Golden mustache is a healing plant that came to us from the tropical forests of South America. It was there that they first began to use its properties, which are now known to folk healers around the world. In fact, it was brought to Russia in the 19th century, but then few people knew about its properties. Many grew collision solely as a houseplant. However, today we already know him as a golden mustache. Tincture of vodka (how to take it, we will tell a little later) helps with a large number of diseases, ranging from a common cold and ending with severe inflammatory processes and even oncological tumors.
Growing Features
In fact, it is very difficult to find another plant that would grow so fast and be as unpretentious as a golden mustache. Tincture of vodka (how to take it, we will tell you in detail) is made from its shoots, which grow at the speed of the most common weed. This is a powerful biostimulant that is used in traditional medicine. It tolerates any soil and virtually any temperature conditions. A few months after planting, the plant will gain enough green mass so that it can be used for the preparation of medicinal tinctures.
True, there are subtleties in using the medicinal raw material itself. Moreover, information differs in different sources, but most phytotherapist doctors agree that before using different parts of the plant, they need to be put in the refrigerator for 2 weeks (temperature range from -2 to +4). But if you need the leaves themselves, then they are kept in the refrigerator for only three days.
Chemical composition and properties
I must say that doctors recognize the healing properties of this plant. However, no traditional therapist will recommend a course of treatment based solely on the use of this plant. That's because its properties, chemical composition and side effects are not proven by reliable studies. Preparations from it belong to folk remedies. However, as one would expect, they cannot help absolutely everyone. It is not recommended to engage in self-medication, it is especially dangerous to use freshly cut leaves. In any case, your treatment should be directed by a phytotherapist. But as an indoor plant, an unpretentious collision will never be harmful. It perfectly cleans the air of pathogenic microflora.
Health benefits
Let's take a closer look at what treats a golden mustache. First of all, this is a wonderful tool to strengthen the immune system. Studies have shown that a large number of biologically active substances are found in the juice of the plant. Despite the fact that their effect on the body cannot yet be calculated 100%, we can say for sure that they very well support and activate the immune system. If contraindications do not personally apply to you, then the juice of this plant can become a real helper in the offseason. It stimulates vitality. The observations of various experts confirm that it activates the cells of the immune system. The composition of the golden mustache juice is a real storehouse of useful substances: vitamins and tannins, pectins and minerals.
What diseases does it help to fight?
Most often they do not use a golden mustache on their own. Tincture on vodka (how to take it - be sure to ask the attending phytotherapist) - this is the most popular dosage form. Moreover, the range of applications is extremely wide. People's experts use it to treat diabetes. Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and many other diseases, in particular endocrine disorders and problems with the thyroid gland, are very widely treated with the juice of this plant.
In what other cases can a golden mustache help? Leaves are a real lifesaver for bronchitis and pneumonia, tuberculosis, as well as colds. This is a great way to prevent flu.
While we talked about the use of plant juice inside, however, it is even more often used for external use. Any damage to the skin will heal very quickly, since the plant has a disinfecting effect. The reviews reliably indicate that even a large cut begins to tighten after the first day of applying the bandage. However, this is not all. The golden mustache for joints is a real lifesaver. It is used for various diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
We prepare raw materials
The plant gains its healing properties when its shoots change color, become darker and form at least 6 joints or nodes. However, it must be remembered that not the whole bush is suitable for preparing medicine. First of all, stems and leaves are used, cut at the base of the rosettes. The season also plays a role. In spring, the plant is not suitable for harvesting raw materials, since medicinal properties are manifested to the highest degree by autumn. It is at this time of the year that ointments and tinctures can be prepared.
Plant juice
The easiest way to get fresh juice of a golden mustache. Unfortunately, it is not subject to storage, therefore it is necessary to count a portion of fresh product for only one intake. However, in its pure form, it is categorically not recommended to be used, since burns of the skin or mucous membranes can be obtained. First of all, you need to ask the phytotherapist to know exactly how best to use the golden mustache. Healing properties and contraindications are quite extensive, which means that it will be difficult for you to figure it out yourself. If you decide to use the juice for external use, it is much better to mix it with any baby cream in a ratio of 2 to 3 and then apply it to the skin as an ointment. This tool perfectly helps with joint pain, arthritis and osteochondrosis, but keep in mind that it can cause an allergic reaction.
For general prevention, it is recommended to chew one joint or stem of the plant every morning. In this case, the juice should be swallowed, and the cake spit out. You can do otherwise, gently beat off the leaf and squeeze the juice out of it, mix it with honey and take a tablespoon twice a day.
Treatment for burns, abrasions and injuries
We continue to tell you how wonderful a golden mustache is. The recipes given today, you can successfully use in your home practice. However, do not forget that individual intolerance is possible, as well as an allergic reaction. Therefore, do not self-medicate. The simplest thing you can think of is to attach the crumpled leaves to the wounds. Very well, this remedy helps to treat burns. However, great care must be taken in treating large open wounds, trophic ulcers and deep burns. In the first days after the application of leaves, a significant improvement is observed. However, after 3-5 days a severe allergic reaction occurs. Therefore, it is better to use the juice of a plant diluted with boiled water 1: 5.
Golden Mustache Syrup
In the autumn and spring, many face problems such as colds and concomitant coughs. A golden mustache can help you . It is extremely important to know the medicinal properties and contraindications, although the attending physician should still evaluate its use.
Expectorant syrup is made from fresh leaves. For this you need one large sheet. It can be crushed with a knife or meat grinder and pour half a glass of water. The solution should be brought to a boil and evaporated in a water bath. This process is quite lengthy. It continues until one tablespoon of concentrated solution remains. After cooling, you need to add a tablespoon of vodka. Now prepare the syrup by boiling sugar with water in a ratio of 2: 1. With this syrup, you need to dilute the raw materials to reach a volume of 100 ml You can store it for no more than three weeks in the refrigerator.
Tincture
In fact, it is easiest to cook it, and it is stored for a long time. Therefore, in the first place, it is remembered when it comes to the golden mustache, tincture of vodka. How to take - let's consider together. I would like to separately note that it can be done on water and alcohol, in any case, the effect will be quite high. That tincture is unique in its versatility. It effectively reduces pain and helps the functioning of the endocrine glands. It has a positive effect on almost all organs and systems, in particular, on the circulatory, digestive and respiratory.
Let's take a closer look at when a golden mustache is used (tincture). The use is justified in pancreatitis and diabetes. Very often it is used for myoma and even cancerous tumors. Traditional healers note the beneficial effect of the plant on the thyroid gland.
If the infusion is made on water, then it is necessary to fill in a liter of boiling water with one large leaf of a golden mustache and leave for a day. If there is no other indication, then it should be taken 100 ml three times a day.
If the basis is alcohol, then you need to take 15 rings of collision. The raw materials need to be crushed, poured into a bottle and pour 500 g of vodka. And it is better to harvest it in the fall, at this time the golden mustache differs in the maximum healing properties. Tincture, the use of which with each new study only expands its horizons, takes about 2 weeks to prepare. All this time tincture should spend in a dark place.
You need to take one dessert spoon three times a day, 40 minutes before eating. Do not jam or drink. Tincture is a very effective remedy against tuberculosis and many diseases of the upper respiratory tract.
Oil or oil emulsion
This is not limited to the scope of such an amazing tool as a golden mustache. Recipes that can be found today in large numbers are not just effective, but can really serve as a salvation for those who have already refused official medicine. Another form that can be prepared quite simply at home is oil. To do this, the leaves and stems are carefully chopped, and pour the mixture with olive or sunflower oil. Now the whole mixture must be simmered in a water bath for 2 hours. Then it is poured into a glass bottle and cleaned in a dark and cool place for 3-4 weeks.
The golden mustache on alcohol should not be in contact with the mucous membranes, but it is for these purposes that an oil emulsion is used. Colorectal cancer is treated with microclysters of 20 g. To treat cervical cancer, use swabs soaked in this oil.
An oil emulsion can be used as chemotherapy. To do this, 30 ml of alcohol tincture must be mixed with 40 g of any (but preferably unrefined) oil. The mixture needs to be drunk in one gulp, it is enough to take it twice a day for 10 days. Then take a 5 day break and spend another three courses of treatment.
Golden mustache: contraindications
Today this plant is very popular in folk medicine. However, it must be remembered that its properties are not fully understood. This plant is not poisonous, which is the main argument of many phytotherapists. However, as you know, any medicine is poison if the dosage is slightly exceeded. We can say the same thing about the golden mustache.
Contraindications to its use are quite simple and understandable. You can not use it in case of asthma in children and adults, as well as the possibility of allergic reactions. However, one must also take into account that useful substances are contained in it in high concentration, which means that even a slight overdose threatens with serious consequences.
Like the composition, side effects are not fully understood. That is why it is not recommended to independently change the course of treatment, as well as the dosage. If your patient is a child, be sure to consult your doctor. He will be able to assess the possible risk and side effects that the golden mustache threatens. Instructions for use are for guidance only, because each of us is individual.
It is strongly not recommended to use the tincture of this plant for pregnant and lactating women. The slightest overdose leads to damage to the vocal cords and swelling, as well as a rash. At the time of treatment, it is necessary to abandon the use of salty and fatty foods, as well as sweets. Of course, you must completely give up smoking and alcohol.
