Golden mustache (fragrant callisia) - Callisia fragrans. Family Commelinaceae.

Rectantera fragrant, Spironema fragrant - this is the scientific name of the plant christened by the people as the Golden Mustache.

This is a perennial herbaceous plant, common in Central and South America and in Mexico. There are 12 species in the genus; only one species is known in cultivation in the warm greenhouses of our country - fragrant Callisia.

For more than a hundred years, Callisia fragrant (Rectantera odorata) has been cultivated as houseplant. In Russia, Callisia has local names: Golden Usher, Far Eastern Usher, Venus's Hair, Living Hair (thin hairs are pulled out when the leaf breaks and, as it were, holds two halves; Dichorisandra does not have this effect), Corn, Homemade Ginseng.

This is a fairly large plant with two types of shoots, some are erect, fleshy, similar in appearance to young corn, from 70 to 150 cm in height, with normally developed leaves 20–30 cm long, 5–6 cm wide, others are horizontal (mustache) with underdeveloped leaves. The mustache consists of “joints”, at the ends of which a leaf panicle is formed.

At good care the plant sometimes blooms. The flowers are small, fragrant in dense bunches, collected in paniculate inflorescences. The smell is pleasant, like hyacinths, hence the name - Callisia fragrant (Rectantera fragrant). The plant becomes medicinal after at least 9 full-fledged “joints” are formed on the liana-like shoots and they acquire a brownish color. purple.

Reproduction and care of the Golden Us plant

The plant is propagated by the apical part of the mustache, which is cut off two joints below the panicle in the middle of the third and placed in a glass of water until roots form, then transplanted into a pot of soil. Most favorable time for breeding March, April, but if necessary, can be propagated all year round.

The Golden Usher plant is a heat-loving plant, loves a bright place, but not straight sun rays. Watering is moderate, especially in winter period, but you can’t let the soil dry out (it’s better to over-moisten than over-dry), otherwise the plant will lose its leaves. The soil should be dense, consisting of turf soil and greenhouse humus with the addition of up to 30% coarse river sand. The stem of the plant is weak and therefore requires support. In the summer, it is good to take the plant out onto the balcony, this will significantly improve the development of the plant. In warm areas, you can plant the plant in summer open ground where it grows well. But do not forget that the plant must be planted so that on a hot afternoon it is in the lacy shade of the trees, and in the evening it is again illuminated by the sun. In open ground, the plant requires more intensive feeding. This is how V. Latokhin from Volgograd describes his successes in growing the Golden Usher plant in open ground:

“It’s not surprising that I decided to grow it at the dacha. The plant reproduces by shoots from the tendrils, which are placed in water. When a sufficient number of white roots appear, the flower can be planted in the ground. But the best specimen is obtained from the crown of the flower, but the amount of stem should be minimal, otherwise the plant will not produce tendrils in the future.

In April, having fertilized the soil properly (a bucket of rotted manure, half a bucket of ash), I planted three flowers. I watered it every evening, given the Volgograd heat. The plants took off well, I even had to put up folders, as the mustaches turned out to be thick and greasy. Over the summer I harvested three crops of mustaches.”

Sometimes the tips of the leaves turn brown and begin to wither, but the whiskers, having reached the healing age (9 joints), remain green.

The appearance of the above signs on the tips of the leaves indicates improper care: lack of mineral nutrition or intense solar radiation and insufficient watering, which should be done in the evening. At the same time, the lack of sunlight does not allow the production of a healing enzyme in the mustache and stem, a sign of which is the coloring of the mustache and stem in a brown-violet color. To provide the plant with the necessary development regime, you need to periodically shade it or, conversely, expose it to the sun (but not on a hot afternoon). During the period of intensive growth, feed the plant with complex fertilizers for indoor flowers, and when growing in open ground, it is good to feed the plant with a mixture of ash and rotted manure. Keep the soil slightly moist, and in winter, when the plant enters a dormant state, even slightly dry.

Use of the golden mustache plant for various diseases

Unfortunately, we remember the great healing power of Nature too late, when the thunder strikes. While a person is young and energetic, he has no time for flowers and herbs; life is full of worries, problems and vanity. So let's take care of our health in advance.

The golden mustache has high healing properties, and it could be called the Elixir of HEALTH. But its unique properties are revealed especially clearly in complex therapy, i.e. in combination with other medications. Acting on the body indirectly as a biogenic stimulant, it thereby creates a high therapeutic effect in the treatment of many diseases.

This is the best plant for treatment chronic pancreatitis. It also stimulates the immune system well. Promotes the education of killer cells, thereby helping the body successfully fight pathogenic microflora. As a result of the healing of the body, pain disappears, the function of the pancreas, spleen, and adrenal cortex is restored. Inflammation of the gallbladder goes away and biliary tract, stomach, small intestine. The acid-base composition of the gastrointestinal tract (hereinafter referred to as the gastrointestinal tract) is normalized, and toxins are removed from the body. In asthmatics, the viscosity of sputum is restored, hypersecretion and swelling of the bronchial mucosa are reduced, which improves function pulmonary artery, all this improves dramatically general condition patients and often leads to complete recovery from bronchial asthma.

When using the Golden Mustache in medicinal purposes, the beneficial effect of taking drugs from the Golden Usa on thyroid gland. The juice of the plant has high wound-healing properties; it can be called fabulous “living water.” He heals well skin diseases: lichens, ulcers, wounds, burns (daily applications with a cotton swab soaked in pure or diluted juice from the plant’s tendrils, but in no case compresses and be careful about contact with mucous membranes - see contraindications).

The plant also has a very inexplicable property that a decoction of the leaves in a closed bottle indoors does not sour for months or even years. The conclusion suggests itself that the plant must have high disinfectant properties. However, under experimental conditions at the Department of Immunology, neither the decoction of the plant nor the juice squeezed from the mustache had any suppressive effect on various types of pathogenic microflora, but when treating infected wounds, the juice of the Golden Mustache has excellent disinfecting and healing properties. There is only one conclusion: this happens only through stimulation of the body’s immune system by the Golden Mustache.

Contraindications when taking the Golden Usher plant

Always strictly follow the dosages given in the recipes; do not try to experiment on yourself; as a rule, this leads to disastrous results. You can get poisoned from ordinary water - a bucket of water drunk within two hours leads to death.

The body's reaction to an overdose medicines, obtained from various parts of the Golden Mustache, which is allowed by individual zealous patients.

The most dangerous drug in this regard is one prepared from the trunk of a plant. A decoction of one or two crushed joints of the trunk in 0.5 liters of water, when taken 50-100 g per dose 3 times a day, in the first days gives the patient a pleasant feeling of warmth spreading throughout the body, the state of health and general tone dramatically improves. But after 7 days, when a gradual accumulation of the drug occurs in the body, a so-called overdose occurs, health deteriorates sharply, this especially often happens in patients with liver disease and a spring-summer allergic reaction to flowering plants. Patients develop headaches, dark vision, swelling of the throat and increased thyroid gland, severely damaged vocal cords, the voice “settles” and its restoration is difficult. After some time (1–2 weeks), the body, unable to remove the resulting homotoxin through the liver, begins to “drive” it through the skin. Most often, it appears in the abdominal area severe itching, in its place, weeping eczema appears, which is difficult to treat. At the first signs of an overdose, start taking enterosorbent and homeopathic medicines Sulfoderm and Normagast according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Treatment with the Golden Mustache

From the trunk of the Golden Mustache plant, only an alcohol extract is prepared (4–6 joints per 0.5 liter of strong moonshine or 70 alcohol), used for rubbing for joint pain and osteochondrosis.

A tincture is prepared from the purple mustache for oral administration, with malignant neoplasms and bronchial asthma (20–30 joints per 0.5 liter of vodka, leave for 14 days, take from 1 to 40 and from 40 to 1 drops per course, take 3–5 courses in total with a ten-day break. In some patients with bronchial asthma and oncology There is a decreased sensitivity to the alcoholic extract from the Golden Usher plant. In such patients, taking a teaspoon of the tincture, or even a dessert spoon, not only did not cause negative manifestations, but, on the contrary, led to a sharp improvement in health. However, all these patients who spent it on themselves. this experiment, they note that such intensive use should not exceed three weeks, after which you need to take a week-long break, during which you need to drink enterosorbent. After the break, they, as a rule, switched to the standard intake of Golden Us tincture.

Taking a decoction of the leaves, according to observations over 20 years, has never caused any side effects, but has only shown excellent healing properties for all gastrointestinal diseases.

Apply leaves to large open wounds when healing trophic ulcers, for deep burns on long time not recommended. Despite the fact that in the first two days there is a significant improvement in the condition of the wound surface, but then, after 3-5 days, an allergic reaction occurs, sometimes very strong. It is better to use diluted mustache juice for these purposes. boiled water 1:3, 1:5.

From all of the above, only one conclusion can be drawn: the medicinal component of the Golden Mustache plant is in a very concentrated form (especially the stem), and preparations prepared from various parts of the plant must be used strictly in dosages.

And lastly, the most important instruction: before using the tendrils or stem of the Golden Whisker plant in medicine, they must be kept in the freezer at t = 2–4 ° C, packaged in food grade polyethylene for two weeks. The leaves are plucked from the growing plant as needed and kept in the refrigerator for only 3 days and then brewed.

It is not only medicinal that grows in fields and in protected places. Take a closer look! Natural healers grow on windowsills like ordinary indoor flowers. And it's not just aloe or. There is another plant - golden mustache. Although indoor gardeners are more familiar with it under a different name - Venus hair or fragrant callisia.

Getting to know the plant

Admit it, who has a golden mustache flower growing at home? His photo is definitely familiar to you. This is a plant with creeping shoots. In nature, its height reaches 2 meters. At home it grows up to 1 meter. Fragrant callisia has long and wide leaves that are similar in appearance to corn leaves. These leaves are located on a vertical stem, from which there are tendrils - geniculate shoots. At the ends of the antennae there are rosettes of small leaves. Antennae appear again from the rosettes, and rosettes again form at the ends.

It was these tendrils that gave the plant its name. And the golden mustache is very much valued by folk healers, the medicinal properties and contraindications of which have been studied for decades.

When exposed to direct sunlight, green leaves change color and become reddish. The plant rarely blooms, but when this happens, the golden mustache looks very beautiful: massive main leaves and suddenly it shoots out branches strewn along the entire length with small translucent flowers with white petals. And these flowers smell very nice.

Because of this aroma and the size of the leaves, you will not confuse the fragrant callisia with its namesakes: graceful callisia and creeping callisia. The first has small leaves with white longitudinal stripes and grows on long stems. The second has even smaller leaves, similar to a heart.

We need exactly the golden mustache; its use has been known since the 80s of the last century. And the plant came to us from South America.
