It has a thick creeping rhizome. Many buds form on the roots, through which the plant reproduces vegetatively.

The stem is straight, round on the cut, densely covered with leaves.

The leaves are alternate, sessile, simple, linear-lanceolate, pointed, sometimes almost round, from 4 to 12 cm long and 7 to 20 mm wide. On the front side, the leaves are dark green, shiny, on the back - dark green, reddish or light pink. Along the edges of the leaves are glandular-toothed or solid.

The flowers are large, wide open, dark red or pink, sometimes white, with a double perianth. The flowers have four petals, up to 3 cm wide.

Ivan-chai angustifolia, unlike other species of the genus Ivan-chai, is characterized by the presence of the so-called seeds on the seeds. tuft (fluff), through which the seeds are able to move downwind over long distances.

Pollen grains are three-pore, rounded. They reach 4.8 - 8.4 microns in width. Pollen from willow-tea is yellow-green.

Collection and drying

Leaves, flowers and rhizomes of willow-tea are used in folk medicine. Rarely use unblown shoots. Raw materials are harvested during the flowering period.

Koporye tea

Story

Fireweed tea has been known since ancient times. In the 12th century, Alexander Nevsky recaptured the fortress from the Teutonic Knights and destroyed it. On the site of the fortress, the village of Koporie arose, the inhabitants of which were most successful in harvesting and selling tea from fireweed angustifolia. Therefore, he subsequently received a second name - Koporye tea. It is also called Ivan-chai, Russian tea. This drink is mentioned in ancient Russian manuscripts, it was popular even at the time of the founding of Moscow, it was also loved in Europe.

At the end of the 19th century, Ivan tea began to seriously compete with Indian tea, which was exclusively traded by the British East India Company. Great Britain, owning huge tea plantations in South Asia, regularly bought thousands of tons of Russian tea, since it was very popular among the inhabitants of the island. Subsequently, under the pretext that producers of Koporye tea add white clay to it, the import of the product was stopped. Koporye quickly fell into disrepair.

Useful properties of Ivan-tea (Koporsky tea)

Ivan-tea, which has a great aroma and pleasant taste, is a very useful plant with a number of medicinal properties.

Dentists recognize its anti-inflammatory effects as well as its ability to prevent tooth decay. Therapists note that when using willow-tea, the body's resistance to respiratory viral infectious diseases increases, the function of the liver and kidneys normalizes, and potency increases. When using willow-tea in the body, the blood begins to be cleansed, and its composition is optimized. Thanks to this, the drink is used in the treatment of food, alcohol and nicotine intoxications, and accelerates the recovery of patients. Even Tibetan monks use fireweed angustifolia to treat the skin, and Chinese healers - for certain bleeding. In medical sources, there are references to the ability of fireweed to increase fertility. In Soviet times, Ivan-tea was used to prepare the antitumor drug Hanerol, which proved to be effective in studies.

withering

Fireweed leaves are distributed on paper or fabric with a layer no higher than 5 cm, for 15-24 hours. Leaves should be stirred from time to time so that wilting occurs evenly and the upper leaves do not dry out.

Twisting

Grinding between the palms, fireweed leaves are twisted into small spiral sausages, about 5-10 cm long. Twisting is done until the leaves turn dark from the released juice.

Fermentation

Spindle-shaped sausages from twisted leaves of fireweed are placed in an enamel bowl, spreading them with a layer 5 cm high. The leaves are covered with a piece of wet cloth from above, and placed in a warm place (at a temperature of 24-27 degrees) for 6-12 hours. The higher the temperature of the environment, the which tea is placed, the faster fermentation occurs. Fermentation is considered sufficient if the herbal smell of the leaves changes to a strong floral-fruity aroma.

Important! Leaves should not be placed in an environment with too high a temperature, or fermented for longer than the recommended time - in this case, fireweed tea, as a rule, acquires an unpleasant odor and loses its positive taste.

Drying

After fermentation is completed, the leaves are cut into small pieces, placed in a sieve or baking sheet, which are pre-lined with parchment paper. The crushed tea is evenly distributed over the surface of the paper with a layer of no more than 1.5 cm, and dried at a temperature of 100 degrees for 1 hour. It is recommended to dry willow-tea in special dryers. Periodically, you should check the readiness of tea to the touch. Well-dried fireweed is very similar in appearance to ordinary black tea, but it clearly surpasses it in strength and strength of aroma. If you squeeze a tea leaf between your fingers, it should break, but not crumble into powder. When all the tea has reached the above-described condition, the drying temperature is reduced, and the draft is significantly increased.

Important! Do not overexpose tea in the dryer. If the fermented fireweed is dried for too long, or at too high a temperature, the tea will "give" paper.

Storage

Fermented and dried fireweed, like regular tea from the leaves of the tea bush, should be stored in a hermetically sealed container. The most convenient dish for storing ready-made Ivan tea at home is a glass jar with a nylon lid.

Reviews about Koporye tea

Many people, having once tried improperly prepared Ivan tea, are disappointed in this drink, considering its taste unpleasant. This happens when a non-professional was engaged in the preparation of raw materials. If a branded conveyor-made product was used to brew the drink, its taste can also be disappointing. In addition, such a product is usually quite expensive.

Most phytotherapists and herbalists agree that in order to make really high-quality Ivan tea, all manipulations with a leaf of fireweed must be done manually.

Therefore, in order to appreciate tea from fireweed angustifolia, it is extremely important to follow all the rules for collecting, fermenting, drying and storing the leaves of the plant.

Connoisseurs of Koporye tea unanimously claim that a properly prepared leaf of angustifolium fireweed allows you to prepare a drink that surpasses the best varieties of ordinary tea in its taste. Well, as far as health benefits are concerned, then ordinary tea made from the leaf of camellia sinensis cannot be compared with Ivan tea.

Which tea is healthier: Ivan tea or "Indian" tea

In Russia, the import of Koporye tea from abroad, as well as its sale within the country, were banned, although the drink is harmless to health. Gradually, Indian tea began to gain popularity in all sectors of society, and Ivan tea was undeservedly forgotten.

The consequences of such a massive passion for foreign teas are far from always positive. Many nutritionists and doctors are sure that this hobby is to blame for the increase in the number of strokes, myocardial infarctions, and nervous breakdowns. And all this is due to the fact that tea from the leaves of the tea bush (camellia sinensis) contains a large amount of caffeine. The human body, which in the process of evolution has never encountered such an amount of caffeine entering it, simply cannot absorb and utilize it completely.

Everyone knows that caffeine increases activity and activates the processes of excitation in the cerebral cortex, and also increases motor activity. The alkaloids contained in the leaves of camellia sinensis, and, subsequently, in the drink, have a stimulating effect on the heart. The contractions of the heart muscle increase and intensify. Subsequently, a person feels a certain surge of strength. However, such an unnatural "warming up" of the body is accompanied by high energy costs. With regular use of caffeine in large quantities, nerve cells are depleted, and over time, a person will feel tired, which will last much longer than a short burst of energy after a cup of tea. Therefore, doctors and nutritionists are increasingly agreeing that camellia sinensis tea should not be consumed regularly - this drink will be useful once a week, and for some - even once a month.

Caffeine is contraindicated in many pathologies: insomnia, arterial hypertension, atherosclerosis, glaucoma, diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Excessive consumption of drinks rich in caffeine causes an exacerbation of diseases of the digestive tract. Also, tea tannins activate the excretion of elements such as calcium, magnesium and phosphorus from the body. Thus, tea, like coffee, exhausts people who consume it daily, and in large quantities. However, moderate consumption of tea, especially green tea, is recognized as beneficial.

Ivan-chai, in turn, does not contain caffeine. It contains substances that bring only benefits to the body. Therefore, Koporye tea for most people, in comparison with ordinary tea, is a healthier drink.

Ivan tea for prostate adenoma

Prostate adenoma is an unpleasant and dangerous disease from which no man is immune. Most herbalists confirm that Ivan tea helps with prostate adenoma. It is believed that the phytosterols contained in the plant slow down or stop prostate hyperplasia.

Regular intake of Ivan-tea, as well as the encapsulated preparation of the plant, allows many patients to avoid surgical intervention, since the gland ceases to increase in size. German phytotherapeutists state the following: “Willow tea water extract has been proven to have a powerful anti-inflammatory and healing effect in acute and chronic prostate pathologies in the first and second stages of adenoma, in cystitis, and can also be used in combination with other drugs after surgery on In case of pathologies of the prostate gland, in addition to narrow-leaved willow tea, eating pumpkin seeds helps, which speeds up the healing process.

The substance contained in the fireweed angustifolia, and providing the main therapeutic effect, is called beta-sitosterol. In the treatment of prostate adenoma, beta-sitosterol plays an important role, since it reduces the likelihood of prostate hyperplasia, as well as malignant degeneration of its cells. Also, this substance reduces the concentration of cholesterol in the blood plasma, and normalizes metabolism. German pharmacists B. Theis and P. Theis proved that preparations from fireweed angustifolia inhibit inflammation in the prostate, which makes it possible to use it in the treatment of adenoma.

When used together with other plants, for example, as part of fees, the therapeutic effect is complementary and enhanced. Infusions of such fees should be consumed in courses.

Ivan tea in the treatment of cancer

Since Ivan tea contains a number of useful vitamins, microelements and organic substances, it can be recommended for chemotherapy and radiotherapy, as a general tonic and vitamin remedy.

However, the benefits of Ivan tea in the treatment of oncology do not end there. There are scientific data on the antitumor properties of fireweed angustifolia. These properties are provided by the content in the plant of the active substance hanerol, which has antitumor activity. Back in the 80s, Soviet scientists developed the drug Hanerol, which, according to research results, turned out to be an effective antitumor agent for certain types of cancer. However, for a number of reasons, the production of the drug was closed.

Ivan tea for excess weight and double chin

Known folk recipe for the use of Ivan-tea with a pinch of salt. It is drunk in 150 ml, half an hour before meals. Thanks to this, excess weight will go away, and you will also get rid of a double chin. It appears due to violations in the functioning of the salivary glands. Salivary glands become deficient in salt and increase saliva production to prevent chewing and swallowing problems. The flow of blood to the glands increases, the vessels begin to secrete lymphoid fluid for the formation of saliva. However, the lymphoid fluid also penetrates beyond the salivary glands, accumulating in the subcutaneous space of the chin and neck. When using salted Ivan-tea, this process stops, and the second chin disappears over time.

Salted willow tea is similar in composition to kelp. Therefore, steamed tea can not be thrown away, but eaten like greens for meat and fish dishes.

Ivan tea honey (fireweed honey)

Ivan-tea honey is usually called fireweed honey. Fireweed angustifolium has a number of medicinal properties, and it contains a large amount of vitamins, trace elements and nutrients. Of course, the bees do not know about this, but they still diligently collect nectar from its flowers.

Such an addiction of bees is quite understandable: Ivan-tea is an excellent honey plant. Due to its wonderful smell, it attracts bees from great distances. From the collected nectar, very fragrant, tasty and healthy honey is obtained.

Fireweed honey has earned its popularity among lovers and connoisseurs of good varieties of honey. However, it has not yet gained mass popularity, perhaps due to its specific appearance.

Ivan-tea honey is yellowish or slightly greenish, in consistency, like cream. It is quickly sugared, so clots are formed in it, resembling grains or snowflakes. When honey is candied, it takes on a lighter shade, which puzzles many people. Many begin to suspect that they were sold low-quality honey, or it was diluted with sugar syrup. However, only a few connoisseurs of this product know that Ivan tea honey is one of the most common in Russia.

As a result, ignorant people, wishing to purchase high-quality, natural honey, often opt for a beautiful but useless fake. Dyes and other food additives, not always of natural origin, are added to it, which allow turning honey into a beautiful uniform mass. It is very difficult to get the benefit of such a product, but you can get poisoned by it, since it is not always possible to find out in advance what substances were added to it to create the perfect color.

In addition to poisoning, allergic reactions can develop on fake honey. But natural honey from Ivan tea can rarely cause allergies. As a rule, it helps the human body get used to various foods in the diet, and also increases its resistance to external factors. Of course, only natural fireweed honey has such an effect, which, if desired, can be easily learned to distinguish from the best fakes.

Properties and application

Ivan-tea honey has been used in folk medicine since ancient times. Our ancestors understood that honey has all the beneficial effects that fireweed itself has. Therefore, it was used to treat the same pathologies.

Scientists are still only studying the properties of this variety of honey. However, even today it finds application as a cosmetic product. It is added to scrubs and creams to make the skin softer and healthier. In recipes that have come to us from time immemorial, you can find many interesting ways to use fireweed honey. For example, they were smeared with it in a bath, then removed, after which they washed the body well - such a procedure cleanses, nourishes and rejuvenates the skin, eliminating wrinkles. Such properties of honey were noticed by cosmetic manufacturers, and they began to add it to many cosmetic products in order to act on the skin in a natural way.

Of great interest is the practice of using honey from willow tea in the treatment of pathologies of the skin and mucous membranes (only natural honey is used, without any additives). Many experts did not immediately believe in this, but scientific data have shown to confirm the effectiveness of such therapy. People successfully treat boils, boils, acne and other problem areas of the skin with fireweed honey. Just like Ivan tea itself, honey from it has antiseptic properties - it destroys pathogens, cleanses the skin - and the disease recedes.

Of course, fireweed honey is not a panacea for all skin diseases, so you should not count on miraculous healing. If, for example, the origin of a skin rash is associated with some internal disturbances or pathological processes, honey will not be effective in its treatment. Therefore, doctors recommend starting to engage in medical treatment only after examination by a dermatologist. If you take up the treatment of a skin disease with honey, without finding out its cause, you can even worsen your condition.

There are still discussions among nutritionists and other doctors about the properties and range of applications of honey from willow tea. In the people, it is used not only for skin problems, but also for pathologies of internal organs. At the same time, the range of recommendations for its use in traditional medicine is so wide that sometimes narrow-leaved fireweed was considered a witch's potion. However, without a doubt, it can be argued that fireweed honey helps with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. For this, 1 tsp. honey is diluted in a cup of warm boiled water, and drunk in the morning, on an empty stomach. Such a pleasant medicine stabilizes the work of the intestines, destroys pathogenic bacteria and lowers the acidity of gastric juice. In view of this property of Ivan-tea honey, it is often used as part of the treatment of hyperacid gastritis. Accordingly, with gastritis with severely low acidity, fireweed honey is not recommended.

Also, nutritionists and traditional medicine experts recommend eating 1 tsp. fireweed honey, as it saturates the body with vitamins, and also increases its defenses. However, you should not eat it excessively, because with daily and immoderate use, fireweed honey can adversely affect the state of health, simply because any substance that brings only crawling in adequate quantities can cause intoxication.

The therapeutic and prophylactic properties of honey from willow-herb tea were appreciated in cardiology and psychotherapy. Natural fireweed honey improves the condition of the walls of blood vessels and capillaries, normalizes the functioning of the heart muscle, and has a positive effect on arterial and intracranial pressure. If a person has insomnia, you can eat a teaspoon of honey before going to bed and drink it with cool water (you should not drink honey with hot water, as this significantly reduces its useful qualities). This recommendation also applies to persons who have any disorders of the nervous system.

Thus, moderate and proper use of natural fireweed honey can only strengthen your health, give you vigor and fill you with strength. And before going to bed, on the contrary, it will help you relax and enjoy a restful, restorative sleep.

Contraindications

Ivan-tea is contraindicated only in case of hypersensitivity to any substances of the plant.

According to popular beliefs, Ivan tea should not be drunk in large quantities by men, as this can lead to a decrease in potency. However, this belief is not scientifically confirmed, so trusting this recommendation or not is an individual matter.

Since the use of fireweed honey leads to a decrease in the acidity of gastric juice, it is not recommended for gastritis with low acidity.

Side effects

With prolonged and immoderate intake of Ivan-tea, an intestinal disorder may occur, which disappears on its own when you stop taking fireweed preparations. Before use, you should consult with a specialist.

Name in Latin: Chamerion angustifolium

Synonyms: fireweed angustifolium, Koporsky tea

Description

Ivan-tea, also called narrow-leaved fireweed, is a medicinal herbaceous plant that belongs to perennials.

Procurement and storage

In order to harvest the fireweed, you need to choose the period of summer when the flowers on the plant have already appeared, but the inflorescence did not have time to fully bloom. This period begins around the middle of summer. By the end of summer, when fruits with seeds have already appeared on the lower part of the inflorescence, the fireweed is unsuitable for collection - the fluff from the seeds can get into the raw material and spoil it.

The ground part of the plant is harvested, which is cut off approximately in the middle of the stem. The collected raw materials are dried, spreading out in a thin layer. For fermentation, the collected grass is first rolled into a roll, which is compressed in order for the plant to give juice, and is left rolled for a while.

Hello, Natalia!
I assume that much of his behavior is determined by the drugs that are usually prescribed for schizophrenia (Aminazine, Haloperidol). If so, we must try to remove their metabolites from the body - prevent constipation, improve excretion through the kidneys (feed, for example, watermelons, zucchini, etc.), do fasting days only on juices or milk. Start cleansing with milk thistle flour - give before meals 1 des.l., washed down with water, for a month.
For the time being, we will make the basis of herbal therapy Meadow lumbago and the collection of herbs.
1. Infusion of meadow lumbago.
- 1 tsp dry chopped herb Pulsatula meadow pour 1 cup boiling water and leave for 30 minutes (no more). Strain. Give to drink 1 des.l. every 3 hours - if the son takes the above or similar drugs; and 1 tsp. - if NOT accepted.
Reception - 9, 12, 15, 18 and 21 hours. Use the rest on the second day. Course - 3 weeks. If the effects (more reasonable actions, more even mood) do not suit you, continue to give the collection and start taking Siberian Shiksha; let's postpone the shot for now.
2. Decoction of Siberian Shiksha.
- 1 tablespoon with the top of chopped Siberian Shiksha grass pour 500.0 ml of water in an enamel mug, bring to a boil and simmer for exactly 7 minutes over low heat. Remove, cool. Do not remove the grass from the broth, store the broth in the refrigerator. It is convenient to pour a volume of about 150.0 ml in the morning, drink 2-3 sips at least 5-7 times a day.
Repeat daily until the decoction is finished. Then again pour the same raw material with 500.0 ml of water and cook in the same way. Cook the broth in this way until it becomes pale (2-3 times), and only then use new raw materials. Course - 4 months without a break.
I think that you should drink Siberian Shiksha, first of all! Hope you enjoy it!
3. Collection of herbs.
Roots: Astragalus membranous - 1; Ginkgo biloba - 1, narrow-leaved fireweed - 2, common toadflax - 1 des.l., blood-red hawthorn fruits - 2, rose hips - 3, loosestrife loosestrife - 2.

- 1 tbsp mixture pour 300.0 ml of cold drinking water for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, 15 minutes.
Cool, strain, squeeze and add to 300.0 ml.

Have a good start, Natalia.
I'm waiting for the first results.

Hello Yulia Evgenievna!

I am treated with you to maintain the thyroid gland. But now I am writing to you with the hope that you will advise something to prolong the life of my father. 69 years old, rectal cancer, with single metastases in the liver and lungs according to tamography, although I may be missing something, this is what I managed to remember.

When heavy bleeding started two weeks ago, that's how we learned about this diagnosis. Before that, he did not complain about anything, he worked. But for several months he often went to the toilet, a little bit, but since the district hospital no one apparently even suspected that this was something serious. And then I strained strongly in the toilet and here.

Tanya, good day, I sympathize!

My opinion is that now your dad needs to drink general strengthening and sedative preparations, because this diagnosis is a huge shock for him! Avoid constipation, there are mild laxative herbs in the collection. But with heavy artillery in the form of plant poisons, you have to wait. They are not used in chemotherapy, and cutting them off is highly undesirable. Let him do what he wants at home - so he is saved from the horror that befell him and his family. But nothing heavy (more than 2 kg) can not be lifted!

1. Sorbifer Durules, tablets. Drink according to the instructions for a month.

Hello dear Ilya!

Now everything has become clear! You are being treated truly heroically, and this is cruel to yourself! But, nevertheless, "burning yourself with milk, blowing on water" is not necessary! , this is poison to all poisons. You drank a 10% tincture, and this is an ordinary fortress, provided you take it according to the slide scheme, from 1 initial drop!

I think that it is possible to repeat the drip, but more carefully - from 1 drop twice a day, adding 1 drop daily per dose. Make the peak of the slide at 20 drops and go down. Otherwise, only the red fly agaric, in the finished tincture, can be compared with.

Grind grass and fruits evenly up to 2-3 mm, roots up to 3-5 mm - at the beginning mechanically to small pieces, then on a coffee grinder; mix evenly.

Herbs without a dose should be taken in tablespoons.

1 tbsp mixture pour 300.0 ml of cold drinking water for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, 15 minutes.

Cool, strain, squeeze and add to 300.0 ml.

Drink 100.0 ml three times a day, 30 minutes before meals. Course - 2 months.

And, before saying "Goodbye", Ilya, once again I ask you to write the address carefully - in May there were no letters from you!

02.08.18 Marina

Good afternoon.

I really need your advice. In June 2014, my mother had her breast removed - a hormone-dependent low-grade cancer. Stage 2 was diagnosed, the lymph nodes were clean. We are very sorry that nothing was used, except for hormone therapy, of course, prescribed by oncologists. But it was possible.

But the doctors assured us that we applied on time, that everything was removed. No one took into account that the tumor was on the inside of the chest, and the axillary lymph nodes in our case are not an indicator. In January, my mother became ill, her neck swelled up. After the examination, metastases were found in the parasternal and supraclavicular lymph nodes on the side of the operation. Have changed a hormonal therapy, drinks.

They began to take homeopathic Konium and Lachesis, tincture of Chaga (multi-component with herbs, honey), bitter almonds, burdock root, turmeric, ginger, garlic. All this was added gradually. Three months later, the tumor in the mediastinum at the same level, above the clavicle, decreased by 1 cm.

Hello Marina!

If you are now drinking the second slide of Aconite, it is important when you make the peak and begin to decline. As a rule, the peak of the second slide is made on 20 drops, three times a day. Then there is a break of 2 weeks and a visit to the third and last hill of Aconite.

It is definitely necessary to add local therapy aimed at reducing the lymph nodes; immediately start and do not stop taking strong hepatoprotectors (Heptral, Essentiale Forte, Lohein, Blastofag, etc.); compare both collections and choose the option of their combination.

Pour 50.0 grams of crushed root with 500.0 ml of vodka or cognac and leave for 14 days in a dark place, shaking occasionally. Strain. Drink 15 drops 3 times a day, 30 minutes before meals under pressure control. Course - 3 weeks, break 2 weeks and repeat.

2. Collection of herbs, now:

Grind grass and fruits evenly up to 2-3 mm, roots up to 3-5 mm - at the beginning mechanically to small pieces, then on a coffee grinder; mix evenly.

Herbs without a dose should be taken in tablespoons.

1 tbsp mixture pour 300.0 ml of cold drinking water for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, 15 minutes.

Cool, strain, squeeze and add to 300.0 ml.

Drink 100.0 ml three times a day, 30 minutes before meals. Course - 2 months.

3. Locally.

6.0 g of a well-chopped root, or high Larkspur herb, pour 110.0 ml of boiling water, cook for 10 minutes over low heat under a lid, add up to 110.0 ml of hot water and strain. Divide the cake in half, put in 2 gauze napkins, moisten in broth and fix on the lymph nodes and mediastinum (sternum) for thirty to forty minutes, 2 times a day. Course - 3 weeks; break 2 weeks and repeat.

4. In the future, it is possible to actively use rectal suppositories - antitumor, or analgesic, decongestant, etc.

The active substance, when administered rectally, enters the bloodstream without passing through the liver. It is important!

5. Everything else is enough, but a system is needed, which I hope you follow.

6. Nutrition - you need to limit the amount of protein.

All the best, keep in touch!

Hello.

Tell me, what is the difference between the properties of fermented Ivan-tea and unfermented? I mean which one is more efficient?

Can Red Root tincture be made with pure, undiluted alcohol?

Good afternoon!

Fermentation is the withering, not drying, of the leaves of a fresh plant.

At the same time, the taste changes for the better (becomes more pronounced), and the efficiency increases slightly.

Tinctures are always made with 40% or 70% alcohol. Alcohol of a higher concentration burns the plant, that is, it denatures proteins, polysaccharides and other biologically active substances, leaving no useful properties.

Translation tables are in any textbook on inorganic chemistry.

We will be glad to see you in the Staroslav Ecofactory brand stores in your city, as well as in our online store.

GOOD LUCK Roman!

07/13/18 Natalia

Hello.

Six months ago, on ultrasound, they found 2 fibroids, small in size. The doctor prescribed: lindinet 20. In the first month of taking it, I felt very unwell every day, I gained 4 kg. The second month is the same, only + 2 kg. Stopped drinking.

For ten days, after the drug was discontinued, the pressure periodically increased, plus the chest itched, and when pressed, she found that a liquid was released, like colostrum. But all this has passed, only the weight will not return to normal.

I am on the treadmill and doing exercises. I don't eat sweets or starchy foods. I try to stick to dietary restrictions. In the first phase, it was possible to lose 3 kg, but in the second phase they again run up.

I read a lot of information on the Internet and decided to drink the Red Brush tincture. I think that it will help me restore my hormonal levels, and the weight will return to normal. I just believe in the help of herbs. I love Chamomile, Horsetail, Fireweed and St. John's wort.

Tell me, please, am I doing the right thing by drinking the Red Brush? Thank you very much for your answer!

Hello Natasha!

I'm glad you love herbs! But in your case, the Red Brush is unlikely to have a serious impact on you. It is known for stimulating the functions of the thyroid and adrenal glands. But you don't know your hormones. I think, that at you Prolactin, probably, TTG and FSH is raised or increased a little. It is necessary to donate blood for these hormones from 2-5 days of the monthly cycle. In the meantime, if the Red Brush tones you up without excitement and palpitations, you can drink it.

Good luck Natasha, welcome back! :-)

07/12/18 Tatyana

Good day, Yulia Evgenievna.

I stumbled upon this site by accident, and after reading your answers, I also wanted to write you a letter. If you allow me, I will write my own story.

Now I am 30 years old. In June of this year, during a physical examination, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma - in the mediastinum, a rather large tumor: 6 * 8 cm. the structure is very dense, even stony and adjacent to large vessels.

Now he has 6-8 cycles of chemotherapy ahead of him. Of course, I am very worried, because. never had health problems, but here it is.

Tell me, please, with what herbs can I help my body endure the consequences of chemistry and break this tumor, if possible?

Hello Tanya!

Fortunately, such herbs exist! Moreover, numerous medicines are made from these herbs for blood diseases. Now it is necessary to transfer chemotherapy with maximum success. Collection of herbs No. 2 will help you. And it can be continued after chemotherapy.

After the end of chemotherapy, you can not calm down. Having entered remission, one must live carefully, always remembering the ability of any tumor to flare up under any adverse circumstances.

Therefore, the herbs will be those that simultaneously support the immune organs, hematopoiesis, and nervous activity. Let's not forget about the center of the extinguished fire in the mediastinum (a complex of organs located behind the sternum).

Grind grass and fruits evenly up to 2-3 mm, roots up to 3-5 mm - at the beginning mechanically to small pieces, then on a coffee grinder; mix evenly.

Herbs without a dose should be taken in tablespoons.

Hello!

You need to start with the right lifestyle! For many people, after they get "nervous", the stomach starts to hurt, heartburn appears; with constant stress - their outcome is often peptic ulcer of the stomach and 12 duodenal ulcer.

But the most classic example of the connection between the central nervous system and digestion is a bear's disease ")). Therefore, one must remember the regulatory role of higher nervous activity in digestion and take care of one's nerves. And one must begin recovery simultaneously with the nervous system and diet.

Herbs without a dose should be taken in tablespoons.

1 tbsp mixture pour 300.0 ml of cold drinking water for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, 15 minutes.

Cool, strain, squeeze and add to 300.0 ml.

Drink 100.0 ml three times a day, 30 minutes before meals. Course - 2 months.

Good afternoon, Tatyana!

You don't state your age, but your FSH and LH indicate you are in perimenopause.

Andrey, good day!

Embarking on the path of intervention in the brain with antidepressants is effective, but dangerous due to addiction. But there are soft drugs, for example, Citalopram. But this is the competence of a psychoneurologist.

I recommend starting with herbs. First, you need to adjust the pressure. Maybe it's the pressure that's affecting you? In the morning it is high for you, because it usually rises at 4 o'clock and keeps. Try to drink Concor also at night.

But I don't know your situation, age, and I won't risk analyzing it.

Start with herbs that improve cerebral circulation:

Grind grass and fruits evenly up to 2-3 mm, roots up to 3-5 mm - at the beginning mechanically to small pieces, then on a coffee grinder; mix evenly.

Herbs without a dose should be taken in tablespoons.

1 tbsp pour 250.0 ml of cold drinking water for an hour, then bring to a boil and after 10 minutes add 1 coff.l. grated nutmeg, and 1 tsp. powdered ginger root and cinnamon. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath for another 5 minutes.

Cool, strain, squeeze and add to 250.0 ml.

Drink 80.0 ml three times a day, 30 minutes before meals. The course is 1 month.

Hello, Victoria Alekseevna!

For my part, I can assume that this is how the pancreas reacts.

Give Papa Hofitol according to the instructions for 3 weeks, or add Common agrimony:

Grind the grass into powder, give 1 tsp. 3-4 times a day, washed down with a sip of water, turning the powder into a pulp in the mouth.

If you decide on Aconite, the tincture is NOT diluted, but dripped into the water with an eye dropper.

The slide regimen begins with 1 drop, 2 or 3 times a day, with a daily dose increase of 1 drop at each dose.

Peak slides on 20 drops, 2 or 3 times a day.

Water. From 1-12 drops drip into a glass with 70.0 ml of water; from 13 drops and further in 100.0 ml of water.

1. Tincture.

50 grams of roots, crushed to rice grits, pour 500.0 ml of 60% alcohol for 14 days, shake occasionally. Strain, drink 15 drops in 70.0 ml of water. Course - 1 month, break 10-14 days and repeat as needed.

Melt in a water bath, or an oven preheated to 70 degrees 250.0 gr. interior lard (or chicken fat), add 50.0 gr. powdered comfrey root and simmer - in the oven for 6 hours, in the bath - 2 hours, stirring.

Cool and store the ointment in the refrigerator. Before use, extract the right amount in advance to warm at room temperature.

Apply to the submandibular, cervical, parotid lymph nodes 2-3 times a day.

Hope these simple tips help! GOOD LUCK and all the best!

Good morning. Thank you very much for your work! I really need urgent advice. A 64-year-old mother was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's mature cell b-cell lymphoma with retroperitoneal lymph node involvement and leukemization. Yesterday they said that the 4th stage will affect the bone marrow, but the form is non-aggressive.

Doctors insist on R-FC lite chemistry.

Mom has been complaining for a couple of years now about very poor immunity, recently there were sores weeping behind the ears and it became ill once, like poisoning, her stomach ached, which is why she started the examination. Here are the blood test results from 05/23/18:

blast cells - 6.8

neutrophils: promyelocytes - 0.4 myelocytes 6.4 metamyelocytes 1.2 stab 11.2 segmented 12

I also found yesterday's tests: hemoglobin 124, erythrocytes 4.19, leukocytes 18.92 color indicator 0.88 soe 47 segmented 29%, stab 1% lymphocytes 65%, monocytes 2%, platelets 202

Please give your recommendations. Is it possible to cure without chemistry? What is the best way to eat? I am a supporter of a raw food diet, but the doctors told my mother to eat meat. She didn’t really love him before, but since they said ... ... - the naturopath generally recommends excluding any protein, even vegetable, the doctors say that the blood will become worse. I really want to understand or see at least an alternative to what the doctors say. Thank you very much in advance!!!

Hello Daria!

Let's start with nutrition, because it's important. Naturopaths are of the opinion that the nutrition of cancer patients should support life, but not "feed" the tumor. The role of meat in raising hemoglobin is greatly exaggerated, and it is not so low! In any case, it is better to refuse animal proteins. But completely leave a person without protein food is impossible, so give sea fish and seafood once a week, and vegetable proteins should be limited. There is a lot of protein in eggplant, buckwheat, legumes, mushrooms, gray cereals. Let's salads, juices with pulp, natural iron in Ayurvedic preparations For example).

You can refuse chemotherapy. But then the growth of malignant cells must be suppressed by plant poisons. The degree of malignancy is not so high (if taken on a 10-point system, points 3-4).

Place 100.0 g of crushed mistletoe shoots loosely in a bowl, pour 500.0 ml of 70% alcohol, or pharmacy Gerboton.

Infuse for 3 weeks in a dark place at room temperature, shake occasionally. Drink 30 drops 4 times a day, half an hour before meals. The course is 2 months, a break of 14 days and the course is repeated. Conduct at least 3 courses per year.

2. Collection of herbs, at the same time:

Roots: Astragalus membranous -1,

Try not just to stick to it, but to fulfill it as a duty!

With increased secretion, food is not recommended to chew thoroughly - this excites secretion even more, provokes heartburn and reflux. Eat a small amount of food, no matter how hungry you are. Small, it is 150.0-200.0 ml., or grams per dose. The temperature of food in both summer and winter should not exceed 37 degrees. This is a warm food that does not irritate the mucous membranes.

Grind the food a little in advance with a blender and eat at a strictly defined time, without deviating even for a minute. Do not read while eating, and do not watch TV! Eat slowly, and with pleasure, 4-5 times a day.

Add herbs:

1. Collection of herbs

Roots: bluish blue -1; Initial letter officinalis -2, narrow-leaved fireweed-1, meadowsweet vyazolistny stress at home / at work, and 1000 more reasons.

2. Try to drink Cytoflavin, 2 tablets 2-3 times a day and after 10-14 days write about the results.

SUCCESS and all the best, Sergey!
