I love this plant since I was little, since I was in kindergarten I used it after fighting to the blood as training. Always after a beat, I would pick the plantain, smash it with my hands so that it would be wet with juice, then I would put it on myself and the other. Ever since I was in kindergarten I have known many medicinal plants thanks to my grandmother. Plantain is my favorite, not to mention it eliminates all kind of toxins, venom from snakes and spiders, even if you step o a rusty nail, you can use this and no need to worry about a hospital.
Now that I live Off Grid in Romania, I use this plant a lot, including as food, due to the high amount of protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. Known since ancient times for its therapeutic qualities, plantain, also called sheep's tongue, snake's tongue, frog's tongue, or rain's mother, depending on the geographical area, grows spontaneously on roadsides, near fences, in pastures and clearings, on the plain, at hill and mountain. It is not a pretentious plant and, if you need its benefits, you can also find it in winter, with a green leaf, under a thick layer of snow. From plantain, for therapeutic purposes are used leaves, rich in vitamin A, C, and K, in mucilage and tannin, but also minerals: calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium. During this period, when respiratory infections make new victims every day, it is especially useful to have plantain at home that can be used internally, in case of bronchitis, asthma, diarrhea, gastroduodenal ulcer, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, cough, rheumatism, stomatitis. , atherosclerosis, hemorrhages, but also externally, in case of abscesses, herpes, blisters, cuts, boils, rheumatic joint inflammation, certain forms of skin cancer, ulcers, varicose veins. Infusion and fresh plantain leaves are used in the treatment of insect bites, boils, in the external treatment of hemorrhoids. Decoction of plantain leaves treats old wounds, difficult to heal. Poultice with plantain soothes the pain caused by shingles. Freshly picked plantain leaves, well washed and dried in a clean towel, can be placed directly on wounds or boils, after passing over them with a twister, to leave the juice. In case of cold, sore throat and chest, cough, you can drink three to four cups of plantain tea a day. Pour 200 ml of hot water over one or two teaspoons of the dried and chopped plant, cover the pot, and let it infuse for a few minutes. Strain, sweeten with honey, and drink hot, sip by sip, for 10-15 minutes. If your throat hurts, do not drink hot tea because it would irritate your throat even more and delay healing. Few know that plantain, in the form of tincture, prepared at home, in spring, from young leaves, also treats urinary tract infections. Plantain tincture can be used for two years after harvesting the plant. Fill a jar with fresh plantain leaves, without stuffing them, over which pour food alcohol, home-made brandy, or vodka, to cover them. The vessel, tightly closed, is left to soak for 15 days, during which time it is shaken several times a day. Then, strain and keep the tincture cold, in small, dark bottles. Take 10 to 15 drops or even a teaspoon, diluted in water, against the diseases mentioned above. The tincture diluted in water is used, in the form of mouthwashes, and against toothache. It is also gargled against stomatitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, canker sores, and other mouth infections.
Scabies is caused by parasites and affect humans and animals as well.
Mostly our four-legged friends are the ones who suffer the most from it, especially homeless dogs and cats. But since I love animals and I love natural remedies, I did come with a few efficient methods to cure them. 1- Wash with natural soap, homemade soap is the best, in this case, chemicals from the chemical soaps can lead to tissue damage in time and skin cancer, check the ingredients list. 2- Oil power. Neem oil and olive oil are both very useful in order to help the skin recover fast, plus that both have antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, great for different skin conditions, including dermatitis, sunburns, irritation, antiseptic, antihelmintic... Place the oil on the affected areas and around as well in order to stop the spreading. 3- Plants power. Made as a paste and mixed in the food, this combination will make sure it will destroy the parasites that cause scabies, help to heal faster, and improve the immune system as well. List of plants with antiparasitic effects: Plantain, Wormwood, Nettle, Walnuts, Garlic, Thyme, Oregano, raw Pumpkin seeds, Dandelion leaves... These are the main ones. 4- Propolis, now this is one of the most powerful natural antibiotics that help with so many problems. 5- Baking soda. Since parasites prefer an acidic environment to live in, an alkaline system is deadly for them. Baking soda helps against parasites by making the body more alkaline. It's recommended 1 teaspoon in a glass of warm water and to drink it preferably in the morning 30 minutes before eating. When comes to dogs, simply make the same mix, let the water get colder, and then simply give it to a dog to drink it. How to use the plants to make a good mix for dogs: Take 2 leaves of plantain, 2 leaves of dandelion, 6 leaves of nettle, a teaspoon of wormwood, a spoon of peeled raw pumpkin seeds, one piece of garlic, one teaspoon of olive oil, and one walnut seed. If you have a blender it will speed up the process, if not just do your best in crushing everything together as much as possible. Once you get a paste from it, mix it with some milk or with canned wet dog food and give it to a dog to eat. Make sure you mix it well to cover the taste of the garlic. The same mix can be used for humans as well, just without mixing it with canned dog food, but well, if you like it, I am not to judge. For making a paste to apply on the skin, remove the garlic for dogs, and for humans you can keep the garlic, but it may burn a little. After keeping it for half an hour, you can clean it.
When comes about food and natural medicine, I am the one who checks every single one of them that there is in order to make the perfect medicinal food.
I love fighting, and every single fighter now that in order to get better, you need to train more and more, but it takes time to recover, and this waiting time is what I hate. I did discovered a recipe that will reduce the recovering time more than 500% but is still not complete since I want to improve it more. But of course, I will not add it in this article, but I will add the main ingredient. In Western medicine, the leaves of leaves and green Lucerne shoots, rich in all nutrients necessary for the functioning of the human body, are considered an important ingredient for maintaining health and a valuable food due to the rich digestive protein content that can supplicate animal protein food. A special recommendation is made for the food of vegetarians and persons holding a day or lasting fast. The last decades have focused a lot of research conducted in the United States and Western Europe to elucidate the therapeutic value of the plant with the popular name "Alfalfa", a term derived from the Arab word "al-fal-fa" that means "father of all foods". Specialist Gillian MC. Keith called her "live health." Alfalfa is Lucerne, with the scientific name Medicago sativa L., cultivated throughout our country as a perennial fodder plant for horses and birds, less in the northwest area of Romania, as it does not support the excess moisture and soils too acidic. Originally from western Asia, where he was cultivated since antiquity, Lucerne was known in Babylon around 1300 BC. He was brought to Europe by Arabs, first in Greece and then in Rome, being described by Varro, Columella, and the old Plinius. Later, the Arabs began cultivating Lucerne in Spain. For therapeutic purposes, it was used in China, starting in the VI century, to treat various renal conditions. Around 1550, Spanish sailors took seeds in Central and South America where they currently occupy large areas, cultivated as a fodder plant, but also as a vegetal supplement and nutritional tonic in the human diet. In Romania, it is grown in the eighteenth century, with seeds brought from France, is known for the ability to develop a very profound root system that penetrates the land to 4-5 meters, even 20-30 meters, exploiting the water reserves and Minerals in the depth, which ensures good resistance in drought. It has flowers with 10-20 blue-violate petals and twisted fruit in 2-4 spirals. For therapeutic purposes, Herba is harvested at the beginning of flowering, and seeds at full maturity. The chemical composition of the plant was detailed through numerous laboratory research, which highlighted the presence of 300 bioactive, phytotherapeutic and nutritional substances: - carbohydrates, lipids, slightly assimilable proteins, phytosterols (vegetable hormones); - eight essential amino acids (lysine, tryptophan, alanine, arginine, cysteine, proline, methionine, tyrosine); - Alkaloids, tannins, saponins, pectins, purines, coumarin; - antioxidants, flavones and flavonoids, digestive enzymes, chlorophyll; - carotenoids (beta-carotene, xanthophyll, vioxanthine, zeaxanthin, lutein); - vitamins: C (4 times more than citrus), B6, B9, B12, A, D, E, K; - organic acids: citric, malic, fumaric, succinic; - Minerals and trace elements: Ca, Fe, Mg, K, Mn, Zn, SE, with. This complex "pharmacy" with healing substances explains that Lucerne is among the "therapeutic secrets of 1,000 properties" (Frank Bouer), and through nutrient elements, "green food of the Millennium" was declared. The healing effects in Naturist medicine The therapeutic properties are multiple, explained by the biochemical components: Anti-anemic, invigorating, remineralizing, vitaminizing, antiscorbutic, depurative, detoxifying, alkalinizing, antidiabetic, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, anti-infectives, anti-infective, laxatives, diuretics, galactagogue. Lucerne leaves and flowers have proven very effective by multiple curative actions: - Strengthening the immune system in children, sick and elderly, due to the high content in carotene and chlorophyll. - Combating anemia, rachitism, and scurvy. Stimulating liver functions and eliminating liver and blood toxins by intake of fibers, carrying and eliminating intestinal residues, improving colon contractions, reducing balloons and gas, and avoiding constipation. - Digestive enzymes contribute to stimulating appetite, assimilation of nutrients in food, and combat indigestion and stomach burns. - Combat gastroduodenal gastritis and ulcers by the presence of vitamin U and act in the regeneration of the mucosa injured in the stomach and digestive tract, including after infestation with the bacteria Helicobacter pylori. - neutralizes excess gastric acidity in the stomach and blood through the alkalinizing effect; - Prevents the formation and deposition of cholesterol and fats on the inner walls of the arteries, avoiding coronary atherosclerosis and some cardiovascular disease, including strokes. By intake of vitamin K, Lucerne's strengthening of blood vessels facilitates blood clotting and prevents digestive bleeding and abundant bleeding (hypermenorrhea, metrophos, ulcerations, hard healing wounds). - Fortify the bones and teeth, avoiding the installation of osteoporosis after menopause, combat dental caries and hypocalcemia in children through the mineral complex, trace elements, and vitamins (D, E, B6). - combat renal lithalsas, urinary infections, bladder inflammation, and prostate adenoma by high zinc and vitamins (A, C, E) and chlorophyll. Having diuretic properties eliminates water retention in tissues in cases of edema, ascites, cellulite, and obesity, and excess uric acid with great benefits for gout patients. - At the level of the respiratory, it occurs in the fight against cough, bronchitis, pneumonia, and bronchial asthma. - By strong antioxidant properties, it prevents oxidative stress, combats free radicals, increases the body's resistance to prolonged physical and mental efforts, reduces fatigue and depressive states, and slows the early aging process. Forms of use In internal use, use the green powder of dried leaves in the shade and at the temperature below 380c (one teaspoon in water, juice, or yogurt, three times a day for two to three weeks), possibly compacted in tablets. Extracts in alcohol 25%, infusions, decoctions, and, very often, leaves and green shoots that consume 30 minutes before the main meals, 3-4 weeks.
