About Leustea
Lime is an aromatic plant of the Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) family used as a spice in several regions of Europe and also attributed medicinal properties. It has been cultivated over the centuries for its aromatic fragrance, its fine ornamental qualities and to a lesser extent its medicinal values. All parts of the plant, including the roots, are strongly aromatic and contain extractable essential oils. While the aerial parts are used as food, the roots are generally discarded. In the past, larch roots were used in folk medicine for their diuretic, carminative and spasmolytic properties.
The benefits of consuming leustea
As a medicinal plant, licorice has been used as a digestive, carminative (soothes abdominal pain), diaphoretic (causes sweating), diuretic, emmenagogue (causes menstruation), antidyspeptic (prevents digestive disorders), expectorant, stimulant and stomachic (favors digestion) , as well as as a treatment for jaundice. Current medicinal applications include use as a diuretic and to regulate the menstrual cycle. Eucalyptus is generally recognized as safe for human consumption as a natural seasoning and flavoring agent.
The consumption of leustea is recommended in:
A small study of the effectiveness of leuștean on cystinuria (a rare hereditary condition involving stones in the bladder and kidneys) found that leuștean reduced cysteine and creatinine levels in people with hereditary cystinuria. The study authors noted that it would be advantageous to conduct more studies involving a larger number of participants with cystinuria.
Another evaluation by the European Medicines Agency found that the data are sufficient to support the claims that licorice works as an effective agent in increasing the amount of urine to flush out the urinary tract in minor conditions. However, data on acute (severe short-term) and chronic (long-term) toxicity, carcinogenicity (causing cancer) and reproductive and developmental toxicity were lacking. Due to a lack of long-term safety data, the use of licorice root has not been recommended by the agency.
In addition to the uses listed above, preliminary study results support some of the advertised uses of linden:
diuretic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic
Use of any herb should be individualized and verified by a healthcare professional, as no herb (or derived supplements) is intended to treat, cure, or prevent disease.
The properties of leuștean
Walnut contains several compounds, some of which are phthalides and coumarins. Along with them, polyphenols are also found. The diversity of these compounds has led to numerous studies on the uses of linden.

The difference between parsley and lovage
Leuștean is very similar to parsley, but differs in appearance and flavor. The plant is actually related to parsley, along with many other herbs such as fennel and dill. Larch has larger, dark green leaves that resemble celery leaves. Larch plants can grow much taller, reaching heights of up to 1.8 meters. Parsley has flat, deeply divided leaves with a vibrant green color. It usually grows in compact clusters.
While parsley has a mild, fresh and slightly peppery flavor with a bitter note, lovage has a stronger and more pronounced flavor, resembling a combination of celery and parsley.
When it is recommended to consume leustea
The leaves are used to flavor soups, salads, casseroles and stews, due to their pungent, celery-like taste. The stems are used for candied products. The roots are peeled and cooked as a vegetable. The powdered root is sometimes used as a spice. The volatile oil extracted from the roots is highly valued for use in perfumery, soaps and creams and has been used to flavor tobacco products. The seeds and seed oil are used as flavoring agents in sweets and liqueurs.
Common doses include the following, which generally should not extend beyond two to four weeks of consecutive use:
4 to 8 grams per day; in the form of a tincture, administered in doses of 0.5 to 2 milliliters three times a day; in the form of tea, prepared with 2 to 3 grams of licorice root and 1 cup of hot water (leave to steep for 15 to 20 minutes), ingested three times a day.
When is the consumption of leustea contraindicated
Dermatitis: During harvesting, dermatitis can be a side effect of the larch. This is understood to be the result of the same compound that causes photosensitivity, the furocoumarins. Menstruation induction: The nutmeg contains a property that induces the elimination of the uterine lining. Thus, the plant can cause menstruation. Photosensitivity: The furocoumarin compound may cause photosensitivity. This is widely accepted; as such, it is suggested that UV exposure be limited when using larch. However, there is little research on this photosensitivity effect. Further studies need to be completed to make this a conclusive statement. Allergic reactions: There is a possibility of allergic reactions, especially if a person is allergic to plants of the Apiaceae family. Pregnancy and children: Leuștean should not be used by children and should not be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding (for medicinal purposes), unless recommended by a doctor. Heart and kidney problems: Because licorice is considered a diuretic, caution should be exercised in anyone with heart or kidney problems. Because of its irritating effects on tissues, its use should also be avoided by people with poor kidney function. High blood pressure: There is concern that licorice may increase the amount of sodium in the body, and this could increase blood pressure.
