Kalanchoe- magnificent house plant, which has been used since ancient times by our ancestors in medicinal purposes. Traditional medicine includes huge variety recipes for self-preparation of medicines from this plant. Due to its medicinal properties, Kalanchoe is called “House Doctor”, “Indoor Ginseng”, “Plant of Life”, etc. Many people today keep these beautiful plants not only because of their unusual beautiful shapes and colors, but also because of their ability to neutralize, stop bleeding, relieve pain, heal wounds, etc.

As I said in the article “Homemade Kalanchoe”, scientists already know more than 200 species of these plants, most of which are used not only in folk medicine, but also in traditional medicine to create medicines. All domestic species of Kalanchoe have healing properties: Blossfelda, Kalanchoe peristoje and, of course, the viviparous plant bryophyllum. But, despite the fact that they have been used in folk medicine for many years, traditional medicine for a long time did not recognize the healing properties of this flower. Only in the middle of the 20th century did Kalanchoe juice begin to be used for external treatment in official medicine.

For a long time, Kalanchoe has been competing for first place in medicinal properties with such a well-known house plant as aloe. But, the plant that you are reading about in this article from the House of Knowledge is a leader in anti-inflammatory processes, and is also superior to aloe in the fight against viruses and the diseases they cause.

Medicinal properties of Kalanchoe.

The thick, fleshy leaves of Kalanchoe contain a huge amount of vitamins P and C, so-called tannins, potassium, aluminum, copper, manganese, calcium, organic acids, polysaccharides, flavonoids, etc. All this together makes Kalanchoe (leaves and juice) a real healer. When purchasing various medications, ointments, drops in pharmacies, you may not even suspect that the basis of many of them is Kalanchoe. Traditional medicine has been using it for a long time to treat runny nose, sinusitis, rhinitis, stop bleeding, heal wounds, burns, etc. Alcohol tinctures are also made from this plant.

Traditional medicines from Kalanchoe.

Pharmacies sell medicines based on the juice and pulp of Kalanchoe leaves. Ointments are made from this plant to treat boils, scratches and other skin lesions. Kalanchoe juice and tinctures from it are used for diseases of the mouth, nose and skin.

Of all the parts of Kalanchoe used to treat diseases, the juice is considered the most universal, as it has strong wound-healing, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, and due to its content huge amount vitamins it is used for vitamin deficiencies and severe mental and physical fatigue. Kalanchoe juice is used to treat skin injuries, namely wounds, frostbite, burns, trophic ulcers, bedsores and even necrosis (death) of tissue. For the best effect, it is better to prepare an ointment from the juice.

Kalanchoe juice. How to get Kalanchoe juice.
The juice of any species of Kalanchoe is usually obtained from its fleshy lower leaves. To do this, carefully cut off the fleshiest leaves from the plant (usually the lower ones) and place them in a dark bag in the refrigerator on the bottom shelf for a couple of days. It is believed that under such conditions they will acquire biologically active properties. Then remove the Kalanchoe leaves from the refrigerator, rinse well under running water and chop with a knife or press through a garlic press to obtain a paste. Then soak gauze in water (3-4 layers) and squeeze it well. After this, put the pulp on it, gather the edges together and squeeze the Kalanchoe so that the yellow juice seeps through the gauze. This is Kalanchoe juice, which can be stored in a closed glass jar in the refrigerator at a temperature from 1 0 C to 10 0 C. But even with this storage method, Kalanchoe juice has a short shelf life (up to 7 days), so try to make it as much as possible , as needed for several immediate applications.

How to store Kalanchoe juice or preserve Kalanchoe juice.
So that Kalanchoe juice can retain its properties for a long time useful qualities, mix it with regular vodka:

Fresh Kalanchoe juice - 10 parts;
Vodka - 1-2 parts.

Pour the resulting mixture into a jar, close the lid tightly and place in the refrigerator away from the freezer. In this form, Kalanchoe juice can retain its medicinal properties for up to 2 years.

Kalanchoe ointment for the treatment of skin lesions.
It is better not to apply Kalanchoe juice directly to wounds, as it will not give the desired effect, but will only cause a burning sensation. It's better to make it out of it special ointment, which is used in the treatment of injuries such as scratches, wounds, burns, frostbite, etc.

To create such an ointment, pinch off fresh Kalanchoe leaves, chop with a knife or through a garlic press and squeeze the juice out of the resulting pulp through cheesecloth. After that, mix it with lanolin and petroleum jelly. Store the resulting ointment in a sealed jar in the refrigerator.

Proportions for Kalanchoe ointment:

Kalanchoe juice - 30ml;
Lanolin - 50g;
Vaseline - 50g.

This ointment is best suited for the treatment of skin diseases, and unlike concentrated juice, it will not cause severe burning and itching.

Alcohol tincture from Kalanchoe.
To get 0.5 liter jar healing tincture From Kalanchoe, finely chop enough of its leaves with a knife to fill half the jar with the resulting pulp. Then add 0.5 liters of vodka or alcohol, then close the jar with a lid and place it in a cool and dark place to infuse for 1-1.5 weeks (for example, in the refrigerator). In this case, it is necessary to shake the jar daily so that the air comes out faster and its contents are mixed. After 7 days, you can strain the tincture through cheesecloth (2-3 layers) to separate the crushed leaves. As a result, you will receive a full jar of Kalanchoe tincture.

Water tincture of Kalanchoe.
To get water tincture Make 1 tablespoon of pulp from the fleshy leaves. To do this, chop them with a knife or press them through a garlic press. After this, pour the pulp into a small saucepan and add 0.5 cups of water to it, then leave for about 1 hour. Then put the ingredients on the fire and boil for 3-5 minutes. After the tincture has cooled, strain it through gauze folded in 2-3 layers. Store the water tincture of Kalanchoe in the refrigerator.

If you need more tincture, then use 1 part Kalanchoe and 5 parts water to obtain it.

The use of Kalanchoe in folk medicine in the treatment of diseases.
