How to dry?

First, you should remove debris, sort through and discard pieces of the plant affected by pests and diseases. It is best to dry the floor in the shade in the fresh air. You can also place the plant in a well-ventilated, warm and dry room, for example, on a veranda. In addition, half-palm dries well in household electric dryers.

Reference! If the grass is collected on time and properly dried, it retains its beneficial properties for 3 years.

Three million victims in less than four years

In December 1978, Vietnam decided it had enough. Units of the Vietnamese army invaded Kampuchea with the aim of overthrowing the Pol Pot regime. The offensive developed rapidly, and already on January 7, 1979, Phnom Penh fell. Power was transferred to the United Front for the National Salvation of Kampuchea, created in December 1978.

China tried to save its ally by invading Vietnam in February 1979. The fierce but short war ended in March with a tactical victory for Vietnam - the Chinese failed to return Pol Pot to power.

The Khmer Rouge, having suffered a serious defeat, retreated to the west of the country, to the Kampuchean-Thai border. They were saved from complete defeat by the support of China, Thailand and the United States. Each of these countries pursued its own interests - the Americans, for example, tried to prevent the strengthening of pro-Soviet Vietnam’s position in the region, for this purpose preferring to turn a blind eye to the results of the activities of the Pol Pot regime.

And the results were truly impressive. In 3 years, 8 months and 20 days, the Khmer Rouge plunged the country into a medieval state. The protocol of the Commission for the Investigation of Crimes of the Pol Pot regime dated July 25, 1983 stated that between 1975 and 1978, 2,746,105 people died, of which 1,927,061 were peasants, 305,417 workers, employees and representatives of other professions, 48,359 representatives national minorities, 25,168 monks, about 100 writers and journalists, as well as several foreigners. Another 568,663 people were missing and either died in the jungle or were buried in mass graves. The total number of victims is estimated at 3,374,768.

In July 1979, the People's Revolutionary Tribunal was organized in Phnom Penh, which tried the leaders of the Khmer Rouge in absentia. On August 19, 1979, the tribunal found Pol Pot and his closest associate Ieng Sary guilty of genocide and sentenced them to death in absentia with confiscation of all property.

How and why to grow a plant yourself?

This plant comes from the island of Ceylon (Sri Lanka). But it has excellent abilities to get used to the climate, although it remains a lover of moisture and heat. Erva woolly lives less in other climates, but retains its medicinal properties. It is not customary to grow medicinal plants on a windowsill. Separated from daylight with its heat and cold, from the seasons, sometimes they do not take root in the comfort of a living space. The collection purchased at the pharmacy is the result of targeted cultivation. The purchase may be the fruit of friendly international relationships (import-export of herbs). Or is it the result of cultivation in specially created artificial conditions (industrial).

The environmental cleanliness of places where medicinal plants grow, processing technology, and care products are often questioned. How high-quality collection does a person acquire? How often can you find a product shortage? The desire to grow grass yourself is a normal desire to control everything. Each species retains most of its beneficial properties regardless of soil and climate. Through his efforts, a person can change the concentration of substances. If you want to try growing a medicinal plant yourself, you must comply with some conditions:

• make a list of species that you would like to do;
• choose a place (it could be a window sill or a summer house);
• choose soil, lighting, watering, care;
• depending on the species, find a plant with roots, seeds, sprouts and plant;
• draw your own conclusion if a wild plant could not be made cultivated and domesticated.

Half of the fallen grass is germinating from seeds. They can be found inside the purchased pharmacy collection. It takes root well and grows in the conditions of an ordinary summer cottage and does not lose its medicinal properties.

The long-standing tradition of herbalists—people who collect herbs—keeps the collections, but does not grow the plants themselves. They pass on their knowledge by inheritance or the teacher can find a student for himself. When a herbalist prepares a collection, he selects the time of day at which to collect a particular species.

It is logical to assume that at certain times the medicinal properties of plants are different. But there are no studies confirming or refuting the theory that in the morning, after lunch, at sunset or at midnight, the medicinal plant has a special concentration of some substances.

An herbalist is a unique person who knows what millions of plants look like. He can recognize any type and remember recipes.

Where large numbers of people and domesticated animals live, poisonous grass species are destroyed. Herbalists can always determine the harm and benefit of plants and use them for their intended purpose.

It so happened historically that people who were keen on collecting medicinal plants were sometimes subjected to persecution and persecution by government authorities. This was due to the fact that they could break the letter of the law for the sake of the patient. This is how the first operations and abortions were once performed. Herbalists had knowledge of the narcotic properties of plants. Witch doctors were called madmen or sorcerers. The field of medicine has been a priority for clergy and government authorities for many centuries. Although she was not given rest. The methods of ancient people to treat a tooth and decorate it with metal were considered wild, senseless, and too gentle. After all, epidemics once raged, claiming lives in huge numbers.

A real subject did not have time to treat every tooth. People couldn't afford it, and the government didn't allow them to do it. Life expectancy was much lower back then. Herbalists preferred to remain somewhat superstitious, working exclusively with herbs, without taking additional means in their hands in the form of alcohol, gauze, or a scalpel. Having their own traditions, they always loved philosophy. Just yesterday the widespread religiosity of human civilization could have prohibited saving lives. Herbalists were forbidden to express their own views on the structure of the world. Finding no protection, persecuted and persecuted by official science, religion and government authorities, they performed miracles.

Today, an herbalist is a rarity. The traditions of dynasties in the age of world wars have lost their meaning due to the popular tendency to emigrate. Each person can become interested in this again and pass on knowledge to descendants. Herbalists refuse to reveal their secrets to outsiders. Possible reasons for this could be: you really need talent to collect them, you can accidentally pick up a poisonous plant, few people are ready to get to know them on their own.

Leader of the Khmer Rouge

Prince Norodom Sihanouk saw the growing influence of the Cambodian communists as a threat to his own power and began to change his policy, reorienting himself from China to the United States.

In 1967, a peasant uprising broke out in the Cambodian province of Battambang, which was brutally suppressed by government troops and mobilized citizens.

After this, the Cambodian communists launched a guerrilla war against the Sihanouk government. The detachments of the so-called “Khmer Rouge” were formed for the most part from illiterate and illiterate young peasants, whom Pol Pot made his main support.

Very quickly, Pol Pot’s ideology began to move away not only from Marxism-Leninism, but even from Maoism. Coming from a peasant family himself, the leader of the Khmer Rouge formulated a much simpler program for his illiterate supporters - the path to a happy life lies through the rejection of modern Western values, through the destruction of cities that are carriers of a pernicious infection, and the “re-education of their inhabitants.”

Even Pol Pot’s associates had no idea where such a program would lead their leader...

In 1970, the Americans contributed to strengthening the position of the Khmer Rouge. Considering that Prince Sihanouk, who had reoriented towards the United States, was not a reliable enough ally in the fight against the Vietnamese communists, Washington organized a coup, as a result of which Prime Minister Lon Nol with strong pro-American views.

Lon Nol demanded that North Vietnam cease all military activities in Cambodia, threatening to use force otherwise. The North Vietnamese responded by striking first, so much so that they almost occupied Phnom Penh. To save his protege, US President Richard Nixon sent American units to Cambodia. The Lon Nol regime ultimately survived, but an unprecedented wave of anti-Americanism arose in the country, and the ranks of the Khmer Rouge began to grow by leaps and bounds.

Botanical description of Erva woolly

Paul fella and erva woolly are the same plant. The biennial belongs to the Amaranth family. In the wild, the branched bush grows in humid subtropics. Ceylon is considered the birthplace of the plant; today it is cultivated in Ukraine and Georgia.

Erva has a taproot system, a grayish main root and lateral branches. The stems of the erva are rich green, very branched, both creeping and erect (can be different). The grass has elliptical leaves, some leaves can even be called round. They are about 2 cm long and slightly less wide. The flowers are small and inconspicuous with a cream perianth. Flowers form spike-shaped inflorescences.

The herbaceous plant bears fruit, its fruits look like boxes with a long spout. Leaves, seeds, root parts and stems of the plant are used as medicinal raw materials. If you buy the medicine at the pharmacy, it is presented there as mixed raw materials. If you collect the grass yourself, you need to do it in October, at the time of fruiting. Then the erva grows up to 40 cm.

It is recommended to store the collected raw materials in fabric bags in a dry and cool place. The plant should not be stored for longer than three years; it will no longer demonstrate its medicinal properties.

Side effects

The infusion of Erva woolly most often does not cause negative manifestations. With increased sensitization of the body, allergic reactions to the skin, swelling, and itching are possible. In some cases, nausea appears.

It is important to drink the infusion through a straw: a long course of therapy provokes thinning of tooth enamel. After discontinuation of the herbal remedy, the unpleasant symptoms disappear.

You should not combine herbal raw materials and synthetic diuretics that increase potassium excretion.

Pol-pal preparations during pregnancy

Many women during pregnancy encounter certain ailments that cannot be treated with synthetic drugs. Therefore, the question arises whether it is possible to take products based on Erva woolly when you are expecting a child. This should be discussed with your doctor. Only a specialist can take into account the feasibility of such therapy. Indeed, in this case, the state of health of the pregnant woman, the potential threat to the fetus, as well as the degree of the disease and the need for its treatment must be assessed.

The Marxists by royal grant

In 1949, Salot Sar received a government scholarship for higher education in France and went to Paris, where he began to study radio electronics.

The post-war period was marked by a rapid growth in the popularity of left-wing parties and national liberation movements. In Paris, Cambodian students created a Marxist circle, of which Saloth Sar became a member.

In 1952, Saloth Sar, under the pseudonym Khmer Daom, published his first political article, “Monarchy or Democracy?” in a Cambodian student magazine in France. At the same time, the student joined the French Communist Party.

His passion for politics pushed his studies into the background, and in the same year Salot Sara was expelled from the university, after which he returned to his homeland.

In Cambodia, he settled with his older brother, began to seek connections with representatives of the Communist Party of Indochina, and soon attracted the attention of one of its coordinators in Cambodia, Pham Van Ba . Salot Sara was recruited to party work.

Pol-pal lives two years in the wild and one year in cultivated conditions. During this period, the grass has time to:

• grow 140 cm;
• bloom from June until the first autumn frosts;

• take everything you need from the environment with the help of an amazing root about 18 cm in length and about 7 mm in diameter.

The properties that the herb has, the contraindications indicated in the official medical instructions attached to the collection, make us treat the plant with caution.

Still, a surgeon without a scalpel is likely to actually help, if used correctly.

If the stones are unlikely to dissolve and disappear into nowhere, then the sand, from which it all begins, can probably be easily removed with the help of half a stick. Treatment of a disease is a painful process, unlike prevention. Even in ancient times, the formation of stones in various organs of the human and animal body was treated with awe, as a miracle.

There is a horrific ancient tradition of recommending that pregnant women eat small amounts of stones to ease labor pains.

For male and female diseases

Erva is used to treat diseases and disorders of the genitourinary system. To treat prostatitis, prepare a decoction according to the standard recipe: 1 tbsp. per glass of water. Use the drug three times a day.

The minimum therapeutic course is 35 days. Then, after a ten-day break, you can resume treatment. However, it is strongly recommended to consult a urologist before treatment. The plant is very effective for the treatment of gynecological diseases.

Medicines based on this herb help get rid of various formations in the uterus and appendages, such as polyps and fibroids. Pol-pal prevents the degeneration of benign formations into cancerous tumors and accelerates resorption. In addition, it helps get rid of inflammatory processes, regulate the frequency of the menstrual cycle, and ease the appearance of menopause.

It is recommended to take the usual decoction 3 times a day. The duration of therapy is 30 days.

By 1973, when the United States, having decided to end the Vietnam War, refused to further provide military support to the Lon Nol regime, the Khmer Rouge already controlled most of the country. Pol Pot already managed without his comrades in the Communist Party, which was relegated to the background. It was much easier for him not with educated experts in Marxism, but with illiterate fighters who believed only in Pol Pot and the Kalashnikov assault rifle.

In January 1975, the Khmer Rouge launched a decisive offensive against Phnom Penh. The troops loyal to Lon Nol could not withstand the blow of the 70,000-strong partisan army. In early April, American Marines began evacuating US citizens from the country, as well as high-ranking representatives of the pro-American regime. On April 17, 1975, the Khmer Rouge took Phnom Penh.
