DETAILS: Nervous system in chronic kidney disease

It is important to consider that woolly erva can bring not only benefits, but also harm. First of all, this concerns the presence of individual intolerance to the plant, which manifests itself in the form of rashes. In some cases, attacks of nausea and angioedema are observed. It is worth noting that preparations containing pol-palu help remove sodium cations from the body.

It is also worth noting that products with half-palm are incompatible with saline diuretics, which increase the excretion of potassium ions. The plant has a negative effect on the enamel, softening it, so infusions and decoctions should be drunk through a straw and then rinsed with mouth.

The benefits of woolly erva are as follows:

• reduces the level of ammonia concentration in the blood;
• has a diuretic effect;
• relieves inflammation;
• fights bacterial infections;
• strengthens the body;
• removes and dissolves stones (small sizes);
• has a choleretic effect;
• removes salts;
• prevents the development of tumors;
• is a natural antiseptic;
• accelerates the process of tissue regeneration.

Contraindications include the following:

• osteoporosis;
• diseases that are accompanied by increased excretion of calcium;
• the presence of stones whose size is larger than the diameter of the ureter;
• individual intolerance to the herb and products based on it.

It is also not recommended to give such medications to children under 12 years of age. Some patients in rare cases experience side effects - nausea, angioedema, allergic reaction. They need to stop taking medications so as not to worsen the condition and cause even more harm to the body.

It must be remembered that if you take products based on Erva woolis for a long time (for several months), this damages the tooth enamel - it begins to become very thin. To prevent the problem, it is recommended to drink all liquid medications only through a straw. After taking the product, be sure to brush your teeth or rinse your mouth.

During pregnancy, you must first consult with your doctor about taking medications that contain pol-pala. The doctor must take into account the condition of the expectant mother, protect the child as much as possible, and also monitor the progress of treatment. During pregnancy, Pol-Palu should only be taken under strict supervision.

In terms of its medicinal properties, Pol-Pala is several times superior to many herbal preparations. Therefore, it is actively used in the treatment of a number of diseases.

The plant is so effective for:

• prostatitis;
• gout;
• inflammation of the bladder;
• pyelonephritis;
• stones in the bladder;
• urethritis;
• atherosclerosis;
• migraine;
• constipation;
• liver cirrhosis;
• problems with the gastrointestinal tract;
• female genital diseases (with pathology of the uterus, menstrual irregularities);
• bronchitis;
• skin diseases;
• hemorrhoids;
• pathologies of the spine.

The plant is also actively used in cosmetology. Pol-pal effectively copes with acne and relieves inflammation. Medicines based on erva woolly have a tonic effect on the skin and even out the complexion well.

• osteoporosis;
• rickets;
• hypoparathyroidism;
• renal osteodystrophy;
• age up to 12 years.

First of all, Erva preparations should not be used by people with individual intolerance or high potassium levels, as well as by pregnant women and children.

The grass, together with salts, strongly leaches calcium from the body. The decoction can erode tooth enamel, so the natives consume it through a straw. For the same reason, erva is not recommended for use by people with problems of the musculoskeletal system, with bone fractures or osteoporosis, rickets, hypoparateriosis. Possible side effects include nausea and allergies.

Erva woolly is not used for:

• increased sensitivity;
• large stones (if the size exceeds the diameter of the ureter);
• diseases accompanied by hypercalcemia;
• osteoporosis;
• pregnancy, breastfeeding;
• under 12 years of age.

Contraindications for the use of Pol-Pala herb also include the category of patients with calcium metabolism disorders (hypoparathyroidism, renal osteodystrophy due to chronic renal failure, rickets).

Tropical weed is a unique, but far from safe medicinal plant. Decoctions and infusions from it should be taken only as directed and under the strict supervision of a doctor. In addition, in some cases, the herb can cause irreparable harm to the patient’s body. It is forbidden to use a decoction of woolly erva for:

• fractures, osteoporosis, bone and musculoskeletal diseases;
• dental problems;
• diseases of the thyroid gland;
• rickets and polio;
• heart diseases;
• during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester;

True, you still need to adhere to a special diet and lead a healthy lifestyle.

Medical contraindications and duration of use of medicinal herbs

Like any medicinal product sold in pharmacies, erva woolly herb can, in addition to its benefits, cause significant harm to the sick body, associated not only with the duration of use, but also with a strong effect in curing advanced diseases.

If your disease is in the initial stage, then the therapeutic effect of using this drug will be noticeable immediately, but if the disease is very advanced, then you will not feel the therapeutic effect immediately.

Here you will definitely need at least three courses of its use, during which you should not eat spicy and salty foods, or drink alcoholic beverages.

However, it is worth considering that in some cases a ten-day course of treatment is sufficient; in severe stages of the disease, the course of therapy should not exceed one month using a hundred-gram package of herbal remedy. After a six-month break, the course can be repeated again.

I would like to remind you that erva woolly is not such a harmless herb, but a very serious medicinal plant that can thin your tooth enamel with extraordinary ease and remove a sufficient amount of potassium and vitamins from the body.

Therefore, take liquid preparations based on this herb through a plastic tube or thin straw, then thoroughly brush your teeth and rinse your mouth.

People I know often ask me the question: can everyone use woolly erva? Of course, like any healing agent, this herbal raw material has its own medical contraindications:

1. It should not be given to young children under twelve years of age,
2. pregnant and breastfeeding women,
3. patients with a systemic disease of osteoporosis of the skeleton and renal osteodystrophy, reducing the density and absorbing porosity of the bone tissue of the spine, arms and legs, as a result of changes in mineral metabolism,
