With its help, intervertebral hernia, sciatica, thyroid disorders, women’s diseases and joint damage are treated.
Tips before starting
A tincture of the rhizome of the plant is most often made with alcohol or vodka, but the inflorescences, stems and leaves also have medicinal properties. They are high in vitamin C and minerals.
The rhizome is harvested in early spring or late autumn, digging up parts that are shallow, parallel to the ground.
Above-ground mass is collected in mid-July, during the period of the beginning of flowering.
If you do not want to engage in self-procurement of raw materials, you can use dry collections from a pharmacy.
