Description of the medicinal properties of the Tatar quinoa

The Tatar quinoa is endowed with very valuable healing properties, while it is recommended to use the herb and seeds of this plant for therapeutic purposes. The concept of grass includes flowers, stems and seeds of the Tatar quinoa.

For jaundice and as a diuretic, it is recommended to use the following remedy based on Tatar quinoa: to prepare such a healing agent, it is recommended to take twenty grams of dry crushed leaves of this plant per two hundred milliliters of water. The resulting mixture should be boiled over a fairly low heat for about three to four minutes, after which this mixture is left to infuse for about two hours, and then such a healing mixture based on Tatar quinoa should be filtered very carefully. Take the resulting healing agent based on the Tatar quinoa about three to four times a day, one to two tablespoons. It is important to remember that in order to ensure the greatest effectiveness when taking a healing agent based on the Tatar quinoa, it is recommended not only to strictly follow all the rules for preparing such a therapeutic agent, but also to carefully follow all the rules for taking this remedy based on the Tatar quinoa.

There are about 200 species of quinoa, which are common in the temperate and subtropical zones. These are herbs, shrubs and shrubs with alternate leaves, often covered, like the stems, with powdery coating. Flowers in glomeruli, forming spike-shaped or paniculate inflorescence. In Russia, the most common spear-shaped quinoa, shiny, sprawling, Tatar. All annuals. Row and grain crops, orchards, vineyards, and vegetable gardens are littered everywhere. Sometimes they form whole thickets. Often, plants from the genus Mari are called quinoa.

People say, "The quinoa is a disaster for crops," since this plant is the most common garden and field weed. There are sayings about this in Dahl's dictionary. For example, this: "They sowed rye, and we mowed quinoa." Indeed, it is rare to find a garden where at least one bush of a quinoa or its closest relative, mari, would not be caught among the beds.

The popular name of the quinoa - goose foot - corresponds to its appearance, since the leaves really resemble a goose foot in outline. In the past, quinoa was pressed, dried in rows, then threshed. So they stocked up on seeds that are very similar to poppy seeds. The threshing was steamed, dried, ground and only then added to the flour. Although the plant is considered an evil weed, the benefits of it in the economy are considerable. So, the quinoa is fed to livestock, its tender spring shoots can be added to salads to enrich them with vitamins. The plant can be attributed to honey plants, since in summer it helps out bees, "feeding" them during the entire period of pollen deficiency (after the spring honey plants have faded and before the summer ones bloom).

Shoots of quinoa appear throughout the summer. In the soil, especially in a weedy area, there are several thousand seeds per square meter, and at the same time every second seed turns out to be a quinoa seed.

Quinoa seeds have a fairly long "shelf life", they can lie in the ground for 5-6 years without losing their germination. In water, quinoa seeds remain alive for 32 months, as their shell is waterproof. The fecundity of the quinoa is enormous - up to 100 thousand seeds from one plant.
