It is also called “the collection of beauty” and “the decoction of youth.” Is this where his popularity lies? Doctors of Eastern medicine are confident that the health of the whole body begins with a healthy spine and joints. In order for your joints to work for a long time and efficiently, performing all the functions assigned to them, as well as to improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, you should take a course of “Tibetan collection”. As a “side effect” you will get an improved metabolism, cleanse yourself of toxins, strengthen your entire body and, as a result, you may lose a few extra pounds.

You need to take flowers of immortelle, chamomile, St. John's wort and birch buds in equal proportions. 1 tbsp. pour 0.5 liters of boiling water over the herbal mixture and let it brew. To make the infusion more “rich,” you need to infuse it either in a thermos, or in a pan wrapped in a blanket, or keep it in a water bath for a while. That is, your task is to prevent the water from cooling quickly. Leave the mixture for no more than an hour.

You need to take it the first time in the morning on an empty stomach in a glass with 1 tsp. any natural honey. You should have breakfast no earlier than 30 minutes after taking the infusion. The second dose should be in the evening 3 hours after dinner. Naturally, after taking the infusion, do not eat anything.

For prevention, it will be enough to drink the infusion for 1 month; for medicinal purposes, it is taken for 2-3 months with a week break after each month. Important! On the 2-3-4 day, an exacerbation of your disease may occur, but it will not last long, literally a day or two. If the exacerbation does not go away for more than 4-5 days, you should stop taking the infusion and consult a doctor.

Of all the choleretic herbs, goldenrod is the most powerful choleretic, helping to empty the gallbladder and remove sand and stones from it.

How to collect and dry immortelle flowers yourself

Since all recipes involve the use of immortelle inflorescence, it is this part of it that is worth collecting. The inflorescence is an umbrella of 25-50 sunny yellow heads. Unlike other medicinal plants, which are harvested at the peak of their flowering, cat's paws are cut before the flowers ripen, which occurs mainly at the beginning of August, that is, the harvesting period occurs at the end of June - beginning and mid-July. As a rule, the inflorescences plus a small section of the stem are cut off to make it easier to dry the grass.

For drying to be successful, solar gold should be collected in dry, sunny weather after the dew has disappeared. Then the plant will be dry and it will be possible to prepare it faster and better.

Dry the bouquets with their heads down, or lay the flowers out on dry, clean paper or cardboard. The room in which you decide to dry should be isolated from direct sunlight, but there must be a constant flow of fresh air. Without air flow, the baskets can crumble into dust, and all your work will go down the drain. An excellent place for drying can be an attic or a closed part of the veranda.

Contraindications

Sandy immortelle is a fairly potent remedy, the abuse of which can negatively affect the health of the entire body. Remember that it affects not only the organ that you want to cure, but also the entire body as a whole.

The first thing you should pay attention to when starting to take immortelle is that it works as a sedative. Therefore, carefully drinking decoctions and taking pharmaceutical preparations with this herb is necessary for people who require attentiveness and concentration.

The second important property of the plant is stimulation of platelet production. People who have been diagnosed with thrombophlebitis need to be careful here. Naturally, a one-time use of the decoction will not lead to the formation of blood clots, but long-term uncontrolled use of drugs with sandy aureus can be quite dangerous for you.

The third important function of the plant is stimulation of the production of gastric juice. Therefore, in order not to develop a stomach ulcer, very dosed decoctions and preparations with immortelle should be taken by people with gastritis and high acidity of gastric juice.

Remember also that immortelle toxins accumulate in the liver, which can cause stagnation of blood in the organ. Therefore, we strongly recommend starting treatment under the supervision and prescription of the attending physician.

Contraindications for use

Contraindicated in the following situations:

• obstructive jaundice;
• pregnancy, breastfeeding;
• individual intolerance;
• exacerbation of allergies.

The plant is not toxic, but long-term use can lead to accumulation in the body and congestion in the liver. The drug should be used for no more than three months. Since immortelle can slightly increase blood pressure, if you have hypertension, it is advisable to consult a doctor before use.
