Recipes for using the medicinal properties of arum spotted
General description of arum spotted
Spotted Aronica is a perennial plant that grows up to 60 centimeters in height, is fixed in the ground with an oval rhizome, scattering around itself numerous adventitious roots, which are of varying thickness. The rosette of leaves growing near the roots is arrow-shaped. Long petioles are located at the base. The rosette is surrounded by scale-like brownish leaves. The most striking feature of the arum spotted is a long inflorescence, which is enclosed in a leaf-shaped wrapper. This plant has unisexual flowers of purple-brown color, which tightly hold on to a thickened cone-shaped peduncle. Thus, the flowers form an inflorescence-ear.
The inflorescence is designed so that it can catch small insects for pollination. In the evening, the ear gives off a scent that attracts insects. When they fall into the trap, they spontaneously pollinate the flowers. After the end of pollination, the hairs droop, thereby opening the way for insects to free.
The plant begins to bloom in April and ends in June. After fertilization, a little time passes - and the top of the cob, along with the wrapping leaf, dies off, and red berries grow in their place.
Spotted Aronica prefers to settle on clayey soil rich in lime, especially in wet floodplain forests. Often found in mixed forests, as well as in bushy thickets. In the middle zone of the country it does not tolerate winter well.
And although this plant is useful, you need to be careful with it, since it is very poisonous and not only stems and leaves, but also berries.
The composition of the arum spotted is not fully understood. The whole plant, especially the leaves, contains many crystals of oxalic acid, as well as its salts, which are called oxalate salts. Calcium oxalate crystals have sharp and thin needles, upon contact with which human skin is injured.
For treatment, the rhizome of the plant is used, less often the leaves.
