Treatment and application of hemlock speckled
Hemlock
Hemlock mottled is a biennial poisonous plant belonging to the umbrella family. In the first year of life, the plant develops several basal leaves. It was at this time that hemlock is very similar to ordinary parsley, which is why some people are poisoned by it. In the second year, the plant develops a stem with many branches, the length of which can reach two meters.
The root of the plant is white, spindle-shaped. The stem of the plant is strongly branched, 60–180 cm high. The leaves of the hemlock are smooth, pinnately dissected. The flowers are small, gathering in complex umbrellas that form a corymbose inflorescence.
The whole plant is poisonous! Therefore, it should be used with caution in treatment. Flowering hemlock lasts from early to mid-summer, seed ripening occurs from August to September. Hemlock has an unpleasant odor that can cause a headache, for this reason, when collecting it, you must be from the side of the wind.
Hemlock speckled grows throughout Russia, in Western Siberia, the Caucasus and Central Asia. It can grow in a garden, in a wasteland, near housing, in neglected vegetable gardens, and less often in shrubs.
Hemlock grass should be collected only during the flowering period of the plant.
Application and preparation of hemlock tincture
For medicinal purposes, the leaves, stems and flowers of hemlock are used. The leaves are harvested during the flowering period, and the seeds – after they have dried.
In folk medicine, hemlock is used as a sedative, analgesic and anticonvulsant for epilepsy, migraine or whooping cough, that is, in cases where a person has a disease that is accompanied by spasm of internal organs or convulsions.
At the beginning of summer, a strong and tall speckled hemlock is released from inflorescences, which contain a huge amount of essential oil. Collection of inflorescences should be carried out in two glass jars. Use one jar (1,5 l) to collect crushed inflorescences with several leaves. When the jar is half full, you need to pour the contents into a three-liter jar. Pour 500 ml of vodka (or moonshine) there. When you move the raw materials into a three-liter jar, do not forget to shake everything that is in it: this is necessary to soak all the raw materials with vodka. When you fill the bottle by 50% with raw materials, you can safely go home, where you fill the entire volume of the bottle with vodka. After that, the bottle must be corked with a lid (you can use a plastic bag, only tightly) and put it somewhere in a cool place for two weeks, for example, in the cellar. Of course, if there is a need to take the tincture after 5 days, then you can take it, but the effect will not be the best, since the remedy has not yet been infused. When the medicine is infused for the prescribed period, pour a little into a separate container and refrigerate away from food.
For cancer of the esophagus, the tincture should be used as follows: start with 1 drop of the tincture (diluted in 100 ml of water) in the morning on an empty stomach. From the second day, you need to increase the dose by 1 drop and take it until the day when a single dose is 40 drops of tincture. Now we do everything exactly the opposite, that is, from 40 drops daily we take 1 drop less. You should stop at the moment when you need to take 1 drop. After 80 days of such treatment, you can safely eat the food that you ate before the onset of the disease. However, after a month, you need to repeat the course of treatment again according to the same scheme (this is the second course of treatment). The third course of treatment is fixing, it is carried out after another 6 months, but only those who wish.
Everyone knows that all parts of the hemlock plant are poisonous, therefore, preparations from it should be taken very carefully and in small doses: drops in the form of tincture of alcohol.
Alcohol tincture of hemlock. To prepare it, you need to take 10 grams of leaves and 10 grams of hemlock seeds and pour them with 40 ml of 90-degree alcohol, then leave to infuse for two weeks, then strain. It is necessary to take such a tincture in a diluted form: 2 drops of tincture per 20 ml of water. Take the remedy daily 3-5 times, no more.
Safety measures
I repeat once again: hemlock is a very poisonous plant, so you need to take it carefully and in small doses, but it’s better to consult a doctor and not self-medicate.
In the case of taking a large dose of hemlock speckled, the body is poisoned and the following symptoms appear: salivation, dizziness, vomiting, dilated pupils, burning in the mouth. Without medical attention, the result will be paralysis of the respiratory tract and everything will end in death.
