Golden mustache: medicinal properties and contraindications, vodka tincture, application

Chemical composition and biological properties

The scientific name of the Golden Whisker is callisia fragrant. The plant is a perennial, evergreen, growing as a grass with two types of shoots. One type of shoots looks like long, sometimes up to two meters, fleshy, juicy, erect, dark green stems with a purple tint.

Elongated cone-shaped leaves up to 40 centimeters long grow on the shoots. Another type of shoots extends horizontally from the first type. These are the so-called antennae, thanks to which the golden mustache reproduces and received its unofficial name.

The flowers are small and emit a delicate aroma. It must be said that plants growing in pots rarely bloom, but this circumstance does not prevent them from actively reproducing.

Absolutely all parts of the plant contain very useful substances that have healing properties and are actively used for medicinal purposes.

Among home herbalists, there is a false opinion that when 12 “knees” appear on an additional tendril shoot, then the plant reaches its maximum medicinal substances. This, of course, is not true; both young and adult golden mustache have beneficial properties to the same extent.

The only condition is that in the fall, like many other plants, fragrant callisia cyclically accumulates the maximum amount of useful substances in its leaves and shoots. But this is due to the life cycle of nature and the preparation of the plant for winter.

As for the chemical composition of the golden mustache itself, scientists have discovered in it a storehouse of the most necessary and beneficial substances for human health:

saponins;
glucosides;
phytosterols;
pectins;
alkaloids;
tannins;
flavonoids - quercetin and kaempferol;
phytoncides;
macro and microelements - chromium, copper, sulfur, iron, nickel, potassium, calcium, manganese and others, B vitamins;
catechins.

One of the most important substances in callisia is beta-sitosterol, which can help fight cancer, as well as diseases of the blood and endocrine systems.

Golden mustache - a natural healer

The leaves and stems of this wonderful plant contain a unique composition with an amazing healing effect. The healing properties of the golden mustache amaze with its power and versatility in application; it is successfully used in folk medicine to cure many ailments.

Biphenols, which are found in all parts of the plant, cope with pathogenic organisms.

As already mentioned, the anti-cancer effect is achieved through the action of beta-sitosterol, which can act on body tissues like hormones.

Chromium is found in the leaves, affects metabolism, especially carbohydrate metabolism, and is involved in regulating blood sugar levels. And the lack of the required amount of chromium can lead to the development of pathology of the heart and blood vessels, and even provoke the development of diabetes.

Copper and sulfur are also essential microelements for the body. Copper at the biochemical level ensures normal levels of hemoglobin in the blood and harmonious metabolism. Sulfur, in turn, has a beneficial effect on skin and hair, and can resist infectious diseases and radiation exposure.

Golden mustache remarkably increases the level of natural protection and has a general tonic effect on the body. It is noteworthy that due to its destructive effect on the diaphoretic microflora, products prepared on its basis do not spoil for a long time and can be stored for quite a long time at room temperature.

Phytohormones have a beneficial effect on the epidermis and promote the healing of minor wounds and scratches. They can also enter into close interaction with the cells of the body and activate the enzymatic system. As a result, cells divide faster and wounds heal faster, and the overall condition of the skin becomes noticeably better. There is another effect of phytohormones; they stimulate protein synthesis.

As you know, proteins are the building materials for our body; proteins are actively involved in the regulation of many important processes in the body. This ensures the anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effect of the golden mustache.

There are a number of pathological conditions in which the use of a golden mustache is justified:

diseases of the stomach and intestines;
diseases of the circulatory system;
metabolic disorders, including diabetes and obesity;
diseases of the joints and musculoskeletal system;
lesions of the skin of infectious origin;
diseases caused by immunosuppression.

What diseases does the golden mustache treat?

It's no secret that our ancestors used the beneficial properties of plants to get rid of many diseases. Some plants and recipes for the preparation of medicinal compositions are successfully used in folk medicine to this day. Golden mustache or fragrant callisia is one of them. Many people have it growing on their windowsill and not everyone knows about its enormous benefits.

The healing properties of the plant have been known since the times of the Mayan Indians, and it came to our country from Mexico and Guatemala, where it grows mainly in the wild. But, despite the fact that in Russia the golden mustache is, in most cases, a houseplant, its benefits do not decrease.

We prepare raw materials

The plant acquires its medicinal properties when its shoots change color, become darker and form at least 6 joints or nodes. However, we must remember that not the entire bush is suitable for preparing medicine. First of all, stems and leaves cut at the base of the rosettes are used. The time of year also plays a role.

Another negative effect is damage to the vocal cords, which is especially often observed when the recommended doses or time of use are exceeded: hoarseness, soreness of the cords. Recovery is very long, so at the first symptoms you should stop taking the plant's preparations.

Reviews

Marina, 38 years old

To be honest, I never thought that medicinal plants were some kind of panacea that could cure everything. However, I periodically use the golden mustache and see the results. When the cough is severe and the sputum does not come out, I take a chest mixture and add a golden mustache to it. I take this decoction half an hour before meals, about just a tablespoon. After 5-7 days the condition improves significantly. As for other treatment options and the use of the plant, I have not tried anything yet. But I think it wouldn’t hurt to drink it for your immunity.

Irina, 29 years old

My story may seem unreal to many, but it is true. My mother always grew medicinal plants. Then it gives something back, but as for the golden mustache and aloe, they never leave the windowsill. If there are any scratches, wounds, or other problems we use them. One day I cut my finger badly. Honestly, I think it was even necessary to go to the hospital and stitch it up. But my mother insisted that I need to attach a piece of golden mustache and wrap it up. Several days passed and guess what, the wound began to heal. It's actually amazing.

Natalya, 43 years old

Sciatica is my main headache. The lower back hurts terribly and sometimes nothing helps at all. An ointment made from golden mustache becomes a real salvation. In the morning and evening I rub it into my back, then I wrap myself in a woolen scarf and lie there for half an hour. A few days of this treatment and for a couple of months I completely forget about the unpleasant sensations. I can’t help but note that the plant helps with coughs. In general, now I don’t buy any expensive products at the pharmacy, I just don’t see the point in them.

Elena, 36 years old

For a long time I couldn’t do anything about the heel spur. I bought all sorts of ointments at the pharmacy, and the cost of some was simply astronomical. I did compresses and lotions, but there was no result. Anyone familiar with the problem probably understands me and knows how it interferes with life, because you can’t even step on your foot fully. And then the grandmother advised me to use a golden mustache. She gave me a tincture and also made compresses from the leaves. A little time passed and everything returned to normal. So far I am in remission, but I hope that the disease will not bother me anymore.

Ekaterina, 41 years old

As soon as an attack of osteochondrosis begins, I immediately take the tincture of the golden mustache. Previously, I didn’t give preference to traditional medicine at all, but when nothing else helps, there is no choice left. I simply rubbed an ointment based on the plant into my back for a couple of days and there was no trace of pain left.

Lyudmila, 51 years old

I’ve recently been unemployed and now I’m sitting at home. Since I have a lot of free time, I decided to start growing plants. The first thing I planted was a golden mustache. I know a lot about its beneficial properties. My grandmother and I always used it to treat various ailments. What can I say, callisia is actually unpretentious. No special conditions are needed; it grows like other flowers. I haven’t used it to treat diseases yet, but I make decoctions and rinse my hair. Previously, they fell out a lot and dandruff bothered me, but now there is no trace of the problem. In general, I will continue to try, and maybe I’ll start taking it internally.

Ekaterina, 34 years old

We have been growing golden mustache for several years. During this time, the plant helped more than once, for which we are very grateful. We have not treated any diseases with it. For example, it was possible to increase immunity, reduce hair loss, and cope with hemorrhoids. I made a tonic and wiped my face with it. I don’t know, maybe it’s some kind of miracle, but the pigmentation has disappeared and expression lines have actually become less pronounced. We will definitely continue to use its strength.

Growing a golden mustache

Golden mustache is unpretentious and grows well on windowsills in the house. For propagation, cuttings or horizontal shoots of the plant are taken. They are cut off and left in water. After some time, roots appear. After the roots appear, you can plant fragrant callisia in the ground.

This type of flora is afraid of bright sunlight. In direct sunlight, the leaves darken and crumble.

If you regularly water and fertilize this cute medicinal plant, then in a very short time you will have a real home healer on your windowsill.

In the summer, golden mustache can be planted in open ground, and in the fall, purple shoots can be cut off for propagation and preparation of medicines.

We must remember that shoots with many purple “knees” have a healing effect, which means that the plant is mature. The leaves, on the contrary, can be used to treat young, immature plants.
