Camel's tail grass: description of the plant

Caragana Mane
Caragana mane (Caragana jubata, Chapyzhnik, Grivka) is a perennial herbaceous shrub belonging to the legume family, the genus Caragana. Grows in the mountainous areas of China, Eastern Mongolia, Nepal, Tibet and India. In Russia, places where Camel's tail grows can be found in the Far East and Eastern Siberia, as well as in the mountainous regions of Central Asia.

All types of caragana are widely cultivated as ornamental plants and for securing slopes. Many species are honey plants. Paint was previously obtained from the bark.

The Caragana bush can reach a height of 1 meter, has long thick branches, densely planted with thorns, dead petioles of last year's foliage and dark green compound leaves. Caragana jubata blooms with single pinkish or orange flowers; by the end of summer, fruits ripen on the branches - small brown-brown beans with sharp thorns. Caragana is extremely hardy, capable of growing in poor soils and successfully surviving even very long droughts.

Flowering Caragana mane

Camel's tail grass is included in the list of rare endangered plants and is protected by the regional Red Books of the Irkutsk region and the Republic of Buryatia.

The medicinal properties of Caragana are due to its rich chemical composition, which includes the following biologically active substances:

• essential oils;
• organic acids;
• Sahara;
• flavonoids;
• carotene;
• tannins;
• ascorbic acid;
• coumarins and alkaloid compounds;
• resin.

Useful components are found in all parts of Caragana, but the roots and aerial parts, including branches and wood, are especially actively used for medicinal purposes.

Population

This culture has become widespread (you can see the maned caragana in natural conditions in the photo) in the north-west of China, in the highlands of Tibet, and Mongolia. In Russia it grows in Eastern Siberia, the Far East, the mountainous regions of Central Asia, Buryatia, and Irkutsk. Camel tail grows and develops best on high mountain peaks. For him, the subalpine and forest belt is preferable. Settles on rocks, riverbed pebbles, rocky placers. Selects sandy, loamy, well-drained soils. Caragana mane does not need a lot of moisture and soil rich in mineral fertilizers. Currently, this unique plant is on the verge of extinction. It is listed in the Red Book of the Irkutsk region and Buryatia.

Harvesting is done by cutting the plant at some distance from the ground. It is strictly forbidden to pull out the entire caragana by the roots; this destroys the population of a rare plant listed in the Red Book.

The collected raw materials are dried in ventilated warm rooms or under canopies, tied in small bundles and hung on stretched ropes.

Sometimes, instead of Caragana arborescens, raw materials of one of the plant forms are sold: common yellow acacia or Caragana arborescens. Be careful.

Caragana is successfully used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the female genital area - cervical erosion, metro- and menorrhagia, leucorrhoea, menstruation disorders, etc.

Traditional healers in some cases recommend combining external and internal use of caragana preparations.

The genus Caragana contains about 80 species. The name comes from the Kyrgyz folk name for black-eared foxes living in the thickets of Caragana frutex: “kara” - black, “gana” - ear.

For the truly unique healing capabilities of the plant, the Mongols call it “altan khara-gana” - golden caragana.
