Thislook Buttercup is sometimes called water, following the literal translation of the Latin name – ranunculus aquatica. This amazing plant does not like their terrestrial counterparts – it is taking root right under the water, sometimes at impressive depths (up to two meters).

The collection and storage of Buttercup

The optimal time for harvesting Buttercup – end of the period of flowering, when the fruits are still only tied, but the petals are still not all the flowers fell off. At this point, the concentration of nutrients in the aboveground parts of plants reaches its peak. The roots of Ranunculus in medicine are rarely used due to extreme toxicity.

Gathering buttercups is carried out using garden shears or large sharp scissors. You need to gently cut the stems at a height of 5-10 cm above the ground to get the most succulent part of the plant. Tear buttercups not rekomenduetsya two reasons: first, you get dirty hands with poisonous juice, and secondly, to damage the rootsystem, and then the plant will likely die.

By the way, for greater security it is better to collect buttercups gloves and thick clothing. After contact with skin, especially mucous membranes, the juice of the Buttercup is crying out in severe irritation and burns, until the formation of sores and blisters. The collected materials must be washed thoroughly and dried in the attic or under a canopy. Of course, all these manipulations should be performed while wearing gloves.

Buttercup cannot be dried under direct sunlight, because of it will completely evaporate most of the active ingredients, including protoanemonin.

When Buttercup blooms?

Flowering periods of the plants of this family vary greatly in duration, depending on species. There are buttercups that bloom in April, and by June they already have fruits with seeds, and there are those that delight the eye with bright flowers from may to October, such as the swamp Buttercup. If you stumble upon a thicket of Buttercup, and plan the collection of raw materials, try using the scientific literature and photos to determine the species and, thus, to know the optimal time for harvesting.

But in large doses it is a strong vegetable poison with nerve action, causing death from the oppression of the respiratory center;
  • Coumarinsare natural blood thinners, which also accelerate the process of cellular regeneration, act as a source of vitamin P, preventing the growth of tumors and the formation of blood clots;

  • Cardiac glycosides- substances that normalize heart function, slow down the rhythm of the heart rate mistype tachycardia, increases the systole and diastole lengthening, activating blood circulation and reduceblood pressure;

  • Saponinswork together as a cholagogue, as well as lower temperature and pressure, liquefy phlegm and accelerate its excretion from the bronchi, tone and stimulate the reproductive system;
  • Tannins– constrict and strengthen blood vessel walls, creating a very thin protective film on the mucous membrane of the digestive tract after ingestion, and on the surface of the skin –for external application;
  • Alkaloids– a group of volatile toxic compounds which, in small doses stimulate the immune system, tone up, relieve fever, analgesic, lower blood pressure, strengthen blood vessels, stop bleeding and disinfect wounds;
  • Flavonoids- substances that prevent the destruction of valuable hyaluronic acid in the human body, stimulate metabolism, increase the elasticity of blood vessels, neutralize free radicals and prevent sclerotic affection of the blood system;

  • Vitamin Cis one of the most important health vitamins, which is necessary for the normal operation of the endocrine glands and proper absorption of dietary iron. Ascorbic acid is an antioxidant, protector against cancer and an important element for the maintenance of the nervous system. Vitamin C deficiency is detrimental impact on the immune system and hematopoiesis;

  • Carotene– a substance needed for good eyesight, strong bones and teeth, supple skin and beautiful hair. The lack of carotene in the body turns early aging, slowing of protein synthesis, development of oncological diseases and slow the process of cellular regeneration;

  • Amino acids– the most important value of a substance depends on the quality of the blood, the level of hemoglobin and the body's ability to detoxify. The more valuable amino acids a person receives, the faster he gets rid of the harmful components of food and air – pesticides, radionuclides, heavy metals;
