Red brush: features of growth and collection

Rhodiola cold (four-leaved), or, as they usually call it in everyday life, red brush, is a rather rare plant that can only be found in the Altai mountains.

It is collected exclusively by hand at the height of rocky slopes - 3000 m above sea level or in a gorge, as well as along the banks of streams and rivers. And it got its common name due to its leaves, which are shaped like a brush.

Thanks to harsh conditions, the plant has acquired many beneficial properties, which are stored in the root system. They need to be collected either in spring or autumn. The plants are dug up, the roots are washed, crushed, dried and stored (no more than 2 years) in paper bags in a dry place where light does not penetrate.

One of the main advantages of the plant is that it does not eliminate the signs of the disease, but fights the disease and its causes.

How to properly collect and store red brush

It is very difficult to collect red brush in sufficient quantities due to the inaccessibility of the places where the plant likes to grow. Not only does it grow in mountainous areas, but also in small groups of representatives of this species. So finding a decent area with thickets of red brush is actually every herbalist’s pipe dream.

Important! Proper collection, drying and storage guarantee the production of high-quality raw materials and, accordingly, medicinal products.

Overcome infertility with a red brush

Due to its stimulating effect on the endocrine glands, including the thyroid, gonads and adrenal glands, Rhodiola is classified as a remedy for infertility. One caveat is if this infertility is caused only by hormonal imbalances.

Important! If infertility is caused by inflammation of the fallopian tubes and their narrowing in women, then traditional medicine will not help. Therefore, before self-medicating, you should consult a specialist to find out the reasons.

But diseases such as fibroids, fibroids, mastopathy, menstrual irregularities due to ovarian dysfunction, endometriosis, erosion, are hormonally dependent and can well be prevented by taking decoctions of red brush and using suppositories with red brush based on cocoa butter.

Why decoctions and not tinctures? Yes, because drinking alcohol even in small quantities has an adverse effect on women's reproductive health.

Important! Many oncological diseases, such as breast cancer, for example, are provoked by an excess of female sex hormones, so you should not self-prescribe treatment for hormonal dysfunction in all its manifestations.
