The Russian land is rich in valuable medicinal plants. Among them, a special place is occupied by marsh cudweed, which is sometimes called swamp (Gnaphalium uliginosum) from the Compositae family. What is this inconspicuous herb famous for and what diseases will it help cure? We will talk about this in this article.
The herbaceous annual plant has a low (up to 30 cm) stem, prostrate-branched from the base and covered with a silvery-white "felt". The root is short, taproot, rather thin. Leaves are small, alternate. At the base they are narrowed, densely pubescent.
Flowers of light yellow color are collected in small baskets, arranged in bunches or dense heads at the ends of the branches. They are surrounded by radially divergent upper leaves. The fruit is an oblong, light brown or greenish-gray achene with a tuft. 
Marsh cudweed, the properties of which (healing) have long been noticed by folk healers, blooms from mid-June to August. The fruits ripen in October. The plant reproduces exclusively by seeds. Up to five hundred seeds can be collected from one bush, which will remain viable for five years.
Spreading
Swamp cudweed grass is found in the temperate and cold regions of Eurasia, from Great Britain, Portugal, Iceland in the west to Japan and Korea in the east. Distributed on the territory of the former republics of the Soviet Union, in Eastern and Western Siberia, in the Far East, in the Caucasus. 
Prefers fallow and water meadows, swampy banks of rivers and lakes, floodplain forests. It is found in gardens with waterlogged soil and potato fields.
Swamp cudweed contains many useful substances. Among them:
- carotene (up to 55%),
- flavonoids,
- tannins (4%),
- resins (up to 16%),
- essential oils (0.05%),
- phytosterols,
- traces of alkaloids (gnafalin),
- vitamins B1 and K,
- ascorbic acid,
- thiamine.
Medicinal properties
Dried cudweed preparations have astringent and anti-inflammatory, antiseptic properties. They are able to accelerate the processes of regeneration, epithelialization and repair of ulcerative and wound surfaces of the skin and mucous membranes. The research revealed hypotensive and vasodilating properties of the plant. The hypotensive effect is associated with flavonoids. 
Preparations based on cudweed somewhat slow down the rhythm of heart contractions and have a sedative effect. The therapeutic effect of the plant is due to the influence of vitamins (provitamin A - carotene, which increases the immunobiological properties in pathological processes) and other substances that make up its composition (flavonoids, resins, tannins).

Infusion (baths) gives good results with excessive sweating of the palms and legs. We suggest you get acquainted with some methods of preparing medicines.
Pour ten grams of cudweed in an enamel bowl with a glass of boiled hot water. Close the saucepan with a lid and put in a water bath for a quarter of an hour. Then cool the composition to room temperature, strain, squeeze out the raw materials. Bring the resulting volume of liquid to the original boiled water.
The infusion is stored in a dark cool place for no more than two days. Take half a cup twice a day as an antihypertensive and anti-inflammatory agent.
Twenty grams of dry grass, pour 300 ml of boiling water and put on low heat for five minutes, let it brew for about two hours. After that, the composition can be filtered and taken in the same way as an infusion.
Oil extract
You will need six grams of raw materials (a heaping tablespoon). It is poured with 200 ml of any vegetable oil (preferably olive oil), infused for ten days, shaking daily, then filtered. 
Collection and preparation
Harvesting of raw materials is carried out during the flowering period of the plant. When harvesting, it is necessary to leave 2-3 plants for seeding per square meter of thickets. Plants are dug up with a root, shake off the ground from it and, without cutting off the root, dry it in the shade, in the open air, turning over several times a day.
In bad weather, raw materials can be dried under a canopy, in special drying chambers (temperature +40 °C), in attics. The plant retains its medicinal properties in a dry form for three years.

How to collect raw cottonwort?
The aerial part of the herbaceous bush has medicinal properties. It is necessary to harvest vegetable raw materials in the summer, at a time when the marsh cudweed is at its maximum vegetation. You can determine this moment by the first opened inflorescences.
It is necessary to complete the preparation of medicinal raw materials by the end of summer, until the seeds ripen. Ripe, they are not used for medicinal purposes. The day for harvesting is chosen dry and warm. The best time is the end of the morning, when the dew has already evaporated and the heat has not yet begun.
The bush is completely cut with a knife at a height of 2-3 cm from the ground. If the grass is contaminated with earth, it must be washed with cold water. Dry the raw materials, spreading them out in an even layer on fabrics in the shade.

There are some types of plants similar to cudweed, but they are not allowed for medicinal purposes.
These include forest cudweed (G. sylvaticum L.), which has non-branching, higher stems from 30-40 to 60 cm. Its leaves are almost bare, and flower baskets are collected in the upper part of the stem in narrow spike-shaped inflorescences. There is also a field toad (Fllago arvensis L.), which has branching stems not from the base, like that of marsh cudweed, but from the middle.
His flowers are collected in small balls of 2-7 in the axils of the upper leaves and at the ends of the branches. Toad grows in dry sandy places: steppes, pine forests and dry glades. It is very important to be able to distinguish useful grass from harmful. Remember that the "twins" of cudweed marsh prefer mostly dry soils, and not swampy, like cudweed marsh. To learn how to use the plant for diabetes, follow this link.
What it looks like and where it grows
Externally, marsh cudweed (Gnaphalium uliginosum) is a low herbaceous annual from the genus Compositae. It is easy to recognize the grass by the grayish felt pubescence that densely covers low stems. The maximum height of the bushy cudweed reaches no more than 30 centimeters, and in stony unfavorable areas it can only stretch up to 5 centimeters. At the base, from a dense thick stem, which sometimes becomes woody in the basal part, many lateral branches depart.
Toad or slotted grass grows in damp swampy areas located closer to water bodies. Moreover, it is known on all continents of the globe. But most of the representatives of this genus are concentrated in South and Central America.
Procurement of medicinal raw materials
All aerial parts of the annual are equally suitable for treatment. Their preparation is recommended to be carried out in the summer, when the plant is at the peak of vegetation. It is important to wait until open inflorescences appear on it.
It is also permissible to use unripe seeds in herbal medicine, so it is advisable to complete the collection of grass before the end of summer.
First you need to completely cut the bush with a knife. After that, the raw materials are laid out on a fabric bedding or a sheet of cardboard somewhere in the shade.
The most suitable option for natural drying of medicinal herbs is a well-ventilated attic, where there is no direct sunlight, dust and flies. If the weather does not allow harvesting grass in this way, you can use an electric dryer. In this case, the raw materials must be laid out on pallets and the temperature control must be set to 50 ° C.
Dried grass should be crushed immediately. Then it is poured into a cardboard container and stored for no more than 3 years. Make sure that there is no ultraviolet radiation in the place where the workpiece lies, since its effect adversely affects the constituent components of the potion.

Externally, marsh cudweed (Gnaphalium uliginosum) is a low herbaceous annual from the genus Compositae. It is easy to recognize the grass by the grayish felt pubescence that densely covers low stems.
Did you know? The most ancient information about the use of herbs as remedies was found by archaeologists during excavations on the territory of the modern Iraqi city of Sumer. Scientists believe that it was in that area that phytotherapy began to emerge.
A characteristic feature of the grass is the next, whole-edge foliage, which reaches a length of 5 centimeters, and small tufted flowers of light yellow color. Complex spike-shaped inflorescences appear on the swamp in early June and run amok all summer.
Herbaceous annuals also include
savory
rudbeckia
borago
dimorfoteka
hibiscus
Adonis
Snapdragon
clarke
cornflower
dicenter
After flowering on thick peduncles, small smoky-green oblong achenes ripen. As they develop, they begin to become covered with transparent papillae and stiff hairs. Bare grains are extremely rare.
They reach full ripeness at the end of September, when a crest falls off the top of the seed box. Spread by birds and self-seeding. From one bush you can collect about five hundred seeds. And they remain viable for up to 5 years.
Toad or slotted grass grows in damp swampy areas located closer to water bodies. Moreover, it is known on all continents of the globe. But most of the representatives of this genus are concentrated in South and Central America.
Important! Experts warn of the potential dangers of herbal treatment and possible side effects. Along with synthetic medicines, popularly called "chemistry", herbal medicines contain many biochemical substances, the impact of which on the human body is unpredictable. Moreover, the composition of plants is constantly changing depending on the characteristics of the soil, groundwater and external sources of pollution.
In Ukraine, mass harvesting of toad grass raw materials is carried out in Rivne, Volyn, Kharkiv, Khmelnytsky, Ternopil, Sumy, Zhytomyr, Kyiv and Cherkasy regions. There are also significant reserves in the Carpathians and Transcarpathia.
This plant, perhaps, is well known to many and everyone knows that licorice root is a miraculous natural remedy in the treatment of cough. After all, since childhood, we remember that sweet taste of licorice syrup, which our mothers treated us with. Liquorice, licorice and licorice - another name can be heard from doctors, or found in traditional medicine recipes.
Favorite places for licorice growth are steppes and semi-deserts, where there are river floodplains and valleys. As a weed, it can often be found on ordinary crops. In Western Siberia, another variety of licorice is found - Ural licorice. In terms of medicinal properties, it is not much different from the familiar licorice, the difference is that it does not have such a rich sweet taste.
The plant is quite tall and can reach almost a meter in height (from 50 to 80 cm), strewn with bright purple flowers, which are collected in peculiar brushes growing from deciduous sinuses. Flowering begins in May and ends at the end of July. The medicinal root has an upright shape and a powerful structure.
He goes deep into the ground to get water. Therefore, this plant is more common in dry places. Long horizontal shoots depart from the main stem. They quickly and over long distances grow to the sides, capturing more and more new areas, so the plant can be safely called a malicious weed.
What this plant looks like look at the photo.
Licorice has been known since ancient times. If you believe the Ancient Chinese "Treatise on Herbs", then even in ancient times it was revered and put on a par with ginseng. According to Tibetan medicine, licorice was associated with longevity and great vitality. Licorice came to Ancient Egypt from Assyria and Sumer, where it was widely used by local doctors in their practice. Avicenna recommended licorice roots for the treatment of severe diseases of the lungs, kidneys, digestive tract, and fever.
- An expectorant effect is best provided by an infusion of licorice root. To do this, take 1 tbsp. l. dry raw materials (you can buy at any pharmacy or prepare yourself), brew as tea with a glass of boiling water and put in a water bath. Sweat it over low heat for about 20 minutes. Let the resulting product cool for 40-45 minutes, then strain into a small container. Dilute the resulting broth with boiled water so that 200 ml of liquid is obtained. Such an infusion is taken 3-4 times a day (at one time you can drink no more than a tablespoon).
- To relieve bronchitis, prepare a decoction based on licorice. Grind 30 g of dried roots and fill with water (about 5 liters will be enough), put on fire. As it boils, it is necessary to boil for another 10 minutes on a quiet fire. Then remove from heat and leave to infuse for another two hours. Strain, squeeze out the remaining bark. Drink half a glass 4 times a day.
Infusion or decoction copes well not only with bronchitis and acute respiratory infections. It can also be used to cleanse the lungs and bronchi in heavy smokers, with tuberculosis, as well as with advanced pneumonia. Licorice will not only help the productive discharge of sputum, but also increase the body's defenses.
With a dry unproductive cough, the following collection will help:
- Chopped licorice root -30.0
- Marshmallow root -10.0
- Anise fruits -2.0
- Self-seeded poppy color -2.0
Mix all components, pour 1 liter of boiling water. Infuse for about an hour, take 100 ml 5-6 times a day.
Thanks to the active ingredient - glycyrrhizin, licorice helps to increase pressure.
Glycyrrhizin is a sweet-tasting chemical similar in structure to steroid hormones. It can increase aldosterone levels in the human body. Aldosterone is a hormone that retains sodium and water in the body and promotes the excretion of potassium from it. An increase in the amount of sodium and water in the body leads to an increase in blood pressure.
To increase the pressure, use tea. To do this, brew a teaspoon of licorice roots with 250 ml of boiling water, cover with a saucer on top and leave to infuse for 5-10 minutes. Strain and drink.
If you have serious diseases of the heart or blood vessels, you should consult your doctor before use.
In pregnant women, all the body's defenses are reduced, as a rule, a woman becomes infected with various infections faster, especially during a period of increased incidence of respiratory infections. During such a period, it is better for a woman to avoid taking various medications, and to be treated with the help of folk methods and medicinal herbs.
In our case, on the contrary, the use of licorice is contraindicated, since taking this remedy can lead to swelling and increased pressure.
Pediatricians quite often prescribe this remedy during the treatment of dry or wet cough. This helps to better sputum discharge, while at the same time increasing the immunity of the child. In the pathology of the stomach, licorice will relieve inflammation and pain, will contribute to the rapid recovery of the gastric mucosa.
It is important to know that the course of treatment should not exceed more than 10 days. If necessary, only a doctor can tell you whether to continue the course of treatment.
Dosage for Licorice Syrup:
- Infants - dilute 2 drops in a teaspoon of warm water;
- Children under 2 years old - half a teaspoon (you can dilute a little with water) 3-4 times a day;
- Children from 2 to 12 years old - a teaspoon 3-4 times a day;
- From 12 years old and teenagers - a dessert spoon 4-6 times a day.

1 st. l. crushed roots pour half a liter of water, bring to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes. Then the resulting broth should be cooled and filtered.

To maintain the beauty and health of the skin of the face and body, you should use an infusion instead of a lotion. The thick extract can also be added to creams or lotions.
Licorice extract is a great helper for skin problems. It treats dermatitis, heals small wounds and reduces scars. This is due to the content of glycyrrhizic acid in licorice, which activates the production of interferon, which has antiviral activity. Licorice preparations can be used to treat herpes.
When applied externally, licorice extract stimulates the production of collagen, thereby having a rejuvenating effect on the skin, cleans, softens, soothes, and discolors age spots.
But even with external use, one should not forget that there are contraindications to licorice.
Of course, the extract can be bought ready-made in a pharmacy, but it is not at all difficult to prepare it yourself.
To do this, in an enamel saucepan 2-3 tbsp. l. chopped roots, brew a glass of boiling water, place the container in a water bath and boil for half an hour with constant stirring. Then leave at room temperature for 10 minutes to cool. Strain the liquid, and squeeze the remaining raw materials into a decoction and pour into a dry glass container, pack tightly. The thick extract can be stored at room temperature for up to 5 years.
In order to prepare the syrup, you will first have to purchase an extract of licorice roots. It can be either a powder or a thick liquid with a cloying odor and increased sweetness (glycyrrhizin is 50 times sweeter than sugar). But you can also cook it at home on your own.

About the author: admin4ikThe marsh cudweed herb is used in folk medicine and is recognized as a medicinal traditional remedy. Popular names of the plant: toad grass, worm grass, cut grass and gourd. The beneficial properties of cudweed are associated with its constituent substances.
An annual herbaceous shrub from the Aster family of the genus Sushenitsa. Reproduction occurs by seeds that germinate well after winter.
The stem of the plant is open-branched, growing from 10 to 30 cm in height. Branching begins already from the lower sections. On the stem and leaves there is a dense white tomentose pubescence, giving the cudweed a silvery hue.
Leaves are arranged alternately. Their shape is linear-lanceolate. They are small, obtuse at the end and tapering into a petiole.
The flowers are small, tubular in shape, have a yellow color of varying intensity. They are collected in inflorescences of egg-shaped baskets located at the tops of the stems. Flowering lasts from June to August.
The fruits are seeds. They are not large greenish-gray in color. Ripen in July-August.
How to collect raw cottonwort?
The aerial part of the herbaceous bush has medicinal properties. It is necessary to harvest vegetable raw materials in the summer, at a time when the marsh cudweed is at its maximum vegetation. You can determine this moment by the first opened inflorescences.
It is necessary to complete the preparation of medicinal raw materials by the end of summer, until the seeds ripen. Ripe, they are not used for medicinal purposes. The day for harvesting is chosen dry and warm. The best time is the end of the morning, when the dew has already evaporated and the heat has not yet begun.
The bush is completely cut with a knife at a height of 2-3 cm from the ground. If the grass is contaminated with earth, it must be washed with cold water. Dry the raw materials, spreading them out in an even layer on fabrics in the shade.
It is necessary to store the collected cottonweed in a linen bag or a tightly closed glass jar in a dark and dry place. Putting in storage, dry grass is pre-pounded. The marsh cudweed will not lose its medicinal properties for 3 years.
A modest herb with great healing potential is the marsh cudweed. As the name of this medicinal plant implies, it settles in damp places. The unpretentious cudweed is so widespread that many perceive it as an ordinary weed. In fact, a discreet herb can provide tremendous health benefits.
Toad grass - cudweed
In appearance, it is difficult to even assume that the cudweed is related to the proud beauty of the aster.
Sushenica belongs to the Asteraceae family.
Even in ancient times, people appreciated the enormous health benefits that this nondescript plant can bring. Many prominent healers mentioned cudweed in their treatises and widely used it in medical practice.
A cudweed bush in the grass looks inconspicuous, but do not pass by - this plant is very useful Although cudweed received official recognition from modern medicine only relatively recently, traditional healers have long been effectively using this inconspicuous plant - both independently and in various collections.
plant species
The genus of cudweed is relatively small - it unites about one and a half dozen species, most of which have an overseas "registration" in South and Central America. And the rest of the species of the genus Gnaphálium are settled on all continents, except, perhaps, Antarctica.
Interestingly, the genus contains both annuals, biennials, and perennials. Here is a medicinal swamp cudweed - an annual plant.
Swamp, or swamp, cudweed - the only medicinal species of its kind The only medicinal species of this plant genus - swamp cudweed (aka swamp) - lives throughout Eurasia, from Japan to Western Europe. Grass is unpretentious and grows well where there is enough moisture for it: in swamps, floodplain meadows, along the bottoms of damp beams.
It is in search of moist land in recent years that the cudweed is increasingly moving closer to humans - to irrigated gardens, vineyards and orchards. Summer residents mercilessly exterminate it, mistaking it for a weed, but in vain - a plant can bring considerable benefits to a person.
Sushenitsa settles wherever there is a lot of moisture. Composition and benefits
Despite the high effectiveness of cudweed, confirmed by practice, its chemical composition has not been studied enough so far. It contains the following valuable biologically active compounds:
The cudweed contains unique components - gnafalosides and gnafalin The most effective active ingredients of cudweed are its "branded" components, named after the Latin name of the plant Gnaphalium: gnafalosides and gnafalin - unique flavonoids and alkaloids.
The well-aimed folk names of cudweed are extremely ugly. But, as it turns out, they characterize not the appearance and not the properties of the plant - the nicknames were given to the grass in honor of the ailments against which it fights.
Sushenka is beautiful in its own way For example, the names "toad" or "toad grass" indicate that cudweed copes well with sore throats and other colds, which in the old days were called angina pectoris; the name "gorlyanka" also speaks of the same purpose. The names "cut" and "cut grass" reflect the wound-healing qualities of cudweed.
All parts of the plant have beneficial properties Among the main healing abilities of this plant are the following:

Procurement of raw materials
For medicinal purposes, cudweed bushes are harvested as a whole, pulling them out by the roots or cutting them off at the very ground. Collect the plant throughout the summer, while it blooms. But it is most useful at the beginning of flowering, in June, until a large resource of healing compounds is used up.
Sushenitsa is harvested during the flowering period Collect medicinal annuals should be in ecologically clean areas, away from highways and industrial enterprises. It is necessary to go to the preparation of medicinal raw materials on a dry, sunny and calm day, closer to noon - so that the morning dew has time to dry completely.
To speed up the drying process, the plant can be pre-cut into pieces two to three centimeters long. The prepared raw materials are dried naturally - so that moisture and sunlight do not get on it. You can do this in an electric dryer at the lowest temperature.
Dried herbs are hygroscopic and should be stored in sealed containers. Consider the hygroscopicity of such medicinal preparations and store the dried herb in securely sealed glass jars for no longer than three years.

Sushenitsa can well complement the prescription of the attending physician Application in childhood
The opinions of pediatricians on the advisability of the internal use of cudweed preparations in children differ.
