Among the huge army of green healers there is one amazing grass. It is called horse sorrel. Pay attention to it, not only healers, but also culinary specialists. In the spring, when the green grass just breaks out from under the layers of last year's foliage, often on the roadside and under the bushes you can see rosettes of leaves that look like horseradish or sorrel leaves, only a few large in size. This is horse sorrel.

At the beginning of spring, the shooter with sweets-flowers does not yet have him, and the leaves are soft and fresh. They taste not acidic, but it happens, a little bitter. At this time, they are torn for the preparation of vitamin salads and cabbage soup. To remove the bitterness, the leaves are covered with boiling water. Salads with the addition of horse sorrel leaves are very useful, especially in early spring, when our body lacks vitamins. In the composition of sorrel there are calcium oxalate, flavonoids, ascorbic acid, carotene.

When the horse sorrel begins to blossom, people do not use it for food. During this period, it can be given as lure to small livestock and poultry.

With a curative purpose, the plant is harvested in the autumn, when the flower-pellets will dry on the root and turn brown. Medics use all parts of this wonder-grass, because, in addition to leaves, vitamins and nutrients are found in the fruits of the plant, and in its roots there are more tannins than in the rhubarb. In general, the whole plant has antibacterial properties, which makes it possible to use it even in the treatment of diseases such as dysentery.

During harvesting, the horse sorrel bushes are excavated from the ground, the leaves and inflorescences are separated from the rhizome, which is thoroughly washed from the mud and spread out to dry.

This plant was used for medical purposes by Avicenna. He treated the tooth decongestion and infusions of this herb with toothache, scabies, lichen, tumors, diarrhea, advised to use when poisonous snakes bite.

In our time, horse sorrel is used more widely. They treat many diseases of the stomach, including ulcers, expel worms, use in the treatment of hypertension, hemorrhoids, cholecystitis. In the treatment of diarrhea, it should be remembered that the hardening effect is most of all the dry seeds of the plant, if used in small doses. In large - the opposite effect is obtained. In addition, decoctions of plant roots are used for baths in the treatment of skin diseases. Kashitsu from powdered dry roots of sorrel and milk is applied to the wounds for their speedy healing.
