Red brush is one of the most ancient plants used in folk medicine in our area. It has long been known that, in addition to its medicinal properties, Rhodiola quadruplet very well tones, heals and rejuvenates the body, which occurs due to active cell regeneration.

Today, thanks to modern technologies, it has been proven that the red brush, in addition to all of the above, can stop the growth of malignant cells in the body, which, in fact, is an auxiliary cure for cancer.

Where does the red brush grow and what does it look like?

Red brush (also known as Rhodiola four-notched, four-parted, cold, four-parted) is an inhabitant of the highlands of Altai, the northern Urals, the Republic of Tuva, Sayan, Khamar-Daban, Barguzinsky ridge, Sikhote-Alin.

Among the many types of Rhodiola, only 2 types are medicinal - Rhodiola quadruple and Rhodiola frostis. Due to minor differences, both of these plants are popularly called red brush.

Why the red brush? The bud of the plant is a group of small scarlet and pink pointed petals (about 3 mm), and the root has a pink tint atypical for flowers. The flower reaches 20 cm in height and is overgrown with dense, fleshy leaves, characteristic of all Crassulaceae.

Rhodiola cold blooms in June-July, after which the plant begins to be collected. Only roots are collected, because It is this part of the flower that has medicinal properties. The raw materials should be dried in a well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight.

The roots can be stored for 2 years. Later, drying begins, and they will not bring any beneficial effects.

Chemical composition and pharmacological action


The therapeutic effect of the red brush explains the content of such useful substances as:

  • Essential oil – has an antiseptic, bactericidal and soothing effect. Indispensable for pain relief, inflammation relief and wound healing.
  • Phenols – normalize and support the functioning of the heart, stomach and intestines. They have antiseptic and antibacterial properties.
  • Waxes are actively involved in restoration, cellular regeneration and healing of organic tissues.
  • Flavonoids - relieve spasms, prevent the occurrence of ulcers, promote wound healing and produce a diuretic effect.
  • Sterols have a positive effect on heart function, promote the elimination of “bad” cholesterol and suppress autoimmune reactions in the body.
  • Tannins – relieve inflammation, accelerate wound healing and prevent the proliferation of harmful bacteria.

Of particular importance in the composition of the plant is the glycoside, which protects the body from cancer, normalizes gynecological disorders, and fights diseases of the adrenal glands and thyroid gland.

The root of the red brush contains many organic acids that activate the hematopoietic functions of the body, enriching the blood with magnesium, iron, and potassium. Acids also have a positive effect on other aspects of the body’s functioning - they strengthen blood vessels, improve digestion, speed up metabolism, remove waste and toxins, and reduce cholesterol levels in the blood.

In addition, Rhodiola quadruple includes such microelements as:

  • manganese – distributes carbohydrates throughout the body, participates in hematopoiesis and insulin synthesis;
  • copper is the main participant in the production of hemoglobin, prevents oxygen starvation, prevents the development of cancer and protects the body from infections;
  • chromium – normalizes blood sugar and cholesterol levels, lowers blood pressure;
  • zinc – stimulates brain function, is involved in the production of insulin, supports and strengthens the skeletal system.

The plant also contains cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, gum, vitamin C, phytohormones and anthocyanins. This bouquet of useful substances normalizes the nervous system, protects the body from the appearance of cancer cells, stimulates hematopoiesis, etc.

  • brain injuries;
  • tumors;
  • disorders of the cardiovascular system, including pressure changes;

Secondly, it is uterine fibroid, which develops from the same increased level of estrogen, cardiac pathologies and genetic predisposition. And thirdly, this is mastopathy, which can be caused by a lack of estrogen and hormonal imbalances.
  3. Climax. The age-related period of decreased reproductive function is accompanied by a number of unpleasant sensations. During this period, the red brush normalizes blood pressure, reduces body heat and sweating, relieves headaches, neuroses, insomnia, irritability, etc.

(which we have already talked about recently) and a unique and rare plant - red brush (also called Rhodiola cold, or Rhodiola tetrapartite). The heroine of ancient legends is the red brush, the use of which was practiced by ancient Altai herbalists, helps with infertility, impotence, and hormonal abnormalities.

To prepare potions, take the roots of Rhodiola cold. It is thanks to their shape and shade that the plant is called red brush. The herb also lives up to its name in another aspect: the red brush cleanses the body well of toxins, cleanses and restores the blood. This property of the plant allows it to be a general tonic, increasing the body's resistance and restoring strength.

Legend and pride of Gorny Altai

Oddly enough, know-it-all Wikipedia does not contain information about this miracle plant. This is perhaps explained by the fact that the red brush grows in a very limited area and is protected by law. It is impossible to harvest it on an industrial scale.

Rhodiola colda is found only in Russia, Pakistan, China, Kazakhstan and Mongolia. In our country, the place where medicinal herbs are distributed is the Altai Mountains. It is included in the Red Books of several Russian regions, as well as Mongolia. It is protected in large nature reserves in Siberia.

The inhabitants of the Altai Mountains, as expected, have a legend about how the healing properties of Rhodiola cold were discovered. Several centuries ago, there lived a lonely shaman in the mountains. He was famous for treating people from all diseases and bringing seriously ill people back to life. People from all over the area flocked to him asking for help.

The shaman's healing talents consisted in the fact that ancient souls allegedly came to him in dreams and revealed the secrets of nature. While still young, the shaman had a dream. In his visions, he walked for a long time along mountain paths. At the end of his journey, he saw a butterfly of unearthly beauty sitting on the bank of a mountain spring on a plant he had never seen before. The shaman felt a surge of strength and unprecedented peace.

In the morning the shaman repeated the path and found this plant. When he began to wash the bristle-like roots in the waters of the stream, he saw how the water turned pinkish. Then the shaman gave the plant a name - red brush; the herb helped him heal the wounded, treat infertile women and men, strengthen the spirit and body. According to legend, in his old age he passed on everything he knew to his student. And so the legend of cold Rhodiola spread around the world.

Herbalists call the plant divine, claiming that the red brush promotes rejuvenation. They believe that medicines based on Rhodiola root can cure even those who are close to death.

Who will the red brush help?

Whether cold radiola can really restore lost youth and delay old age has not been scientifically proven. In this matter, you can only trust traditional healers, although they are interested parties and may well lie... But other properties of the red brush have been tested by fans of herbal medicine.

The main healing component of Rhodiola colda root is the glycoside salidroside (chemistry is still a fun science, even the names rhyme). It is involved in the fight against inflammatory processes and bacterial infections. Thanks to it, the body copes more actively with fungal diseases. It is also credited with an oncoprotective property - slowing down the growth of cancerous tumors.

Many endocrine disorders are also recommended to be treated with decoctions of red brush; its use is indicated for the development of goiter, diseases of the lymph nodes, thyroid gland, adrenal glands and kidneys.

Rhodiola cold is famous for its hemostatic and healing effect. They drink it for faster healing of fractures. This root also has a beneficial effect on the condition of the blood, in particular. Red brush preparations are used as an adjuvant for leukemia.

Most often, the red brush is recommended for the treatment of the genitourinary and reproductive systems of both men and women. Rhodiola cold is indicated for representatives of the stronger sex for oligospermia (reduced sperm count), prostate adenoma, prostatitis and impotence.

The range of uses of the red brush for purely female diseases is even more impressive:

  • violation of the vaginal microflora (for example, candidiasis or ureaplasmosis);
  • inflammatory processes (vulvovaginitis, colpitis);
  • endometriosis;
  • mastopathy, breast tumors;
  • polycystic disease, fibroids, uterine fibroids;
  • menstrual irregularities;
  • menopause;
  • sexual coldness.

Infusions, decoctions, teas

The root of the red brush is used to prepare infusions or decoctions. Then they are taken orally or used for douching. It is better to use a decoction because it is based on water, and not alcohol, like an infusion.

Prepare the decoction:

Take two medium well-washed roots per liter of water. The future broth is kept on low heat for 20 minutes, then wrapped and allowed to rest for 30 minutes. The decoction is stored for about two days in the refrigerator. The strained drug is drunk 0.5 glasses two to three times a day before meals. It is advisable to do this at the same time. The course is no more than 1.5 months.

For douching for candidiasis and other disorders of the vaginal microflora, both a decoction and an infusion are suitable. For half a liter of water, take a glass of decoction (or a teaspoon of infusion). The procedure is carried out within a week after menstruation.

In many herbal collections, red brush takes pride of place: the herbs that are combined with it are,. Rhodiola cold is also included in the Altai elixir of youth, the so-called “adaptogenic cocktail” described by Academician Barnaulov. The secret recipe is:

Therefore, we recommend that any herbal medicine be discussed and agreed upon with your doctor.

To improve their health, recently many people, succumbing to aggressive advertising, are beginning to actively use various drugs and dietary supplements based on exotic plants. Meanwhile, in such a huge country as Russia, plants grow that are truly unique in their properties. One of these gifts of nature is the Red Brush plant, which has several names: Rhodiola quadruple, Rhodiola tetrapartite, Rhodiola quadruple. This healing herb is unique in that it is found exclusively in the Altai mountains. The mountain lifestyle gave the Red Brush unique medicinal properties, which are widely used in folk medicine.

Red brush is a medicinal plant that has a beneficial effect on the body for various female gynecological and male urological diseases and sexual disorders. Information about the wonderful properties of this plant has been known to mankind since ancient times; recipes of traditional healers are passed down from generation to generation, carefully stored, seriously studied, and used to this day.

Despite the impressive chemical composition of this plant, which includes valuable essential oil, anthraglycosides, organic acids, proteins, fats, waxes, phenols, glycosides, flavonoids, there are serious contraindications for the Red Brush. Self-medication, uncontrolled use of this drug, can have a completely opposite effect on the body of a person in need of urgent medical attention. Herbal medicine is a science that requires serious knowledge. Unfortunately, a huge number of non-professionals declare themselves herbalists and easily treat people, which quite often causes irreparable harm to human health.

One of the most common contraindications of the Red Brush can be considered individual intolerance to this medicinal plant by some groups of people. Using the medicine without prior testing is fraught with the risk of an allergic reaction to some of the ingredients that make up the medicinal plant. Instead of providing real help to the body, a person will have to get rid of the consequences of self-medication.

Contraindications for the Red Brush apply to people with high blood pressure, those suffering from hypertension, or experiencing frequent surges in blood pressure. It is also inappropriate to use the Red Brush plant as a medicine for nervous tension, when a person is in a state of deep depression or stress. Before using preparations based on the Red Brush, it is necessary to restore peace of mind. This plant should not be used if a sick person is febrile. Heart failure is also a reasonable contraindication for the Red Brush.

Herbalists have repeatedly noted that even a slight overdose of this medicinal plant sometimes causes side effects. In some cases, an inhibited reaction of the human body to external stimuli occurs, which in everyday life can lead to dangerous situations when driving. Also, herbalism using the Red Brush plant requires serious attention when compiling a daily diet. In this case, the consumption of alcohol, including beer or low-alcohol drinks, is completely excluded. The daily diet should consist exclusively of light foods.

Contraindications for Red Brush include its simultaneous use with special hormonal preparations and phytohormones, which are contained in licorice, clover, and hops. However, there are folk recipes that recommend the simultaneous use of the Red Brush with the plant, which is a fairly powerful phytohormone that restores disturbed hormonal balance. But in this case, seeking timely qualified advice from a specialist is also absolutely necessary.

It is not recommended to use this plant in the form of decoctions or tinctures during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. It is not advisable to combine treatment with drugs based on the Red Brush with the use of contraceptives. And remember - self-medication is completely excluded!

Red brush is a herbaceous plant with a rich and unique chemical composition. It is also called Rhodiola tetrapartite, Rhodiola cold and Rhodiola tetrapartite. This herb grows in Russia in Altai, in the mountains, and it was Altai shamans who discovered all the beneficial properties of this plant. Thanks to them, it became known how to take the red brush, prepare it correctly, as well as indications and contraindications for use.

Due to the increased collection of Radiola cold, the populations of this crop began to grow significantly smaller, and it was listed in the Red Book. At the moment, the plant is under protection; industrial collection is prohibited.

In terms of its composition, the red brush is a unique product, the analogues of which do not exist in nature. It includes the following components:

  • phytohormones;
  • Sahara;
  • anthocyanins;
  • sterols;
  • glycosides;
  • essential oils;
  • organic acids;
  • tannins;
  • flavonoids;
  • betaines;
  • vitamins;
  • microelements.

I would like to note that this remedy does not work to eliminate the symptoms of the disease, but removes the cause of its occurrence. Due to its rich composition, red brush has a wide range of pharmacological effects:

  • bactericidal;
  • anti-inflammatory;
  • hematopoietic;
  • hormonal;
  • wound healing;
  • astringent;
  • antifungal;
  • immunostimulating;
  • adaptogenic;
  • laxative;
  • vaso-strengthening;
  • antiviral.

This herb is widely used in many areas: gynecology, urology, oncology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, neurology, and reproductive medicine. As a gynecological remedy, it is used in the treatment of hormonal disorders, fibroids, mastopathy, menstrual irregularities and other diseases.

In urology, a red brush is used to treat inflammatory diseases of the urinary system: cystitis, pyelonephritis. In endocrinology, it is prescribed for pathologies of the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, and diabetes mellitus.

The herb has a laxative function, enhances intestinal motility, and helps improve digestion.

Rhodiola will also be a good helper in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. It strengthens the walls of blood vessels, clears them of atherosclerotic plaques, lowers blood pressure, and lowers cholesterol levels. The herb is also effective for diseases of the blood and lymphatic system, since it has a hematopoietic function.

ENT doctors use Rhodiola in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the facial sinuses, such as sinusitis, frontal sinusitis and sinusitis. In neurology, the plant is widely used to improve cerebral circulation in the treatment of epilepsy, traumatic brain injuries, and nervous conditions.

There are studies that confirm that the red brush is effective in the fight against cancer, but not as the main therapy, but as an adjuvant.

Rhodiola quadruplet is used as a general tonic during the period of recovery of the body after serious illnesses and operations.

Separately, I would like to highlight the effect of Rhodiola cold on the male body. This herb is beneficial for both men of reproductive age and the elderly. When taking the drug, potency increases significantly, sperm become much more mobile, and hormonal levels are normalized. This herb is especially useful during the so-called “male menopause”.

Indications for the use of the red brush in gynecology

Very useful in the treatment of gynecological diseases. It is used as the main treatment and as an adjuvant. Among the diseases that this herb fights are the following:

  • menstrual irregularities;
  • neoplasms in the uterus and appendages;
  • mastopathy.

Rhodiola cold contains phytohormones that help eliminate hormonal disorders in a woman’s body. It is used in the treatment of dysmenorrhea, uterine bleeding,. For severe premenstrual syndrome, this herb will be a good helper. The unpleasant symptoms of menopause and premenopause are no exception: the herb will not be able to completely remove them, but, as a rule, it can significantly improve the general condition.

As an auxiliary and preventive remedy, the red brush is used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the uterus, appendages and vagina (adnexitis, endometritis, cervical erosion, cervicitis, vulvovaginitis), mastopathy and various neoplasms in the female genital organs (myoma, fibromyoma, cystosis and polycystic disease, polyps, endometriosis).

Only the attending physician should prescribe and adjust the use of herbs. Incorrect treatment tactics can lead to worsening of the condition and be dangerous to health.

How to cook red brush

A ready-made preparation based on Rhodiola cold can be bought at a pharmacy, but if you have the raw materials, preparing the medicine at home is not difficult. The most commonly used are tincture and decoction of the dried root. They are identical in their action.

To prepare the tincture, use 50 grams of dry red brush raw material, add 0.5 liters of vodka, and infuse for a month. Periodically you need to stir the product. The container in which the herb will be infused must be made of dark glass. The drug should only be stored in a dark place. After 30 days, you should strain thoroughly and take 30–40 drops, which is about 1 teaspoon, three times a day.

How to brew red brush? This process has several nuances. In order to prepare the decoction, you will need a water bath, enamel dishes, dry herbs, boiled water, cooled to 70 degrees.

You cannot pour boiling water over the red brush and keep it on fire, otherwise all the beneficial properties will be lost.

For 1 tablespoon of herb you will need 1 glass of water. Pour the herb into a bowl, mix with water, place in a bathhouse and keep there, stirring constantly, for 15 minutes. Afterwards, remove and let sit for an hour. Next, strain and pour into a glass container. The decoction is stored for two days. You need to take half a glass three times a day.

This herb is also used for douching for inflammatory diseases of the vagina. To prepare the solution, you need to mix a glass of broth with half a liter of boiled, cooled water. Douching is carried out in the morning and evening.

Features of the use of a red brush for gynecological diseases

Before you begin treatment with a red brush, you need to familiarize yourself with how to take this remedy correctly. There are several rules that must be followed.

It is imperative to follow the drug dosage schedule. In the morning, the medicine is taken half an hour before breakfast, no earlier than nine o’clock in the morning. At lunch, the drug is taken an hour before meals. In the evening 30 minutes before dinner, but no later than 19 hours.

Preparations based on Rhodiola cold have a stimulating effect, enhance brain function, which can cause insomnia.

When taking medications, you must strictly adhere to the treatment regimen. The first course should last a month, then a fifteen-day break. After this, two more thirty-day courses are taken with the same break. At the end of the three-month course, the body needs a month of rest and after that another course of treatment follows. It will help consolidate the result.

It is contraindicated to drink red brush under the following conditions:

  • high temperature;
  • hypertension;
  • pregnancy.

When treating gynecological diseases, especially infertility, it is advisable to combine the red brush with Borovaya uterus. But, as soon as pregnancy has occurred, Rhodiola cold should be immediately discontinued due to its ability to cause spontaneous abortion.

Red brush should not be used together with other herbs containing phytohormones. It is also contraindicated to take it together with synthetic hormonal drugs. The simultaneous use of several similar drugs can aggravate the condition.

When starting to take red brush, you need to remember that it heals, like all herbs, quite gently. It will take longer to notice the effect than with synthetic drug therapy. The joint efforts of the doctor, the patient and Mother Nature will always give a positive result, you just need to be patient.
