Golden mustache: medicinal properties of the plant. Golden mustache: application, recipes and reviews

Description of fragrant callisia

Outwardly, the plant is very similar to corn. At home, its straight fleshy stem, covered with dense leaves pointed at the ends, can reach a height of up to 1 meter. In spring or summer, horizontally located shoots (whiskers) are formed on the plant. They are separated by small purple nodes with a rosette of underdeveloped leaves at the base. In the wild, new daughter plants are obtained from them. It is believed that there should be at least nine such nodes - this significantly increases the healing properties of the golden mustache plant. A photo of him with a mustache is presented below.

It is not at all difficult to grow scented callis at home, since it practically does not need care. The main condition is a spacious container with high-quality soil, a sufficient amount of light and good watering.

Planting and breeding

At home, the plant is grown in two ways: by seed and by dividing the bush.

Seeds

By dividing the bush

Such reproduction is carried out using sprouts, cuttings or rosettes of leaves.

1st method. Be sure to remove the leaves from the bottom of the scion. First, the sprout is immersed in water for 10-15 days until the roots appear. Then they are planted in the ground, but a little deeper than the rest of the flowers (approximately 2 cm from the first leaves). This encourages more roots to grow along the length of the stem, making the plant stronger. It takes root well and takes root quickly. This method is suitable for breeding all year round, but it is still better to do this from March to April - during the growing season.

2nd way. The top with two nodes is separated from the shoot, also removing the lower leaves, and shortening the remaining ones. The stalks are placed 3/4 in water. For the best effect, you can use the Epin growth stimulator. After the formation of roots (after 7-10 days), the golden whisker is planted in the ground.

3rd way. A rosette with leaves, which forms on one of the shoots, is cut off partially with the stem. Then it is placed in a container with a nutrient liquid, as in propagation by a cuttings. After a couple of days, the water must be changed to clean and settled. And after 10 or 15 days, the plant is planted in a pot.

You can also immediately treat the cut of the cutting with "Kornevin", hold it in the fresh air for about two hours and plant it in a container with sufficiently moist soil. Spray the golden mustache with warm water, create a greenhouse effect by closing it with a transparent lid or bag. After 3-4 days, the film is removed and generous watering and spraying is again provided. As soon as the young leaves appear, you can be sure that the flower has taken root.

Important! The plant is considered ripe when 12 joints are formed on the whiskers.

Small white flowers (less than 1 centimeter in diameter) form at the tops of the shoots. They have a pleasant aroma that can be compared to lily of the valley or hyacinth.

Watering and spraying

In the spring and summer period, the golden mustache needs daily watering, but it is important to prevent waterlogging of the soil. In autumn and winter, watering is reduced to 2-3 times a week, but if it is hot in the room, then, on the contrary, it is increased. The soil should be moist, but not waterlogged.

It is recommended to carry out the procedure in the morning.

Leaves need to be sprayed every 2-3 days with warm, settled water in order to wash off the dirt and refresh, and also in hot climates, regularly perform the procedure so that they do not dry out.

Fertilizer

After the development of a strong root system for rapid growth, the plants can be fed with liquid fertilizers. When buying such dressings, you should pay attention to the composition of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

But it does not always bloom and not at all. For this process, he needs to create the ideal care conditions. It seems to many that the flowering of such efforts is not worth it, because the flowers are small, lilac or pink. But it's worth trying, because their aroma is so strong that it compensates for all your troubles.

Crushed bricks can be used. To do this, just break it with a hammer and make your own pieces of the desired shape. Keep in mind that a powerful plant requires a lot of nutrition, so additional nutrients will soon need to be added to the soil. In the spring, nitrogenous fertilizers are needed, during the budding period, phosphorus fertilizers. Better yet, use complex fertilizers.

What does the plant look like in the photo and where did it come from

Mexico is considered the birthplace of a golden mustache or fragrant callisia. This plant was brought to Russia by a botanist, founder of the Batumi Botanical Garden, Andrei Nikolaevich Krasnov. So, from the end of the XIX century the journey of the flower-healer began in our country.

Golden mustache is a herb of the commeline family. Its main shoot in length can reach 2 meters. It also looks like corn. The shape and color of the leaves, their arrangement is very reminiscent of the well-known vegetable, but this is where the similarities end. In addition to the main shoot, the plant produces horizontal layers. This is a mustache, consisting of joints and ending in small rosettes.

An adult becomes a golden mustache when 8 joints appear on its layers

During flowering, the golden mustache throws out a long peduncle with small white and very fragrant flowers. Reproduces by rooting small outlets.

Initially, the plant is called callisia from the commeline family. It has beautiful, shiny leaves. They are a bit like young corn.The inner side is darker with a purple tint. Shoots grow from the sinuses, at the ends of which are rosettes.

Also, at the beginning of treatment, the use of recipes for a golden mustache in a diluted form is recommended.

During treatment with a golden mustache, alcohol, cigarettes, starvation, and the use of vegetable and fruit juices in large quantities are excluded. You also need to limit animal fats, sodas, confectionery, canned food and dairy products. The diet should contain fish products, olive oil, walnuts.

The use of a golden mustache is allowed only after consultation with a herbalist and attending physician. The plant contains medicinal biologically active substances that, at high concentrations, pose a health hazard. Tinctures and decoctions can be prepared from the plant, which are applied both internally and externally. For external use, ointments, creams, balms are prepared.

Helpful advice and diet

For the entire duration of treatment, you must completely stop smoking, because combination with nicotine can cause a strong allergic reaction.

During treatment, you need to follow a vegetable diet, limiting the use of salt, sugar and potatoes. It is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits, herbs, fish, nuts, vegetable oils.

At the same time, it is necessary to exclude from the diet meat products, confectionery, alcohol, sugary carbonated drinks, canned and dairy products.

With diseases of the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, alcohol tincture cannot be taken internally. For treatment, it is advisable to use water decoctions, infusions or oil tinctures.

Side effects

The body of each person is unique and individual, therefore, during treatment, unforeseen side effects may occur:

• severe weakness;
• headache;
• dry cough;
• dry mouth;
• hoarseness of voice;
• swelling of the mucous membranes and nasopharynx;
• rash on the skin.

If you develop one or more of these symptoms, you should immediately stop the treatment you started!

Reproduction

Reproduction problems usually do not occur. This unique plant does not bother flower growers. If you still do not know how to propagate a golden mustache, then this article is especially for you. There are several popular ways:

• The plant propagates by layering. This means that getting planting material will be quite simple. It is enough to ask someone to dig in a twig of an adult plant.
• Sockets. In this case, it will be enough to root the plant in a glass of water and plant it in the ground.
• After flowering, you can collect tiny seeds. But this method is not common among breeders. It is much easier to use cuttings and other ready-made material.

If the plant lives in a spacious pot, then reproduction is easy and simple. To do this, it is enough to add a mustache to the ground. Very soon, white roots will appear on them. Now you need to separate the seedling and move it to a permanent place of residence.

Rooting shoots

Since growing a golden mustache is no problem, even a beginner can handle it. A stalk can be easily obtained from a shoot, which is cut in such a way that each contains 3-4 internodes.

It is important to water the cuttings every day as the soil dries. It is important to ventilate the greenhouse and remove the accumulating condensate. Healthy sockets can simply be left in a glass of water. It needs to be renewed periodically to avoid stem decay. It should be noted that there are usually no big problems with rooting. The plant is very loyal to the skills of a florist and willingly gives roots. The main thing is that the soil is nutritious and moistened in time.

Procurement of raw materials

The mustache of the plant is formed constantly, so you need to monitor it and collect raw materials in time for the preparation of medicinal tinctures. Herbalists recommend using a large mustache. They are richer in nutrients. However, they should be bright purple. That is, a pale, diseased plant that lacks the sun is unable to synthesize all the necessary substances. They are best harvested after a busy growing season. Before preparing the medicinal product, it is recommended to pay attention to the following simple manipulations:

• Place the leaves in a bag and keep them in the vegetable section of the refrigerator for 3 days.
• Plant stems and whiskers must be kept under the same conditions.

This procedure is optional, but the centuries-old experience of herbalists shows that nothing is more important than the little things.

Reviews of people who have used golden mustache for treatment

Evgeniya: “Before, it was impossible to grow flowers on the windowsill. I learned about this unique plant by chance. One branch of a golden mustache also accidentally came to my house. It had long roots, I transplanted the plant into a pot. Provided proper care, it was not difficult. The plant loves light, but it is impossible for the sun's rays to fall on the leaves, because of this, the healing properties are lost. I took the land for seedlings, so that without chemical fertilizers. I use a golden mustache as a lifesaver if I need to quickly get rid of rashes on the lips. As soon as it gets colder, I suffer from herpes. I tried many pharmacy products, but it did not help. This method helps me: I choose a leaf up to 10 cm long, grind it, get juice with pulp, mix in liquid honey. I take 2 parts of juice and 1 part of honey. As soon as I feel itching, I put it on my lips like a balm. Everything goes away in 1 day! And if the rash appears late, it will take longer to heal. "

Marina: “I bought a golden mustache at the market from my grandmother in a pot. She transplanted at home, grew on a light and warm windowsill. All is well, but when the plant reached the age of about 3 months, in the morning I found that the leaves were gnawed by a cat. I believe that in this way the pet gets rid of the worms, because the cat has not been vomiting lately and she feels well. By the way, my cat first gnaws the leaves of the plant in the morning and after a while asks for food. I am still using the flower to get rid of herpes on the lips. "

Lydia: “Recently at work, I had a severe pain in the area of ​​the back under the shoulder blade, I could not raise my hand and breathe in deeply. I went to the hospital, diagnosed with osteochondrosis, prescribed massage, injections, rubbing. The treatment passed, but it did not help me. At work, the employee saw me trying to hold on and brought the ready-made tincture. I rubbed it twice a day into painful places, and soon the pain was gone. If I froze, the pain returned, then I did compresses at night. A colleague taught me how to make the tincture: you need to take 12 joints and grind, 500 ml of vodka, leave for 10 days, then strain and use as directed. If you need to take it orally, then you need to start with 20-25 drops, but no more than a dessert spoon. Now I also have this unique plant at home. "

Benefits for women

Separately, the benefits of the presented plant for women should be considered.

Everything is explained by phytosterols - the presence in the composition of substances that have a positive effect on the production of the female hormone estrogen.

This hormone helps to cure the following gynecological pathologies in women:

• infertility;
• venereal diseases;
• endometritis;
• inflammation of the fallopian tubes;
• erosion of the cervix;
• benign tumors in the breast or genitals - fibroids, polyps, cysts and ovarian fibroids;
• genital herpes;
• vaginal dysbiosis - thrush.

Infusions of the golden mustache and decoctions can be used for douching, making vaginal tampons, for sitz baths.

Soil and nutrient dressings

Loamy soil with slightly acidic PH values ​​is suitable for planting a golden mustache. The soil can be picked up in a specialized store. A universal one will work well. And it is best to prepare the potting mix yourself by mixing the following ingredients:

1. Horse peat.
2. Deciduous humus.
3. River sand.

The soil should be light, nutritious. To prevent moisture from stagnating in the area of ​​occurrence of the roots, 3-4 cm of any drainage material should be laid on the bottom of a wide pot. Ordinary expanded clay, eggshells or pieces of sphagnum will do. Before adding sand, it should be ignited or abundantly spilled with a pink solution of potassium permanganate for disinfection.

Important: do not forget that the soil collected by yourself under the trees can be inhabited by the larvae of harmful insects, which are deadly for the roots of the golden mustache. Hourly roasting in the oven will help solve this problem.

Over time, the soil in the flower pot is depleted and the plant slows down. The golden mustache needs regular nutritional supplements. He responds well to the introduction of organic fertilizers, but this is not always appropriate in an apartment. Therefore, the owners pamper their pets with complex feeding. The main thing is that they contain nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. In winter, it is not required to apply fertilizers more than once a month, and when the golden mustache starts to grow in spring, the amount of fertilizing needs to be increased to once a week.

Preparation of the ointment

Golden Mustache Ointment
To prepare the ointment, take a young mustache and fresh plucked leaves. Everything is finely cut and squeezed out of juice. We take as the main oil component: petroleum jelly, baby cream or internal internal fat (it will need to be melted beforehand). We take 3 parts of cream and 1 part of juice, everything mixes well, store in the refrigerator.

It is used: for ulcers, bedsores, skin inflammation, for the treatment of joints, burns and open wounds. The ointment is smeared with a very thin layer without rubbing.

Chemical composition and biological properties

The scientific name of the Golden Mustache is fragrant callesia. The plant is perennial, evergreen, growing in the form of 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 shoot extends horizontally from the first type. These are the so-called antennae, thanks to which the golden mustache multiplies and got its unofficial name.

Flowers are small, small, emitting a delicate aroma. I must say that plants growing in pots rarely bloom, but this fact does not prevent them from actively reproducing.

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

There is a false opinion among domestic herbalists that when 12 "knees" appear on an additional tendril shoot, then the plant reaches the maximum of medicinal substances. This, of course, is not the case, 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, aromatic callesia cyclically accumulates the maximum amount of nutrients 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 direct chemical composition of the golden mustache, in it, scientists have discovered just a storehouse of the most necessary and useful 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 callesia is beta-sitosterol, which can help fight cancer, as well as diseases of the blood and endocrine system.

Contraindications and overdose

Nature has endowed the golden mustache with unique medicinal and beneficial properties that can help in healing from many ailments, however, this medicinal plant has a number of contraindications.

Therefore, before treatment with preparations of fragrant callis, it is necessary and important to know the contraindications for use and consult your doctor. It is also very important to observe the correct dosage in taking medicines, as this plant is poisonous!
