Rowan, although not a herb, is a plant that also helps people with diabetes. Moreover, if the chokeberry uses fruits, then the ordinary mountain ash, which lights up in the autumn with a red brush, in the case of diabetes mellitus, flowers are used
Rowan ordinary or red
Rowan owes its generic name, "Sorbus aucuparia", to the Celts, who have left many touching and beautiful legends about themselves. One of the favorite pastimes of the people was bird catching. It looks like they used brightly fragrant rowan berries to bait birds, so the translation of the words sounds like "tart" plus "catch birds."
The unpretentious mountain ash grows on any soil, tolerates drought and frost, grows better in sunny places, but it also agrees on partial shade. Its sun fruits are not widely used in food because of their strong bitterness. But tireless breeders have developed varieties whose berries contain much less bitter components.
Bright rowan berries are natural multivitamins that you don't need to go to the pharmacy for. They are used to prepare syrups, jellies; make jam; make wines and infuse stronger alcoholic drinks.
In the rich list of useful components contained in rowan fruits, there are: sorbitol - sweet hexahydric alcohol, which is often used in dietary products as a sugar substitute; sorbose monosaccharide, which makes berries attractive for dietary nutrition of patients with diabetes mellitus.
With diabetes mellitus, they drink an infusion of dried flowers. One teaspoon of dried flowers is poured with a glass of boiling water, then boiled for just a minute. Allowing an hour for infusion, filter the infusion and drink it warm in a quarter of a glass before each meal.
Side effects:
The versatility of some herbs, possessing a mass of useful substances, imposes on their use and prohibitions precisely because of their multifunctionality. As the people say: "One heals, and the other immediately cripples."
So mountain ash has the ability to increase blood clotting. Therefore, for people who have increased blood clotting even without mountain ash, it is not suitable as a doctor, since it is a provocateur of blood clots.
Rowan black or black chokeberry
Rowan black-fruited is a fairly young plant in culture, she is only three hundred years old. It began to be used as a food and medicinal plant even later. Despite her youth, she has firmly taken its rightful place in our gardens.
Originally from North America, more precisely, its northeastern part, chokeberry has easily taken root in our climate, withstanding a wide range of temperatures. The plant prefers sunny places, fertile soil, rapidly growing root shoots.
Black chokeberry is very decorative throughout the summer season, and therefore will perfectly decorate any garden and even a flower garden. It makes excellent low screens, behind which you can hide outbuildings, as well as decorative and fruit-bearing hedges.
A real "storehouse" of vitamins and other substances useful for the human body are relatively large, black, juicy berries, collected in a decorative and appetizing brush. For patients with diabetes mellitus, the presence of sorbitol, a sweet substitute for sugar, is of greatest interest.
Berries retain their useful components until spring. They can be dried, frozen and kept fresh for up to two months in the refrigerator.
Fresh berries for two weeks are recommended to eat 50-100 grams, repeating this meal 3 times a day. It reduces problems with diabetes, allergies, rheumatism, hypertension and many other ailments.
Side effects:
Rowan is contraindicated in cases of increased blood clotting, hypotension (low blood pressure or decreased muscle tone), stomach ulcers and gastritis with high acidity.
