Saxifrage thigh
It is a perennial plant belonging to the umbrella family. The height of the thigh can be up to 50 cm. The thigh-saxifrage is a plant with straight, bare outside stems, covered with fluff. The upper leaves are mainly composed of three lobes. The leaves located at the bottom of the stem are pinnate long-petiolate, but the individual leaves are serrate and resemble an egg in appearance. Stem leaves, depending on their location, vary in size: for example, if the leaves are high, then they are small, and if lower, they are larger in size than the upper ones.

Green leaves should be dried in a warm and ventilated area. After drying, the leaves should be green and of such quality that they easily grind into powder. In addition to drying, the leaves can be salted.
The seeds are harvested as follows: first you need to collect the umbrellas, dry them and thresh them. Further, the already dried seeds must be laid out in glass jars or in porcelain containers (tightly closed) and stored in places where the sun's rays do not fall.
