Male cones of Russian larch are oval in shape, they are solitary, their formation occurs on annuals or on older ordered shoots, and are pale yellow in color. The female cones of this plant will also be oval in shape, they are reddish in color, and are located on leafy short shoots. Mature cones of this plant will be ovoid, they ripen already in the first year of the plant's life, but they will stay on the tree for quite a long time, even after snow falls.
Under natural conditions, this plant is found in the north of the European part of Russia and in Siberia. It is noteworthy that local species of this plant grow in the Far East, and besides this, Russian larch is also bred in urban plantings.
Description of the medicinal properties of Russian larch
Russian larch is endowed with very valuable healing properties, while for medicinal purposes it is recommended to use young shoots, leaves, essential oil or turpentine of this plant.
The presence of such valuable medicinal properties of this plant should be explained by the content of ascorbic acid and essential oil in the composition of this plant, which will consist of borneol, bornyl acetate and pinene. The bark of this plant contains tannins and turpentine. Such turpentine will be used as an external distraction and irritant for neuralgia, gout, myositis and rheumatism. In addition, such funds are used for gangrene of the lungs, bronchitis, abscesses, catarrh of the upper respiratory tract, and in addition, sometimes inhalation of turpentine is also used as a very effective antimicrobial agent.

It should be noted that the needles of Russian larch can be harvested throughout the summer period of time, however, the most effective use of such funds is in the period from the end of June to the end of August.
