Helichrysum arenarium

Helichrysum arenarium is also known as dwarf everlast, and as immortelle - a perennial herb, a species of the genus Cmin (Helichrysum) of the family Asteraceae. The hard scales of the inflorescence wrapper do not fade and do not lose color even when the inflorescences are cut off - hence the name of the plant immortelle. Popular names: cat’s paws, golden leaf, solar gold, dried flowers, Bogorodskaya grass, gray flowers, flea beetles, gingerbread, wild sheep, etc. Natural area - almost the entire territory of Europe and Central Asia. In Russia, it is found in the European part, Western Siberia, in the Caucasus. Occurs on dry sandy, as well as sandy loam and stony soils, salt marshes, fields, on hillsides, in light forests (especially pine), in steppes and semi-deserts, on steppe meadows, chalk outcrops and dunes. Loves dry sandy soil. Doesn’t tolerate complete shading. The immortelle has antibacterial activity, which is associated with the presence of resin acids. Herbal preparations of the plant improve bile secretion, stimulate the synthesis of bile acids from cholesterol, increase the content of cholates and bilirubin in bile. Immortelle preparations increase the cholesterol coefficient, thus reducing the lithogenicity of bile and gently increasing the tone of the gallbladder. Helichrysum extract has an antispasmodic effect on the smooth muscles of the intestines, bile ducts, gall bladder and blood vessels. These properties are due to the presence of flavonoid compounds in the plant. In addition, it suppresses the growth of staphylococci and streptococci, stops vomiting and nausea, relieves the heaviness “in the stomach“, pain in the gallbladder. In folk medicine, sandy immortelle is used for gastritis, constipation, colitis, it is used as a hepatic agent, for the regulation of bile formation and biliary excretion, the prescription of immortelle preparations is justified in the initial stages of gallstone disease. Infusion, dry extract, flamin and ziflan preparations are obtained from raw materials, used as choleretic agents for acute and chronic diseases of the liver, gallbladder and biliary tract, as well as for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys. Insecticide, it can be used to protect clothing from moths. Ornamental plant. It is used to create dry bouquets. Since the dried sandy immortelle plants do not change their shape or color for years, they were placed between the windows for the winter as a memory of summer. The resinous substance contained in all parts of the plant contains the antibiotic arenarin, which suppresses bacteriosis in cultivated plants. Grass can dye fabrics yellow. The amount of nectar in the inflorescence does not exceed 0.5 mg in favorable years, however, flowers are eagerly visited by bumblebees, bees and flies. Helichrysum preparations are low-toxic, however, with prolonged use, they can cause congestion in the liver. Helichrysum arenarium 也被稱為矮永遠的，和蠟菊 - 一種多年生草本植物，是菊科 Cmin（蠟菊）屬的一種。 即使花序被切斷，花序包裝紙的堅硬鱗片也不會褪色並且不會褪色 - 因此植物蠟菊的名稱。 俗名：貓爪、金葉、太陽金、乾花、Bogorodskaya草、灰花、跳蚤、薑餅、野羊等。 自然區——幾乎是歐洲和中亞的全境。在俄羅斯，它位於歐洲部分、西西伯利亞、高加索地區。 發生在乾燥的沙地、沙質壤土和石質土壤、鹽沼、田野、山坡、淺林（尤其是松樹）、草原和半沙漠、草原草甸、白堊露頭和沙丘上。喜歡乾燥的沙質土壤。不容忍完全陰影。 蠟菊具有抗菌活性，這與樹脂酸的存在有關。 該植物的草藥製劑可改善膽汁分泌，刺激膽固醇合成膽汁酸，增加膽汁中膽酸鹽和膽紅素的含量。蠟菊製劑增加膽固醇係數，從而降低膽汁的成石性並溫和地增加膽囊的張力。蠟菊提取物對腸、膽管、膽囊和血管的平滑肌具有解痙作用。這些特性是由於植物中存在類黃酮化合物。 此外，它抑制葡萄球菌和鏈球菌的生長，停止嘔吐和噁心，減輕“胃”的沉重感，膽囊疼痛。 民間醫學中，石蠟用於治療胃炎、便秘、結腸炎，入肝入藥，調節膽汁形成和膽汁排泄，在膽石症初期開用石蠟製劑方為合理。 輸液、幹提取物、火龍素和ziflan製劑由原料製成，用作肝、膽和膽道急慢性疾病以及胃腸道和腎臟疾病的利膽劑。 殺蟲劑，可用於保護衣物免受飛蛾侵害。 觀賞植物。它用於製作乾花束。由於乾燥的沙質蠟菊植物多年不改變它們的形狀或顏色，它們被放置在窗戶之間過冬，作為夏天的記憶。 植物各部分所含的樹脂物質含有抗生素阿瑞那林，可抑制栽培植物中的細菌病。 草可以將織物染成黃色。 花序中的花蜜&am
