Harvesting pine cones

You have to start harvesting them at a time when they are still green. In young cones contains the largest amount of useful substances( especially in these magnesium during these periods - it is a part of chlorophyll, which gives them a green color).

Treatment with green cones will be especially effective in arrhythmias and other pathologies of the heart.

But even if they are already beginning to lose their green color, they can still be collected. You can do this, while they have not yet been revealed. Disclosed cones already lose most of their useful properties - treatment with them will be ineffective.

The period when it is possible to collect vegetable raw materials - from the beginning of May to the end of June.

Keep cones for a long time is not worth it. It is better to make a tincture immediately after collection. That's why such tools are often made on alcohol or vodka, than on water. Alcohol tinctures can be stored for a long time, so you do not need to store the bumps themselves.

If you still want to make a tincture on the water or other means from cones, you need to keep them. To do this, grind them and dry them in the oven at a temperature of 40 degrees.

Recipes for tinctures

The best option is to prepare for alcohol.70% alcohol solution can be bought at the pharmacy. It, unlike vodka, does not contain any extra additives.

1. On alcohol

To prepare the preparation, take 10 g pine cones and 50 ml alcohol. Grind vegetable raw materials. Fill with alcohol. Seal it tightly. Insist 2 weeks in a dark place at room temperature. Shake well every day. After 2 weeks, strain and pour into the container in which you will store the medicine.

Alcohol tincture is taken 1 tablespoon 3 times daily before meals( 15 minutes).

2. On vodka

If you are preparing tincture on vodka, then it will need twice as much as alcohol. That is, 10 grams of cones 100 ml of vodka. In other respects, the recipe remains the same. When choosing a drink for the preparation of a medicine, pay special attention to its quality. Vodka should be natural, should not contain any harmful additives.

For a drug on vodka, the dosage is the same as for alcohol.

3. On water

This option is preferred for those who are not allowed to drink alcohol. For long-term treatment it is better to use water tincture.

Take the 5 knobs of medium size. Grind it. Pour 2 glasses of warm water. Put on the fire and wait for the boil. Cook for another 5 minutes. Cool down.

Take a cup of water a quarter of a cup 3 times a day before meals.

4. Combined means

With needles

And also essential oils that improve the process of recovery of the body after a stroke and normalize the heart rhythm, and alkaloids that help with pain in the heart. Also contain substances that reduce cholesterol.

For a drug with needles, dosage is 15-20 drops three times a day.

With honey

Another good addition is honey. It enhances the hypotensive and immunomodulating properties of pine cones. The treatment with such a drug helps well from high blood pressure, which can provoke a second stroke.

Recipe:

• Take a liter jar of cones.
• Add 400 ml of liquid honey.
• Close tightly and put in a warm place.
