Medicinal herbs hemlock. Hemlock - medicinal properties and contraindications. Hemlock - side effects

Hemlock is a flower with a very dubious reputation: this is evidenced by the nicknames that the savvy Russian people bestowed on the medicinal herb. Pig louse, tar, stinking grass, gorigol - tenderness and admiration for the plant in these words is clearly not enough. Hemlock has had a bad reputation since ancient times - they allegedly poisoned the philosopher Socrates with it. But already from the Middle Ages, tar began to be used to treat severe venereal diseases and tumors, and modern herbal oncologists are developing entire treatment courses based on it. What is it, hemlock - a deadly herb or one that gives new life?

Villain with kind eyes

This is exactly how Simferopol oncologist Valery Tishchenko, who has long and successfully treated cancer patients with tincture of tar, christened hemlocks - romantically and with gratitude. But not everyone knows how to look into the eyes of hemlock weed - the photo and description of the plant strongly resemble parsley, and lovers of the fragrant spice have been poisoned more than once when they discovered a pretty weed in their garden...

Another dangerous twin of hemlock is hemlock, or poisonous hemlock. It grows closer to the swamps and has an enticing smell of sweet carrots, unlike the usual tar, which loves dry soil, and its smell is... mousey and rather disgusting. Some historians even claim that it was hemlock that killed Socrates, and hemlock was the culprit.

But inquisitive healers who knew how to recognize hemlock among other forest herbs were rewarded handsomely: in Europe, medieval monks used tar to treat tumors, and the ancient Russian “Collection of Svyatoslav Yaroslavich” recommended hemlock as a remedy for venereal diseases and malignant neoplasms. And in 1866, the strongest painkiller hemlock was included in the Russian State Pharmacopoeia - an official document! - and stayed there until 1902.

Medicinal properties of tar grass

The main secret of stinky grass is its chemical composition. Hemlock contains 5 powerful alkaloids, the main one of which is the nerve poison coniine - comparable in strength to the deadly Indian poison curare.

Official medicine and herbal medicine are afraid and do not recognize hemlock - only traditional medicine actively uses it for its medicinal properties and contraindications, at its own peril and risk. For therapy, tincture, powder and juice from the above-ground parts of the tar are used - stems, leaves and flowers.

Hemlock is not used for ordinary “everyday” illnesses - it is a truly powerful medicine, dangerous in inexperienced hands. Tar is a powerful immunomodulator, sedative and analgesic, anticonvulsant and cardiac drug, effectively resolves polyps, cysts and tumors.

Traditional healers advise using hemlock for the following diseases:

• Benign and malignant neoplasms;
• Atherosclerosis and varicose veins;
• Prostatitis and prostate adenoma;
• Migraines and tinnitus;
• Epilepsy;
• Whooping cough;
• Gynecological problems (ovarian cyst, polyps in the uterus, etc.);
• Polyps in the bladder;
• In the form of patches, lotions and baths - for skin cancer, external organs, eye diseases, etc.

Contraindications and signs of poisoning

It is no coincidence that official medicine still does not use hemlock in its recipes - its medicinal properties are unique, but there are no less contraindications. The plant must be used under the close supervision of a doctor, but there are categories for which “tar therapy” is clearly prohibited. These are small children, pregnant women, hypotensive patients and people with chronic kidney pathologies.

In the process of preparing medicines from stinking grass, you also need to be more careful: the slightest overdose can cause poisoning, and if fresh hemlock juice gets on the skin, dermatitis is guaranteed. It is also important to know the symptoms of pork louse poisoning: if you have dripped yourself some extra tincture or accidentally picked a sprig of hemlock along with it in the garden, you will be able to recognize the cause of the problem and get to the doctor in time.

The main signs of “tar poisoning” are a burning sensation in the mouth and a scratching sensation in the throat, heaviness in the head, severe salivation, vomiting, dizziness, suspicious drowsiness, dilated pupils and even convulsions.

How to use hemlock correctly and safely?

Hemlock has one interesting quality - its use for a variety of ailments is practically the same: the main options are tincture and ointment. You can find tincture of tar in online stores or make it yourself - from freshly harvested herbs or ready-made dry raw materials.

A tincture of fresh summer hemlock is prepared as follows: loosely place the herb along with the seeds in a jar, filling 2/3 of the entire volume, pour in vodka (a couple of glasses of alcohol per glass of tar) and hide in a dark closet. In 10-14 days the super medicine will be ready. To make a dried tincture of stinking herb, you need to pour 50 grams of dried stems and leaves with 0.5 vodka and leave for 21 days.

Taking hemlock tincture is very simple - dilute a drop of the medicine in 100 ml of water and drink it on an empty stomach in the morning. The next day - already 2 drops. When it reaches 20-30 drops, you need to start moving in the opposite direction. The break between such treatment courses is 1-2 weeks.

For herbal tar ointment you will need 50 grams of chopped fresh hemlock grass and half a liter. Pour oil over the weed, seal the container well and leave for three weeks, removing and shaking occasionally. Then strain through triple gauze and make healing compresses. This method is better than the first, as it does not use alcohol, which cripples instead of cures.

Forest doctor for cancer

Oncology is considered one of the most terrible threats of the 21st century - no one is immune from deadly tumors, so doctors and desperate patients are looking for more and more new cures for the terrible disease. But hemlock against cancer is not a modern invention: the “fragrant” herb against tumors was used by medieval healers, and today certified doctors and herbalists from all over the country offer their own courses of hemlock against cancer.

Remember: hemlock is not a universal drug against all types of cancer: tar tincture most successfully fights cancer of the prostate, breast, uterus, as well as throat, stomach, liver and thyroid. The medicine should be used according to the traditional regimen, increasing the dosage to 30, maximum 40 drops, and then gradually reducing.

It is important to use hemlock in oncology fresh; it is best to prepare a tincture with chopped young leaves. And most importantly, you should not rely on tar as your only and last salvation! Hemlock works only in combination, and not only with special medications, but also with other non-poisonous medicinal herbs.

Hemlock for cancer: what reviews say

When used against cancer, there is a lot of controversy hemlock –

Cancer is a serious illness, usually leading to death. Healthy people fear him like fire. And those who have already encountered it, sparing nothing, go to great lengths to save themselves. Official medicine offers a standard set: surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. The unofficial one doesn’t offer anything! Of course, even a straw seems like a log to a drowning person, but still it is hardly worth believing all healers indiscriminately. Sometimes their means are pure scams for personal gain. A completely different matter is hemlock tincture. She really saved many people, and saved those who did not survive from excruciating pain. This miracle potion was invented not by healers, but by scientists. They tested the effect of the drug on both animals and humans. You may ask: why then do people still die from cancer? Why is hemlock tincture not used in oncology clinics? Let's not look for answers to these not at all medical questions, but try to figure out what the healing secret of this amazing plant is.

Description of the plant

Hemlock, the tincture of which is considered a panacea, is an unassuming herb with discreet white flowers. Externally, the plant looks a little like overgrown parsley, and its seeds look like dill or anise. Hemlock grows like a weed. You can see it in the forest, in meadows, on mountain slopes, wastelands, landfills, near fences - in general, anywhere. In Russia, spotted hemlock is found almost everywhere, the tincture of which has truly magical healing properties. Its tall (up to 2.2 meters) branched stem is covered with brown spots. It's hollow inside. The root of the plant is similar to a carrot. The leaves are strongly feathery. Flowers are white “umbrella” inflorescences. The seeds are small, ribbed, gray-brown. One seed splits into two smaller ones called mericarp. 1000 pieces weigh just under 1.5 grams. Hemlock blooms almost all summer. In August-September, mature seeds appear. An important distinguishing feature is that the plant smells “pleasant” of mice if any part of it is kneaded with your fingers.

Carefully! Deadly poison!

Despite the fact that hemlock tincture is an invaluable medicine, the plant itself is very poisonous. Ancient Greek executioners even used hemlock as a murder weapon. This is exactly how Socrates was executed, by allowing him to drink a deadly infusion (according to another version, he took the poison himself). Some people mistake hemlock for garden greens, which is why they are easily poisoned. Its toxicity is caused by alkaloids, with which all parts of the plant are filled. The most “serious” of them is coniine. It often poisons not only people, but also livestock and poultry, and dried hemlock does not lose its properties. So, scientists have a version that it is coniine that kills cancer cells.

Standardized treatment with hemlock tincture is safe, but just in case, here are the symptoms of poisoning:

• deterioration of vision and speech;
• nausea;
• pale skin;
• vomit;
• dizziness;
• excessive salivation;
• diarrhea;
• difficulty swallowing;
• at the first stage there is strong excitement, later paralysis.

Numbness of the body begins with the feet and rises to the head. When the toxins reach the lungs, the victim dies from respiratory failure. The antidote is milk with potassium permanganate. It should be pink. In severe cases, urgent resuscitation measures are necessary.

When used externally, hemlock can also cause negative reactions in the form of redness and dermatitis.

Blank

Hemlock tincture is almost never found in pharmacies. Sometimes you need to “travel” the entire Internet to find it. But it doesn’t matter, you can prepare the drug yourself. Where to begin? From the procurement of raw materials. The ground part is suitable for medicinal purposes. Hemlocks are cut in June-July, and it is advisable to do this with gloves. The seeds can be picked immature (along with the umbels), but measures must be taken so that when they dry out they do not spill onto the ground. Hemlocks are dried in the shade, in places far from the homes of domestic animals and, of course, from children’s games. The finished raw materials are crushed and placed in an airtight, tightly closed container. Glass jars with lids are ideal.

Sometimes there is a need to use raw materials. In such cases, the grass is crushed and consumed immediately, according to the recipe.

Making medicine

Making a hemlock tincture is a little confusing. The Internet is full of instructions that say that to do this you need to go to a field or forest (and strictly in the morning), taking containers and alcohol with you, because after 20 minutes the grass loses its properties. However, it has been scientifically proven that the composition of dried hemlock remains virtually unchanged. In any case, the poisons do not disappear from it. There is a periodical called “Messenger of Hope,” which provides detailed information from issue to issue about the benefits and harms of this plant. Its pages contain recipes for hemlock tincture from fresh and dry raw materials. It is done only with medical alcohol (vodka) diluted in a 1:2 ratio, but not with water. So, what do you need to make an effective hemlock tincture? How to prepare it from a raw and dry plant?

1. Fill a third of the container of any container with chopped young shoots and fill it up to the neck with vodka. Let's close. We place it in the cellar for 10 days (you can use a refrigerator).

2. Fill the jar to the top with inflorescences (you can add leaves), but do not compact them. The mass should be loose. Fill with vodka, close, leave for 10 days.

3. Place the unripe (green) seeds together with the umbrellas loosely in a jar. Fill with alcohol (at least 70 degrees). Then the process is the same.

4. Grind the dry raw materials (all parts, even the roots), measure out 300 grams, place in a 3-liter container and fill to the top with vodka. We insist for two weeks.

The different amounts of raw materials are due to the fact that all parts of hemlock contain different percentages of alkaloids. There are 2% in seeds, 0.24% in flowers, 0.1% in leaves and stems.

There is another recipe. In the field, the above-ground part of the hemlock is cut into pieces, immediately, without leaving the bush, placed in a container about 2/3 full, filled with vodka or alcohol diluted in a ratio of 1:2 and left for 3 weeks, shaking occasionally.

There are many recipes. It is difficult to say which one is more effective. But each of them contains hemlock and alcohol.

With any method of production, the finished tincture must be filtered and placed in the refrigerator.

Treatment. Tishchenko's technique

So, you already have a hemlock tincture ready. Use in cancer is carried out using many methods. It is impossible to consider all of them in one article. Here are the most popular ones, according to the reviews of healed former patients.

Tishchenko’s methods are recognized as the most gentle. They are based on the so-called “slides”, that is, gradually increasing and then decreasing the dose. Shall we begin?

Tsarskaya

This technique in the rarest cases causes side effects, since treatment begins with minimal doses, and subsequently the body gradually gets used to it and no longer reacts so sharply to “feeding” it with poison.

So, day 1. 1 drop of tincture per glass of water. 2nd day - 2 drops, 3rd - 3 and so on up to 13 drops. Next, the amount of water is increased by 50 ml. The process is repeated up to 26 drops. And again add 50 ml of water. Thus, gradually reach 40 drops per dose. Drink the tincture once a day on an empty stomach, about an hour before meals. Having reached 40 drops, you need to start reducing the dose. Do the same as when increasing, only in reverse. Usually, several such “slides” are required for complete healing.

Note that this is the method most often used to drink hemlock tincture (use for cancer). Feedback from people is very favorable. According to the recollections of relatives, even those whom hemlock could not save found it much easier to endure the pain.

For very weak patients, you can not take it up to 40 drops, but stop at the amount at which the body begins to reject the medicine, for example, 15.

If, while climbing the “hill”, the patient suddenly feels disgusted with the medicine, it is necessary to reduce it to 1 drop and then climb again.

If the patient feels a noticeable improvement at some stage of the ascent, you can remain at this level and not increase the number of drops.

Ermolchik's technique

Some believe that hemlock tincture is much more effective in decoctions of other herbs. The application proposed by Ermolchik involves adding drops of tincture to decoctions of licorice, dried apricots, oregano, oats, and Kuril tea. This requires 50 ml of liquid.

In severe forms of the disease (metastases, late stages), it is recommended to drink the tincture 6 times a day. From 6 am to 6 pm every 3 hours, plus the last time at 8 pm. For the initial 4 days, drop 1 drop into water each time, the next 4 days - 2, then 3, 4, and 5. Stop there. Drink 5 drops until recovery.

For fibroids, Ermolchik advises douching with hemlock. Tinctures take 5 drops per 50 ml of herbal decoction (blackhead, wintergreen, boron uterus).

In fact, with any method, together with hemlock tincture or after finishing the “slide”, it is advisable to drink decoctions of other herbs. Most of all, healers and scientists recommend a decoction of oregano. This herb “knows how” to restore the blood formula. Preparation: for 0.5 liters of water, 2.5 tbsp. spoons of dry collection. Boil, leave overnight in a thermos, strain. Drink a glass (50-100 g) three times a day, with honey.

A decoction of rose hips with pine needles (pine or spruce) is also recommended. This remedy can remove poisons and restore blood vessels. Preparation: 5 tbsp. spoons of pine needles and 3 tbsp. pour spoons of berries with water (700 ml). Boil for 10 minutes and leave in a thermos overnight. Strain. Drink up to 1.5 liters per day. Kidney people can add onion peels (2 tablespoons) to the ingredients.

Prevention

Cancer is such a cunning infection that, at the beginning of its development, sits quietly and unnoticed in the body. The disease can only be detected by chance during some kind of examination during this period. The tumor begins to manifest itself when it has already managed to strengthen and grow. So smart heads think that to destroy the disease in the bud, hemlock tincture is also suitable. How to take it healthy? Many people advise using Tishchenko’s royal method because it is the most harmless. Those who have tried it note an increase in body tone, improvement in the functioning of all systems, pain that has been tormenting for years goes away, skin problems (psoriasis plaques) disappear. It is recommended to conduct such preventive courses every year.

Hippocrates also used hemlock for treatment. Now traditional healers use it for epilepsy, whooping cough, and migraines (the drug relieves spasms and soothes pain). Healers prepare an alcohol tincture as an anesthetic at the rate of 1 part of the raw material to 10 parts of vodka.

Hemlock tincture. Use for other diseases

In addition to cancer, hemlock helps with:

1. Hypertension. Anyone planning to be treated with hemlock tincture should take into account that it “knows how” to lower blood pressure. Hypertensive patients drink 2 drops of the medicine four times a day for 2 to 3 months.

2. Constipation. 10 drops per glass of water in the morning on an empty stomach, the same in the evening.

3. Wet dreams. 2 drops in 1/4 glass of water four times a day, duration of therapy - up to 2 months.

4. Menstrual irregularities.

Before using the tincture, it is advisable to cleanse your body (especially for those who have undergone chemotherapy). A decoction of flaxseed gives a good result. Preparation: a glass of raw material is poured with hot water (boiling water), placed in a water bath and boiled for 2 hours. The finished broth is allowed to cool (so that it can be drunk) and consumed without restrictions.

External use

By the way, it should be noted that not only hemlock tincture is used for medicinal purposes. Reviews from patients show that an ointment based on this plant has also worked well. Cooking method:

1. Take 100 ml of sunflower (unrefined) or better good olive oil, add 2 tablespoons of dry hemlock, shake well and refrigerate for 2 weeks. After the expiration date, strain thoroughly (the gauze must be folded several times and surgical cotton must be inserted into it).

2. Take 100 ml of the same oil, pour into a metal container and place on low heat (it should not boil or foam, just heat up). Add small pieces of wax (from a candle) little by little and stir with something until it dissolves. Carry out this procedure until the composition turns white. Once the desired color is reached, remove the oil from the heat and let cool (it should become warm, not hot).

Add the first ingredient to the second and mix thoroughly.

This ointment has been used successfully against cancer, as has hemlock tincture. The use (reviews are evidence of this) is advisable for external types of cancer and for internal ones, only in such cases the ointment should be applied externally to the place that is affected by the disease. they say that this remedy helps with stages I and II, but with stages III and IV, trials have not yet been completed. Important! The ointment should not be applied to the neck and head for more than 2 hours.

Among other things, the drug is used for cuts, burns, hemorrhoids (heals cracks).

Freshly picked or dried hemlock leaves are used externally for gout, rheumatism of the joints, and thrombophlebitis. The raw materials are wrapped in a rag, poured with boiling water and applied to problem areas up to 4 times a day.

Hemlock tincture: use for cancer. Reviews from those who were cured

On thematic forums you can find articles whose authors scare you with hemlock. Their arguments are based on the extreme toxicity of the plant. They also claim that hemlock can kill only cancer cells, but is powerless during relapses. However, patient reviews say the opposite. People talk about how hemlock tincture helped them or their relatives. There are stories about the cure of patients whom doctors already considered hopeless (late-stage cancer, metastases) and discharged them home to die. There are often comments that talk about complete cure of lung, stomach, intestinal, and prostate cancer with this remedy.

There are, however, those for whom hemlock tincture did not help. People's reviews boil down to the fact that when taking it, the pain only decreased, but the patient still died. Well, let's not argue. Cancer is an insidious disease. And the body of each of us is unique. What suits one person may be rejected by another, and the final result depends on the degree of organ damage by the tumor at the time of treatment. But if not a single doctor in the world gives good prognosis for cancer of the third, much less stage IV, and even with extensive metastases, why not try hemlock? It certainly won't get any worse. Among those who were cured, there were many people who, together with hemlock tincture or in between “slides,” took ASD2 - another medical know-how. This drug, developed by the brilliant Dorogov, is able to penetrate cells without being rejected by them and restore their normal functioning. The drug ASD2 is unique, and the price is cheap (in pharmacies it costs less than a travel ticket). So why shouldn’t people who have no chance of being cured with the help of official medicine try to save themselves with the same means that have helped others?

Content

Many serious illnesses can be treated with medicinal herbs. Hemlock belongs to this category - the medicinal properties and contraindications of this plant were known to the ancient Greek healer Hippocrates. The plant is poisonous, but you can harvest it yourself after studying the safety rules.

Hemlock - where it grows and what it looks like

The spotted or speckled hemlock plant belongs to the biennial herbs of the Apiaceae family. Grows in Africa, Asia and Europe. In our country it is found in almost all areas. He chooses well-lit, open places. You can find it on the edges of forests, roadsides, limestone slopes, fields, and vegetable gardens.

Grows up to 1.8 meters. The central stem is thick and covered with red speckles; these markings give the plant its name. Numerous branches with large leaves and inflorescences extend from the stem. The white flowers resemble umbrellas. In late summer in the second year, fruits are formed, they are eliminated and a new plant cycle begins.

Hemlock is classified as a poisonous herb and is highly dangerous. Our ancestors prepared terrible poisons from it. It was then that the beneficial properties of the plant were discovered. It contains the following substances:

• essential oils;
• flavonoids – quercetin, kaempferol;
• acylglycerols;
• fixed oils;
• organic acids;

Don’t forget about the toxic components of hemlock – alkaloids. The most dangerous of them is coniine. According to herbalists, it kills cancer cells, acting like chemotherapy. In addition, hemlock contains:

• methylkoniine;
• coniceine;
• pseudoconhydrin;
• conhydrin.

Everyone has their own treatment method. However, when using hemlock for cancer, you need to follow the dosage. Otherwise, the beneficial properties will turn against the patient.

Hemlock tincture

An alcoholic tincture of hemlock, which is taken orally, is more effective against cancer. You can buy it or brew it yourself. Plant collection begins in May and continues until August. Leaves, inflorescences, seeds, fruits, both fresh and dried, are used for preparation. You need to use rubber gloves to collect them, as hemlock juice causes skin rashes.

The raw materials are placed loosely in a container and filled with vodka. The grass is completely covered with liquid so that the volatile substances do not evaporate. Place the bottle in a dark place, cover with a lid and leave for 2-4 weeks. This period is enough for the alkaloids to pass into vodka. The finished tincture needs to be strained. Store in a cool place out of reach of children.

Hemlock oil - application

2. Fill to the neck with any vegetable oil, preferably olive or linseed.
3. Instead of a lid, cover with a plastic bag, which is secured with an elastic band.
4. Leave in a dark place for 2 weeks, strain before use.

Hemlock treatment

All hemlock treatment methods are divided into intensive and gentle. The first group includes methods when, according to the instructions, several drops are taken at once, with an increase in dosage throughout the day. These techniques cannot be carried out independently; it is necessary for someone close to you to always be with the patient in order to provide timely assistance in case of an overdose.

Gentle methods allow the body to get used to the poison; they do not bring quick results, but are not so dangerous. A doctor who practices the use of folk remedies for cancer can tell you which method to choose and how to take hemlock correctly. It is not recommended to self-medicate, relying only on reviews on the Internet.

Treatment with hemlock using the Tishchenko method

Start taking the tincture as planned: one drop per 100 ml of water per day. You should add 1 drop daily until the number reaches 40. Then the intake continues, but the number of drops decreases every day from 40 to 1. An important rule: when increasing the number of drops, you need to add water - 50 ml per 10 drops, per 40 drops you will need 300 ml of liquid.

The method of using hemlock in this way was popularly called “royal” due to its high efficiency. Its main advantage is that the dosage is increased gradually and the body has time to get used to the poison. Treatment of cancer with hemlock according to Tishchenko’s method is used not only in folk medicine; doctors with many years of experience confirm the effectiveness of this method.

Hemlock tincture use in gynecology

The medicinal properties of the plant are also used for women's health. The use of hemlock tincture in gynecology helps treat:

• fibroids;
• ovarian cyst;
• endometriosis;
• uterine cancer;
• mastopathy;
• polyps in the uterine cavity and cervix.

External methods have proven themselves well in the treatment of tumors in women. These include douching and tampons. To avoid side effects, use diluted hemlock oil and tincture. To do this, the oil is diluted with vegetable oil, and the tincture with water. If the description of the method says to do tampons 3-4 times a day, at first 2 times will be enough.

Hemlock - side effects

For any treatment method, the dose should not exceed 90 drops; after this amount, an overdose is inevitable. The following side effects of hemlock are known:

• blurred vision;
• headache;
• burning in the throat;
• chills;
• diarrhea;
• salivation;
• dizziness;
• lethargy;
• vomit;
• nausea.

Then comes ascending paralysis, which begins with numbness of the limbs and rises to the head. If any of the symptoms appear, it is necessary to immediately stop treatment and take the patient to a doctor, indicating the cause of poisoning. Without urgent medical attention, death is likely; it is not for nothing that hemlock grass is on the list of poisonous ones.

Hemlock contraindications

Before starting treatment, a medical consultation is required. It helps to identify other diseases for which the use of the plant is prohibited. Hemlock contraindications:

• renal failure;
• exhaustion of the body;
• arterial hypertension;
• liver diseases;
• epilepsy.

After surgery to remove a cancerous tumor, treatment begins only after 2 weeks. It is forbidden to drink a tincture of the plant during pregnancy - this leads to fetal malformations or miscarriage. Be sure to stop smoking and drinking alcohol. The poison coniine leads to the fact that in combination with nicotine and ethanol, hemlock poisoning occurs.

Alexey Tatarinov

Analyzing the medicinal properties and contraindications of hemlock, one can understand that if the dosage is observed correctly and restrictions on use are taken into account, preparations from this plant have a good therapeutic effect even in cases of serious diseases.

Seed ripening occurs at the end of summer.

Possessing many medicinal qualities known since ancient times, the hemlock plant requires caution in handling, as it is a highly poisonous representative of the flora. The following substances are identified in its composition.

• A fatty oil containing in its structural formula glycerides of two acids – petroselidinic and petroselinic;
• Alkaloids that determine the toxic qualities of hemlock. Coniine has the most powerful toxic properties. Also presented are pseudoconhydrin, methylkoniine, coniceine, and conhydrin. The largest amount of alkaloids is found in fruits and seeds (about 2%). They are found in leaves (≈ 0.1%) and flowers (about 0.24%).
• Caffeic acid.
• Quercetin found in flowers. Has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
• Essential oil.
• Kaempferol, which is part of the flowers. It has a strengthening effect on blood vessels and...

Hemlock grass is harvested during the flowering season. When collecting, be sure to wear rubber gloves to protect yourself from poisoning. The entire aerial part is used for drying and further use in the preparation of medicinal compositions.

What does hemlock cure?

The numerous medicinal properties of hemlock are based on its ability to provide anti-inflammatory, analgesic, immune-strengthening, and anticonvulsant effects.

In the early stages, hemlock is used against cancer due to its antitumor activity. Preparations created from its aerial parts have gained popularity due to a whole range of useful healing qualities:

• allow wounds to heal faster because they have antiseptic properties;
• are effective diuretics;
• relieve nervousness, have a calming effect;
• have a rapid antispasmodic effect.

Among the medicinal properties of hemlock, one should also note its ability to lower blood pressure.

What diseases does it help with?

Treatment with hemlock used in folk medicine allows one to obtain positive results in the following pathological conditions:

• development of benign tumors - fibroids, epithelioma, adenoma, endometriosis, fibroma, mastopathy, etc.;
• epilepsy;
• the occurrence of polyps in the gastrointestinal tract, bladder;
• syphilis;
• dysfunction of the menstrual cycle;

The benefits of hemlock are especially pronounced in situations where it is necessary to reduce pain and eliminate inflammatory processes in osteochondrosis, gout, arthritis, and arthrosis. Preparations based on it can effectively combat many skin lesions.

The use of hemlock has become particularly famous in the development of cancer. This is due to the effect of substances contained in the plant directly on the rapidly growing tumor. Cancer cells are destroyed, the immune system is strengthened, which simultaneously prevents the occurrence of concomitant pathologies.

Folk recipes

Despite the beneficial properties of hemlock, you should not self-medicate. Any preparations using such raw materials should be an integral part of the general therapeutic complex prescribed by a doctor. Without the permission of a specialist, there is a danger of serious negative consequences.

Alcohol tincture

An alcohol tincture of hemlock is prepared from dry or independently collected fresh above-ground parts of the plant.

The effectiveness of hemlock in oncology

Those who have had to deal with this terrible disease have heard most about the miraculous ability of hemlock to help with cancer. However, doctors warn that hemlock cannot be considered an absolute panacea for cancer.

Each drug only helps the body in treatment, mobilizing its own strength to resist the disease. The immune system must actively respond to the invasion of the poison, otherwise the tumor will continue its destructive effect.

When diagnosed with oncology, you cannot completely rely on the help of natural natural remedies. It is important to correctly combine all possible means of treatment, guided by the prescriptions of the attending physician and consultations with a herbalist.

One should not think that hemlock is the only remedy for malignant tumors. In addition to this plant, other inhabitants of the flora help in the fight against this terrible disease, for example, celandine or Djungarian aconite.

Merging aggressive (medical) and gentle (folk) treatment into one process makes it possible to enhance the effectiveness of the course, support the immune system, and alleviate pain.
