If we love to walk and are good observers, we will surely have noticed a map that grows between walls and bricks. This is the cedar, better known as stonebreaker grass. But today we at ProiezionidiBorsa will reveal a secret. This little fern can be very useful for our well-being. Most of us have seen this herb on our walls but few know that it can be phenomenal for many health problems.
The properties of stone-breaking grass
Stonebreaker grass, also known as rust grass, is rich in draining, pain relieving and inflammation-relieving substances. This is why Chinese medicine uses it to cure liver disease best known.
But not only. Cedracca is also an excellent natural remedy for fever and to reduce menstrual pain.
The real secret of this fern, however, is in its diuretic abilities. We can, in fact, use it to reduce the size of kidney stones and to improve the functioning of the urinary system.
Almost everyone has seen this herb on our walls but few know that it can be phenomenal for many health problems: how to use it
The best known method to exploit the properties of stone-breaking herb is to prepare herbal teas. We take about 20 grams of leaves and put them to boil in a saucepan of water. At this point we leave to infuse for about twenty minutes.
Let it cool and filter the mixture with a colander. If the flavor is too strong for our palate, we can soften the herbal tea with a teaspoon of honey.
To have long-term beneficial effects we will have to drink the preparation at least three times a day for a month. If we suffer from kidney stones or to the bladder it is best to stop treatment after a week.
Alternatively we can also prepare a decoction. We chop the whole plant in water and let it boil over low heat for five minutes. If we drink it twice a day it will help us fight high cholesterol.
In case of persistent problems and more serious pathologies it is always better to consult a specialist.
