Knotweed grass (knotweed)
Medicinal properties, application, treatment. Green knotweed (knotweed) is extremely famous in folk medicine. Preparations from this plant have different pharmacological properties – diuretic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, astringent, diaphoretic, antipyretic, wound-healing, blood purifying, tonic, restorative, analgesic. They also reduce the permeability of the walls of blood vessels (the action of flavonoids, silicon compounds, tannins), and increase blood clotting. increase diuresis, cleanse the remaining sodium and chlorine ions with urine, which helps to double filtration in the renal glomeruli and reduce reverse resorption in the renal tubules. The presence of knotweed interferes with the enlightenment of urinary stones (the action of silicic acid compounds), which are excreted in significant concentrations in the urine.
Tanning substances with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and astringent properties certainly affect the function of the gastrointestinal tract. In scientific medicine, knotweed is associated with the presence of chronic diseases of the urinary circulation, a decrease in the filtration function of the kidneys and the appearance in the urine of a large number of mineral essences (mainly oxalic acid essences), the presence of gastroenteritis, diarrhea of various etiologies, dysentery, liver diseases with functional failure, the presence of a delay in the body of toxic metabolic agents.
An infusion of knotweed ant is effective in the treatment of iron deficiency and secondary anemia associated with juvenile uterine bleeding, as well as bleeding during the postpartum period and subsequent abortion. In folk medicine, this plant has a wider range of uses: – as an astringent, hypotensive, hemostatic, in some cases for hemorrhoidal and uterine bleeding, as a vitamin supplement. Used for the treatment of polyarthritis associated with impaired salt metabolism, gout, obesity, tuberculosis, dysentery, stomach and duodenal ulcers, diseases of the pancreas, urolithiasis and cholelithiasis, malaria, various tumors, bronchitis, pleurisy, cough, fever, acne, furunculosis, dermatitis, presence of angry powerlessness. In Tibetan medicine, the presence of serous arthritis, bleeding, and septicopyemia is adjusted.

An annual herbaceous plant of the Buckwheat family, with erect or recumbent, deeply branched stems 15 – 25 cm long, sometimes up to 50 cm (the total length of all branches of a developed plant can reach 80 meters or more) with deeply pronounced nodes. The stems become thick after flowering. The origin of knotweed is weakly branched, taproot. The leaves are alternate, sessile, insignificant, 0. 5 to 3 cm long, broadly elliptical, short-petiolate, grayish-green Medicinal properties, application, treatment.
