Badan thick-leaved (lat. Vergenia crassifolia) - medicinal plant; a representative of the Badan genus of a large family Saxifrage. Often this type is called Mongolian tea, thick-leaved saxifrage, early-flowered and Chagyr tea. It is a type species of the genus. In nature, it is found in the Altai Territory, the Republic of Buryatia, Primorsky Territory, China, Korea, Kazakhstan and, of course, Mongolia. Typical habitats are mountain slopes, rocky areas, talus, as well as cedar, coniferous and deciduous forests.
Characteristics of culture
Badan thick-leaved is represented by herbaceous plants up to half a meter in height, endowed with a creeping, highly branched, thickened, fleshy rhizome, which forms a large number of root lobes during growth. The stem of the culture under consideration is rather thick, without pubescence, red-pink color, bears basal foliage collected in a rosette.
The foliage, in turn, is dark green, round or broadly oval, leathery, very large, equipped with a membranous sheath. At the base, the foliage has a heart-shaped shape, less often round, serrated along the edges, does not exceed 35 cm in length, not more than 30 cm in width, sits on petioles. On the outside, the leaves have a distinct shine, no pubescence in the form of hairs.
Flowers of regular shape, small size, not equipped with bracts, collected in corymbose inflorescence, formed on red pedicels without bracts. The calyx has a bell-shaped shape, the petals can be wide or oval-ovate, always endowed with a small nail, the color is either pink or lilac with a red undertone.
The fruit is represented by a dry elliptical capsule, equipped with two lobes, which diverge when ripe. It contains a huge number of smooth, oblong and black seeds. The bloom of thick-leaved bergenia is observed in late spring - early summer and lasts until foliage appears. The boxes, and therefore the seeds, ripen in the middle of summer, usually in the third decade of July.
Common varieties
Currently, several varieties of thick-leaved bergenia are presented on the garden market, but the variety referred to as Hidenuspe has won special attention of gardeners. It is characterized by medium growth and small flowers of a pale pink color, which, in turn, are collected in large inflorescences. This variety is classified as early and long-flowering, it pleases with abundant flowering from mid - late April to late May - early July.
It is impossible not to mention the variety called Senior. It is famous for its short stature, large smooth foliage and purple flowers with a pink tint. Its flowering does not exceed one and a half months, but in any case, this variety is a true decoration of the garden, which can easily compete even with exotic plants. It should be noted that both varieties are used only in ornamental gardening and floriculture. They are not used for medicinal purposes.
Application in medicine
Due to the fact that thick-leaved berry is famous for its unique composition (the substances contained in it are required to maintain human health), the plant is actively used in folk medicine. The root and foliage of the culture acts as a medicinal raw material, but the former is endowed with most of the important components, which are only tannins and tannins.
Infusions and decoctions from them boast anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. They are recommended for the treatment of flu, colds, diseases of the upper respiratory tract, including as a gargle for angina. Useful infusions and decoctions from roots and foliage with increased pressure, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, headaches and purely female diseases, for example, inflammation of the appendages.
