Douching with nettles for female diseases. Nettle treatment - diseases of women and men

Like many medicinal plants, stinging nettle is used traditional medicine as an adjuvant in the treatment of various diseases. Due to the unique chemical composition and medicinal properties, nettle leaves and juice, as well as herbal remedies based on them, are used as an immunostimulating, anti-inflammatory, hemostatic and disinfectant. But most often, medicinal forms of nettle are prescribed in the absence of contraindications as maintenance therapy for diseases in the field of gynecology: heavy periods, for uterine contractions and in other cases.

Medicinal properties of nettle in gynecology

Nettle has long been considered a female plant, however, unlike traditional medicine, its use in gynecology is more effective, since it is based on comparing the properties of the biologically active components of the plant with the diagnosis. This takes into account the dosage, contraindications, duration of the course of administration, and dosage form, while folk recipes used according to the “finger in the sky” principle for self-medication can cause irreparable harm to the body.

Nettle owes its healing properties to its unique composition, which includes vitamins A, K, B, C, minerals, 9 out of 10 essential amino acids, phytoestrogens, chlorophyll, lignin and phytoncides. In combination, these substances actively influence all biological processes in the body, have a general strengthening and antioxidant effect, and normalize the functioning of all organs and systems. There are many areas of use of nettle in medicine, but specifically in the treatment gynecological diseases this plant is the most in demand.

Let us consider in more detail the pharmacological properties of nettle in the treatment of female diseases:

Preparations from nettle juice have a hemostatic effect during uterine bleeding and heavy menstruation. The pronounced hemostatic property is achieved due to the content of a large amount of vitamin K in the fresh leaves of the plant, which is involved in the synthesis of prothrombin, a complex protein that ensures blood clotting.
Decoctions from dry raw materials, on the contrary, have a thinning effect on the blood, stimulate erythropoiesis and are used for stagnation, inflammation and to restore the normal number of red blood cells after large blood losses.
For benign formations in the endometrium of the uterus, a decoction of nettle roots and seeds is used. This remedy has a constricting effect on blood vessels, due to which the blood flow to the tumor slows down, and along with it its growth stops.
In addition, decoctions and tinctures from the seeds of this plant contribute to the expansion of the fallopian tubes, which increases the chance of a favorable conception and eliminates the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.
Due to the chlorophyll content in nettle, decoctions and tinctures from this plant promote vascular contraction and tone the uterus. These properties of the plant are used to restore the contractile activity of the uterus and reduce bleeding during the postpartum period.
In addition, chlorophyll promotes the regeneration of mucous tissue and reduces the manifestations of the inflammatory reaction. Tampons with freshly squeezed juice are prescribed as an auxiliary therapy in the treatment of cervical erosion, vulvitis and vulvovaginitis.
Nettle contains phytoncides - plant biologically active substances similar in action to antiseptics. They suppress the growth and development of bacterial and fungal infections, as well as chlamydia. Decoctions of nettle leaves are used for douching during the treatment of thrush, eliminating white plaque in the vagina, and quickly restoring the mucous membrane after tears received during childbirth.
Phytoestrogens present in nettle do not have a hormonal effect, however, with regular use, these substances can regulate the menstrual cycle in women and reduce the symptoms of menopause.
Herbal teas based on nettle are used to increase lactation; in addition, the high content of microelements and vitamins prevents the development of anemia and strengthens the immune system of a nursing mother.
Nettle is a leader in magnesium content, which has a positive effect on women's health, increases libido, relieves pain during menstruation, and normalizes monthly cycle.
The use of nettle reduces the production of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase in the body, which promotes the formation of the active form of testosterone - dihydrotestosterone.

Depending on the problem or disease, the gynecologist may recommend taking nettle in dosage forms as an adjuvant or maintenance therapy. To improve blood composition and normalize the monthly cycle, use various parts of nettle in dry form, and if necessary, stop bleeding or delay menstruation, use plant juice.

Nettle is famous for its ability to burn the skin, causing redness and blisters. If you decide to use the plant fresh, to avoid burns, you should collect the leaves with gloves on and then pour boiling water over them to neutralize formic acid.

It often grows in entire plantations, forming dense thickets. Stinging nettle is found in the same place as stinging nettle.

External descriptions and medicinal properties of stinging nettle and stinging nettle may differ slightly:

Dioecious plant belongs to the group of perennials, reaching a height of two meters. As it grows, it forms dense, impenetrable thickets.
Stinging nettle- an annual plant up to 50 centimeters high with characteristic strongly burning hairs on the leaves and stems. It does not form thickets and is easily eradicated.

Preparation and storage

Plant collection must be started during abundant flowering, which falls in May-June inclusive. Naturally, in some regions the grass blooms until the first days of autumn. When collected during the flowering period, the leaves accumulate a lot of useful substances and vitamins.
The most valuable part of the nettle is the leaves. In addition, a lot of useful substances are found in the roots and seeds. It is customary to start harvesting them in the fall.
Collection and drying. If you intend to engage in industrial collection of grass, it must be mowed by hand or with a walk-behind mower, slightly withered, and then the leaves are picked from the stems and placed in a suitable place to dry. When self-harvesting, the leaves are plucked from the entire stem. To avoid burning your hands, be sure to wear work gloves. You can dry the grass in natural conditions, but without contact with direct sun rays. You should not overdry the leaves, as this reduces the level of nutrients.
Storage. It is advisable to store raw materials in a room with good ventilation, protecting them from dampness. The shelf life is 2 years.

When preparing medicinal raw materials, you can use the pungent species, since it has almost identical medicinal properties to those of the dioecious one. And besides, to create homeopathic remedies It is customary to use exclusively stinging nettle. Special attention is given to young leaves and shoots, as well as roots.

Application for women

The plant has also found its use to strengthen women's health. It is used to combat almost all diseases due to its extensive therapeutic effects.

“Burning” is especially effective for painful periods, which can pose a threat to health if they occur pathologically, or for changes in the nature of menstrual bleeding, represented by increased discharge, and other troubles. However, before using the herb, you must seek help from a gynecologist and examine your body. Stinging nettle can be a good alternative to drug treatment or an addition to traditional medications.

For centuries, Russian women have used nettle infusions and teas to relieve menstrual pain. To do this, they collected fresh nettle leaves that were plucked during the flowering period. Juice was extracted from these leaves, which was then diluted with water at the rate of 1 teaspoon per quarter glass of water.

The medicine is taken during menstruation three times a day, a quarter of an hour before lunch or breakfast. The effect of nettle is aimed at constricting blood vessels and toning the smooth muscles of the uterus. The herb also perfectly activates heparinases, which promotes more productive growth of platelets, which delay the release of blood. As a result, blood clots much faster, and hemoglobin levels increase steadily.

Based on freshly squeezed juice, they create effective medicines for obstetrics c, which are used to stop severe uterine bleeding.

To normalize the volume of discharge during menstruation, use a special decoction, which is created as follows:

For a glass of boiling water, take a tablespoon with a heap of dry leaves.
Then the mixture is placed on low heat and brought to a boil.
The boiled broth is covered with a lid and placed in a shaded, ventilated place to infuse. Just wait 1-2 hours and the product will be ready.

The finished product is consumed three times a day before meals. Already on the first day you will notice a significant reduction in bleeding.

Nettle root

Nettle is considered an amazingly valuable medicine, and all its parts have beneficial properties. Root is no exception. The magical substances from the roots are excellent at combating male problems, helping to preserve male hormone testosterone, which ensures the productive functioning of the prostate gland.

For centuries, decoctions based on the root have been used to treat specific diseases of the male reproductive system. They were much more effective than medications. For example, nettle was used to combat prostate adenoma, which, unfortunately, develops in more than 80% of men who have reached a certain age.

It is no secret that many representatives of the stronger sex are negligent in the following alarming symptoms:

Weak stream of urine.
Difficulty starting to urinate.
Discomfortable sensations of incomplete emptying of the bladder.
Inability to reproduce healthy seed.

If such troubles are left unattended, this can lead to more serious complications and cause the development of a serious illness.

The formation of nodules in the prostate not only restricts the flow of urine, but also becomes a great threat to the kidneys and causes the development of bladder stones. Then inflammatory processes and sexual dysfunction begin, so the sooner you pay attention to warning signs, the more effective further treatment will be. And it is quite possible that your “salvation” will be nettle root, which can slow down the breakdown of testosterone and become a good stimulation of sexual activity.

The herb has hemostatic properties, can normalize the monthly cycle due to the antihemorrhagic substance, warns ectopic pregnancy, expands the lumen of the fallopian tubes and has other useful abilities.

Harvesting nettles for medicinal purposes

Stinging nettle is widely used in gynecology, but its different parts have certain properties and abilities. For example, nettle leaves for gynecology should be collected during the flowering period and always in dry weather. They should be spread in one or two layers after being separated from the stem. You need to cut the plant 40-50 cm from the top and leave it to dry, but not in the open sun. It is advisable to leave them in some room with good ventilation, turning them over several times a day (otherwise, the leaves may turn black).

The beneficial properties of nettle roots in gynecology are also high. They need to be dug up in the fall, when the plant has time to dry out, or in the spring before the sap flows. Having shaken off the rhizomes from soil and dead parts, they should be washed with water, cut into pieces of about 5 cm and left to dry in the sun. The medicinal properties of stinging nettle roots in gynecology are higher than those of the leaves.

To use nettle decoction in gynecology, you can use the seeds. They need to be collected when the plant is fully mature - it is cut off at the level of seed formation, and then dried for several days, then threshed and dried again.

Nettle juice and oil give good results in gynecology. To prepare the juice, you need to grind the cut nettles using a blender or meat grinder. You need to squeeze out the juice from the resulting slurry and mix it with sugar in equal proportions, and then stir until it dissolves. After this, you need to add a tenth of good vodka or alcohol, diluted to 40 degrees. Store the product in the refrigerator.

Treatment of fibroids in gynecology with nettle

The beneficial properties of nettle are used in the treatment of a wide variety of diseases of almost all body systems. The form in which the herb will be used depends on the specific pathology. Stinging nettle is used to prepare decoctions, tinctures, juice or syrup.

In gynecology, nettle is often used to stop bleeding from the uterus, and this is a very serious help for fibroids. In addition to this herb, Amur barberry, shepherd's purse and yarrow give very good results in the treatment of fibroids.

But these herbs stop the blood in two ways: they increase coagulation, but nettle also spasms the blood vessels of the reproductive organ, due to which the blood flow quickly stops. In any case, nettle will help stop the bleeding in a short time.

There are several ways to prepare the herb for severe bleeding:

You need to add equal quantities of nettle leaves and yarrow, along with flowers and leaves, into one container. Add dried and pre-crushed plantain leaves in slightly smaller quantities, pour 0.5 liters of boiling water over the herbs and cook over heat for about 10 minutes. Afterwards, cool the broth and strain. It is better to start drinking half a glass a few days before the onset of menstruation and drink for a few more days after it ends.
Mix in one container 25 g of crushed nettle, 50 g of cat's paws and St. John's wort flowers, 75 g of snake knotweed powder, 500 g of honey, a little aloe juice and 500 g of dry red wine. Mix everything well and place in a water bath and cover tightly with a lid. Stir the mixture periodically, simmer for 30 minutes and set aside, cool and strain. Drink 1 tbsp. l. before eating.

Fresh nettle juice gives very good results in the treatment of uterine fibroids. It is mixed with water and drunk a few minutes before meals. The juice is great for treating heavy bleeding from the uterus, but it is ineffective for fibroids.

In medical practice, nettle plays a very important role; it is used to eliminate uterine bleeding; this plant is a very serious help for uterine fibroids. In addition to nettle, Amur barberry, shepherd's purse and common yarrow are also used to solve this problem.

But these plants can stop bleeding in two ways. Shepherd's purse and yarrow enhance blood clotting, and nettle also has this effect. But it also, like barberry, spasms the vessels of the uterus, so the blood flow suddenly stops. In general, nettle will help stop bleeding in any case.

Remedy 1. It is necessary to combine in one vessel in equal proportions the leaves of stinging nettle and grass with yarrow flowers, add to them the leaves of the large plantain, a little less than the nettle and yarrow we took, only we need to take the plantain dried and crushed.

The resulting mixture must be poured with half a liter of boiling water and boiled for several minutes on the stove over low heat. Then the broth must be cooled and passed through cheesecloth. It is necessary to consume literally half a glass when there is heavy discharge.

It is advisable to start drinking the decoction in advance, a couple of days before the start of the menstrual cycle, and continue drinking it for a couple of days after it ends. If you drink this decoction every six months, your periods will not be so heavy and the discomfort will go away.

Remedy 2. Mix in one bowl a spoonful of crushed leaves of stinging nettle, a couple of spoons of cat's paws and St. John's wort flowers, add three spoons of powdered snakeweed rhizomes to the herbal mixture, half a kilogram of honey, add a little juice of aloe leaves and pour half a liter of dry red wine over everything. .

After mixing everything, you need to put it in a water bath for a couple of hours and cover it tightly with a lid. The mixture must be stirred during infusion. Then cool and pass through gauze. It is necessary to consume one spoonful before meals.

Juice from fresh nettle leaves

Nettle juice must be mixed with water and taken a few minutes before meals for absorption; this helps very well with heavy periods. Unfortunately, this nettle remedy for fibroids in gynecology does not help.

Menopause and women's condition
