African geranium as an extremely charming flower is well known to all lovers of gardening. For many years it has been decorating Polish houses and balconies. Still, few people are aware of the fact that, in addition to its beautiful appearance, it also has healing properties, and preparations containing the plant in its composition are recognized all over the world.
In the fight against tuberculosis – the history of the plant
The value of the African geranium was discovered at the end of the XNUMXth century by Charles Henry Stevens. Soon it was used as a remedy for tuberculosis, which at that time was taking a deadly toll in Europe. For the inhabitants of the southern part of Africa – the place where the plant comes from – its healing properties were well known. Geranium root extract has been used in folk medicine since the dawn of time, especially if respiratory and digestive diseases were a problem.
Its popularity declined with the invention of antibiotics and synthetic drugs to combat tuberculosis. Many scientists and several dozen clinics, including in Germany and Switzerland, were still interested in the healing properties of the plant. In the 70s, the first bioactive substances were discovered in the roots and rhizomes of geraniums. Currently, their number is estimated at 65.
This discovery led to the creation of an extract from the plant, which was extremely effective in fighting virtually all upper respiratory tract infections. Its popularity grew rapidly, especially after 2005, when it was recognized as an all-natural plant medicine. At that time, the cultivation of African geraniums on a massive scale also began, and the sales value of the preparation in Germany alone reached EUR 80 million.
The beneficial effects of the plant
Pelargonium root extract has gained great popularity due to its healing properties. It has antibacterial and antiviral properties. It blocks the multiplication of harmful microbes and stops the further development of the infection. What’s more, it is responsible for increasing the movement of cilia in the respiratory tract, which makes the removal of bacteria and viruses from the body easier and faster.
In addition, African geranium extract has a positive effect on the immune system. It strengthens immunity and makes cells that have been attacked by microbes almost immediately rendered harmless, which prevents the spread of the disease. Thanks to the preparation, the body reacts faster to emerging infectious changes and fights the disease more effectively.
Due to the currently observed global problem of overuse of antibiotics, African geranium extract is recommended as an element of pre-antibiotic treatment, which, thanks to the use of this natural plant medicine, can simply be avoided in many cases of upper respiratory tract infections.
Treatment safety
The fully natural mechanism of action of the African geranium extract makes it suitable for children as well. Due to the sporadic occurrence and mild nature of side effects, this preparation is characterized by a high degree of safety. African geranium has been tested in many laboratories and medical clinics. It is one of the best-known plants in the world, which is why practically everyone can use the plant extract.
However, before we decide on a specific preparation, it is worth checking whether it has undergone the standardization process. It ensures the proper concentration of bioactive substances and guarantees the proper operation of the extract.
African geranium is an effective solution to problems with upper respiratory tract infections, which in our climate zone intensify in the autumn and winter. This is a natural way to get rid of microbes from our body, which is worth reaching for. Umckaloabo is recommended in this case, available at the Apo-discounter.pl online pharmacy.
