Good afternoon, my reader, the arrival of spring for many people suffering from serious illnesses is associated with a seasonal exacerbation of long-forgotten diseases, and in order to cope with them, today I will tell you about what a wonderful helper - the herb erva woolly - the healing and harmful properties of which have been known for a long time times, appeared as a life-saving remedy in our numerous pharmacies.
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.
Useful properties of woolly erva
The herb contains a large number of medicinal substances that help cope with a wide range of painful conditions.
- Kidney diseases. The plant helps with pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis. The effect is achieved by bacteriostatic action. Diuretic properties normalize the filtration function of the kidneys and eliminate swelling. Erva woolly dissolves kidney stones of low density and also promotes their removal.
- Gout, urate stones. The disease disrupts the metabolism of uric acid in the body, as a result its crystals appear in the form of urate sand or stones in the kidneys and joint capsules. Erva woolly allows not only to restrain the formation of urate stones, but also to quickly remove acid from the blood.
- Prostatitis. Frequent among the male population, the disease can attack at any age. The cause, as a rule, is hormonal problems, as well as infections, impaired blood supply to the pelvic organs, and, as a result, serious inflammatory processes in the tissues of the gland, spreading to the urethra. Erva woolly, having extraordinary antiseptic qualities, successfully fights inflammation.
- Diseases of the female sphere. Among women, inflammation of the uterine appendages is as common as prostatitis in men. The anti-inflammatory properties of the plant help solve the problem. The herb, having the ability to restore normal hormonal balance, helps restore the normal menstrual cycle. It has also found application in gynecology as an antitumor agent. Douching and external washing with preparations containing Erva woolis are used in the treatment of vaginitis and vulvitis.
- Bladder diseases. When getting rid of cystitis, the combination of anti-inflammatory and diuretic components that Erva woolly has is highly valued. For urolithiasis, the herb provides effective help thanks to rhamnetin, which has strong diuretic properties, and various alkaloids and flavonoids that cope with inflammation. Medical science has not yet settled the question of what leads to the formation of stones in various organs, but it is clear that pathology must be fought, and the help provided by Erva woolly is obvious and indisputable.
- Hypertension. Thanks to its diuretic and anti-inflammatory effect, erva woolly makes it possible to lower blood pressure.
- Diabetes. The plant does not cancel insulin compensation, but has a positive effect on the activity of the endocrine system. In type 2 diabetes, it helps eliminate insulin resistance, helps the pancreas produce insulin, and reduces the risk of complications.
- Skin diseases. Decoctions and infusions, accelerating metabolic processes, are used as cosmetics. They actively help improve skin condition, strengthen nails and hair. External use of half-palm gives good results in eliminating acne, skin ulcers, and boils.
Half-Fal in losing weight
Erva woolly is recommended as part of a set of measures necessary for weight loss. Its composition makes it possible to maintain the normal state of the body in case of a lack of nutrients and microelements. The diuretic properties of the plant help rid the body of excess water and thereby lose a couple of kilograms.
By the way, Russian scientists noticed that in Sri Lanka, where Erva woolly is widespread, there are much fewer cancer patients than in most countries of the world. Now in our country there is an active study of the plant’s capabilities in the fight against a terrible disease.
What kind of Pol-Pala grass is this?
Erva woolly (Pol-Pala) - from the Amaranth family, was brought from the tropical island of Ceylon to the European continent. Until now, in the field of medicine, its first name is most often used, leaving the second to botanists. Currently, woolly erva is successfully cultivated in Russia.
In 1992, half the plant was added to the official register of medicinal plants of the country. Instructions for its use are approved by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.
Pol-palu is valued not for its beauty, but for its unique healing qualities. The composition of woolly erva allows it to be used effectively for many diseases.
Erva woolly has the following properties:

- Stone-dissolving.
- Choleretic.
- Salt-removing.
- Anti-inflammatory.
- Antiseptic.
- Wound healing.
- General strengthening.
- Hypoazotemic (reducing the amount of ammonia in the blood).
Despite the diuretic effect, it maintains a normal electrolyte balance of potassium and is excreted from the body in very limited quantities. In this regard, an analogy can be drawn with the effect of modern potassium-sparing diuretics.
This biennial plant cannot boast of any special decorative properties. It has a long, up to 140 cm, actively branching stem, which can be either erect or spread along the ground. In July, small, unremarkable white or greenish flowers appear, grouped in spike-shaped inflorescences. Blooms before the onset of cold weather.
