Video: silverweed white - useful properties and contraindications

Dear friends and readers of the blog! I am glad to welcome you! Today we will talk about an amazing plant that can bring undoubted benefit to people if there are problems with the thyroid gland. This plant is called Potentilla white. Potentilla white application in folk medicine is in many diseases!

First of all, its influence affects the state of the thyroid gland. It helps with hyperfunction and hypofunction of the thyroid gland.

Many years ago, on the background of a sore throat, I developed an inflammation of this gland, thyroiditis. The thing is unpleasant because it was accompanied by thyrotoxicosis with tachycardia, increased A / D, pain in all joints. I even got to the hospital.

I was successfully cured, but thyrotoxicosis was replaced by hypofunction and I was prescribed euthyrox. This is a hormonal drug to increase the level of thyroid hormones. And the question - how long to take it, the doctor said - all my life! Fortunately, I coped with this situation and for many years eutirox no longer drink.

How did I recover? I did not take iodine! After all, during hypofunction of the thyroid gland, additional iodine may not be absorbed, so I thought it was stupid to drink drugs or use. It is necessary to increase the activity of the gland so that hormones are produced in it alone!

What do you need to take? Restorative remedies: vitamins of group B, as well as vitamins A, E, fatty acids of class I took herbal teas, various adaptogens. In other words, these were not specific drugs or dietary supplements for the thyroid, but stimulants of metabolic processes of the whole organism.

Twice a year I controlled the level of thyroid hormones and after a few years I noticed that taking eutirox leads to an excess of hormones in the blood. As soon as I remove it - everything comes back to normal. This means that I have enough of my thyroid-stimulating hormones and no need to take additional eutirox. For many years I haven’t accepted anything for the thyroid gland. I did a gland ultrasound a year ago - everything is normal.

On the Internet, I met information about the white finger and thought, why not maintain my health. Understood in its composition and realized that she would be very useful to me. After all, if once something in the body was broken, you should always once again support the damaged organ.

The composition, the healing properties of Potentilla white. Contraindications

Potentilla has been used in folk medicine since the 18th century. Even then, doctors have noticed that it has a positive effect on the state of the thyroid gland. Later, scientists studied the composition of this plant and found a large amount of iodine, iron, zinc, copper, selenium, silicon, manganese in the roots and leaves.

But iodine is the most. Potentilla is rich in bioflavonoids, which are antioxidants and support the health of blood vessels, prevent the deposition of cholesterol in them, and fight cancer cells.

Further research has allowed saponins to be found in cinquefoil, which strengthen the heart and nervous system, the adrenal cortex. It contains amino acids, phenol carboxylic acids, starch, tannins. All this is valuable and healing components for the body.

It was found that the roots of the plant, and not the leaves, are more active and that they need to be harvested in the fall, when the entire above-ground part of the plant dies. For blanks taken 3-4 year old plants. By this time, the amount of albinine that accumulates iodine reaches a maximum level.

And although the mechanism of action of Potentilla from the point of view of official medicine is not fully understood, traditional medicine, based on practice, shows very good cure results in many pathological conditions:

• Pathology of the thyroid gland with various forms of hormonal activity: hypo- and hyperfunction, nodal and diffuse forms, autoimmune thyroiditis.

• Diseases of the heart and blood vessels in atherosclerosis and hypercholesterolemia.

• To improve the general condition of people who have had a heart attack or

• Peptic ulcer, cholecystitis and hepatitis, chronic pancreatitis, enterocolitis.

• In gynecological practice for uterine prolapse, fibroids, fibroids.

• Potentilla promotes the excretion of radionuclides from the body.

• It is used to replenish iodine in areas with iodine deficiency.

• Potentilla, being a good antibacterial and wound-healing agent, is used to treat ulcers on the skin, boils, hemorrhoids.

• It should be used to improve liver function, digestion, in the period of rehabilitation after diseases and surgeries, to normalize the general hormonal background and enhance immunity, raise general protective forces.

How does potentilla affect thyroid function?

The plant can be an excellent alternative to the hormones with which thyroid disease is being treated. Somehow she unfairly stayed away from official medicine.

Although, in fairness, I must say that dietary supplements based on Potentilla exist. These include Endonorm, Zobofit, Alba, Endocrinol. And then everyone has their own choice! Whether to drink dietary supplements, or brew the live roots of Potentilla.

The goal of treatment is for the gland to regain its ability to independently synthesize as many thyroid-stimulating hormones as the human body needs.

Especially since the silverweed has no contraindications to use. Its only minus is that it lowers arterial pressuretherefore, it is necessary for hypotensive people to drink it with caution.

White bloodroot. Use in traditional medicine. Recipes

Alcohol infusionoik:

Take dry roots (50 gr). Add to them 500 ml of vodka or alcohol. Cover tightly and store in a dark place. Shake periodically. After three put on the tincture is ready. Strain immediately and pour into a bottle with a closable stopper.

Take 25-30 drops before meals (30 minutes), at least three times daily during the month. Take a break for 10 days and repeat the course. Typically, this technique is done with the aim of preventing health. The indications are such states as breakdown, past diseases, memory loss, high level   cholesterol, diseases of the heart and blood vessels, reduced visual acuity.

By the way, remaining after straining the roots, you can not throw away, and pour alcohol again. Just after insisting take more drops of tincture - 45–60.

Infusion water:

Children and people who prefer water infusions, potentilla can be cooked differently. Chopped roots in the amount of a tablespoon, place in a thermos and add 500 ml of boiling water. Insist overnight, divide the infusion into 3 parts and take three times before meals.

Where to buy Potentilla white

This plant in pharmacies is sold infrequently. Therefore, it can be purchased in the form of dietary supplements, which I wrote about above. They are sold in ordinary pharmacies.

You can also buy in online pharmacies specializing in the sale of herbal raw materials. For myself, I ordered a white patchworker at an online pharmacy.

I began to take the root in the form of decoctions. It is very hard and in order to grind it I just put a portion between the sheets of plastic film and lightly pounded the roots with a hammer. They are fragile and easily crumbled.

Then did the infusion in a thermos. Cut it for about a month. What I feel? Nothing special! Except for one - added energy. I even took up my favorite callanetics, which I abandoned. I'm thinking of buying a subscription to the pool. The mood is vigorous, no sleepiness. In any case, a month ago I had hibernation.

Potentilla white is used in traditional medicine very often. Thyroid function support is a direct indication for its reception. Therapeutic effect   occurs due to albinin, which accumulates iodine, minerals and many biologically active components.

P.S.   Dear friends! The purpose of my article is to remind you that there is such an amazing plant that each of us can easily use. Told you about its properties, purpose and possibility of acquisition.

If you consider it necessary for yourself to conduct a course of silver-white as a prophylactic for maintaining health, as they say, God help you!

But if you have serious thyroid problems - no amateur! Contact your endocrinologist and follow his appointment. Just ask his advice - is it worth it to take white potentilla! Will it interfere with the treatment prescribed by the doctor?
