Probably, many Russians have heard about such a peculiar representative of the flora as the wolf's bast plant (poisonous). This perennial shrub, whose height in the natural environment usually does not exceed one meter, can be found in the forests of the Russian Federation (Caucasus, Siberia, the European part). In garden and park areas, where the best conditions are created and nothing interferes with growth, the wolf's bark stretches up to two and a half meters.

Description of the plant

Bright red, attractive and appetizing, the egg-shaped fruits of the plant, known by other names - the deadly wolf (or common), wolfberry, are actually not at all suitable for savoring, but, on the contrary, are poisonous.

Wolf's bast feels good in a slightly shaded place, but there should be enough nutrients in the soil. dependingDepending on the area, flowering occurs either in February-March, or in the period from April to May.

The elongated shape of the berries is a distinctive feature of the wolf's bast shrub. A poisonous plant refers to those species whose flowering is ahead of the appearance of leaves. On the still bare twigs in each bosom, where buds were green last year, sometimes three beautiful, pink and fragrant flowers bloom. With their smell, they vaguely resemble hyacinth, and outwardly differ little from lilac branches. The trunk of the shrub is gray-brown.

Dangerous Berry

The plant contains many of these substances, due to which it is extremely poisonous.

If, with the improper use of berries, the surface of the skin has acquired a pronounced red tint, blisters form or the stomach is upset, then meserine resin is most likely to blame. And the appearance of bleeding is provoked by daphrin glycoside. Therefore, we can safely say that the wolf's bast is a deadly poisonous plant.

Therefore, before starting treatment with drugs based on wolf's bast, it is necessary to consult a doctor. In addition to the substances described above, the berries are rich in essential oils and coccognin, and also contain fat. The bark that covers the trunk of the shrub contains wax and resins. Both the fruit and the bark are rich in colorants.

Wolf's bast is a poisonous plant, but despite this, it is often used in folk medicine.

Healingeffect

It is believed that various preparations can be prepared from the plant, which have a laxative and analgesic effect. They can be used to treat epilepsy and insomnia.

The therapeutic effect is usually achieved if the amount of plant components in the preparation is negligible, that is, it is taken in homeopathic doses. Moreover, it is necessary to be careful and follow the instructions of a specialist. The wolf's bast plant (poisonous) is suitable for preparing an infusion, which, when applied externally, greatly alleviates the condition with neuralgia (including the sciatic nerve) and sciatica. This method of treatment is effective in case of edema. The tincture, which is taken internally, will help with outbreaks of dysentery or jaundice, expel colds and sore throats.

Secrets of traditional medicine

Drugs, where the wolf's bast plant (poisonous) is the main component, can fight leukemia and some oncological diseases. Traditional medicine advises preparing tinctures, infusions and decoctions from the bark of this berry as preparations. With their help, the condition is much improved in the case when there is a malignant tumor of the uterus, in the oral cavity, esophagus or larynx.

Rheumatism

It is prepared quite simply: place the bark in a glass jar and pour 0.5 liters of vodka. In two weeks, the miracle cure will be ready. A sign of this will be a yellow-green tincture. The effect of using it with thorough rubbing will be much greater when using tea oil in parallel.

Poisonous plants should be used with caution. The wolf's bark described above is no exception.

Toothache relief

When a tooth (or teeth) aches, just remember the existence of a wolf's bark. From the flowers of the wolfberry, you need to prepare a decoction. Pour 20 milliliters of water, preheated to boiling point, into a container with two grams of flowers. Further, the components are brought to readiness by holding the container over the fire for 20 minutes, after which the contents are filtered, and the remaining cake is squeezed out. The last step is to add boiling water in such an amount that the total volume of the medicine is 250 milliliters. The decoction is taken in the morning, afternoon and evening in a precisely measured dose with a pipette - five drops of the decoction.

Toothache can also be relieved by powdered flowers. It is applied and rubbed into the gum withdisturbing tooth. It is advisable to slightly warm the boiled water and rinse the mouth. Not everyone can properly prepare a wolf's bast (poisonous) plant. That is why doctors are wary of folk recipes in which it is a component.

Plant reviews

Feedback on the effect of the wolf's bark on the human body is positive, but with the obligatory stipulation of strict adherence to the recipes of the drugs produced. For example, a well-known and respected healer in a village near Moscow helped his wife get rid of sleepless nights in the following way:

• should take exactly four grams of wolf bast roots and pour boiling water over them;
• next, keep the container in a water bath for half an hour;
• leave the product for 15 minutes to infuse;
• after straining in the morning and evening, take a decoction, each time measuring it in the amount of one teaspoon.

Many fans of traditional medicine talk about how to effectively overcome overwork. To do this, place one gram of bark or fruit in a container with alcohol taken in a volume of approximately 100 grams (70%) and insist for one week. Two drops of alcohol tincture filtered through cheesecloth are added to a spoonful of water and taken before meals.

Reviews about this plant are left by many connoisseurs of the healing properties of plants. But they always warn that ignorance can be disastrous.

Therefore, it is advisable to put pieces of ice in your mouth for a while. Dikain helps, which is used to treat the mucous membrane. It is recommended to swallow an anesthesin tablet.
