White acacia - medicinal properties and contraindications of robinia
There is such a fascinating direction in alternative medicine - florotherapy, flower treatment. This is when flowers of a certain size, scent, color are cut and placed in the patient’s room so that they can inhale the aroma, admire it and get better. But there is one wonderful flower; in matters of therapy, it will give odds to any fragrant flowerbed. This is white acacia, the medicinal properties and contraindications of which are very versatile. It heals not only by smell and sight, but also by taste. With its infusions, decoctions, and also delicious acacia honey, transparent and pure, like a mountain stream...
Guest from North America, or False Acacia the First
The sweet, warm and sensual aroma of white acacia cannot be forgotten by anyone who has ever inhaled it on a fresh May day. But here’s an amazing thing: the spreading white acacia trees, according to all botanical laws, are not acacia at all. And definitely not white. And Robinia (named after the court gardener of Louis XII), more specifically, Robinia pseudoacacia, from the delicious legume family.
Robinia is a universal tree. It came to us from North America, but happily takes root and blooms in Africa, Australia, and sultry Latin America. It is grown for decorative purposes, to strengthen the soil, and for forest protection plantings. And definitely for treatment.
But botany is not a decree for various pharmaceutical companies - “white acacia” is persistently written on all medicinal packaging. And rightly so, how else would the common people recognize her?
Is it time to be treated with acacia?
Pharmacologists are interesting people, but they are still rare bores. Want to buy acacia color at the pharmacy? The medicinal properties of Robinia on the packaging will be dryly and strictly explained: antispasmodic, hemostatic, anti-inflammatory, mild diuretic and laxative... And behind this list lie the absolutely amazing healing properties of snow-white acacia:
- Recipes with acacia help relieve spasms, relieve pain in the stomach and intestines, and relieve an attack of rheumatism or neuralgia. Rubbing with acacia tincture will soothe aching joints and radiculitis.
- Actively used to treat gastrointestinal problems. Helps in the treatment of ulcers and gastritis (if there are no exacerbations!), and if you suffer from constipation, a decoction of the bark of young Robinia branches is very effective.
- Heals nervous disorders(in florotherapy, white flowers are precisely intended to restore the psycho-emotional sphere). Flower infusions, decoctions and teas help calm nerves, relieve headaches, restore sleep and improve mood. Therefore, the use and recipes with white acacia have been a long-standing interest of psychologists and psychotherapists.
- Robinia has long had a reputation as a female plant. White acacia flowers have always been used in folk medicine to treat gynecological problems - uterine fibroids, inflammation of the uterine appendages.
- Acacia is a traditional remedy for the treatment of kidney ailments. It has noticeable diuretic properties (it is also popular as part of a collection along with bearberry, tansy, cornflower and licorice root), and also treats cystitis. For this you will also have to make herbal tea: Robinia color + calendula + creeping wheatgrass.
Secrets of using white acacia
The most important healing part of the fragrant tree is the acacia flowers; their medicinal properties are used most often. There are also decoctions of twigs and bark, but they are used much less frequently. The reason is the toxicity of acacia - toxic substances in its bark can lead to poisoning, so doctors advise limiting yourself to flower treatment only. And during pregnancy, completely forget about aromatic recipes. By the way, white acacia blooms from May to July.
Decoction, infusion and acacia tincture with vodka - these are the main ones medicinal recipes. The tincture can be bought in online health stores - but it’s stupid to treat yourself with alcohol, so it’s better to buy dried flowers at the pharmacy. You will pay 80-100 rubles for a box of 25 grams, but non-alcoholic recipes are effective, and most importantly, unlike alcoholic ones, they are tasty, safe and do not kill your human dignity.
White acacia infusion for inflammation “feminine style”
The recipe is surprisingly simple - pour a large spoon of acacia-colored milk with a glass of boiling water and steam for one hour. And then we enjoy the aromatic medicine for strictly one month, taking a large “flower” spoon before meals – 3 times a day. Please note - this infusion has a mild laxative effect. For some this is a pleasant bonus, but for others it is worth being more careful with florotherapy.
Universal decoction of acacia color
Both fresh and dry inflorescences are suitable for this medicine. For a liter of water you need one large spoon of dry (two spoons of fresh) Robinia flowers. Pour water (half a liter) over the flowers, cook for three minutes, then pour the fragrant infusion into a thermos and add water to the volume of 0.5. Drink a spoonful 4 times a day, before all breakfasts, lunches and snacks.
And in this video you can see this tree in all its glory:
