Lydia Surina, Alexander Baranov and Stanislav Surin-Levitsky - “The Healing Lands of Tyumen Herbs” that has gained enormous popularity and has been republished in several editions "
The new printed version of the “Encyclopedia of the Siberian Herbalist” by the remarkable author tandem of Lydia Surina, Alexander Baranov and Stanislav Surin-Levitsky provides descriptions and methods of using more than 200 types of medicinal herbs in Russia for the treatment of the most common human diseases. Particular attention is paid to herbal medicine, which allows one to avoid surgical intervention for various types of tumors and neoplasms.
The book “Encyclopedia of the Siberian Herbalist” by Lydia Surina, Alexander Baranov and Stanislav Surin-Levitsky describes the signs and symptoms of the most common diseases necessary for self-diagnosis, the causes of their occurrence and methods of prevention.
Affirming the Hippocratic principle that it is not the doctor who heals, but Nature, the book “Encyclopedia of the Siberian Herbalist” by Lydia Surina, Alexander Baranov and Stanislav Surin-Levitsky develops the idea that the patient himself can and should know much more about his health than anyone else. or.
Depending on the nature of the diseases, Lydia Surina, Alexander Baranov and Stanislav Surin-Levitsky in the “Encyclopedia of the Siberian Herbalist” provide methods for cleaning human systems and organs that should be carried out before treatment.
From the book “Encyclopedia of the Siberian Herbalist” by Lydia Surina, Alexander Baranov and Stanislav Surin-Levitsky, you will learn what medicinal food plants grow around us and what medicinal properties they have. Particular attention in the book by Lydia Surina, Alexander Baranov and Stanislav Surin-Levitsky “Encyclopedia of the Siberian Herbalist” is drawn to the need to use local plants, in particular those growing in the garden, they help to adapt to local conditions and increase immunity.
The nature of our Motherland is very rich in its plant diversity. Food and medicinal plants, as well as traditional medicine, allow a person to adapt to these conditions. A local natural pharmacy, according to the authors of the “Encyclopedia of the Siberian Herbalist” Lidia Surina, Alexander Baranov and Stanislav Surin-Levitsky, is more valuable for your health and easier on your wallet.
“We often believe that we do not need plant food, but animal food. We even stop noticing that plants heal us better than any chemicals,” we read in the “Encyclopedia of the Siberian Herbalist” by Lidia Surina, Alexander Baranov and Stanislav Surin-Levitsky.
And further: “For the home pharmacy, each family can decide which plants are useful to prepare for daily use in the form of tea leaves (infusions) and which plants should be available in case of the most frequently recurring diseases.”
From the “Encyclopedia of the Siberian Herbalist” by Lydia Surina, Alexander Baranov and Stanislav Surin-Levitsky, you will learn that a single plant, even if it has a strong effect on a number of diseases, should not be taken continuously for a long time and in isolation from other plants. In each case of illness, we are not dealing with a separate sore, but with a living system called an organism. Our body, like the body of plants, is not a mechanical device, but a complex self-reproducing system. The system should be corrected using systematic methods, trying to find the cause of the “malfunction”.
In some cases, in the “Encyclopedia of the Siberian Herbalist” by Lidia Surina, Alexander Baranov and Stanislav Surin-Levitsky, the authors give the name of the disease and include it in the system that needs to be healed, and in other cases the disease stands apart, and the authors describe a phytotherapeutic treatment scheme. At the same time, a whole range of methods and plants used is given, since the same plants and methods used for a particular diagnosis help one patient quickly, while another has to select a different composition of plants and methods.
The authors of the “Encyclopedia of the Siberian Herbalist” Lidiya Surina, Alexander Baranov and Stanislav Surin-Levitsky believe that the help of plants is good for us because the biological systems of plants and humans have much in common in the metabolism of substances.
“There is nothing uniquely harmful in nature,” say Lidia Surina, Alexander Baranov and Stanislav Surin-Levitsky in the Encyclopedia of the Siberian Herbalist. - Even the worst enemies of cultivated plants, weeds, are the first assistants for reclamation workers who bring waste lands back to life. ...There are no useless plants, there are unknown ones or those that have not received an objective assessment. In the light of modern ecology, every animal and plant is useful and necessary in its own way.”
From the “Encyclopedia of the Siberian Herbalist” by Lydia Surina, Alexander Baranov and Stanislav Surin-Levitsky you will learn that:
98% of all food and energy needs of humanity are provided through plant photosynthesis;
people have been using medicinal herbs for over 5,000 years;
plants are capable of feeling;
with the use of medicinal herbs in one of the kindergartens, the incidence in it decreased by half;

PREFACE

A little history

Man is a part of nature and his life is closely connected with the flora and fauna. Throughout life, a person becomes more and more convinced that in nature itself there is a solution to many issues related not only to the occurrence of individual diseases, but also to getting rid of them. Plant and animal medicines widely used by mankind are convincing proof that we must look in nature for opportunities to get rid of ailments. Observing the animal world, primitive people learned to select not only the most tasty and nutritious plants, but also noted among them those that helped get rid of this or that ailment.

Animals only draw healing powers from nature. It is known that cats and dogs, in case of certain diseases, eat grass - mainly the leaves of cereals, which, according to humans, do not have medicinal properties.

A fairly popular medicinal plant, maral root (or leuzea), owes its name to observations of local residents. Buryat hunters noticed that deer, eating this root, regained their strength. And wounded deer eat red cloves, which are known to the local population as a hemostatic agent.

There is an Arab legend about the discovery of the medicinal properties of coffee tree beans by a shepherd who noticed that his goats, eating the fruiting branches of this tree, were in a great mood and had no time for sleep.

Ethnographic and archeological data indicate that humans have used medicinal plants since time immemorial. Australian tribes, some tribes of Central and South Africa, tribes of Amazonian Indians knew medicinal plants and were treated with them. Archaeologists have found special dishes for grinding and boiling healing potions.

The first written sources give us even more information. Ancient clay tablets discovered in Assyria contain information about medicinal plants, indicating which diseases and in what form the plant should be used. The Assyrians borrowed their information about medicinal plants from the Sumerians and Babylonians; The tablets, compiled by Assyrian scribes, contain the names of medicinal plants in Assyrian, Babylonian and Sumerian. It is known that in the capital of Assyria, Nineveh, there was a garden where exclusively medicinal plants were grown.

The Egyptians, four thousand years before our era, compiled a consistent description of the medicinal plants used in Egypt. Mention of these pharmacopoeias is found in records made on papyrus, and their images are quite common on the walls of Egyptian temples and pyramids.

Many plants used by the Egyptians are still sold in our pharmacies, for example castor oil.

In their myths, the Greeks associated their acquaintance with medicinal plants with the Caucasus, where, supposedly under the patronage of the goddess Artemis, there was a magical garden with poisonous and medicinal plants. And in fact, some plants were exported from the Caucasus (from Colchis) to Greece. It is not for nothing that the ancient Greek word “pharmakon” meant at that time not only “medicine”, but also poison.

Among the outstanding representatives of the Arab medical school, first of all one should name Abu Ali Ibn Sina, a Tajik by origin, known in Europe under the Latinized name Avicenna. His work “The Canon of Medical Science” was a reference book for centuries not only for Arab but also for European doctors. Ibn Sina described in his book about 900 medicines and methods of using them.

Ibn Baytar, a Spanish Arab, compiled descriptions of about 1,400 medicinal plants, thereby supplementing Avicenna's lists. The Arabic pharmacopoeia made extensive use of complex recipes containing many different herbs in varying proportions. Such recipes have become popular in Western European medicine. This complicated formulation led to the emergence of the special profession of pharmacists. To prepare a complex recipe from a dozen herbs, you need to have a special skill.

The European pharmacy was created according to the Arab model and at first it mainly used imported Arabic raw materials.

Medieval European herbalists were generally compilations from the writings of Dioscorides, Galen, Ibn Sina, Ibn Baytar and other Greek, Latin and Arabic authors.

Thus, almost all medicinal plants of Western and Southern Europe, North Africa and Western Asia, and India were included in European medical practice.

The Tibetan medicine system is also related to Indian medicine. Local plants were introduced into the pharmacopoeia of Indian medicine, and Chinese traditions were also adopted.

Tibetan medicine spread over a fairly large area of northeast Asia.

The first Chinese book on herbs (Ben Cao) dates back to 2600 BC. The book lists about 900 types of medicinal plants with detailed descriptions of their uses. Such books have been reprinted over the course of many centuries, and one of the latest, dating from the 16th century, already lists 1892 medicinal plants.

The first doctor in Rus' was the Greek John Smer, invited to Kyiv by Vladimir Monomakh. Medicines - dried herbs - were brought from Constantinople and from the Genoese colonies in Crimea. However, very soon, in numerous monasteries, Russian learned monks began to collect and dry local medicinal herbs - mainly those that were described in Greek herbalists or were similar to them - and treat the sick with them. Information about the existence of local herbalists can be found in some written sources, but the herbalists themselves, unfortunately, are lost. Mentions of ancient Russian medicine can be found in handwritten monuments of ancient Russian literature. Evidence of this is “The Tale of Peter and Fevronia.” This story tells how Prince Peter of Murom, fighting a snake, became covered with scabs and could not recover for a long time. A simple Ryazan girl, Fevronia, helped him. In the form of payment for treatment, Fevronia demanded that Prince Peter marry her. When giving the medicine, she advised me to smear it on all the scabs except one. The prince recovered, but refused to marry. But the scab left unanointed gave new scabs and Prince Peter had to take Fevronia as his wife. They lived long and in love. Fevronia healed Prince Peter with wild honey infused with herbs.

Based on the practice of folk healing, the Russian pharmacopoeia gradually gained strength. This is evidenced by references in later herbalists to local medicinal plants not found in ancient pharmacopoeias. These are, for example, original methods of treatment with horseradish and onions, treatment of purulent ulcers with “bath mold”. Russian healers, seven centuries before Fleming's discovery of penicillin, independently established the antibacterial activity of this fungus.

Translated handwritten herbal books, the so-called “vertograds,” began to appear.

The use of medicinal herbs in Russia took on a particularly wide scale under Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, when a special “Apothecary Order” was created, which was in charge of supplying medicinal herbs not only to the royal court, but also to the army.

“Apothecary gardens” were created - gardens where medicinal plants were grown. There is interest in collecting data from traditional medicine. The production of medicines from plants in special “cookhouses” began to be organized.

Treatment with gifts of nature today

My ancestors spent their entire lives collecting medicinal herbs, using them to treat themselves, and teaching us how to use them.

My grandmother taught me, and I am now teaching my grandchildren: don’t get carried away with pills, there are so many medicinal plants around us. Study them, observe their effect on the human body, and your health will be fine.

Since time immemorial, Russian people have been treated with herbs, as they do now. If we have a headache or a sore throat, a coughing attack, a fever, or problems with the intestines, we first of all resort to the gifts of nature. We drink tea with lemon for fever, tea with raspberries for colds, chew black tea leaves, brew pomegranate bark for diarrhea. All these easy remedies sometimes help temporarily, since these are often signs of a serious illness. But when relief comes, we can calmly consult a doctor. Where the body's defenses are able to cope with an incipient illness on their own, plants that have diaphoretic, antipyretic, tonic, expectorant, diuretic, socogonal or antitoxic effects may be useful. For example, before going to bed you had to eat heavy food (raw smoked sausage, fried meat, etc.). And in the morning - a feeling of heaviness or pain in the stomach, lack of appetite. In such cases, it is enough to drink tea brewed with dill seeds or green tea with dill before breakfast. To relieve a state of weakness and general malaise (fatigue, upset stomach, sore throat, fever), herbal tea or strong brewed black tea with fruit juice, syrup, jam from garden and wild fruits and berries sometimes helps. If you feel unwell, when the cause is unclear, lemon and honey help.

Ancient traditional medicine was based on the main principle - closer to nature! Ancient healers widely used the medicinal properties of fruits, berries, vegetables, and plants as medicines. Everything in excess can be harmful. Any fruits, vegetables, or greens in large quantities can have a negative effect on the human body. It must be remembered that not only the dose of the product matters, but also the time of administration. For example, eating large amounts of pears, apples, apricots, grapes, and cucumbers before meals causes stomach upset in many people. Pear and melon are considered heavy foods and should not be mixed with other foods. It is better to eat them separately and not on an empty stomach. It is good to eat an apple on an empty stomach and at night. Even a healthy person can suffer from severe intestinal colic after eating a large amount of fruits and vegetables. Excessive consumption of pomegranate, persimmon, and blueberries can lead to constipation. If you drink a large amount of strong brewed tea or coffee, as well as onions and garlic before going to bed, it will be very difficult to fall asleep.

Everyone should know which fruits, vegetables, berries and in what quantities his body digests well, and which foods his body cannot tolerate. Following these simple rules will keep you healthy and give you longevity. You must thoroughly study your health, know your diseases and remember them when consuming plant and animal foods. There are diseases for which some medications are indicated and absolutely contraindicated for others. For example, for patients with hyperacid gastritis, lemons, oregano, pepper, cumin, that is, what is useful for hypacid gastritis, are contraindicated. For patients with hemorrhoids, as well as for acute and chronic hepatitis, black and red pepper, bitter onions, garlic and mustard are contraindicated. Hypotonic patients should not take coriander, dill (especially its seeds), or the highest grades of green tea. For people who have had a heart attack, as well as with thrombosis and thrombophlebitis, raikhon (basil), coriander (cilantro), angelica, chokeberry are contraindicated, as they increase blood clotting.

The experience of using plants as healing agents has accumulated over centuries and led to the emergence of traditional medicine. In folk medicine there are many useful and rational methods of treatment not only with plants. Beekeepers are treated with bee products - honey, beebread, royal jelly, wax, propolis, bee venom.

Traditional healers treat many diseases with formic alcohol, leeches, mumiyo, which is collected in the foothills, bile and fat of all kinds of animals, children's urine (the urine of sick people cannot be used), and antler antlers of sika deer.

Humanity has been healing itself with hunger for five thousand years. Observing his body, the person came to the conclusion that a large amount of energy is spent on digesting food, which is necessary to fight the disease - it is better to spend it on recovery.

It is known that during the period of fasting due to the cult of various religions, many patients got rid of their ailments. During hunger, poisons, toxins and excess salts leave the body with water. Not only the liver and kidneys are cleansed, but also the joints. Temporary abstinence from food causes increased vitality, improved general well-being, sharpened memory, attention and vision, normalized blood pressure, decreased heart rate, relieved pain, hypoxia and arrhythmia, and improved sexual activity.

General strengthening, vitamin preparations

My family lives by the principle - seek help from nature, like your mother.

There are many ways to strengthen the body. For example, if I drink tea, it must be with milk, and I won’t forget to add a spoonful of honey. This tea adds strength.

I drink carrot juice, and I also don’t forget to add a spoonful of honey. Digestion improves, and breathing becomes easier.

I’ll go to the garden, I won’t pass by the dandelion and nettles, especially the young ones - I’ll pick them and make a salad. The leaves of young dandelions should be immersed in salt water for half an hour to prevent them from becoming bitter, then rinsed with boiled water and finely chopped. Wash the nettle leaves and chop finely. I do this with gloves and cut with scissors - the nettle bites. I add salt, table vinegar or a few drops of lemon and vegetable oil. An excellent remedy for vitamin deficiency. Nettle will cleanse the body of toxins and improve the activity of the endocrine glands.

This salad can be made from young spring primrose leaves. Useful for lack of vitamins and loss of strength.

Ripe gooseberries increase the body's resistance to infectious diseases and provide a third of the daily requirement in ascorbic acid if you eat 100 g of these wonderful berries per day.

Fresh and sour cabbage is very popular in folk medicine. I eat raw cabbage to increase my appetite and improve digestion, and I make all kinds of salads from it. Sour cabbage is a source of vitamin C.

I taught my household to make jelly and compotes from the fruits of viburnum. It is indispensable if there is a lack of vitamins in the body. In addition, it is an excellent remedy for regulating blood pressure. To do this, it is better to grind it with sugar through a meat grinder and eat a teaspoon 3 times a day.

My grandchildren love lingonberries. If you have vitamin deficiency, it is useful to eat a glass of lingonberries. You can fill it with cold water, leave it and drink the water from under it.

Every day, as a family, we eat 100 g of blackcurrant pureed with sugar, or drink the juice of 1 - 2 lemons, or 2 glasses of tomato juice. By doing this, we provide our body with vitamin C and increase resistance to disease.

Do you want to have a healthy heart? In the morning on an empty stomach, and in the evening at night, eat an apple. During the day, eat 5 dried apricots and 2 walnuts.

Take 100–150 ml of freshly squeezed pomegranate juice 3 times a day.

Every day you should drink half a glass of carrot juice; It is recommended to add a little honey to the juice.

Take freshly squeezed juice from lemon balm leaves, 50 drops 5 times a day; Take this juice with honey and milk.

Drink freshly squeezed juice of the herb capitula officinalis, 1 tsp. 3 times a day (with honey); The juice from the above-ground part of the grass is squeezed out during the flowering period.

I also don’t forget stimulants - alcohol tincture of the rhizomes of the high tempting plant, 30 drops 3 times a day before meals; alcohol tincture of Rhodiola rosea root, 20 drops each, or Eleutherococcus senticosus tincture, 20 drops each, or tincture of Aralia Manchurian roots, 30 drops each, or tincture of the roots or leaves of Panax ginseng, 20 drops each, or tincture of maral root, 20 drops each.

A simple remedy perfectly tones the body in winter and after illness: before bed, a glass of warm milk with the addition of 9 - 12 drops of garlic juice.

I collect blueberries in the forest and dry them in the shade, and in winter I make an infusion. Dried blueberry fruits need to be lightly mashed with a pestle, then take 1 tbsp. l. raw materials, pour 1 cup of boiling water and leave under the lid, well wrapped in a towel, for at least half an hour, strain through cheesecloth or a strainer. I sing this infusion in several doses throughout the day before meals to my household. An excellent vitamin remedy.

It is useful to take an infusion of common hop cones. 1 tbsp. l. dry raw materials should be poured with a glass of boiling water and left in a sealed container for 1.5 - 2 hours, strain. Drink 50 ml 3 times a day a quarter of an hour before meals.

If possible, we drink a decoction of oats with honey. This decoction is especially useful in the spring, when the body is weakened. First, you need to thoroughly rinse the unpeeled oats in running water, take 1 cup of washed oats, add 5 cups of water and cook at low boil until half of the broth has evaporated, strain through two to three layers of gauze, add 4 tsp. honey, bring to a boil once, let cool. Drink this remedy 1 glass 3 times a day between meals.

I read a lot of literature and collect recipes for healing illnesses not only with medicinal herbs. I started an apiary in the garden, and I sowed the area free of vegetable crops with flowering herbs. In the spring, when everything is in bloom (both herbs and gardens), my bees are at work.

I was convinced that royal jelly strengthens the body well and restores strength after illness. Place pure bee jelly on the tip of a table knife under your tongue an hour before meals and hold until completely dissolved 3-5 times a day.

Or mix 1 part royal jelly with 20 parts vodka. Take 15 drops of tincture per tablespoon of warm boiled water, tea, milk 3-5 times a day an hour before meals for exhaustion and premature aging of the body.

METHODS FOR PREPARATION OF MEDICINAL PLANTS

You should know everything about medicinal plants well, and only then collect them. You need to know when to collect herbs, when to collect buds, when to collect bark, etc.

Buds from trees and shrubs should be collected in early spring, when they are swollen and about to open, but have not yet begun to grow. At this time, increased sap flow begins, the plant wakes up after winter and its active life begins. This usually happens in March - April. Birch and pine buds can be collected early - in February.

In early spring, you can also collect tree bark. It is easy to tear it off from trees by making several longitudinal cuts up to half a meter long on a branch or thin stem and connecting them with longitudinal cuts. By lifting the cut bark from the upper end, you can easily remove the entire piece in the form of tubes. The bark must first be cleared of lichen growths. Usually the removed bark is rolled into a tube. Do not try to put the tubes one inside the other, as they are still damp and can become moldy, and this will ruin your collection.

Leaves and green shoots should be collected during the flowering period, before fruiting. During this period, the green parts of plants gain strength for growth; at this time they are the juiciest and therefore the most useful. Leaves, grass and flowers should only be collected in dry weather, preferably in the morning after the dew has dried. If plants are collected after rain or covered with dew, they will quickly turn black and spoil. In the baskets where the plants were collected, they should be placed loosely - those laid tightly quickly heat up and turn black. According to popular beliefs, some plants should be collected at night, exactly at midnight, some - always during the full moon, others - in the absence of the moon. At different times of the day, one or another organ is active in a person. Apparently, plants also produce one or another useful substance at certain times of the day. And lighting plays an important role. Some plants love weak moonlight. It is better to remove leaves from plants by hand. A fully developed leaf is collected, and always fresh. Leaves that are faded, wilting, or eaten by insects are not collected - they will not provide a full-fledged medicine. But in some plants - wormwood, motherwort, St. John's wort - you can cut off the flowering tops, up to 20 cm long, with a sickle, or manually break off the side flowering branches.

Flowers should be collected at the beginning of flowering, when the flower is in “full beauty” and there are no signs of wilting. During this period, flowers contain a maximum of useful substances, crumble less during storage, withstand drying better and retain their color. It is better to collect flowers by hand by plucking them.

The fruits are harvested when fully ripe, not later. During this period, the fruits are the most powerful in their usefulness. The fruits, like the leaves, are collected in dry weather. Collected by hand without stalks. For rowan and cumin, where the fruits are located in umbrellas, they are picked all together, and after drying, they are carefully separated from the stalks. Rose hips are collected together with the remains of the calyx, which remains on top of the fruit. This cup is removed after drying, rubbing the fruit with your hands. Wormy and rotten fruits are not collected. It is especially difficult to pick juicy fruits - blueberries, raspberries, strawberries. They are placed in a basket lined with fabric inside, and each layer is laid with twigs so that the fruits do not cake and do not press on each other.

Herbalist Lidiya Nesterovna Surina

Lidia Nesterovna a very cheerful, lively, energetic woman. I have never taken a single pill or a single synthetic vitamin in my life. “Drink tea with fireweed and you will be provided with almost all the vitamins, and instead of simple salt, use sea salt, use only unrefined vegetable oils, and brown sugar with molasses” - these are her tips.

“The liver is responsible for beauty and youth.” And Lydia Nesterovna wants to believe that a healthy lifestyle is not a banal phrase, but a secret of beauty and youth that really works, and it works constantly, and not for a short time. If we eat right, do as much physical labor as we can and think about good things, then we won’t need any plastic surgery or doctors.

Together with her husband, she wrote several books about herbs.

I would like to draw your attention to some important points from the books.

Books by Lydia Nesterovna Surina

It is especially important to know local herbs for those who come from other climatic regions to another area, since it is local herbs that help adapt to the new place of residence. Each plant zone has its own food and medicinal plants, as well as its own traditional medicine, which help a person adapt to these conditions.

In her books, Lydia Surina writes that the advantage of herbal medicinal substances over chemical ones is that the former are formed in a living cell. Therefore, even the toxic substances of plants that enter our body do not disrupt the entire system of biochemical reactions of the cells of the human and animal body as roughly as drugs obtained by chemical means do.

It is useful to know that a single plant, even if it has a strong effect on a number of diseases, should not be taken continuously for a long time and in isolation from other plants.

Lydia Nesterovna would really like for the younger generation to understand from an early age the value for life of what grows under their feet, so that they would be grateful to the earth and help it for the sake of their own health.

Lidiya Nesterovna Surina herbalist from God. After reading her books, I want to believe that herbs are the most harmless and effective remedies for most ailments.

In turn, I suggest using information about living products from plants and herbs that will cleanse the body, feed the cell, and restore the acid-base balance. Thanks to all this, the body itself will begin to fight and correct violations in the functioning of organs and become healthier. The recovery process is long, as with herbal treatment, but the first results are usually visible after 1-2 weeks of use. The product is 100% natural and has virtually no contraindications.

about the author

8.10.2007 — 13:37 NEWSPAPER “TYUMEN REGION”

Honorary citizen of Tyumen, teacher, candidate of biological sciences, lecturer at the Knowledge Society, herbalist, wife, mother, grandmother. This is all about Lydia Surina. Probably not all... She embroiders using satin stitch. He also writes books? - books about how to be in harmony with nature and stay healthy and happy throughout your long life. She receives patients: prescribes decoctions, infusions, powders, thereby allowing us all to realize that we can and should be treated not with a pill, but with natural medicines that are in abundance around us. Just bend over and take it.

Lidiya Nestorovna maintains contact with other specialists involved in human health issues, participating in various forums, both in Russia and abroad. Several years ago, at the international congress “Women Changing the World” in St. Petersburg, she made a presentation on the topic “Health as an economic factor.” Her creative potential makes her move forward, generating new ideas and projects. She develops and implements a preventive program in one of the kindergartens in Tyumen, as a result of which the incidence of childhood diseases has significantly decreased.

This wise woman taught her children to love and understand nature. Know which blade of grass will help with a cold, what to apply to a wound, how to relieve pain or itching. She herself has been doing without synthetic drugs traditional for modern society for more than 30 years. Nature helps her stay healthy, cheerful and help the people around her. She? - A healer with a capital letter, it’s not for nothing that her name is included in the book “Healers of Russia”.

Today, such eastern countries as China, Japan, and Korea occupy leading positions in traditional methods of treatment,” Lidiya Nestorovna began the story. - Traditional are those treatment methods that are based on folk traditions and have thousands of years of experience in use. They saved everything, we, unfortunately, lost everything. We considered witchcraft, conspiracies, and slander to be nonsense, and we threw out the baby with the bathwater. We have come to immorality, cruelty, we do not remember the Christian commandments, and with the loss of religion we have lost a lot of good things.

Why are the drugs of the modern pharmaceutical industry so bad?

Our medicine today ranks 136th out of 200. Quite recently, we were 16th in terms of mortality from synthetic drugs, but now we are 4th. Every fourth death is from a drug... A pill from which a person expected healing leads to death! In medical universities, the subject of botany has been removed from medical faculties. Until 1936, students of medical universities collected a reference herbarium in order to know what a particular plant looks like, for what diseases, in what form, what dose is prescribed depending on age. A plant is a medicine, even one that grows in the country.

My father knew plants very well, and when we walked with him, he showed and told where, what plants and why. And my mother was a doctor, but a thinking doctor. When synthetic vitamins first appeared, she strictly, strictly forbade me to even try them. Natural vitamins obtained naturally are one thing, and chemistry is another. Once my husband and I were in China, and a Chinese doctor said: “Russians, what are you doing? You drink synthetic vitamin C, and even in doses much higher than necessary. This will lead to cancer, diabetes, nephritis, nephrosis, gastric ulcers, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and hemochromatosis (iron deposition). You have such open spaces, and you don’t know which plants contain vitamin C?!” They do not produce vitamins and antibiotics, using plants instead. Our doctor doesn't know this.

What is needed to improve modern school education?

My grandson knows botany well, he can tell you what ferns grow from and much more. But he doesn’t know at all why the Japanese eat fern, why the residents of the city of Tokyo alone eat 300 tons of this plant a year. He doesn't know what's in the fern, when to pick it, or why it's good to eat. Why such science if it does not help to survive. Any science is a child of need. The way botany is taught today is garbage, useless knowledge that is not needed! Even Mendeleev put botany in first place among the sciences in terms of usefulness for life. You're walking down the road, you see a plantain, and you should know what it's used for. That’s why I wrote a book especially for schoolchildren.

If people knew herbalism, they would never consider woodlice a weed, but would use it to treat the thyroid gland, enterocolitis and other diseases. It protects the soil from drying out and contains four times more vitamin C than lemon. You can make juice from it, put it in soups and salads. Why do cats and dogs eat wheatgrass? They strengthen their bones and cleanse their blood vessels. Wheatgrass is an invaluable source of silicon; it protects against arthrosis, arthritis, and treats gastritis. The Germans brew beer from wheatgrass, the Cossacks bake bread from its rhizomes. It has been known since ancient times that parsley dissolves kidney stones, and coltsfoot soothes coughs.

I also believe that every local history museum should have stands of medicinal plants, where the visitor could get acquainted not only with the flora and fauna, but also find out what medicinal plants grow there. School gives a child a lot of unnecessary knowledge; it is not applied and will not be useful in life. But the use of plants in your life: so that he knows which plant is poisonous, which can be used for food, and which to treat, is very necessary. Such knowledge should be given starting from kindergarten, when the child is already actively learning about the world around him. People need to be introduced through all media seasonally, during the period when plants appear, with their usefulness and ways of using them in life.

You are an opponent of other people's food products, fruits, why?

All living things feed on what grows under their feet in nature. In order to adapt to this climate where I live, I must eat what grows here, and not far over the sea. Pineapples, oranges, tangerines carry other people's information. Of course, sometimes they can be eaten, but imported food should make up no more than 10% of the total human diet. Today, 65% of the meat we eat is not local. A foreign cow eats different grass and drinks different water.

I was amazed that in the Salekhard museum there is not a single exhibit of local flora! Pines and spruce trees - they can be practically entirely used both for health and for food. For example, the Khanty used to grind and add bark to flour. It cleanses blood vessels and bronchi. You can make jam from young cones and young pine needles, or sprinkle larch with sugar and use the resulting juice. I specifically compared Tyumen Ivan tea with lemon, it turned out that it contains 6 times more vitamin C, and Salekhard tea contains 20 times more than lemon. Our northern plants are gold, not just oil and gas. Even Ivan the Terrible, one of the most enlightened Russian tsars, said in 1580: “If you want to conquer a country, bring other people’s products there. There will be an outflow of energy, people will get sick, sick slaves are easier to manage.”

Which local politicians do you like?

Those people who lead the region, their ideas and deeds. I have great respect for Vladimir Fedorovich Kramskoy. I trust him very much because I see concrete cases. He does a lot for culture, to improve the spirituality of people, education, and pays for all his employees to receive an education. The deputy transfers his salary to the orphanage. Vladimir Fedorovich is a friendly, generous person, and understands where to invest to make our lives better. Leonid Ivanovich Ksenzov, whom I have known for many years and respect very much. These people are attractive to me because of their life credo. So I'm with them.

Today in Russia, 9 out of 10 people have some kind of chronic disease. Therefore, Lydia Nestorovna has a big dream and an important idea. She believes that the time has come when it is necessary to create health schools at universities, secondary schools and other institutions and teach people how to remain healthy and harmonious individuals. And we need to start from childhood.

Surina Lidiya Nesterovna recognizes treatment methods only from traditional medicine. Tips from Lidia Surina 1. Start herbal treatment with the belief that it will help you. 2. Herbs should be taken during acute illness, and, if necessary, in combination with chemotherapy to protect the body from the negative side effects of chemotherapy. It is advisable to treat chronic diseases with the help of herbs. 3. Remember that herbs do not work overnight. Therefore, be patient, attentive, and consistent in their application. Do not be afraid of a short-term exacerbation - it indicates the revitalization of the body's defenses. 4. Reduce meat consumption and heat treatment of food to a minimum. It’s better to switch to vegetarianism in your diet. Try not to eat imported products (they give us foreign information), eat wholemeal bread, replace sugar with jam or honey, use unrefined vegetable oil. 5. Think less about the illness, this will speed up recovery; do not give in to fear, doubt, avoid quarrels and rudeness - this damages your own biofield and contributes to the leakage of vital energy, which is the basis of your immunity. Try to find peace of mind. The quote is from the book “Advice from Lydia Surina.” Advice from herbalist Lydia Surina download for free.

A new book from Tyumen herbalist Lydia Surina

The book “Sources of Health. Herbalism" by Lidia Surina and Svetlana Kuncheva-Surina. A popular collection of medicinal and food plants was published with funds from the Tobolsk Revival public foundation, the Tobolsk online newspaper reports.

Lidiya Nestorovna Surina- Candidate of Biological Sciences. She made a great personal contribution to the popularization of the medicinal properties of the plant world. Her books and articles are not just advice from the famous Siberian herbalist, they are a whole philosophy of relationships with nature, based on the traditions of high morality. In 2008, Lidia Nestorovna was awarded the title “Healer of Russia.” In 2009, she received the title “Honorary Ecologist of the Tyumen Region.”

At the invitation of the public foundation “Revival of Tobolsk”, Lidia Surina visited Tobolsk. Her performances aroused unprecedented interest among Tobolsk residents. The previous numerous editions of Lidia Surina's publications on medicinal herbs sold out instantly and became a bibliographic rarity. And Arkady Elfimov, the permanent director of the charity organization, decided to help publish another book by a wise herbalist known far beyond the borders of Siberia. It provides a description of the most commonly used wild medicinal plants in the Tyumen region, as well as folk methods of treatment.

Getting healthy yourself is better than being treated!

Most recently, we informed our readers about the recognition that the book “Encyclopedia of the Siberian Herbalist” (Titul Publishing House), published in Tyumen, received. Its authors are A. Baranov, L. Surina and S. Levitsky-Surin. Weighty, more than 500 pages, the volume contains a substantive description and principles of use of more than 200 types of medicinal herbs used to treat the most common human diseases.
The book received a laureate diploma from the regional competition “Book of the Year - 2011” in the category “The most popular publishing project among readers.” And this is not surprising. On the pages of the “School of Survival” we have been talking for the second decade about the colossal importance of herbal medicine, about the benefits it provides for survival in our century, notorious not only for the achievements of modern medicine, but also for the powerful wave of counterfeit, surrogate medicines that have Russians will also suffer... In the book by three authors (one of whom teaches lessons at the “School of Survival”), special attention is paid to those herbal methods that can help a person avoid surgical intervention. It describes the signs and symptoms of the most common diseases necessary for self-diagnosis, gives the reasons for their occurrence and (importantly!) methods of prevention.
The patient himself can and should know more about his health than anyone else! This is the main idea of the new book, which the reader praised as “a guide to the land of knowledge about human health” and called “a real lifesaver”...
Meanwhile, another piece of news arrived. Following the “Encyclopedia of the Siberian Herbalist”, another book was published - “Encyclopedia of Medicinal Plants”. It was released in St. Petersburg, but you can also buy it in Tyumen. It would seem that the world of medicinal herbs has been thoroughly studied these days. But the authors already familiar to us - Doctor of Biological Sciences, herbal medicine consultants Alexander Baranov and Stanislav Levitsky (we would add - a worthy student of their mother Lydia Nestorovna Surina, always ready to help our readers) continue to introduce us to this unique world. Green, alive, endless - despite any “intrigues” of scientific and technological progress!
The encyclopedia also has a difference from its “elder sister”: in this book you can read about unique methods of healing according to the lunar calendar. About what lunar rhythms are, how they influence the collection and use of herbs, what “sores” can and should be treated in correlation with the signs of the zodiac.
In addition to practical benefits, the book will also bring you pleasure from reading: it is written in simple, accessible, easy language. For example, one of its chapters is called: “Under the sign of Capricorn, swing your legs!”...
Will the new book become equally popular with readers? Will it win the People's Choice Award? Time will tell. And also - our readiness to take our health seriously!
P.S. Below we publish an excerpt from the preface to the book. Its author is one of the leading Russian specialists in the field of herbal medicine...

What does our body “order”?

from the preface

Victor Elkin
Chief Physician and Vice President of the TELOS Technologies Foundation

Moscow

Food plants are suppliers of microflora to the human body and at the same time suppliers of fiber - the necessary raw material for the functioning of microflora. When they eat greens, they say they are eating “vitamins.” But the main thing here is that fiber serves as the main nutrition for the intestinal microflora, which provides a person with vitamins produced according to the “order” of the body. This is the essence of the saprophytic symbiosis of intestinal bacteria with humans, beneficial for both parties. A sterile organism, devoid of intestinal microflora, would not be viable.
Any diet therapy, if it is not meat or fish, is necessarily herbal medicine. Diet therapy implements the principle “Your medicine should be food.” If the medicine, when included in the body, is not food, that is, it does not increase the body’s strength, but only takes it away, then the healing process will be difficult and slowed down. “Treatment” is the opposite of “mutilation” and is inevitably connected with it: “we treat one thing, and mutilate the other.” So are “medicines”. And the means and methods of healing do not cripple anything.
Wellness is much more than treatment.
Phytotherapy with food plants can be considered as an expansion and enrichment of the diet by introducing edible wild plants into it and increasing the proportion of a variety of garden plants. If this is combined with the elimination of foods from other continents and other climatic zones from the diet, then a correction is obtained towards the formation of a healthy eating style, through which the correct balance is achieved between the human body and the natural environment. Herbal medicine is a way to expand the channel of such balancing. Any disease is a disruption of adaptation, and wild plants improve adaptogenesis and strengthen the potential for adaptation.
During herbal medicine, plant organisms are offered to the human body in the form of whole extracts, rather than individual substances, although extracts are obtained from plants using extractants.
Tomsk herbalist Professor V.G. Pashinsky, who has experience in the field of oncology, found that not every antitumor plant contains substances that have an antitumor effect. If neither individual substances extracted from a plant nor a cocktail prepared from them are characterized by an antitumor effect, but the whole plant gives such an effect, what does this mean? First of all, the effect of a plant is determined not only by its composition, but also by the form that the whole plant, even dried, retains. Integrity is not in the sense of mechanical integrity. Even mechanical grinding of a plant into powder will not lead to loss of shape: each particle will continue to carry the shape of the whole plant and therefore will be effective. Only chemical extraction of individual substances from a plant kills the plant and leads to the plant losing its form, because form and composition correspond to each other. And it is fundamentally impossible to reassemble the whole plant according to the shape of a plant by mechanically combining chemical substances obtained from it.
Traditional methods of working with plants in herbal medicine do not have this disadvantage. If the extractants are water and a water-alcohol mixture, then the shape of the plant is preserved not only in its own particles, but also, most importantly, by imprinting in water. It is the form of the plant with which the water had contact (and not the information) that is imprinted.
A lot of books on herbal medicine are written. But not every one of them contains information gleaned by the authors from their personal experience, found and tested independently. Of course, using other sources is not only acceptable, but also necessary. Otherwise there will be no continuity. But you need to borrow from reliable sources. And you need to check borrowings in your personal experience. This is exactly what the authors of this book do.

Brewing tea is a subtle science

How to brew tea correctly? It seems like everyone knows about it these days. And yet many continue to do this important task - brewing tea - at random. By eye! Without paying attention to the quality of the dishes or the quality of the water we take for boiling.
While brewing tea is an ancient, delicate science.
The tea ceremony came to us from the East. In Russia, tea drinking quickly became popular in all levels of society - tea migrated from the royal table to peasant huts. The first tea party took place on September 20, 1638, when the ambassadors of the Mongol Khan presented tea to Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich. Muscovites gave the following assessment: “The drink is good and much tasty, strengthens the spirit, softens the heart, removes fatigue, awakens thought.”
Until the 18th century, tea was sold only in Moscow at fairs. It was expensive, we drank it on holidays. The tea bush was first grown in 1814 in the Crimea, in a botanical garden. Today tea is the most popular drink in many countries. The aroma of tea depends on the water. The best choice, of course, is spring water. Alas, springs in our lives do not flow often, so - as best we can - we buy purified water in stores, purchase household filters for water purification. This means that the purity of the water in our kettle also depends on the thickness of our wallet. Tap water must be settled to remove chlorine. Water is improved by adding a pinch of salt, sugar and soda per liter. Tea brewed with this water will be more aromatic.

The temperature of brewing tea is very important. The boiling process consists of three stages. The first is the appearance of bubbles on the bottom and walls of the kettle. The second stage is the rise of bubbles and cloudiness of the water, they said - “boiling with white spring.” This is the water you should brew tea with. You cannot brew it with boiling water (boiling water): such tea will not be aromatic. This was strictly monitored in Rus'. Tea infused with water at a temperature of 60-70 degrees is tastier and more aromatic, and tones better. Tea is brewed at the rate of 7 teaspoons per liter and left for 5-10 minutes, covered with a napkin.
This is how tea is brewed in Japan (stored in a porcelain container for 2 days). Real tea of a good variety quickly restores a person’s strength (surrogate tea does not).
