Application of Leonurus in medicine: drug "Pustyrnik Fort" (reviews, recommendations)

Motherwort Motherwort - a medical species related to the genus Motherwort's family Clearcorn, a perennial herbaceous plant. It is widely distributed in Europe, Siberia, Western Asia and the Caucasus. This plant grows usually in open places: along roads, on pastures, river banks and wastelands. For medical use, the tops of the motherwort stems are cut about 30 cm long. They are dried in the shade and stored for no more than three years, using as needed.

Bought in a pharmacy or collected independently herb Leonurus, like all drugs based on it, used for neuroses, increased excitability, hypertension. Folk healers with chronic cough and inflammatory diseases of the respiratory system are also recommended to take Leonurus: the reviews indicate that it alleviates the symptoms of these diseases. Finally, traditional medicine prescribes the reception of the decoction of the motherwort and in case of violations of the menstrual cycle. Prepare it as follows: 4 tbsp. L. Herbs pour a glass of boiling water and insist 15 minutes. After filtering, add water to 200 ml. Recommended dose: adults and adolescents - 1 tbsp. L., children - 1 tsp, three times a day, a quarter of an hour before a meal.

Decoction of Leonurus has a bitter taste - this is due to the presence in it of glycosides, which have a positive effect on the nervous system. In addition to them, the medical effect of motherwort is due to the presence in its juice of essential oils, alkaloids, saponins, vitamins and minerals. Its effect on the body is almost the same as that provided by drugs based on valerian, but it is much stronger.

In addition to herbaceous motherwort, the domestic pharmaceutical industry for many years produced an alcohol tincture based on the extract of this plant. Indications for its use are similar, as well as action on the body. Adults take a motherwort tincture for 30-50 drops 3-4 times a day, children - only on the advice of a doctor.

The Russian company "Evalar", which produces natural medicines, produces tablets (BAA) on the basis of the motherwort - "Motherwort Forte". The feedback on the Internet confirms the effectiveness of this drug: it effectively resists neuroses, improves sleep, helps to keep calm in stressful situations. In addition to the extract of motherwort, it contains vitamin B6 and magnesium - this complex is indispensable for problems with the nervous system.

Many people take this drug on a case-by-case basis, as stressful situations arise. However, in order to achieve a stable, balanced state of the nervous system, doctors recommend a certain course of administration of the drug "Motherwort Forte." The reviews state that the effect of its application in this case is noticeable and sufficiently stable. A specialist can prescribe several courses of this drug for 2-4 weeks each. Between them it is supposed to take a break in a few days.

Receiving tablets, many find more convenient than the use of alcohol tincture, containing motherwort. "Evalar" produces and other sedatives with an extract of this plant. For example, the complex "Milona-8", in addition, contains valerian, peppermint, oregano and lemon balm, as well as horsemeat copulation.
