Immortelle as medicinal herb- a favorite and quite popular plant. Evidence of this is its different name, which is given to it by people from different territorial zones where it grows. It is called differently, but the most sonorous names are golden grass, frost-grass, sandy cudweed or tsmin.

Plant characteristics

IN botanical world sonorous characteristics have been determined for the plant. Scientists describe it as a perennial herbaceous tomentose-woolly plant. But, above all, immortelle is visible among other wild flowering herbs thanks to its small flowers, collected in a single panicle, only up to 6 mm. The flowers resemble a spherical basket. Usually it is multi-rowed, orange or pale lemon with a yellow tint. Mine bright color The plant does not lose its color during flowering, which is why it was called immortelle.

When flowering begins in June, the inflorescences feel quite dense and then soften. An interesting property of this plant: the outer flowers are always female, they have a thread-like shape. Those in the middle are considered bisexual and have tufts. And the fruit turns out to have a tuft, but it is small and Brown, it ripens in August. But it happens that if the weather is favorable, then the second flowering of the immortelle begins, then the baskets can be found in the axils of the upper leaves. The flowering period of each basket is on average 15 days.

The immortelle rhizome is short and brown, the stem is straight, approximately 35 cm long. We can say about the leaves that they are alternate, oblong, and narrowed into petioles.

Collection and preparation of plants

Immortelle is most comfortable on dry and sandy soils, in steppe zones and sparse pine forests. First of all, inflorescences are used for medicinal purposes. You need to have time to pick them before the side baskets are opened, otherwise there will be no effective effect later. therapeutic effect. Is there some more important conditions when preparing:

• This plant should be collected only in dry weather, not very early, so that there is no dew;
• cut using scissors or a sharp knife;
• in one place, collection can be carried out no more than 4 times, while the plant blooms in turn;
• repeated collection is carried out no less than 5 days later;
• If you pull out a plant completely, it is very easy to deplete its reserves.

The next preparations can be made in this place only after a few years, and in order for large settlements of immortelle to appear again, it is necessary to preserve at least 10 plants, but always with inflorescences.

You cannot store collected flowers for more than four hours, especially if the inflorescences are 1 cm long. They deteriorate very quickly and therefore require quick processing. Will need to be decomposed harvested onto fabric or clean paper in one layer. You need to find a place away from sunlight.

The plant retains its healing properties for three years.

Yellow treasure trove of nutrients

It is the inflorescences that are important to people, and the herbalists themselves also harvest the grass. But it is the inflorescences that contain the most useful active substances, namely:

• flavonoid glycosides;
• organic acids;
• essential oil;
• various microelements;
• mucus, resin and wax;

In this case, they are taken by patients who have been diagnosed with “chronic calculous cholecystitis” and sand or small stones up to 2 mm have been found.

By helping to increase bile secretion, bile cannot stagnate, its viscosity and density decreases. Her is changing chemical composition V better side, the content of gowns increases. Their presence is required in order to keep cholesterol, which cannot dissolve in water, in a dissolved state, in the form of a colloid. Essentially, dressing gowns are bile salts.

Upon examination, it turns out that thanks to immortelle, the level of “bad” cholesterol is significantly reduced and the level of bilirubin is restored to normal. If the amount of cholesterol is too high, it will precipitate and cause stones.

The stem is often single, straight, simple, with white-tomentose pubescence, up to 35 cm high. The leaves are alternate, sessile, linear-lanceolate, basal and lower stem - oblong-obovate, narrowed into petioles.
The flowers are small, heterogeneous in spherical baskets, collected in apical corymbose panicles, up to 6 mm in diameter. At the beginning of flowering, the inflorescence is dense, then loose. The basket wrapper is multi-rowed from lemon-yellow or orange shiny dry membranous leaves. The hard scales of the inflorescence wrapper do not lose their color and do not fade. Perhaps this is where the name of the plant comes from - immortelle.
The outermost female flowers are tubular-thread-like. The middle flowers are bisexual, tubular, yellow or orange with a tuft. The fruit is a small brown, brown oblong achene with a tuft. The weight of 1000 seeds is about 0.06 g. It blooms in June - August. The ripening of immortelle fruits begins in August.
Sometimes secondary flowering is observed in August - September. In this case, baskets are formed in the axils of the upper leaves. Each basket blooms for about 10-15 days. The central baskets of the inflorescence bloom first.
The plant reproduces by seeds and vegetatively by shoots from rhizomes. Distributed in the steppe regions of the European part of the CIS, Central Asia, Southern Siberia, and Ciscaucasia. Sandy immortelle grows mainly on dry sandy, less often sandy, soils. Found in light coniferous forests, clearings, and clearings. Does not grow in shaded areas.

Collection and preparation of raw materials. For medicinal purposes, the inflorescences (flower baskets) of sandy immortelle are used. They are harvested at the beginning of flowering, while the side baskets have not yet opened.
More late dates unacceptable. Collected inflorescences with peduncles up to 1 cm long cannot be stored in containers for more than 4 hours, otherwise the raw materials will deteriorate.
The inflorescences are collected in dry weather, after the dew has disappeared. In the same area, collecting inflorescences can be carried out 3-4 times, as the plants bloom. The inflorescences are collected again after 5-7 days.
Repeated harvesting of immortelle in the same place can be carried out after 1-2 years. To renew the thickets, it is necessary to leave at least 10 plants with inflorescences. The collected inflorescences are laid out thin layer onto fabric or paper in a shaded place. The shelf life of raw materials is 3 years.
Composition of the plant. The inflorescences contain flavonoids, glycosides, ascorbic acid, essential oil, resinous and bitter substances, vitamin K, coumarin scopoletin, dyes, microelements (iron, aluminum, copper, manganese, chromium).

Medicinal properties, application, treatment.
Sandy immortelle has choleretic, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, diuretic, hemostatic, and weak sedative properties.
Immortelle preparations help improve bile secretion, increase the content of bilirubin and cholates in bile, reduce the concentration of bile acids, and have an antispasmodic effect on the smooth muscles of the intestine, gallbladder, bile ducts, as well as on blood vessels. This is due to the presence of flavonoid compounds in the plant.
Immortelle sandy preparations increase the cholate-cholesterol coefficient and tone of the gallbladder, activate the secretory ability of the pancreas, stimulate the secretion of gastric juice, increase diuresis, and have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects.
Since immortelle preparations enhance the secretion of bile and have a pronounced antispasmodic effect, they are used to wash out sand and small stones (up to 2 mm in diameter) in chronic calculous cholecystitis. By enhancing bile secretion, immortelle preparations prevent bile stagnation, help improve the metabolic function of the liver, reduce the viscosity of bile, its relative density, and reduce the concentration of cholesterol and bilirubin in it.
Immortelle preparations are used to treat cholecystitis, cholecystoangiocholitis, hepatitis, and cholelithiasis. They increase the secretion of bile and change its chemical composition, increasing the content of cholates, reducing the level of bilirubin and cholesterol in the blood.
