Application in medicine. The rhizomes of the plant have an astringent, bactericidal, anti-inflammatory and hemostatic effect. The local anti-inflammatory effect is associated with tannins that can create a biological film that protects tissues from chemical, bacterial and mechanical effects that accompany inflammation. At the same time, the permeability of capillaries decreases and the vessels narrow. These features of the action are well manifested on inflamed, reddened mucous membranes with pharyngitis, stomatitis, gingivitis, as well as gastritis and enteritis. Potentilla is used as a rinse for inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity and pharynx and larynx. Inside take with enteritis, enterocolitis and dyspepsia.

The cinquefoil is upright. Botanical description of the plant, areas of growth and ecology, economic importance, applications
Potentilla erectus is a herbaceous perennial with an almost horizontal, curved or straight cylindrical rhizome with tuberous small thickenings, from which numerous adventitious roots grow. The scientific name of cinquefoil comes from the Latin word "potency" - strength, power, ability, since the plant is a reliable remedy for many diseases. Potentilla grows in wet places, meadows, pastures, in the gardens of the European part of Russia, as well as in the Caucasus, Crimea, Western Siberia. In the steppe zone - only in river valleys. The rhizomes are rich in starch and proteins. Dried and crushed, they are suitable for obtaining flour used as an additive to cereals. Rhizome starch is a good raw material for preparing a wide variety of dishes, side dishes and seasonings. In the north of Ukraine and Belarus, flour from the rhizomes of Potentilla is added to grain flour when baking bread or donuts in a ratio of one to one. Dig rhizomes in early spring or late autumn, and if necessary, directly from under the snow. They are washed, cleaned of small roots and brown skin and cut lengthwise for easier and faster drying. First, the rhizomes are dried in air, and then in Russian stoves or ovens at a temperature of 60-70 ° C. To obtain cereals, the rhizomes are ground once or twice, flour - several times, gradually reseeding on a sieve. As a mill, you can use a meat grinder. Potentilla roots are used in the alcoholic beverage industry. For the preparation of English, Russian, Caucasian bitter, pepper, "Erofeich", "Donetsk steppe", "Mountain oak forest", liqueurs "Steppe herbs", "Benedictine", Riga balsam, Potentilla roots are an indispensable component. Among the Zaporizhzhya Cossacks, vodka infused with the roots of Potentilla erectus was considered a universal remedy for the treatment of all diseases, was used to wash wounds, and treat ulcers. Until now, Potentilla is called Cossack ginseng in Ukraine. Potentilla erectus is highly valued as a medicinal plant, harvested for the needs of traditional medicine. The plant needs protection, although it is not included in the Red Book. To heal cracks on the hands, feet, lips, an ointment is made from cinquefoil. 5 g peeled and chopped roots are mixed with a glass of unsalted butter. The mixture is simmered in the oven for 5 minutes, filtered, add 5 g of cologne or toilet water. The resulting mixture lubricates damaged areas, dry and flaky skin of the face and neck, legs, arms, lips. In the old days, cinquefoil was used for brushing teeth. The peeled roots were dried, ground into a powder, which was rubbed on the gums and teeth. It is claimed that teeth polished with powdered cinquefoil roots remain shiny and clean for a week, there is no bad breath, and inflammation of the gums is prevented. The cosmetic and medicinal properties of cinquefoil are explained by the fact that the roots and grass contain tannins, tormentol crystalline ether, glycosides, ellagic acid, flobafen, resins, organic acids. The roots are harvested in late autumn, dried in the air and dried in the oven at a temperature of 50-60 ° C. Dry roots are stored in a cool, dry place in paper bags. Shelf life - up to 6 years.

The cinquefoil is upright. The value of the plant, the procurement of raw materials, the use in traditional medicine and cooking
This plant has long been revered among the medicinal for the best. Grandfathers called him "powerful". Grass finders most often hunt for the underground part of the grass, but they do not tear the galangal, but dig it - it is valuable as a root. They dig grass in the fall, when the leaves wither and die, or in the spring, before the greenery blooms. With leaves and a stem, the root of the mighty, as it were, lends them its reserves, becomes poorer for a while. But, before withering, they more than endow it with noble wealth. What is the significance of the wild galangal? First of all, healing properties. The list of his blessings is perhaps the longest in comparison with those that belong to medicinal herbs. Judge for yourself: infusions of galangal cure inflammation and stomach ulcers, stop gastric bleeding, relieve debilitating diarrhea, anesthetize toothache. Its ointments and decoctions are used for burns, removal of weeping eczema, wound healing, frostbite. With an aqueous decoction (20 grams of root per liter of water), they rinse the throat from a sore throat and the mouth from scurvy. Pimples on hands and feet, weathered, chapped lips, peasants have long been smeared with galangal ointment, which they themselves prepared; a spoonful of finely chopped roots is boiled short in a glass of cow butter, the mixture is filtered - and the ointment is ready! Interestingly, in Bulgaria, this herb also gets rid of liver diseases, as well as jaundice and rheumatism. In addition to medicinal, galangal also has considerable economic advantages. As an excellent tanning agent, it is in full view of tanners, and in this role it has eclipsed the tanning root of ratania, previously imported from South America; like a dye. Due to its bactericidal properties, wild galangal is recognized as essential in the fish canning industry. In scientific use, the galangal is most often called erect cinquefoil (Potentilla erecta). This perennial is renewed every spring. As soon as the earth bends and dries up, as in sparse pine forests, in wet meadows, among shrubs, along the banks of rivers, and even on wastelands, trifoliate basal leaves appear on long petioles. But now the herbs thickened, rose, and our cinquefoil also drove the stems: thin, with a fork raised up. There are many leaves on the stems, but they are all without petioles, but the three-lobed plates are equipped with two large lateral stipules, which makes the entire leaf seem five-fingered, not like the lower, basal. But now the full summer has come - the zenith of heat, and the erect cinquefoil has blossomed yellow flowers, the size of a marigold, and each on its apical or axillary leg. Now the lower leaves have dried up - they are not needed, but the stem ones have matured, more noticeably covered with sparse hairs. The flower of the galangal is four-petal, and this sign must be remembered more firmly, since the five-petal cinquefoils are non-medicinal and, of course, are not suitable for collection. Especially often goose cinquefoil is stuffed into the acquaintance of a newcomer, the one that draws in calm village streets and cow paths in the pasture. And of course, he will deceive the novice herbalist, If he does not look at the petals (there are five of them, but four are needed), and the leaves of goose cinquefoil like a bird's feather are cut. Potentilla bears fruit at the end of summer, when even a certain thinning and lodging. Its achenes are modular, consisting of several bare, slightly wrinkled fruitlets. The root of the galangal is thick and short, similar to a tuber. To the touch it is hard, woody, many-headed. It is located obliquely in the ground, its length is from 3 to 7 centimeters. The overgrown roots are thin, thick, they are not taken for medicinal purposes. Dig galangal in September - October or early spring. To do this, they use a shovel, and where there are significant thickets and harvesting is carried out on a large scale, a plow is used. The plowed roots are selected, shaken off the ground, the grassy part and small roots are cut off, and the rot is cleaned off. The collected raw materials are washed in cold water, then dried. This is done as follows: air-dried roots are laid out in a thin layer in attics behind an iron roof or under a canopy. You can also use a dryer, only the air temperature in it should not exceed 50-60 degrees. Dry rhizomes are brown on the outside, dark red at the break: on top they are, as it were, pockmarked - in dimples. The smell of the finished collection is pleasant, but weakly expressed, although it intensifies when rubbed. The taste of galangal is very tart. Chemical analysis found tannins, starch, quinic and malic acids, wax, resins, gums and sugars in the roots. The collection does not lose its healing properties up to six years. Store in a bag in a dry, ventilated area. Author: Strizhev A.N.
