Burdock leaves and root for treating joints

Burdock is a plant that densely occupies garbage dumps, vacant lots, banks of reservoirs, even private plots. Few people know that the giant with large leaves is very popular in folk medicine. Healing tinctures and decoctions are prepared from the rhizome, and the leaves are used as compresses to treat joints.

Among the advantages of homemade medicines, safety is also noted - the raw materials do not contain elements harmful to the human body. Having familiarized yourself with the basic characteristics and rules for using the plant, you can begin traditional treatment - compliance with all requirements will certainly lead to positive results.

Rules for collecting, drying, storing raw materials

The leaves and rhizome of burdock are used for medicinal purposes. It is recommended to go for the healing component that is part of home remedies at the time of the highest concentration of useful substances. The rhizome is usually dug up in spring or autumn, the leaves are collected in summer.

Dig out the powerful rhizome carefully - it often stretches to great depths (up to half a meter). Cut the greens with a sharp knife, trying to collect only young leaves. At home, carefully rinse the collected raw materials; it is recommended to cut the rhizome into small pieces - this will speed up drying.

It is recommended to dry the prepared components on baking sheets or special racks. If you use metal equipment, first cover the surface with thick cardboard and gauze cloth. Drying should be done under shelters, in the attic, in a warm, dry room.

A prerequisite is good ventilation; the lack of fresh air will lead to debate and damage to plant materials. Turn the particles regularly while drying continues.

It is also allowed to use an oven or a special dryer for drying. The only caution is to avoid too high temperatures. Hot air will inevitably begin to destroy the most valuable elements, and the healing properties will significantly decrease.

After drying, send the ready-to-use raw materials into glass jars, plastic containers, and cardboard boxes. If it is possible to store the healing component in a cool, dry room, it is allowed to pack it in linen bags.

The shelf life of roots, subject to storage rules, is up to three years, leaves - only a year. It is recommended to periodically sort through the dry particles; if mold appears, you will have to stock up on fresh medicinal raw materials.

If you are unable to independently stock up on a valuable component for home treatment, you can contact your nearest pharmacy or place an order online. The cost of packaging is from 45 to 65 rubles.

Experts warn that when purchasing on the Internet, it is recommended to be careful and purchase the product only on sites with good reviews (often even positive reviews do not guarantee the quality of the raw materials).

Beneficial properties of burdock

The peculiarity of the giant plant is its rich composition. The raw materials contain elements with a wide range of effects:

Fatty acid. They actively fight atherosclerosis, lower cholesterol levels, cleanse blood vessels and bone tissue from harmful compounds.
Inulin. Participates in metabolic and digestive processes, saturates joint tissue with useful elements.
Glycosides. They reduce the risk of developing cancer, prevent the degeneration of benign cells into malignant formations, and stop the spread of inflammation in the joints.
Essential oils. They increase the body's defenses, destroy pathogenic bacteria and infections, and alleviate joint diseases (relieve pain and inflammation).
Vitamins. They normalize metabolism and have a positive effect on all organs and systems of the body.
Minerals. They normalize electrolyte balance, compensate for the lack of certain elements, promote the functioning of all organs, and strengthen muscle and bone tissue.

The combination of useful elements actively affects almost all diseases and serious problems of the body. Most often, burdock is used for joint diseases - herbal remedies effectively relieve pain and inflammation, regenerate affected tissues, and restore mobility. Among the medicinal qualities of plant raw materials are:

pain reliever;
regenerating;
anti-inflammatory;
antibacterial;
disinfectant.

Home remedies not only actively cope with joint diseases (rheumatism, gout, atherosclerosis), but also protect against relapses. The use of decoctions and tinctures will serve as an effective prophylaxis against repeated damage to bone tissue, cartilage, and ligaments.

Compress of fresh burdock leaves

It is recommended to use fresh leaves of the plant for radiculitis, arthritis, and inflammation of the joints. You should be prepared for long-term treatment - it will take up to several months to completely get rid of all signs of the disease (depending on the degree of damage).

Wash the fresh leaves of the plant thoroughly and blot off any remaining moisture with a napkin. Place a green “compress” on the painful area, making sure that the lower part of the leaf (with leaf veins) is located on the skin. Secure with a woolen scarf (to avoid irritation of the dermis with hard fabric, first use gauze or a bandage), leave until the morning.

In the morning, remove the compress and rinse the skin with warm water (it is not necessary to use detergents). Repeat the procedure every evening. During the day, it is allowed to use other compositions based on the giant plant.

Porridge from the leaves of the plant for severe joint pain

For unbearable pain in the joints, it is recommended to use compresses from crushed leaves of the plant at home. The product will quickly soothe the pain and start the process of repairing damaged tissue.

Turn fresh leaves into pulp (use a meat grinder or blender). If you chop plant material with a knife, be sure to grind it with your hands and leave for a few minutes so that the juice comes out.

Place the resulting pulp on a gauze cloth, wrap it, and place it on the painful area. Fix and leave overnight. Complete the procedure by rinsing the dermis using warm water. Another option for preparing vegetable mush:

Cut young leaves (collect plant materials only in spring) into small thin strips.
Place the herbal “noodles” in a glass container and cover with a plastic lid.
Place in direct sunlight on the brightest windowsill.
After a few weeks, the plant material will turn into a paste with an unpleasant odor (light mold may appear on the surface), indicating the readiness of the home remedy.

Use the product as you would a paste of fresh leaves - wrap it in a thin cloth and place it on the painful area. Leave the gauze until completely dry and rinse the dermis. Repeat the procedure every day.

Methods of using burdock

Treatment of joints with burdock is carried out using various methods. These include compresses, external use of ointments, and products for oral use. Let's take a closer look at each of the application options.

Compress

To treat joints with burdock leaves using compresses, you will need:

5 fresh burdock leaves;
5 ml of vegetable oil (can be sunflower or olive);
1 liter of boiling water;
Cling film;
Woolen scarf.

Before using the leaves, rinse them under running water and dry them with a dry kitchen towel. This is necessary to remove particles of sand or soil that may remain on the leaves.

After this, place the burdock leaves in a stack so that their velvety surface is directed downward. Place a pan of boiling water on a stack of burdock leaves for half a minute.

While this is happening, rub the sore joint (this procedure is usually performed for the knee joint) with vegetable oil. Place burdock leaves on top, wrap in cling film and wrap in a woolen scarf. Repeat the procedure once every day until your pain disappears.

There is also another compress recipe. To complete it you will need:

1 large burdock leaf;
10 ml vodka;
Cling film;
Woolen scarf.

In this case, it is also necessary to first remove dirt from the surface of the leaf and dry it, then gently knead it with your fingers so that it releases juice better. The knee (instead of oil) is treated with vodka. Then the algorithm is the same: apply burdock leaves for joint pain and wrap them up. The course of treatment is two weeks.

There is another recipe that may seem rather strange. To produce it you will need burdock leaves. Wash them and dry them. Then finely chop into a jar, close it and leave in any warm sunny place until the leaves become moldy. Mix the essence and then apply to the damaged joint for 2-3 hours, fixing it with wax paper and a woolen scarf. This recipe helps to get rid of joint pain after just 1-2 uses. There is only one “but”: the drug does not have the most pleasant smell, but this is fully compensated by the level of its effectiveness. In addition to the knees, it can be applied to the neck and back.

Ointments and decoctions

To make burdock ointment, you don't need many ingredients. You will need burdock roots and olive oil.

First, the burdock roots need to be dried. After that, grind them. Both a meat grinder and a blender are suitable for this. Naturally, the resulting burdock root will not be perfectly dry, so it should be squeezed out using gauze. After this, mix the resulting burdock root concentrate with olive oil in a concentration of 2:1, mix and leave in the refrigerator. Only after the drug has thickened can it be used externally. It is enough to apply the ointment to the disturbing joint 2-3 times a day. The course of treatment is 10-14 days.

Burdock juice has an excellent effect on joint pain. If it is impossible to obtain it, it is enough to purchase a concentrate from the root, which is sold in a pharmacy. If you purchased the pharmaceutical version, mix two teaspoons of it with one teaspoon of olive oil and apply to damaged joints.

In some healing manuals you can find recommendations on the use of burdock inflorescences and leaves to produce decoctions. The advantage of such recipes is that both fresh and dried parts of the plant are equally good. To prepare a decoction, you need to take 40 grams of burdock leaves or its inflorescences, pour half a liter of boiling water and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. After this, you need to cool the medicine to 40 degrees and strain. A scarf or bandage is soaked in the broth and it is applied to the joint area for half an hour daily.

If we are talking about the joints of the toes, it would be appropriate to do foot baths. To feel the effect, you need to keep your feet in the bath for 20 minutes 2-3 times a day for a week.

Ointment based on fresh roots

Alternative medicine based on burdock suggests preparing an ointment, which is considered the most effective for inflammatory processes in the joints. At the same time, the home remedy relieves pain, strengthens bone tissue, and improves limb mobility. Step by step recipe:

Wash the fresh rhizomes of the plant, chop finely, and squeeze out the juice.
Mix the resulting liquid with any vegetable oil (two parts of the vegetable component will require one part of oil).
Mix thoroughly, put in the refrigerator, leave for two days.

Rub the prepared product onto the joints affected by the disease. Rub the oily liquid in gently for at least five minutes. Repeat the procedure three times a day, thoroughly clean the skin before each use of the herbal ointment.

Do not prepare the ointment for future use - its medicinal qualities last only three days. Be sure to store in the refrigerator with the container securely closed.

Other folk recipes

In addition to burdock, other gifts of nature are used to help cope with pain and cure arthrosis. All of them are prepared quite simply, so even a beginner can handle this work. All ingredients can be easily found or purchased at an affordable price. This makes it possible to use this type of treatment even for people with limited financial resources.

An infusion of dandelions is considered an excellent remedy for joint diseases. The recipe will use only the flowers of this plant and ordinary vodka.

Step-by-step medication recipe:

Yellow dandelion flowers gather in a city park or open area.
Then they are thoroughly washed and dried.

After the specified period of time, the infusion will be ready.

A positive effect can be achieved only after a month's course. This mixture can also be used for preventive purposes, helping to avoid the occurrence and development of the disease.

Effective ointment

A good way to get rid of arthrosis is an ointment based on mumiyo (a biologically active resin-like substance that flows from the crevices of the rocks of the southern mountains). It can be used as a separate medicine and in combination with other folk and pharmaceutical medicines.

The ointment is prepared as follows:

Approximately 5 grams of mumiyo are placed in a small bowl.
At least 100 grams of liquid honey is poured there.
Both ingredients are thoroughly mixed until a homogeneous mass is formed.
Before applying the product, you must lubricate your hand with vegetable oil or any fat. This will help prevent the ointment from sticking and simplify the application process.
The medicine is gently rubbed into the joint at least 5 times a day.

Similarly, you can prepare an ointment based on blue or red clay, as well as ozokerite. Instead of honey, you can use ordinary water and achieve the required consistency. This medicine helps relieve inflammation and reduce pain symptoms.

This remedy is most effective in treating small joints of the legs and arms. It is a solution in which it is necessary to steam limbs damaged by arthrosis. It is best to use sea salt to prepare the mixture. It is more beneficial for the human body and helps to get rid of the disease faster.

Sequencing:

Place 3 tablespoons of baking soda in a suitable-sized bowl.
50 grams of sea salt are also added there.
Both components are filled with 3 liters of hot water. Its temperature should be such that the patient is comfortable.
The liquid is stirred until the bulk ingredients are completely dissolved.
Sore arms or legs are lowered into a basin and kept there until the liquid cools.
After this, put on warm socks or gloves.

You should not be treated with burdock during periods of exacerbation:

drugs for oral administration have pronounced diaphoretic and diuretic effects; such activation of the process can speed up the elimination and reduce the period of action of some medications;
ointments and oil balms create a film on the surface of the joint, which prevents the evaporation of the medicinal substance, but can slightly increase the local temperature of the joint and delay recovery;
alcohol tinctures stimulate blood circulation, warm up the joint, which can cause increased swelling and delay recovery.

Also, it is better not to use products made from burdock:

if you are allergic to components;
for kidney diseases (it increases the excretion of fluid and can provoke the movement of stones).
