Maclura
Orange or apple-bearing maclura (lat. Maclura pomifera) - species fruit trees Mulberry family (Moraceae). Folk names Maclures - Adam's apple, false orange, Chinese orange, lady's tree.
Deciduous, dioecious tree, up to 20 m tall, with a highly branched, dense, spreading crown. With a slender trunk covered with dark brown, fissured bark.

The branches are geniculate-curved, the shoots are strongly spiny (have a spineless shape, inermis), spines up to 2.5 cm long are located in the axils of the leaves. Leaves are 12 x 7.5 cm, alternate, ovate, with a sharp apex, entire, dark green, shiny, lighter on the underside. In autumn the leaves turn golden yellow.

The flowers are small, light green: staminate - collected in earrings, pistillate - in compact spherical heads.

It is spectacular during the fruiting period, when large, up to 15 cm in diameter, wrinkled orange or yellow-green fruit, resembling an orange in shape and color, abundantly decorate the tree. The collected fruits have long term storage (about six months). Grows quickly.

The tree comes from North America, from the mulberry (mulberry) family. The fruits are wrinkled, orange-shaped, 7-15 cm in diameter, light green in color, ripen in October. Introduced plantings are found in the south of Russia, Ukraine, and Central Asia.
The tree is light-loving, drought-resistant and heat-resistant. Scientists have identified 12 types of maclura, none of them are edible, but the plant is used quite often as a medicine.

IN official medicine the tree has not been studied enough, but is mentioned as a source of valuable useful substances. When cut with a knife, a sticky liquid is released - this is a milky sap with which all parts of the plant are literally saturated. Maclura milky juice contains many cyclic triterpene alcohols in the form of fatty acid esters. This class of biologically active substances, widely distributed in flora, include sterols, bile acids, saponins. The total content of triterpenoids in maclura infructescences during the period of milky ripeness reaches 4%. Chemical composition The fruits are very diverse, but there are many similar substances as in mulberry. However, the fruits of maclura are inedible.

The fruits contain a lot of sugars, pectin substances up to 10%, and the leaves contain almost 13% citric acid. Seeds - small nuts located inside the fruit, contain almost 30% fatty acids. But most valuable substances Maclures can be considered flavonoid compounds. This group of substances is similar in structure to P-vitamin. In fact, these are powerful antioxidants that have anti-sclerotic and anti-carcinogenic properties, which are so needed modern people. IN the greatest number flavonols contain kaempferol - up to 1.2%. It is these substances that have a yellow-orange (orange) color. IN large quantities(about 6%) also contain isomeric flavonoid compounds - isoflavones. Of these, the majority is osain. Like many polyphenols with P-vitamin activity, they strengthen blood vessels and capillaries. Moreover, osain is much more effective than the well-known rutin. It is not surprising that a flavonoid preparation isolated from maclura fruits can be widely used as an effective cardiovascular drug. Unfortunately, there are still no enthusiasts to create, test and organize the production of maclura preparations.
I would like to draw attention to polyphenolic substances, which are recent years are increasingly considered not only as anti-sclerotic, but also anti-carcinogenic. The class of these substances is very diverse, but among them there are also those that are tens and hundreds of times higher than the activity of vitamin P (rutin), vitamins E and C, that is powerful antioxidants. Many antioxidants also have good preventive anti-cancer properties. However, many researchers believe that among these substances it is possible to find and isolate particularly active substances that would have not only preventive, but also medicinal properties for cancer.

Maclura - Adam's apple, has an excellent ability to inhibit the growth of cancer cells.

For this purpose, you need to prepare a tincture that can be used both externally and internally. For one Adam's apple, take half a liter of vodka. Place the whole maklura fruit in a glass jar, without cutting it, and fill it with vodka. Close the jar with a tight lid and leave for two months until the fruit is completely soaked. Of course, you can reduce the infusion time of the plant to two weeks by cutting it into pieces, but then the Adam's apple will oxidize and the tincture will be less effective. At oncological diseases internal organs The tincture is taken starting with 2 drops 3 times a day before meals. Daily adding 2 drops of tincture per day, bring the dose of medication to 30 drops at a time. Before taking, the tincture should be diluted with water: up to 10 drops - 1 tablespoon, up to 20 drops - two spoons, up to 30 drops - diluted with 50 ml of water. Having reached 30 drops, we reduce the dosage per reverse order, every day reducing 2 drops of medicine. We bring the norm to two drops per dose. Afterwards you need to take a break for two weeks and repeat the course again. Continue treatment for at least six months. In particular advanced cases, start taking maclura tincture with 3 drops, adding 3 drops every day, and increase the intake of the mixture to 40 drops at a time. Then reduce the dosage in the reverse order.

You can also prepare an ointment from maclura, which is effective in treating inflamed lymph nodes, sprained muscles and joints, and osteochondrosis. To do this, mix the finished tincture with melted pork fat at the rate of 0.5 liters. tinctures 1 kg visceral fat. Stir the mixture well, place in a glass or enamel bowl, cover with a lid and place in the refrigerator. Before use, keep for some time at room temperature so that the ointment softens slightly. The ointment can be applied as applications to the affected area, applying a small amount to the tissue. You can use the ointment as a rub on the damaged area. After rubbing the ointment, the patient should be covered with a warm blanket.

However, it should be remembered that the maclura plant is poisonous and should be used with caution. If symptoms of poisoning appear: shortness of breath, nausea, weakness, dizziness, treatment with this drug should be discontinued.

I would also like to emphasize that there is not so much experience in using the Adam’s apple in medicine, as well as proven folk recipes using this fruit. So, for example, I think the advice to instill oil infused with Adam’s apple into the ear should be treated with greater caution. Pregnant women and nursing mothers with pathological stagnation of milk in the mammary glands are strictly prohibited from using this drug neither internally nor externally. Do not self-medicate, always consult a doctor and use proven folk recipes.
