Recently, the once-forgotten healing herb Ortilia one-sided, better known as the uterus, has come out of oblivion and is gaining more and more popularity in folk medicine. I must say that this is an old, centuries-old tool. Pine uterus is not the only popular name for this herb.
In different regions of our country, it is called differently:
female grass , rabbit salt, babnik, wine grass, etc. This is not a complete list. In traditional medicine, this herb is called one-sided orthilia, by the way, it should be noted that doctors treat it ambiguously and very cautiously. The thing is that science has not yet fully explored its effectiveness.
The plant is perennial and belongs to the heather family. It grows in forests with a cold and temperate climate. It is especially common in Siberia, in Altai. This medicinal plant has long, creeping stems, from which annual branches diverge. The leaves have a rounded wedge-shaped base, leaves are ovoid in shape with pointed tops on short and thin petioles. Very small, light green flowers are collected in one brush. The flowers are all turned in one direction - hence the name Ortilia is one-sided. In dry coniferous forests, this grass often forms dense thickets.
It is interesting that when transplanting to the garden plot, it takes root very well, does not require special care, and at the same time, the orthilium is one-sided. Reviews about it can be read on the Internet. Gardeners who cultivate this plant for many years on their site recommend planting it away from garden crops. The thing is that vegetables require additional fertilizer, and any medicinal plants cannot tolerate this, including one-sided orthilia.
The boron uterus after fertilizing can become stronger externally, will grow faster, its leaves will become larger. But fertilizer will change its chemical composition. If you use such plants for the manufacture of medicines, then instead of the expected benefits, you will harm your body.
The healing properties of the hog uterus (one-sided orthilia) were well known to the Old Believers, who first settled in Altai. They were noble herbalists and knew very well how to uncover the medicinal properties of herbs, berries and roots. Recipes that were created by the Old Believers are a valuable legacy for modern herbalists and pharmacists. Grass is harvested manually at a strictly defined time in accordance with a special calendar, dried and processed near the place of collection.
