Hogweed

Hogweed has long been known in the fight against epilepsy - both its roots and its leaves are used for this. It is widely used in Bulgaria. You can meet this plant almost anywhere, but you need to carefully collect it, trying not to get hogweed juice on the skin, since there is a risk of sunburn, since the juice of this medicinal herb makes the skin more sensitive to light. Both infusion and decoction are prepared from the leaves of the hogweed.

A decoction of hogweed. For one portion of the broth, 2 tablespoons of dry hogweed leaves will be enough. The herb is poured with boiling water in an amount of half a liter, after which the medicine must be insisted for 2 hours and drunk in equal portions during the day.

Fresh hogweed juice. Juice is squeezed out of the fresh roots of hogweed, which is drunk in 1 teaspoon 4-5 times a day.

In countries such as France, Brazil, Norway and Switzerland, the herb wormwood - the chernobyl - is used in the treatment of epilepsy.
