Burnet root: medicinal properties and contraindications

What does a burnet look like?

The hemorrhagic medicinal plant not only has an unusual appearance, but also has a set of useful healing properties.
Hemophilia decoctions and tinctures are used as an antiviral or antibacterial agent to treat skin diseases and gastrointestinal tract diseases and much more. Not everyone knows what hemorrhage looks like, given that this plant is wild and not suitable for growing in the garden. Meanwhile, the perennial plant is an ornamental plant and some of its varieties can compete in beauty with famous flowers that have long won pride of place in the garden.

It is a herbaceous plant with a thick, woody horizontal rhizome up to 12 cm long. Many fine roots, about 20 cm long, emerge from the central root. The stem is straight, single, slightly ribbed, hollow inside, branched at the top, and can reach from 60 to 120 cm in height.

According to the description of the burnet, its basal leaves are collected in a rosette, the size is large and petiolate, pinnately complex. The leaves are glabrous, ovate, with a jagged edge, heart-shaped at the base on short petioles. The stem has approximately 1-3 leaves, from bottom to top in size. The shades of the leaves can be different: light and dark green, bluish, yellow, orange, rarely pinkish, depending on the type and variety of the crop.

Inflorescences on long peduncles are classified as capitative, short-cylindrical or spherical. Burnet flowers are small, with one leaf and two scales, the upper pistil, the lower bisexual. The perianth is simple, of four purple leaves drooping outward. The first flowering can be expected in the second, sometimes third year after planting.

Compound

The richness of the biological and chemical composition of the plant ensures its widespread use in recipes of traditional healers. A significant concentration of tannins from the group of pyrogallols (tannins) provides a pronounced anti-inflammatory and astringent property.

The maximum concentration of tannins (from 23 to 25%) is contained in the trunk in flowing growths in the root area, from 15 to 17% in root shoots, in the thick rhizome - only 12 - 13% of the substance. In addition, the root system of the plant is rich in steroids, saponins and organic acids. The inflorescences and leaf crowns of Hemophilia contain significant amounts of ascorbic acid and flavonoids (kaempferol and quercetin).

The supply of nutrients in a plant may vary depending on natural areas and conditions. Even poor soil provokes the growth of burnet, enriching the plant with useful substances.

Harvesting

Rhizomes and roots of hemophilia are used as medicinal raw materials. Harvesting takes place during the fruiting period. The optimal period is when the seed pods have already formed in place of the flowers. But not completely dry. Harvest time is at the end of August - September. The burnet root is completely dug up, including the main rhizome and small roots. Tributaries are not cut off.

The raw materials are cleared of soil, washed with cold water, and the elements of the above-ground part of the plant are removed. Then the roots are cut into pieces no more than fifteen centimeters long. They are left outdoors for several hours. Then the raw materials are dried until ready in the open sun in dry and hot weather. But if the weather is humid, they are put away in attics, where they are scattered on paper or burlap in a single layer.

You can also dry the rhizome in the oven, setting the temperature to no more than forty degrees. But it is important to cover metal baking sheets with parchment paper. This is done in order to avoid contact of raw materials with iron, since the medicinal root turns black from such contact.

The raw material can be used for five years, as it retains its healing properties. But it is important to provide it with the correct storage conditions. Of course, a dry place without access to light is suitable for this. The roots are placed in paper bags or wooden boxes. The herbaceous part is not used for medicinal purposes, but is consumed fresh and added to salads and soups.

Procurement, collection, storage

Burnet grows in Europe, Siberia, East and Central Asia, and the Far East. Found in North America. Prefers shrubs, banks of water bodies, forest edges and clearings, meadows, cliffs.

Before harvesting the roots of redhead yourself, you need to take into account that in some Russian regions (for example, Ivanovo, Vologda, Kostroma) this plant is included in the regional Red Books.

The optimal time for digging up rhizomes is from the last ten days of August to the end of September.

Clean the raw materials from particles of earth and rinse thoroughly in a large volume of water. Cut into pieces up to 150 mm long and dry for eight hours in the sun. Why scatter it in one layer onto horizontal planes covered with thick paper in the attic, veranda or barn.
