Yellow toadflax - Linaria vulgaris - Льнянка обыкновенная -#ccc

This plant in Russian has more than 50 titles. I lost count, somewhere on the 54th title. They are almost impossible to translate exactly into English, in view of the fact that they are in a caressing mood and in the combination of slang words. Some of them we try to list, it's a shoemaker, tears of a cuckoo, blood of a hare, a traveler, fly agaric, female flax, cow butter, wild flax, ass, forgive this word, but, as the saying goes, one word can not be dropped from the song, and many other names.

It seems that everyone who found this plant Linaria vulgaris, imagined it differently.

Usually I see single bushes of this plant. I did not see any thickets. On the one hand, we can say that this plant is quite rare, but on the other hand, almost on each meadow one can see one or two stems of this plant.

I can not say that the appearance of this plant causes a desire to tear it for a bouquet. Perhaps this allows you to save the population of this plant.

But, this is my experience and my impressions. In view of the fact that this plant is widely used in folk medicine, there may be whole plantations of this plant, but I have not yet met them.

Hemorrhoids, constipation, jaundice, liver and bladder diseases, these are the main ailments with which this plant successfully fights. Medicines are prepared in the form of water and alcohol tinctures. It should be noted that the helminths pack their suitcases and flee from your body when they meet with the extracts of this plant.

When using this plant as a medicine, not everything is unambiguous. By itself, this plant is poisonous. It contains toxins. It is necessary to clearly understand the dosage. Usually these recipes are passed from grandfathers to children, and from children to grandchildren.

When it comes to a poisonous plant, you need to exercise great caution.

It is best to talk with a man who personally engaged in collecting herbs and preparing medicines for many years, and who has extensive experience in the preparation of herbal medicines.

Perhaps you are faced with the fact that not all recipes that are published on the Internet are absolutely accurate. I'm talking about recipes. Sometimes some moments, the author does not speak, or forgets to say. It can be a trifle, such as a temperature regime, and in the end, you do not get exactly such a product, as described in the recipe.

In the case of a culinary recipe, a failure, you can just take it with a smile. When it comes to a poisonous plant, failure can be very expensive.
