Physalis: useful properties and basic characteristics

Most plants are famous for their useful properties. However, not all of us know which plants and cultures are useful to us, and what kind of benefits they bring to us. Many of them are simply unknown to a wide range of people due to various reasons. One of such little-known plants is physalis. The beneficial properties of its fruits are widely known in South America, because it is this continent that is its homeland. If you believe the legend, for the first time the plant began to grow the Incas (one of the names of the Physalis - the Yagoda of the Incas), and only in the middle of the 19th century South America got acquainted with the Golden Berry (under that name you too can meet the Physalis) due to the fact that the English settlers delivered it there.

About what is useful physalis, we will tell in more detail in view of the fact that the population of the Slavic countries is familiar with the plant very superficially, and even is not familiar at all. It will be useful to note that the physalis has both edible and poisonous forms. As a rule, we only get an edible look, a dried Golden Berry, so there's nothing to worry about. However, the fact that met in the nature of physalis, you should be careful.

The Inca berry is rich in fructose and glucose, which distinguishes it from other vegetables (physalis is referred to as vegetables). Physalis, whose useful properties also consist in the presence of a large amount of iron and pectin, stimulates hemoglobin and removes poisons and toxins from the body.

Naturally, physalis, whose benefits are most palpable when eaten raw, is not an exception to other fruits and vegetables. Residents of almost all countries see this vegetable in a dried or conserved form, which significantly reduces the level of its beneficial properties. But even in this form, its usefulness is also considerable, and the physalis, which is converted or from which the jam is brewed, acquires an original flavor and smack. Each of us can also plant a physalis, whose useful properties can exceed the properties of domestic vegetables, in his garden or dacha. In this case, you can try its fruits in fresh form, and also dry or conserve.

Since the plant is grown for several decades, people have followed certain health improvements after ingesting physalysis. So, this fruit regulates the amount of bile in the body, and also stimulates the withdrawal of excess fluid from the body. This helps in the prevention of nephrolithiasis and the deposition of salts. However, the physical one, whose useful properties consist not only in prevention, also contributes to the removal of those salt accumulations that have already formed stones.

In addition to the above, the plant has anti-inflammatory and sedative characteristics. So, if you have caught a cold or in your body there is a hotbed of inflammation, eat the physalis, but, preferably, in a raw form.

Also, the fruits of the physalis are very useful when you need to quickly restore the body's vitamin reserve. Earlier, when medicine had not yet practiced the production of vitamin complexes, the Golden Berry was recommended to be consumed constantly.

Of the physiological make ointments that heal wounds and are used in the treatment of rheumatism. In addition, physalis is the only vegetable that helps the body to fight radiation sickness and to resist its occurrence.

Useful properties of the plant are also that it is useful for diabetics, people who underwent surgery, and also for those who suffer from regular increases in blood pressure.

However, when using this vegetable as a natural medicinal product, you should consult your doctor to avoid deterioration.
