Solyanka hill: medicinal properties and contraindications

Quite often, plants growing in adverse conditions have healing properties. These herbs include hill hodgepodge, a spherical bush. This is a natural hepatoprotector, a representative of the Amaranth family. The plant began to be studied at the beginning of the 20th century, although in Siberia it was actively used before.

Chemical composition

Solyanka hill grows in depleted dry soil. Despite this, the composition contains a large number of useful substances:

1. Flavonoids. Compounds of this group positively affect the work of the heart. The medicinal plant contains quartzetine and tricin. Isoramnetin and rutin are also present in the natural medicine.
2. Carotenoids. Substances contribute to the increase of the body's defenses.
3. Amino acids. Thanks to the content of glycine and betaine, the nervous system is strengthened.
4. Glycosides. The intake of these substances in the body makes it easier to tolerate stress.
5. Saponins. Together with carotenoids, they strengthen the immune system and help get rid of edema by removing excess fluid.
6. Vitamin E. Antioxidant neutralizes the harm of toxins.
7. Micro, macrocells. The mineral composition is represented by silicon, iron, phosphorus. The composition also contains potassium and copper. Such a complex increases bone density, necessary for normal heart function.
8. Phytosterols and gamma-linolenic acid. These substances accelerate the metabolism.

10. Complex polysaccharides. The inulin and manan present in the composition help to reduce weight and normalize blood sugar. These substances restore the intestinal microflora.
11. Alkaloids. There are few of them in the plant, because they do not have a special effect on the human body, they can slightly lower blood pressure. They are isolated from hodgepodge and sent to the production of readily soluble hydrochloric salts.

Given the rich composition of the hodgepodge, it is recommended to use it in combination with other drugs for the treatment of liver diseases and for preventive purposes. The plant has unique healing properties, which are determined by the content of a whole complex of nutrients.

How it looks and where it grows

Thin leaves of a semi-cylindrical shape are painted in light green and covered with a layer of bristles. The branches are intertwined, so the hodgepodge looks like a ball. At first they are soft, but gradually harden. Due to the long root, the annual plant is held in sandy soil and receives the moisture necessary for growth.

Flowering begins in July and occurs until September, then the plant becomes prickly and enters the fruiting phase. The flowers are small, white-green or white-pink, salty seeds also have small sizes. Since, having lost its “fastening”, the plant moves under the influence of the wind, it is called tumbleweed.

In height, the hodgepodge grows up to 100 cm.Grassy annuals are common in Eurasia, Africa, North America and Central Asia, in the Far East, found in the Baikal region, Siberia. The plant can be found in Kazakhstan and the lower Volga. Entire plantations are sown in Altai, and the resulting raw materials are used for industrial purposes. Solyanka is sold in pharmacies in the form of dietary supplements and herbs for the preparation of traditional medicine.

Collection and storage

Raw materials are collected before flowering with sharp scissors or a knife. To protect the skin from spines, be sure to wear tight gloves. Green shoots are left in a cool room with good ventilation and without access to light. Dried grass is crushed and distributed into paper bags.

Shelf life of raw materials is 18-24 months, subject to acceptable temperature values ​​(not higher than + 25 ° C). In the place chosen for storage there should not be high humidity and air stagnation.

The healing properties of hodgepodge

Liver cells are constantly involved in laborious work, without their participation, not a single metabolic process proceeds. Hepatocytes serve as a barrier to the entry of hazardous substances into the body. Toxins pass through them as if through a filter. Liver cells neutralize and inactivate these substances.

With the regular intake of a large amount of toxins in the body, hepatocytes undergo pathological changes at a structural level. As a result, the functions of the liver cells are disrupted, many of them are completely destroyed. As the hepatocyte count decreases, the effectiveness of the protective function decreases. The body can be helped through the use of hepatoprotectors, mainly natural ones. In medicine, ⅔ of such products are made on herbs.

Health benefits of hill hodgepodge:

1. Antioxidant effect. The plant has a positive effect on liver cells. Due to the content of gamma-linolenic acid, cell membranes are strengthened, antioxidant activity inside the cells increases.
2. Regenerative. Hepatic metabolism is stimulated, hepatocytes are restored.
3. Cholagogue and bile-forming. The disorders associated with the formation and outflow of bile are eliminated or become less pronounced.

5. Protective. The full functioning of the liver is restored, the condition of the ornan is improved, protection against negative internal and external influences is provided.
6. Anti-inflammatory. Inflammation in the liver is eliminated.

Solyanka is useful not only for the liver. The healing properties are manifested in the digestive, genitourinary and cardiovascular systems. Means based on it improve the condition of the whole organism and contribute to improving the quality of life.

The choleretic properties are due to the content of betaine and phytosterols, it is these substances that perform a protective function, preventing harmful effects on the liver cells.
