Hello everyone!

Lately I have very often come across information that everything can be cured with medications.

That they are much more effective than pills, and that modern medicine does not understand anything about this.

What to look for salvation from various diseases in recipes traditional healers, in old books on folk medicine, where herbs are one of the main components of any remedy.

Many people really believe that herbal treatment is simple and very useful.

I don’t entirely agree with such a philistine statement and therefore decided to write this post about how to treat with herbs correctly and safely.

From this article you will learn:

How to be treated with herbs correctly and safely - the secrets of herbal therapy

I graduated from medical university, faculty of pharmacy.

And one of the most important and difficult subjects that we studied on the course was pharmacognosy - the science of medicinal plants.

We studied this subject for five years, and passing an exam or getting a test in it was more difficult than in any chemistry or pharmacology.

How we taught these herbs, only those who studied there know.

We not only memorized the names of plants and their areas of application, but also worked with a microscope, made chemical reactions, determining the chemical composition of the raw material and its structure, they examined the roots and leaves in cross-section, sketched it all, memorized and crammed it.

In the spring we went to procure medicinal raw materials and analyzed them using modern methods research and, of course, explored its full application.

I still remember a huge table filled with Petri dishes with dry medicinal raw materials, some whole, some crushed.

From this abundance, you had to choose what they would call you and prove that it was exactly the right collection or that plant, using physical and chemical means.

Therefore, I can with great confidence refute the false statement that medicinal plants are the preserve of the knowledge of herbalist grandmothers or traditional healers. Official medicine knows no less, but even more about how to treat them and how it should be done correctly.

It's hard for me to even imagine how much latest research are held annually for medicinal plants, this science never stands still.

In modern ecology, plants change their composition, which means their scope of application may change or new contraindications may appear, and the latest technologies make it possible to discover new medicinal properties known or unfamiliar plants.

Therefore, you should not rely so much on old folk remedies, but it is best to buy a modern directory of medicinal plants, which will indicate their chemical composition, medicinal properties and methods of use, as well as contraindications, and be sure to use it correctly.

Treatment with medicinal herbs - important rules and tips

To begin with, I would like to voice several features of treatment with medicinal herbs, which few people pay attention to:

• Well, first of all, I would like to immediately say that medicinal herbs do not work miracles, and use them to cure everything existing diseases- impossible!

If you hear somewhere a story about how a person completely cured himself with an infusion of oats or chamomile flowers from cancer in the fourth stage, consider that a miracle of healing simply happened to him, mostly thanks to his faith in himself, in God, in life, into this medicinal plant, or maybe he did something else that you don't know about.

Try herbal treatments for muscular dystrophy, ALS, multiple sclerosis, meningitis...

• Treatment with medicinal herbs is not as safe as many people think it is.

Medicinal raw materials can cause severe allergies, poisoning, and pathological processes in the body, negatively affect the development of the fetus in pregnant women, potency in men, and much, much more.

Therefore, before drinking any “harmless” herb, be sure to familiarize yourself with the possible side effects that it can give and its contraindications for use.

Illiterately composed medicinal fees, herbs collected in environmentally polluted areas, as well as taking herbs simultaneously with medications.

Always remember what time we live in, and plants, like people, absorb everything from the environment.

• Row medicinal herbs has a strictly defined safe dose applications.

Roughly speaking, there are herbs that, in excess dosage, turn into poison.

• Medicinal herbs contain “harmful chemicals”

Well, I already mentioned this in point 2, in medicinal raw materials in addition to useful microelements, there are harmful ones (salts of heavy metals). They are especially abundant in those that were collected along highways and railways and in other environmentally unfavorable places.

• Medicinal herbs should not be used for a long time and continuously.

Some herbs are addictive, others long-term use, depress the nervous system, cause an overdose, which is accompanied by negative consequences, so the course of treatment with herbs is individual.

For example, mint tea, with constant use, greatly lowers blood pressure, “safe” chamomile, with long-term use, interferes with the absorption of iron, wormwood can provoke a disorder of the nervous system, causing convulsions and fainting.

Therefore, by “healing” with herbs from one disease, you can easily acquire another.

How to use herbs correctly and safely?

So, remember the basic rules - how to treat with herbs:

• So that the grass retains everything useful components, it is very important to collect it according to all the rules.

Taking into account the place of collection, time of collection, as well as the conditions of its preparation and drying. You can read how to do this correctly in any good reference book of medicinal plants.

It is best to collect herbs yourself, following all the rules for harvesting, drying and storage.

Or buy medicinal herbs from time-tested manufacturers and in specialized pharmacies, where you will be provided with all product quality certificates, including documents for radiological control.

I don’t advise anyone to buy herbs at markets from unknown people; no one knows exactly what may be in them, where they were collected!

• You need to brew it in a glass container in a water bath.

This rule is important to follow because plants are able to interact with various chemical components and accumulate them in themselves, so boiling in metal or plastic containers can be dangerous.

• In order to prepare an effective medicine from medicinal herbs, you need to follow certain rules.

Medicinal raw materials are usually used in the form of aqueous infusions and decoctions or alcohol tinctures.

Infusions are prepared from soft plant materials (flowers, leaves, herbs), decoctions from hard plant materials (roots, bark, dried fruits)

Typically, infusions and decoctions are prepared in a ratio of 1:10

• How to prepare a medicinal infusion?

Prepare the raw materials, take 1 tablespoon of dry crushed herbs. Pour into a glass hot water and boil in a water bath for 15 minutes. Then remove from heat and cool for 45 minutes. We filter.

• How to prepare a herbal decoction?

Prepare the raw materials, 1 tbsp. l for 1 glass of water, pour hot water and boil in a water bath for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes. Strain while hot.

The only exception is that it is prepared according to special rules.

There is no need to increase or decrease the boiling and infusion time.

This is the optimal ratio in which all active substances are released from the medicinal raw material into an infusion or decoction, are not modified, are not inactivated, but act with optimal benefit for the body.

Bring the strained infusion or decoction to 100 ml with water and take it in the indicated dosage.

The shelf life of water infusions and decoctions is no more than three days in the refrigerator

• How to prepare an alcoholic herbal tincture?

The crushed medicinal raw materials are filled with 70% alcohol in a ratio of 1:10, infused for 30 days in a dark, cool place, hermetically sealed, then filtered and stored in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.

• It is necessary to take infusions and decoctions in accordance with the indicated dosage.
• When treating with herbs, they should not be consumed simultaneously with medicines, alcohol, fatty and spicy foods.

Are herbs in bags beneficial?

I have an ambivalent attitude towards them.

On the one hand, this is convenient, but on the other, the technology for preparing infusions and decoctions is completely broken.

And if you consider that they are made like tea bags (low-quality raw materials after sifting), then it is better to buy herbs in bulk for treatment.

Well, and also, I would like to voice the point of how to treat with herbs correctly.

When you come across some recommendation for herbal treatment or a herbal recipe, before you start using it, open a good reference book of medicinal plants (where the full chemical composition, structure, properties, etc. are indicated) and read:

• composition and contraindications of this medicinal raw material,
• pay attention to its dosage,
• component compatibility
• methods of application.

And only after that, decide whether to use this fee or not.

Some herbs today are credited with such incredible effects that you are amazed!!!

Therefore, before you believe in another myth that some herb or herb can cure, for example, alcoholism, read official studies, look at its chemical composition, what is in this herb that can really help solve this problem and draw your own conclusions.

Well, and finally, I really love medicinal products, I collect and prepare them myself.

At my house I always have thyme, mint, oregano and many others.

I am convinced that when used correctly, for certain diseases, they can have an effective therapeutic and cosmetic effect, restore strength and energy.

Therefore, be sure to use medicinal herbs, but do it correctly, and then herbal medicine will bring real benefits to you and your body.
