It has been established that the more a person ennobles wild plants in order to turn them into more decorative creatures, the less healing power that the Creator put in the plant world of the Earth ball remains in them. Similar transformations took place with the unpretentious Marigold, flaunting in flower beds with large baskets-inflorescences of various colors. Therefore, traditional healers for the manufacture of potions collect wild daisies, or those that appear in the garden on their own, and not under the careful tutelage of flower growers
Stunted and unpretentious
Official medicine does not honor wild-growing Daisies with its attention, but in homeopathy and in folk medicine, the plant is very much appreciated. Under natural conditions, daisies grow on European lands, trying to settle closer to human habitation. They can be seen on roadsides, in parks and suburban groves, in forest glades and damp meadows. You can find feral daisies in your own garden, which is not closely cared for.
A perennial plant is very unpretentious to the conditions of life. However, it prefers soils rich in humus, on which it grows rapidly, covering the ground with light green rosettes of basal leaves in its first year of appearance. A bare stem, crowned with a single inflorescence-basket, appears the next year, proudly towering over a rosette of leaves spread over the surface of the earth. Unlike the varieties bred by man, the wild Daisy uses, as a rule, only three colors for decoration: white and pink, with which the edge female petals are painted, and yellow, which turns the traditional center of the inflorescence of hermaphrodite tubular flowers into a small earthly sun. Flat and small seeds are the end of the Daisy's growing cycle.
The unpretentiousness of the Daisy is expressed in its ability to grow successfully both in a sunny place and in partial shade of taller plants. After all, the height of Marigold herself varies from ten to thirty centimeters. The plant reproduces well by self-seeding, which allows the Daisy to "run wild" if it does not interfere with the development of its decorative neighbors, and therefore summer residents do not enter into duels with undersized bushes, as, for example, with a relative of Daisy in the Astrov family, golden and fragrant Dandelion. By the way, if Daisy nevertheless settled where she violates the harmony of the flower garden, conceived by the summer resident, the plant, even in the flowering stage, can be safely transplanted to another place, which not every miracle of nature, closely guarded by man, will endure.
Healing abilities
Folk observations show that the Daisies have the greatest healing power, the collection of which is carried out during the celebration of the Day of Ivan Kupala. This year, the Russians celebrated a pagan holiday from the evening of July 6th to the evening of July 7th. Who did not manage to combine the celebration of Ivan Kupala with the collection of medicinal raw materials of Daisy, do not be discouraged. In principle, the healing powers in the leaves, stems and flowers of the plant are present throughout the entire flowering period of wild or feral Daisies, which lasts from spring to late summer.
From the herb of the plant, dried in the shade of a ventilated room, healing infusions and teas are prepared, which have a lot of advantages. They stimulate the general metabolism in the human body, helping all organs to work harmoniously and clearly. Medicinal drugs from Marigold act as an anti-inflammatory, choleretic, diuretic, expectorant, hemostatic agent.
Herbal infusions relieve attacks of bronchial asthma, soften coughs, fight boils and acne. Daisy herb tea improves appetite, coughs and skin diseases.
Daisy herb can be used in combination with other wild plants. For example, tea from the commonwealth of herbs Daisies and Violets tricolor wash sore skin.
Delicate spring leaves of Daisy will make a wonderful company with the leaves of Spring Primrose and Dandelion in a vitamin salad, when the new harvest of vegetables is still far away.
