People have used herbs to treat various diseases for centuries and millennia. Through trial and error, herbalists came to the conclusion, from which this or that herb helps. In exactly the same way it was revealed that there is a plant that helps from almost everything. And this weed called astragalus. Syrup (a modern form of release) or an infusion made from it has a wide range of applications.
A bit of history
Astragalus woolly-flowered (under this name scientists know it) belongs to the legume family. The people call this plant a little differently - feline peas. This grass is known and is called the Polish count, centaury. And this perennial plant rightfully belongs to the name "Scythian grass of life." Scythian healers used infusions from this plant exclusively for the treatment of royal persons. Commoners of that time were forbidden to be treated with astragalus by law, the violation of which could cost their lives. Infusion (the predecessor of the modern form of release - syrup) of grass Astragalus woolly was prescribed for use by all men of the royal family without fail. The then doctors were sure that this plant helps even from old age.
The steppe and forest-steppe zones of the European part of Russia, the south of the country, are considered to be astragalus. Due to the fact that the plant is less and less found in nature in the wild, astragalus is listed in the Red Book. For medicinal use, the plant is harvested during the period of mass flowering (May, June).
What's the secret?
For many centuries, the plant was used by people purely intuitively, because it helped against so many diseases. At the beginning of the 20th century, scientists discovered this secret. The astragalus plant (syrup or infusion is even more so than the plant itself) simply abounds in flavonoids. Moreover, it is so rich that it is able to withstand cancer. In addition, these substances (flavonoids) are able to absorb excess ultraviolet radiation from the human body, thereby protecting it from radiation.
Astragalus is also rich in organic acids, the presence of which can have a positive effect on the digestion process. With the participation of these acids, the human body effectively absorbs all the beneficial substances that come from food. A useful microflora is formed in the intestine, and the rate of development of putrefactive processes decreases.
Separate words require tannins contained in astragalus. Their sphere of influence is participation in the synthesis of hemoglobin, strengthening of the walls of blood vessels, bactericidal and astringent properties. The mass of effects is exerted by the essential oils that make up the astragalus plant. A syrup (as well as an infusion) can have a lot of positive effects: anti-inflammatory, expectorant, antimicrobial, sedative and many others. However, a trace element deserves the trace element selenium.
Selenium Astragalus Aura
The effect of selenium on the human body can be called comprehensive. In the mid-70s of the last century, Chinese scientists started talking about the benefits of selenium. At first it was found that in a separate group of patients (children and young women) selenium is able to cure heart muscle diseases. Further, it turned out that with the participation of this microelement, the activity of the heart is normalized in patients of all ages, the vascular walls are strengthened. And as you know, healthy vessels are an extension of the youth of the whole organism.
However, the sphere of influence of selenium is not limited only to the heart and blood vessels. Experts recommend taking selenium in one form or another for people suffering from diseases of the digestive system, liver, tumors of various etymologies, and allergy manifestations. In general, if a person wants to be healthy, he must make up for the lack of selenium in his body.
So, astragalus has, one might say, selenium gift. The Astragalus syrup (including the herb itself) contains selenium along with vitamins C and E. But it is these vitamins that doctors prescribe in parallel with taking selenium-containing drugs. That is, nature independently took care of the maximum assimilation of selenium, which is possible only against the background of the presence of vitamins E and C.
Why syrup?
Usually a person is inclined to believe that he can plant any medicinal plant in his garden, and it will have all the properties described in medical encyclopedias. In some cases, this may not be far from the truth. But with astragalus, everything is completely wrong. Any plant accumulates in itself those elements that are in the soil. Therefore, for the production of syrup, the academician of the RAEN Voshchenko V.A. was recommended to use only wild plants growing in ecologically clean areas. It is in such conditions that selenium accumulates, which has such a wide effect on the human body.
In addition, at home it is impossible to comply with all conditions and prepare high-quality syrup Voshchenko Astragalus. And in industrial production, as a rule, all, even the most insignificant nuances in the opinion of the average person, are taken into account. Therefore, the product is high-quality, with a lot of positive effects and indications for use.
