Orange wildflower. Meadow flowers: photo, description, rules for collecting and harvesting. The beauty and benefits of the Russian land - meadow and wildflowers
Celandine got its name for its ability to effectively treat various skin diseases. This is also evidenced by its popular names - warthog, warthog, chistets. The scientific name of the plant is “great celandine” (Chelidonium Major). Finding celandine is not difficult. This is a perennial plant with a tall (50–100 cm) branched stem covered with short hairs, medium-sized petiolate leaves and small golden-yellow flowers collected in umbellate inflorescences. When the stem is broken, dark yellow or orange-red juice is released.
The high healing properties of celandine are due to the fact that it contains significant amounts of alkaloids, vitamins, organic acids, flavonoids, carotene, saponins, bitterness, essential oils, and resinous substances. Preparations from celandine have pronounced anti-inflammatory, wound-healing, antimicrobial, antipruritic, cauterizing, local anesthetic, analgesic, choleretic, antispasmodic, and hypotensive effects.
Do not forget that celandine is a plant poisonous. When used externally, it is difficult to get poisoned, but with excessive ingestion, intestinal dysbiosis is possible, and in the worst case, poisoning, expressed in nausea, extreme thirst, convulsions, decreased blood pressure, slow pulse and even fainting. In this case, it is necessary to immediately rinse the stomach, followed by plenty of fluids and activated charcoal. As a rule, after this, the symptoms of poisoning disappear quickly and without consequences.
Traditionally, celandine juice was used to treat diseases. Pure juice treats various irritations and skin diseases, burns, including sunburn, wounds, abscesses, boils, herpes, scabies, cracks on the hands and heels, removes freckles, warts, papillomas, and dry calluses. You can also use crushed fresh leaves for this.
In many cases, the juice is used diluted in various proportions. Polyps, adenoids, tonsils, and gum inflammation are treated with such solutions. For the same purposes, you can use infusions and decoctions of celandine. It's not difficult to prepare them. There are many different recipes, one of the simplest is a tablespoon of dried herbs or two fresh herbs per glass of water. If you pour boiling water and leave for 1.5-2 hours, you get an infusion, and if you boil for 10-15 minutes over low heat or in a water bath, you get a decoction. They are used for rinsing, compresses and lotions.
Celandine ointment is used to treat skin diseases. It's not difficult to prepare. Dried grass powder is mixed in a 1:1 ratio with heated badger fat, rendered lard or butter, and Vaseline. This ointment keeps well in the refrigerator and is always ready for use.
Diluted juice, decoctions and infusions of celandine are taken orally to treat many serious diseases. I won’t give recipes; if you wish, you can find them in reference books or on the Internet. Please note that juice is usually taken no more than 5-7 drops, and infusions and decoctions, depending on consistency, up to three tablespoons. On the Internet you can find recommendations to use tablespoons of pure celandine juice for some diseases. I would not recommend conducting such experiments on yourself.
For the treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, bladder, liver and kidneys, celandine has been used since ancient times, and in many countries. Previously, in Russian villages, celandine was used to treat kidney problems (hemorrhoids) and polyps in the large intestine. The diluted juice or infusion was taken orally, enemas were given, and external nodes were lubricated with the juice.
Modern medicine confirms that the substances contained in celandine slow down the development of cancer cells. Naturally, it is impossible to cure advanced cancer with celandine, but in the initial stages or after surgery, to prevent the development of metastases, it can be used along with medications; moreover, it acts as a mild pain reliever. Celandine is more effective in the treatment of skin cancer.
Most often, the juice obtained from the stems and leaves of celandine is used for medicinal purposes. It is believed that it is better to prepare fresh juice in May-July, when the plant contains the most useful substances. To do this, plant stems are cut at least 10 cm from the ground, crushed using a meat grinder or other device, squeezed and, adding 250 ml of alcohol or 500 ml of vodka per liter of juice, stored in a dark, cool place. Previously, in villages, fresh celandine juice was stored in tightly closed containers in ice cellars at a temperature of about 0 degrees. But first the juice was allowed to ferment for 5-7 days at room temperature.
In addition, celandine can be dried (it is better to use leaves and flowers for this) so that it can be used as needed to prepare infusions, tinctures, decoctions or ointments. Recently, dried herbs and preparations from celandine have appeared in pharmacies. On the Internet I came across recommendations for preparing preparations from celandine seeds. I have doubts about them, because by autumn the beneficial properties of the plant decrease.
Preparation of medicinal preparations
Decoction
The decoction is prepared as follows: the raw materials are placed in an enamel bowl, filled with cold water, brought to a boil over low heat and kept on the fire for some time. The duration of this, as well as the proportions of water and raw materials, depend on the specific case.
The decoction should be filtered, squeezing the herb well.
A decoction of celandine herb has a bactericidal, sedative, choleretic, diuretic, antispasmodic, and anesthetic effect. It can be used for peptic ulcers and cholelithiasis, spasms of the pylorus of the duodenum, digestive tract and gall bladder, for renal colic, and for diseases of the bladder.
Juice is one of the most effective remedies obtained from celandine, because all the power of the miraculous plant is concentrated in it. During the flowering period of celandine, collect leaves and stems (roots can also be used) and pass them through a meat grinder. Place in a glass container and refrigerate for several days (this is necessary for the celandine to release juice). Usually three days is enough. Then squeeze the herb through cheesecloth. A bucket of grass produces 1 – 1.5 liters of juice.
After some time after preparing the juice, it begins to ferment, so do not forget to release the air from the container. After 2 - 3 weeks, fermentation will end.
Juice prepared in this way can be stored in the refrigerator for several years.
Celandine oil
Celandine oil is a drug that is used mainly for external use.
Take dry herb, chop it, place it in a glass container and fill it with oil (so that the oil level is 2 - 3 cm higher than the level of the grass). It is advisable to use peach or apricot oil, but ordinary vegetable oil will also work. But before use, vegetable oil needs to be heated in a water bath for 1 – 2 hours.
Place the herb oil in a warm place for 30 to 60 minutes, then transfer to a cool, dark place for a week. Do not forget to shake the drug periodically. After 7 days, when it is ready, strain it through cheesecloth, add pure oil (1:1 ratio) and store it in a dark glass container.
Infusion of celandine
Preparation of celandine infusion. Celandine is used in the form of an infusion because of its bactericidal effect and ability to inhibit the growth of certain fungi and even malignant tumors. This is primarily due to the fact that celandine contains a large amount of alkaloids.
The infusion can be water or alcohol.
The best way to prepare an aqueous infusion of celandine is to take the amount of herb prescribed in the recipe, pour boiling water over it and heat in a steam bath for 15 minutes. Then cool well and strain. It would be a good idea to let the product sit before straining. You can completely skip the steam bath; just boiling water is enough. But in this case it is advisable to increase the infusion time. It is good to infuse celandine in a thermos.
An infusion of celandine can also be prepared with vodka. To do this, take the grass (fresh or dried), fill half a half-liter bottle or jar with it and fill it with vodka. Let it brew for two weeks. After this, the resulting tincture must be diluted at the rate of 150 ml of tincture per 350 ml of pure vodka. Take three times a day before meals. Remember that the tincture is very strong, and therefore if you need to take it orally, start with the smallest dose (5 - 10 drops), gradually increasing it by 10 drops every week.
The difference between a water infusion and an alcohol infusion is that the water infusion is much weaker. The main reason is that water dissolves only the salts of alkaloids, which are found in abundance in celandine, and alcohol dissolves the alkaloids themselves. Therefore, the alcohol solution will be much stronger and more effective.
However, the water infusion has one – and extremely important – advantage: it is less dangerous than the alcohol infusion. So in the vast majority of cases, in order to avoid poisoning, the use of water infusion should be clearly recommended. And the use of an alcoholic infusion of celandine is justified only in cases where the possible harm is less than the benefit it can bring. Even with cancer, when a person is ready to use any means and, due to the criticality of the situation, it would seem that God himself ordered the use of an alcohol infusion, it would be useful to think about the general exhaustion of the body, for which any “blow” is dangerous.
Ointment with celandine
Ointment with celandine is prepared with Vaseline, lanolin, pork or lamb fat. You can also use ordinary baby cream as a base. To obtain the ointment, it is better to use either celandine juice or dried grass, which is first ground very well (it is advisable to use a coffee grinder). The proportions in which the components are mixed depend on the specific case, the specific disease. However, the usual ratios are 1 part chopped herb and 2 parts base mass. Fresh juice is mixed with the base in a ratio of 1:4.
To prevent the ointment from molding, carbolic acid (0.25%) is added to it.
Wildflowers- this is its own special type of flowers, easy to care for. They do not cause everyone such delight as, for example, roses. But when you drive past a field dotted with poppies, daisies, cornflowers, etc., it is simply impossible to take your eyes off these simple, gentle and very beautiful wildflowers. After all, you just want to stop, get out of the car and run through this “cloud” of flowers. And the smell that comes from them makes it seem like you are in a fairy tale and forget about all your problems.
A long time ago, when people had not yet begun to improve plants, wildflowers were the best gift.
The girls wove gorgeous wreaths from these delicate flowers, and the good fellows collected bouquets of buttercups and daisies and gave them to the red-haired girls. There is some kind of historical romance in these flowers. After all, sometimes a nice little bouquet of cornflowers will make you feel much more than an armful of roses.
And how many daisies helped the girls in fortune-telling “likes or dislikes.” How sincerely children rejoice when they collect fading dandelions, sending millions of white little paratroopers into the wind.
Beauty is beauty, and how many medicinal plants are there among the wildflowers? Vivid representatives of this species: chamomile, bluebell, dog violet and many, many others.
Name of wildflowers a very large number, according to scientists, there are about five hundred thousand species, but only 290 of them are described.
Nowadays, it is very fashionable and practical to grow wildflowers in our garden beds.
- Firstly, they combine perfectly, and even add zest, with decorative flowers.
- And secondly, they practically do not require any care; they are accustomed to any natural elements.
The magic of wildflowers
Take, for example, the most common and most beautiful wildflower - cornflower. Cornflower is a symbol of holiness, purity, friendliness and politeness, boyish beauty and goodness. Cornflowers are a fragrant medicinal herb with blue flowers and a strong, persistent odor. When peasants bred them near their homes. Cornflowers had a wide ritual use - they were placed behind icons, decorated crosses in churches, blessed on Macovei (August 1), on the Savior (August 6). On Trinity Day, ritual wreaths were woven from cornflowers. According to ethnographers, the sacralization of this plant is associated with legends about the discovery of the Holy Cross. In the place where the Jews hid the cross of the Savior, a fragrant and healing herb grew, which in Ukraine was called “cornflowers”.
According to another legend, the plant received its name from St. Basil the Great, who allegedly loved flowers and greenery during his lifetime and always decorated his home with them. Wreaths of blessed cornflowers were placed on the heads of dead girls, and flowers were also placed in the coffin. Cornflowers were sometimes an attribute of wedding rituals; they were sprinkled on the newlyweds, and they were used to make a font for children in case of illness. They also symbolize the holiness, purity, and beauty of the beloved.

Wildflowers
At the beginning of July it is good to go on a summer hike in the hills along the banks of the river and take photos of wildflowers
The Dubna River in these parts has incredibly beautiful hilly banks.
Yellow egg pods are dozing on the river surface.
On the left bank of the Dubna River there is a spruce forest like an enchanted castle.
We need to somehow cross to the opposite bank of the Dubna River.
This is a great place. A strong current and rocks protruding from the water indicate the location of a ford.
We put the belongings in a hermetic bag.
We put on neoprene socks so as not to injure our feet on the stones, and we wander down the Dubna River, looking for a flat place on the opposite bank.
We climb out to the shore. There is an evil stinging nettle standing like a 2-meter wall.
There is nowhere to go. Let's go straight.
The thickets are like a jungle. So to speak, modest.
And when we got out into the open space, it was so good! The Dubna River makes bends.
Waist-deep, and sometimes shoulder-deep, we walk through tall grass and floodplain meadows to the village of Vaulino.
In the depths of my soul, some peasant gene yearns: how many cows could be grazed, how much hay could be prepared.
And the places around are beautiful, wonderfully beautiful. Maybe, . Clouds rise above the hills like snow-white mountains.
He climbed the hill and turned back to look at the valley of the Dubna River. Here they are, meadows, wild flowers.
Other wildflowers include oregano or forest mint. It has a special, fragrant smell.
Another masterpiece of wildflowers. In the center are pink marshmallow flowers.
Among the white clover, the lilac-blue petals of forest geranium look exquisite.
And you, brother poppy, how did you get involved in this company of Central Russian wildflowers?
On the village street of Vaulino, for some reason, a hiker was mistaken for a wealthy landowner-esquire. The foreman of the Armenian construction team, Dima, began to persuade him to build a house.
The firewood is lying around. In winter, heat the house and bathhouse.
There is a large reservoir on the western border of the village of Vaulino.
Here the tourists from Dmitrievsk packed their things into sealed bags and swam to the other side. Daredevils!
And land tourists went on foot to Trekhselishche.
We walk and admire the wildflowers.
Luxurious bouquet of wildflowers. Only it doesn’t stand in a vase, but grows in a field.
Interesting varieties of cornflowers.
Meadow cornflower.
Three-veined cornflower.
What catches the eye in these wildflowers is the yellow candles of black mullein.
The yellow and white tongues of the sweet clover blaze in the wind.
The angelica tree opened its white umbrellas.
I'm walking along the road. Cars with summer residents rush past. An old Ford truck loaded with boards is catching up. The driver is apparently a farmer.
- How far are you going? Sit down, I'll give you a ride!
Thank you, kind man. But I have to walk.
Views all around from the hills. Dali. It's like flying on an airplane.
From Trekhselishchi we head to Malye Dubravy.
The name justifies itself, there are oak trees growing all around.
Here among the wildflowers is a precious find, a blooming rosehip.
From Malye Dubrava we go along a forest road to the final destination of our summer hike - to the village of Zapolskoye.
More often than not, even the GPS signal is lost.
In the forest twilight, a young fireweed plays bunnies with the sun.
In Zapolskoe, local residents sell mushrooms and chanterelles.
The rain began to drizzle. Young entrepreneurs rushed to cover the furniture they had made and put up for sale.
And then the Dmitrievsk tourists showed up. Cheerful, cheerful.
Only the four-legged tourist was very tired. He came to a stop and collapsed on the asphalt. The fact that the dog is alive is evidenced by its rising and falling belly in time with its breathing.
Sergiev Posad greeted us with a bright and festive atmosphere. It celebrates the 700th anniversary of St. Sergius of Radonezh.
