The lightning effect of antibiotics is beyond doubt. They very quickly deal with pathogenic bacteria, destroying along with them microbes that are useful to our body. After them, it takes a long time to restore the normal microflora in the intestine and raise the level of immunity. So why instead of such a crude means not to use herbs? Indeed, many of them are no less effective, and most importantly, they have passed the centuries-old security check. Among them is the Kalgan root.
In a dense herbage, this grass is small you can’t immediately see. It is a perennial plant of the genus Cinquefoil with thin stems, sweet yellow flowers and a powerful rhizome. Kalgan root has a powerful healing power, directly opposite to the unpresentable size of the plant itself. Since ancient times, it was used by the people. Its extraordinary popularity among our ancestors can be judged by the number of names donated to this unpretentious plant. This is Dubrovka, the mighty, the whisper, the umbilical cord, the fart, the Uzik, the kurzeli, the bone-breaker, the woodcock, the braid and the rooted root.
Kalgan is very effective for debilitating diarrhea. In those days when there were no antibiotics, it was successfully used to treat dysentery. His decoctions and infusions were used to eliminate inflammation, internal bleeding and the rapid healing of stomach ulcers. Ointments and decoctions made on the basis of this plant help with severe burns, cracks in the skin of the legs and hands, eczema, frostbite and wounds.
Kalgan root has a wound healing, analgesic, hemostatic, bactericidal, anti-inflammatory, expectorant, choleretic and astringent effect. Due to such a wide range of useful properties, it is also part of a fairly large number of modern pharmacological preparations. Experts recommend galangal root in bronchial asthma, intestinal and renal colic, diarrhea, uterine and gastric bleeding. With bleeding gums, inflammation of the nasopharynx and sore throat, rinse with a decoction. As an excellent anthelmintic, for diseases of the liver, kidneys, cough, emphysema, pulmonary tuberculosis, inflammation of the intestines, toothache, gynecological diseases and painful menstruation, Kalang root is successfully used.
Treatment can be carried out at home, making a decoction of your own. It is brought to readiness using a steam bath, calculating the required amount. On a spoon of dry root you need no more than a glass of clean water. If the application is external, double its volume. To make the ointment, dry roots should be crushed into powder and mixed with any fat base. The resulting mixture is put in an oven (oven) for eight hours. The obtained ointment is successfully used to eliminate dry lips, irritations, burns and cracks in the skin. Wet ulcers are sprinkled with dry powder, without adding anything, but simply rubbing the root.
Kalgan has a powerful anthelmintic effect, but it uses another part of it, the ground. It is also combined with crushed root in a proportion of one to five and is used to get rid of the effects of infectious hepatitis and cure cirrhosis. Drink it should be at least two months, be sure two hours before a meal in the amount of half a glass. At the same time, the presence of salt in the diet is reduced.
An excellent remedy for cholecystitis and gastritis, coupled with calendula, yarrow and mint is galangal root. Treatment with concentrated broth is carried out for three weeks. Take one tablespoon before meals.
Note that in the southern regions this plant is called the male root, and its alcohol tincture is used as an excellent prophylactic against prostatitis and impotence. Tincture is prohibited for use by alcoholics, children and pregnant women.
