Modern pharmaceuticals are developing with each passing year more and more rapidly, and many modern analogues in the form of tablets, syrups and other drugs from the pharmacy have come to replace folk remedies. But all of them somehow contain extracts of medicinal plants.
Today we will talk about the marsh Sabelnik, which is widely used in the treatment of many diseases. We will tell where this plant can be found, how to properly collect it, under what diseases a sabel can be used and what storage conditions it needs.
Sabelnik marsh
This medicinal plant belongs to the family of Pink, looks like a low shrub, no higher than one meter in height. A sabelnik can "crawl" on the ground, since the peculiarities of its structure allow it to stretch both upwards and grow parallel to the soil.
The plant grows well - its stem has many branches that come off from the ground to half a meter in height. The color of the stem is predominantly saturated brick shade, or, as it is also called, red-brown.
The sabelnik leaves are oblong, elongated and with jagged edges. Interestingly, the color of the leaves depends on their location: those that are closer to the sun's rays, that is, higher, are colored green, but leaves close to the soil are radically different and have a reddish color. The reverse, seamy side, all the leaves close to gray. 
Did you know? Sabelnik marsh has many popular denominations. Often called a plant "five-leaf clover", "decode", "cinquefoil marsh", "fireflower ordinary", "raven sabelnik", "wolf body" or "wild raspberries". The most commonly named plant "marsh rose" because of its flowers or "Russian ginseng".We should also talk about the rhizome of the chenbella It is quite long, strong, and branched as well as the stem. At times, the root of a plant can stretch in a few meters, but often these branches are intertwined. Characteristically, its rhizome does not interfere with the growth of other plants.
It is possible to see how the sabelnik blossoms in the first two summer months. Flowers have an average size, their color, as a rule, is rich crimson. In shape, these flowers resemble an asterisk, since each flower has five petals. Sabelnik flowers are characterized by belonging to both sexes, as well as by the presence of an undermaw, which consists of five leaflets.
In the last summer month, fruits are formed, forming from the so-called nuts (they are also called bare seeds).
The name of the plant directly indicates the locality in which the sabelnik is most likely to meet. First of all, these are places with high soil moisture - the banks of rivers, lakes, and other water bodies.
Geographic location also plays a significant role, because the sabelnik prefers areas with a temperate climate, but in the northern regions of the country it’s quite problematic to see this plant with your own eyes.
Sabelnik can be grown on your site, using it in the decoration of the pond.
Collection and storage
In order to fully feel the healing power of the plant, you should follow certain rules, in particular, what part of the plant should be used, what time of year it should be collected and what to do to save the raw material.
As for the marsh rose, it has all the healing parts, the only difference is in the method of drying and the date of collection. So, for the rhizome of the cagel is best to go in March or November. You should not wait until the end of March to cut off the root, because at the time of flowering all the nutrients and trace elements enter the leaves, which is why the root becomes less useful.
In November, wait for the moment when all the leaves die off, then the vital juices will return again to the root system of the marsh rose and this part of the plant will become the most useful.
Important! When collecting rhizomes, it is necessary to choose parts younger, since only they have healing power. Pay attention to the color of young roots: their outer part is brown in color, and the inside is green. As a rule, their length is up to 50 cm.Older roots are characterized by black color, it is pointless to use them for treatment - they do not contain beneficial substances.
After you cut the required amount of root system, they need to be processed. First of all, the roots are thoroughly washed with water from the tap, after which they need to be cut into sticks, no longer than 3 cm. Only after that you can start drying the sabelnik.We advise you to do this on sunny days, since the prepared raw materials must be placed on the board so that the rays of the sun fall on it. It is important that the place where the sticks are dried is aired.
After a few days, check how well the sabelnik has dried. To do this, the stick must be broken. If it breaks down with a characteristic crash, then everything is in order and the roots can be removed. But bending sticks - a sign of insufficient drying.
Also, you can use the oven to dry the sabelnik - you can either complete the drying procedure or carry out it completely if you have collected the material in the fall and it is difficult to wait for the sun to get wet.
Important! In this case, observe the only rule: the temperature inside the oven should not exceed +40 ° C.As for the other useful part of the plant - shoots - then you need to come after them just in summer, because at this time of year this part develops as actively as possible, which means that nutrients circulate through it.
It is necessary to cut off the upper part and not to approach the soil, because there the humidity is too high, which means that the shoot can rot. Choose parts exclusively green, blooming.Drying shoots has its own characteristics. Placing them under ultraviolet light is not required. It will be sufficient to place the raw material on wooden sheets or in shallow containers so that it can dry. Ideal would be a ventilated place, as well as protected from sunlight. Shoots periodically need to stir up, so as not to begin the process of decay.
There are enough ways to store both roots and shoots so that you can choose the most suitable option for you. Glass jars and linen bags will also do; do not neglect paper bags either. The shelf life of Russian ginseng is three years. It is not worth saving raw materials longer - its useful properties will be lost.
