Since ancient times, people have believed in the miraculous powers of plants. Some of their beneficial properties are now being scientifically proven. However, there are still many secrets and mysteries hidden in trees, flowers and herbs. Here are some interesting and incredible facts about plants
Our ancestors - the Slavs, before plucking a plant or cutting down a tree, always asked for forgiveness from them. And we were right, because it turns out that plants can … feel. In 1966, the American scientist Cleve Baxter, attaching sensors to his favorite flower, dracaena, made a discovery: plants are capable of showing emotions and even experiencing. American experts have proven that plants not only recognize the people who care for them (this was also determined by the connected sensors), but also have musical preferences.
Thanks to the plants, which were the only "witnesses" to the murder, they were once able to solve a serious crime! Having attached sensors to the flower, the suspects were invited to the office with him in turn. And when the criminal entered, the devices recorded a real hysteria in the plant.
To plants - with love
It is very important to collect plants for medicinal purposes with love, to talk to them. In ancient times, people believed that although flowers and herbs do not understand human words, they know how to feel them. When collecting plants, people asked for help, explained why they needed them. If you just pluck a plant abruptly, it will perceive it as aggression, an attack of pests. And then a person can receive, in addition to medicinal properties, the poisonous substances of this plant.
• Nettle is the most capricious of wild-growing herbs. When preparing, it requires a particularly respectful attitude towards itself. Like trees, nettles have a collective intelligence and rarely grow alone. Tearing it off for medicinal purposes, according to the advice of the ancients, try not to hurt her, otherwise, even being torn off, she will try to burn you, and her “neighbors” will also add. But this plant knows how to be grateful and, with gentle handling, stops stinging.
• Of indoor plants, geranium and ficus have the most complex characters. Geranium needs attention and love, otherwise it withers. Ficus also loves increased attention. He can be jealous of other plants, and sometimes of the household. In this case, in a room with a ficus, a person may experience a migraine. If the owners take care of the ficus like a child, it releases substances that normalize the hormonal background: irritable people become calmer, more confident, and childless children are born.
Memory of trees
What is the use of these almost fantastic, but all the same, facts? And the point is that from the information transmitted by plants in their own language, a person can receive useful information. So trees, flowers, herbs can communicate with each other in the language of smells and subtle vibrations. Many people like the smell of a freshly cut lawn. But for other plants, this is a distress signal - and they may suffer the same fate. Therefore, there is even a version that relaxing on a freshly mown meadow is unhealthy.
From time to time, people who simply cannot be in the forest turn to doctors: they feel very bad there. Scientists conducted a study of several such cases and found that all subjects had ancestors … lumberjacks. The fact is that the forest has a collective consciousness, perceiving itself as a single tree. Accordingly, he perceives people in the same way - not as a separate person, but as one kind of a specific person. And if there were lumberjacks in the family, the forest, perhaps, perceives it as a pest, starting to emit toxic substances. To believe in such mysticism or not - everyone decides for himself.
From aspen to birch
If in ancient times a person had difficulties in life, feelings of loss of strength, health problems, he approached the aspen, hugged her and stood there for several minutes, trying to give her all his difficulties and illnesses. Aspen is considered an energy vampire who takes away all the bad. Therefore, someone's negative emotions are like vitamins for her. But after the aspen, people believed that it was imperative to hug the birch and stand with it for at least half an hour. This tree, if asked, is able to endow a person with fresh strength and positive energy.
