Golden mustache - medicinal properties and contraindications

Venus hair, home ginseng, golden mustache - as soon as the people do not call fragrant Kallisia! The plant came to our country from the moist forests of southern Mexico at the beginning of the 19th century thanks to the founder of the Botanical Garden in Batumi, A. N. Krasnov. Despite the fact that the alternative medicine uses the qualities of this plant to treat almost 400 diseases and pathological conditions, there are no materials for the scientific study of the healing properties and contraindications of the golden mustache. Even Wikipedia says that the healing properties of Callisia fragrans Wood. not confirmed and "very doubtful."

Golden mustache - medicinal properties, composition

Today, in the wake of interest in medicines from natural raw materials, scientists began to research what heals and what the Golden mustache, popular among the people, but unnoticed by science, consists of.

At the end of the 20th century, the following were revealed in the juice of this plant:

• phospholipids represented by palmitic, linoleic, oleic and linolenic acids;
• carotenoids;
• chlorophylls (a and b, phytol);
• vitamin C;
• anthocyanins.

With the introduction of innovative chromatography methods into scientific research, new bioactive substances were discovered in the juice of leaves and mustaches of plants. The supplemented composition of Kallizia is presented in the table:

Experiments conducted on laboratory animals proved that the fragrant Kallizia juices possess the following properties:

• stress-resistant (protects against the effects of stress);
• immunomodulatory;
• regenerating and repairing;
• antimicrobial;
• painkillers;
• anti-inflammatory;
• hepatoprotective;
• actoprotective (substances increase the body's resistance to physical activity).

And in addition, the Golden mustache has an antioxidant effect and is able to neutralize:

• nitrogen monoxide (NO), which is involved in the formation of pain and inflammation;
• ferrous ions (Fe2 +) in the presence of which free radicals can enter into reactions, forming extremely “aggressive” hydroxy radicals;

• superoxide radical O2-.

The industry produces cosmetic and therapeutic products based on Kallizia extract:

• body balms and gels with ant alcohol, with saber, with bee venom, with bodysuit;
• Esobel cream with Kallizia extract;
• ginkgo foot balm;

However, only recently have scientists conducted a study of the anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties of a plant. Callisia's alcohol and water infusion reduced body temperature by 1.1% (for comparison, Diclofenac lowered it by 0.8%).

At the beginning of the last century, American and Canadian researchers, as part of a study of the pharmacological properties of indigenous plants in Latin America, found that fragrant Kallisia has long been used by Indians to treat skin lesions.

Also, the plant was used in the treatment of inflammation and pain in the joints.
