How to collect raw materials of marsh dried grass?
The above-ground part of the herbaceous bush has medicinal properties. It is necessary to harvest plant raw materials in the summer, at a time when marsh cudweed is at its maximum growing season. You can determine this moment by the first opened inflorescences.
The preparation of medicinal raw materials must be completed by the end of summer, before the seeds ripen. When ripe, they are not used for medicinal purposes. The day for harvesting is chosen to be dry and warm. Best time- this is the end of the morning, when the dew has already evaporated and the heat has not yet begun.
The bush is completely cut off with a knife at a height of 2-3 cm from the ground. If the grass is contaminated with soil, it needs to be washed cold water. Dry the raw materials, spreading them out in an even layer on a cloth in the shade.

Its leaves are almost bare, and flower baskets are collected in the upper part of the stem in narrow spicate inflorescences. There is also field toadgrass (Fllago arvensis L.), which has branching stems not from the base, like the marsh grass, but from the middle.
Its flowers are collected in small balls of 2-7 in the axils upper leaves and at the ends of branches. Toadgrass grows in dry sandy places: steppes, pine forests and dry meadows. It is very important to be able to distinguish beneficial herbs from harmful ones. Remember that the “doubles” of the marsh grass prefer mostly dry soils, and not swampy ones like the marsh grass.

What it looks like and where it grows
Externally, marsh cudweed (Gnaphalium uliginosum) is a low herbaceous annual from the genus Asteraceae. The grass is easy to recognize by the grayish felt pubescence that thickly covers the low stems. The maximum height of the bushy cucumber reaches no more than 30 centimeters, and in rocky, unfavorable areas it can only stretch up to 5 centimeters. At the base, from a dense thick stem, which sometimes becomes woody in the root part, many lateral branches arise.
Toadgrass or weed grass grows in damp, swampy areas located closer to water bodies. Moreover, they know it 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 above-ground parts of the annual plant are equally suitable for treatment. It is recommended to harvest them in the summer, when the plant is at the peak of its growing season. It is important to wait until open inflorescences appear on it.

First you need to completely cut off the bush with a knife. After this, the raw materials are laid out on a fabric mat or a sheet of cardboard somewhere in the shade.
The most suitable option for natural drying medicinal herbs is a well-ventilated attic, where there is no direct sunlight, no dust and flies. If the weather does not allow you to prepare the grass in this way, you can use an electric dryer. In this case, the raw materials need to be laid out on pallets and the temperature regulator set to 50°C.
Dry grass should be chopped immediately. Then it is poured into cardboard containers 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 has a detrimental effect on the constituent components of the potion.

Important! Experts warn about the potential dangers of herbal treatment and possible side effects. Along with synthetic drugs, popularly called “chemistry,” herbal medicines contain many biochemical substances, the effects of which on the human body are 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 procurement of toad grass raw materials is carried out in Rivne, Volyn, Kharkov, Khmelnitsky, Ternopil, Sumy, Zhytomyr, Kyiv and Cherkasy regions. There are also significant reserves in the Carpathians and Transcarpathia.

About the author: admin4ikThe herb cudweed is used in folk medicine and is recognized as medicinal by representatives of traditional medicine. Common names for the plant: toad grass, worm grass, cut grass and gourd grass. The beneficial properties of dried cucumber are associated with the substances included in its composition.
An annual herbaceous bush from the Asteraceae family of the genus Susenitsa. Reproduction occurs by seeds, which germinate well after winter.
The stem of the plant is spread-branched, growing from 10 to 30 cm in height. Branching begins from the lower sections. On the stem and leaves there is a dense white-tomentose pubescence, which gives the cudweed a silvery tint.
The leaves are arranged alternately. Their shape is linear-lanceolate. They are small, blunt at the end and tapering into a petiole.
The flowers are small, tubular in shape, and have a yellow color of varying intensities. They are collected in inflorescences of egg-shaped baskets located on the tops of the stems. Flowering lasts from June to August.
The fruits are achenes. They are not large and greenish-gray in color. Ripen in July-August.
How to collect raw materials of marsh dried grass?
The above-ground part of the herbaceous bush has medicinal properties. It is necessary to harvest plant raw materials in the summer, at a time when marsh cudweed is at its maximum growing season. You can determine this moment by the first opened inflorescences.
The preparation of medicinal raw materials must be completed by the end of summer, before the seeds ripen. When ripe, they are not used for medicinal purposes. The day for harvesting is chosen to be 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 off with a knife at a height of 2-3 cm from the ground. If the grass is contaminated with soil, it needs to be washed with cold water. Dry the raw materials, spreading them out in an even layer on a cloth in the shade.
The collected cudweed should be stored in a linen bag or glass jar, tightly closed, in a dark and dry place. When storing dry grass, it is first crushed. Marsh cud will not lose its medicinal properties for 3 years.
A humble herb with enormous healing potential is bog grass. As the name of this medicinal plant suggests, it settles in damp places. The unpretentious cudweed is so widespread that many perceive it as an ordinary weed. In fact, the discreet herb can provide enormous health benefits.
Toad grass - dried grass
Judging by its appearance, it is difficult to even imagine that the cucumber is related to the proud, beautiful aster.
Sushenitsa belongs to the aster family
Even in ancient times, people appreciated the enormous health benefits that this inconspicuous plant can bring. Many outstanding healers mentioned cudweed in their treatises and widely used it in medical practice.
The cudweed bush in the grass looks inconspicuous, but don’t pass by - this plant is very useful Although ciderweed received official recognition from modern medicine only relatively recently, traditional healers have long been effectively using this inconspicuous plant - both independently and in various preparations.
Plant species
The genus of cudweed is relatively small - it unites about one and a half dozen species, most of which are overseas “registered” in South and Central America. And the remaining species of the genus Gnaphálium are distributed over all continents, except, perhaps, Antarctica.
It is interesting that the genus contains both annuals, biennials, and perennials. Here is the medicinal marsh cudweed - an annual plant.
Swamp, or swamp, dryweed is the only medicinal type in his family The only medicinal species of this plant genus - marsh cudweed (also known as marsh grass) - lives throughout Eurasia, from Japan to Western Europe.

It is in search of moist soil that in recent years the cudweed has increasingly moved closer to people - to irrigated vegetable gardens, vineyards and orchards. Summer residents mercilessly exterminate it, mistaking it for a weed, but in vain - the plant can bring considerable benefits to humans.
Dry grass settles wherever there is a lot of moisture Composition and benefits
Despite the practice-confirmed high efficiency of cucumber, its chemical composition has still been little studied. It contains the following valuable biologically active compounds:
Cushion contains unique components - gnafalosides and gnafalin. Most effective active ingredients cudweed are its “signature” components, named after the Latin name of the plant Gnaphálium: gnaphalosides and gnaphalin - unique flavonoids and alkaloid.
The apt folk names for cucumber are extremely ugly. But, as it turns out, they do not characterize the appearance or properties of the plant - nicknames were given to the grass in honor of the ailments it fights against.
Sushenitsa is beautiful in its own way For example, the names “toad grass” or “toad grass” indicate that cudweed copes well with sore throat and other colds, which in the old days were called angina pectoris; The name “gorlyanka” speaks about the same purpose. The names “cut grass” and “cut grass” reflect the wound-healing qualities of dried grass.
