Nowadays, many patients refuse medications, since most of them cost a lot of money, and the effectiveness of treatment with them is not always high.
In this connection, we remember the long-forgotten but effective folk remedies of our ancient herbalists, created on the basis of natural herbal preparations.
Description of culture
The half-fallen grass belongs to the group of biennial plants. Her description:
- The bush rises up to 1.3-1.4 cm. It rests on a taproot, which has several branches. The length reaches 0.18 m, and the diameter is 6-7 mm. The root color is gray or white.
- It has strongly branching branches, creeping or erect green stems. Their diameter reaches 10 mm.
- The leaves of this herb have an elliptical or round shape and short petioles. Their length is 20 mm and width is about 15 mm.
- The flowers of the plant are inconspicuous, with a simple perianth of a whitish hue. They consist of 5 parts and are collected in long spikelets.

The herb is used in medicine; the stems and leaves contain various alkaloids, phenolic acids and other substances beneficial to humans. It is used to treat gynecological and other diseases.
Pol-Pala grass
Erva woolly can be wild and domesticated. For the purpose of healing, people use the second herbal type of plant, since the firewood growing in nature must first be rid of some components that are dangerous to people.
Grass grows on rocky and sandy soil. Erva tolerates lack of moisture and slight shading well. The grass is not afraid of the heat.
Note! In Russia, some farmers try to grow it in their gardens, but in this case the grass loses all its medicinal properties.
She can't stand cold weather. For example, spring night frosts. But wild erva grass resists fungal and bacterial infections well. Its cultural counterpart most often dies from viral infection or insect attack.
The grass is propagated by seeds. It is better to purchase seed from well-known manufacturers; they pre-treat the product, which simplifies the cultivation of grass.
First, seedlings are obtained from seeds, and then the plant is transferred to the garden bed. In Russian conditions, to obtain full-fledged medicinal herbs in a greenhouse, it is necessary to create conditions close to the subtropics.
Contraindications
There are few contraindications for the use of woolly erva. The main thing is the presence of osteoporosis, in which bone tissue has a low calcium content. For the same reason, half-palu should not be consumed by patients suffering from calcium metabolism disorders - hypoparathyroidism, renal osteodystrophy due to chronic renal failure, rickets. The plant should be used with caution by people prone to allergic reactions.
Since erva woolly has pronounced diuretic properties, it is prescribed with great caution to patients using medicinal diuretics.
Children under 12 years of age should not be treated with herbs in any form. Its active components may have a negative effect on the immature metabolism in the child’s body.

Collection and preparation of grass
Soleros grass: description, properties and application
To have a supply of herbs (it can be stored in dried form for about 3 years), you need to wait until autumn. It is during this period that the pala stops growing. And at the end of August flowers appear on it. Woolly erva is removed from the garden along with the roots. There is no need to pull the plant, it is better to dig it up. Then you need to wash the crop from lumps of earth. The stems are cut into pieces that will be convenient to store.
Dry grass
Dry the raw materials in a dry, well-ventilated area. Some farmers try to carry out this operation in an oven or stove. This is not recommended, since excess heat causes beneficial components to evaporate from the stem and leaves. The herb should be stored in a dry place where the rays of the sun do not penetrate.
A gardener who decides to grow erva must have a greenhouse. If you simply plant seedlings in the garden, due to insufficient temperature and air humidity, the weed will not acquire the necessary medicinal elements. Therefore, you need to follow all the advice of experts on growing subtropical plants in the climatic conditions of Russia.
