Nothing to say, some plants living at home do not have a decorative aesthetic appearance at all. But the benefits are in "I eat an agromous volume")). Take for example …

… Indian bow

Or its other name is the tailed poultry garden of the lily family. It is also known among many peoples as a Chinese or Mongolian bow, as well as a hellish root or root. Actually, this plant "came" to us from South America. It is not clear why he is still Mongolian or Chinese.

In appearance, such a "onion" has long, straight, narrow leaves, sometimes reaching a meter in length. Due to their narrowness and length, onion leaves often break and hang, and their tips dry quickly at the same time. The bulbs have a thick neck and a lot of scales. Under them there are "babies" of the plant. There are a lot of them. The root system of an onion grows quickly in a pot.

When the onion is in bloom, it produces a large arrow with a flower of many light-colored inflorescences. There are several types of such an onion (in the form of an umbrella flowering, pyramidal). They all have healing powers.

How to plant and propagate it?

Please note that it is necessary to plant this type of plant in the ground without completely burying its bulb. You can't even do it halfway. Only the root of the onion should be in the soil. "Daughters" under the scales of the onion will sprout anywhere and in any way. They are also stored for a long time. And as soon as they get into the moistened soil, they immediately germinate. That is, the plant can be propagated not only by the bulb, but also by its “daughters”.

Indian onion seeds are also on sale. Buy the diameter of the container for planting the bulb 5-6 cm more than the diameter of the bulb itself.

The onion lives and bears fruit for a long time, it can live in the house for up to ten years and not lose its useful qualities as a healer. Onion care is not difficult at the same time. Provide him with a bright place on the windowsill, timely watering and recharge, cleansing of multiple "children" and he will grow and grow in your home greenhouse.

Medicinal possibilities

Its first incredible medicinal quality is its juice and special mucus in the juice. The juice is very hot. They can be rubbed with rheumatism, osteochondrosis, lumbago. On the road or at home. And the plant sap will always help out its owner.

It is possible to rub with the juice of Indian onions the hard-working places on the body, hands, feet for people who are engaged in heavy physical labor. Arthritis, hematomas, bruises, bruises - all these problems are subject to treatment with plant juice.

Crushed leaves of the plant can be applied to itchy lips on the eve of herpes and "bursting bubbles" do not have to wait. And if the herpes has already appeared on the body, then the same leaves should be applied to it and it will quickly disappear.

With a cold, the smell of the leaves kills the germs in the mucous membrane. You can bury the juice diluted with water into the nose, lubricate the sore throat with the diluted composition. But this is far from all the possibilities of this cute unsightly indoor flower. If your head hurts, you need to rub juice on the part of it that hurts or apply crushed leaves of a plant wrapped in gauze.

Lumps under the skin - you can also try to treat them with the leaves of the plant. But if they do not go away, and even more painful, it is better to visit a dermatologist to find out the nature of this problem and its elimination with medication.

If a wasp or bee has bitten, remove the sting from this place, wipe the bite with a disinfectant and immediately apply onion greens or a tampon dipped in its juice so that swelling does not develop at the site of the bite.

Rheumatic diseases, bruises and bruises after injuries are treated with alcohol tincture, or rather a compress from it. And making the tincture is not difficult. The onion leaves must be crushed and filled with vodka or alcohol. The contents should stand for a couple of weeks in a dark place. Then it is filtered, poured into a bottle and stored in the cold.

Contraindications and features of the use of plant juice

When using this plant for medicinal purposes, you should be especially careful for skin allergies, since we have already said that its juice is too hot and can cause skin burns. In no case should you drip it into your eyes, drink it in its pure form. If there are severe burns on the body or mucous membranes from improper use of juice - urgently seek official medicine for help and advice.
