The efficacy and function of lilac flowers

Lilac not only has high ornamental value, but is also a traditional Chinese medicinal material. Presumably, everyone is familiar with lilac because of the song "Lilac" that was popular in the streets and alleys in the past 10 years. Lilac does not require a high growth environment, so it is a very easy flower species to cultivate and grow. Lilac flowers come in yellow and purple colors, and the two different colors of lilac flowers have different medicinal effects. So what are the medicinal properties of purple lilac?

Lilac is one of my country's traditional spice-based Chinese medicinal materials. It is edible and can be used as medicine. It has the effects of warming the middle, warming the kidneys, and relieving adverse reactions. It is suitable for people suffering from hiccups, vomiting, nausea, dysentery, cold pain in the heart and abdomen, conjunctivitis, hernia, and ringworms.

Reproduction method

Leaf cuttings: Spread the complete mature leaves flat on moist sand, with the leaf surface facing up and the back of the leaf facing down. No need to cover with soil. Place in a cool place. Small leaf clusters and new roots will grow from the base of the leaves in about 10 days. Bury the roots in the soil, expose it to more sunlight, and water it appropriately. It will gradually grow into a thriving new plant. Not suitable for beheading breeding.

Management Technology

Lilac likes a growing environment with plenty of sunlight. It is not cold-resistant but drought-resistant. For daily maintenance, you can place it in a sunny place, and provide appropriate shade and ventilation in summer. Poor air circulation can easily breed diseases. Especially diseases caused by scale insects. It does not require much water and can be watered about twice a month. During the growing season, keep the soil in the pot slightly moist. Do not over-water and cause waterlogging in the soil. No need to water in winter.

Cloves also contain a lot of plant protein, which is somewhat toxic. It is not digested and absorbed in the human body and has no obvious side effects on the human body. However, it is highly toxic to intestinal parasites such as roundworms, nematodes, and hookworms, and can be used as an insecticide and anthelmintic.

The water infusion of lilac has a strong inhibitory effect on bacteria such as diphtheria bacteria, anthrax bacteria, paratyphoid bacteria, dysentery bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus albus, and Vibrio cholerae. It can be used to kill bacteria and reduce inflammation, and has certain effects whether used externally or internally.

Cloves also contain many antioxidant substances, such as vitamin C and SOD, which are all water-soluble. They will dissolve in the tea after soaking in water. Drinking it can help eliminate free radicals in the body, slow down damage to cells, and delay aging and beautify the skin.
