Plants have in our body
not only impact on health, disease
and death, but act in addition to solid
state is also the spiritual.
Theophrastus
Today, hardly anyone would argue with a great florist antiquity - in favor of treatment with curative the forces of nature and use of domestic reserves of the human body all the vigorous voices of representatives of scientific medicine.
Scientists agree: love green friends "is good for health, not only in traditional quality - in the form of tinctures, decoctions, lotions, etc. Moreover, you can use plants without removing them from their natural conditions.
Scientists estimate: Plants of the Earth annually emits about 490 million tons of volatile production, volatile substances that kill or inhibit the growth and development of microorganisms. As far as they are biologically active, each of us more than once convinced, bringing in House strong-smelling bouquet of flowers. Lily, lily, or cherry in a few hours even the most healthy animals can cause a very unpleasant painful. Animals from these substances, in any case, a strong concentration, and worse. Chopped leaves of cherry, placed under glass hood, together with a fly, mouse, and even a rat, are capable of in some time to kill the animal.
But residents of the Caucasus cherish the dream of the walnut tree - And a bad dream and a guaranteed headache the next morning. But here are a few leaves of this plant in a closet or room can always be seen in their home: volatile leaf walnut ward off flies, mosquitoes and other insects, even a mole.
This "killer effect" has long interested scientists. The first study shown: volatile volatile trees nominate a powerful barrier to pathogens: hectares of deciduous forest in summer daily highlights 2 kg of volatile phytoncids pine - 5 kg, and juniper - 30 kg. This quantity is enough to keep the average settlement of many misfortunes. Clearly, that such disinfection of the city, at home or own lungs far more pleasant (and often, and more effective) chemical disinfecting solution.
Volatiles set your order not only all around us. Penetrating through the lungs and skin in the human body, they kill and inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms, protect it from infectious diseases, embalm tissue. Bioactive volatile normalize heart rate and blood pressure involved in metabolism, a positive effect on the human psyche. People who live in forested areas is much less susceptible to diseases of the upper respiratory tract compared with the townspeople.
And if we add an aesthetic component that actively influence the creation of positive emotions - one the most important factors of health - then we can safely say that the beauty of nature is sure to deliver, if not the world, the health of the dominant biovida.
Aromatherapy - that's good, but the plants and create a second line of defense of our health - non-volatile bactericidal substances. Sap of pine needles, fir, juniper, poplar, oak, birch and many other plants is an excellent antiseptic.
Juniper, perhaps, this champion among these plants. He identifies fitontsidov about 6 times more than the other conifers, and 15 times more than deciduous. In our country more than two dozen species of juniper. Among them are trees and shrubs. Now all of them in one way or another in need of protection. Juniper is very sensitive to air pollution by industrial emissions: around many cities, he virtually disappeared. A junipers grow slowly, and in most species due to various violations do not occur seed renewal.
pine belongs to one of the most popular fitontsidnyh plants (almost all kinds included in the genus pine, have antimicrobial properties).
air of pine forests clean and salutary. Not without reason, many health centers and hospitals were built in pine forests. Volatile production of this tree, as a rule, increase the body's defenses - pine air as though his tone. Children who have lived at least several years in an area rich in pine forests, less susceptible to colds. Soil samples (from surface to a certain depth), or air collected in a pine forest, contain 10 times less pathogenic microorganisms than samples collected in a birch forest.
Birch, too, faithfully perform the duties of Environmental Health - ruthlessly crushes with microorganisms, which brings the wind in the birch grove.
In plantations, where the birch grows in a cubic meter of air, there total of about 450 microbes. And in the operating rooms, where everything, including air, must be sterile, are allowed on existing standards content per cubic meter Air 500 neboleznetvornyh microorganisms. Birch is curative in broncho-pulmonary diseases. Allocated to its essential oils, like a rug, wrap Peace.
Another highly respected representative of the Natural Health - oak. Excellent nurse forests. Phytochemicals that help the tree "Rein in high blood pressure. Walking through the oak - a very useful drug for hypertensive patients.
Maple, as shown by the study of biochemists, not only has high fitontsidnoy activity, but also capable of absorbing harmful chemicals to humans, such as benzene.
Tui, as a caring nurse, caring for children - it helps volatile flanked by an immature body fight germs of whooping cough, diphtheria and other infections.
Does not very burdensome, prevention and therapy, pleasant and efficient, almost no contraindications or side effects? Start planting plants at his dacha, or around the house, you open your own clinic, without a license and without large expenses. They greatly help, even If you're unlucky, and giving or yard located next to the road. Sit on the site rowan tree, viburnum, bird cherry, cotoneaster, hawthorn, lilac, chokeberry Aronia, buckeye. Even in winter they will be diligent to reduce dust levels by almost 40%, and in summer - up to 86%! Conifers - spruce, arborvitae, juniper berries - also did not interfere. By the above-described advantages, they possess one - excellent cleaner.
And here's a special recipe-track to recovery. Pine, Thuja occidentalis, larch, spruce, juniper, birch, oak, mountain ash, and lilac - stimulate hematopoiesis and the cardiovascular system reinforce the action currents of the brain, reduce blood sugar levels. And also this park reduces headaches, fatigue, and improves health and mood.
And that's not all the merits of park-garden in front of health care. It improves the atmosphere, and not only its disinfection and saturated with oxygen. Plant leaves exposure to sunlight of a certain length ionize the surrounding air, and it has beneficial effects on human health.
In Russia the summer brief, and therapy of green forests and picturesque meadows delight did not last long. But who said that the herbal medicine - a purely seasonal phenomenon?
Our usual room plants such as geraniums and begonias, reduce the amount of microorganisms in the surrounding air by 43%, tsiperus - 59%, melkotsvetnaya Chrysanthemum - by 66%. Justice sake, we note that among the exotic curiosities are fighters for healthy air. If the room is "settled" eucalyptus and myrtle, and there is no longer meet the flies, mosquitoes and many microbes.
Houseplants purify the air, reduce the amount held in its disease-causing bacteria and even contribute to the treatment some diseases.
Curative effects on the body and have allocated them volatile. It is noticed that the volatiles of different plants have impact on well-defined organs and systems of rights.
AM Rabinowitz, professor of botany, provides a classification of plants:
rosemary drug helps in the treatment of chronic bronchitis, emphysema, upper respiratory tract catarrh, asthma, etc.;
laurel - In spastic states, cramps bowel and biliary tract;
oregano, zmeegolovnik, lavender, lemon balm, Monarda has a calming effect;
juniper 8 times (!) Reduces colony streptococci in the air, and myrtle ordinary reduces pathogens in half. In experiment Chlorophytum crested in 24 hours cleared the air of harmful germs and bacteria by 88%;
volatile peppermint have vasodilator action. This plant helps to concentrate, so experts advise to put a flower pot of mint on your desktop;
and the most Common geranium relieves insomnia, neurosis and other diseases of the nervous system.
Phytoncides, says Professor AM Rabinowitz, allocate even a dead plant tissue. So the modern fashion for dried flowers - echinacea, lavender, lemon balm, zmeegolovnik - very handy. Composition of them not only are cozy, but also secrete essential oils, healthy family.
In this list you can not find your favorite flower? Do not rush to blame it into uselessness. Medicinal properties of plants are still being studied. But one can say with confidence: all plants are useful as give us joy.
PS Before you settle on the sill of a new green friend, make sure that none of the household are not allergic to the fragrance. Do not take the house where have a small child, the plants with poisonous leaves - boxwood, oleander, dieffenbachia.
