What is the use of a golden mustache

Among indoor plants, especially should be noted scented callisia, or golden mustache. Many people now grow it at home. Recipes with this plant are passed from hand to hand, rewritten and carefully stored.





The thing is that the golden mustache has very powerful healing properties, in folk medicine is used to treat various diseases, up to oncology.

Golden mustache is a perennial herbaceous plant, whose height in natural conditions can reach 2 meters. In room conditions, the plant usually has a height of about 1 meter.





Golden mustache leaves Big, oblong. The length of the sheet reaches an average of 20 cm, width - 5 cm. The color of the leaves is usually dark green, but there are also variegated forms.

Shoots in callisia 2 types: upright and horizontal. Horizontal shoots, or mustaches, consist of joints, whose length is usually about 10 cm, painted in a rich purple color.

The therapeutic effect of the golden mustache is associated with the presence in it of several groups of biologically active substances - flavonoids and steroids, as well as a number of trace elements that have a significant effect on all systems of our body.





The composition of the golden mustache includes 2 substances from the group of flavonoids: kampferol and quercetin. Kempferol strengthens the walls of blood vessels and capillaries, making them more elastic, and also helps to remove toxins from the body.

Quercetin has a strong antioxidant effect. It not only prevents the negative effects of free radicals on the body, but also restores damaged cell membranes. And in addition, it has anti-inflammatory, decongestant, antispasmodic, antihistamines and diuretic properties.

Steroids of plant origin (phytosterols) prevent the deposition of cholesterol and help reduce its level in the blood. That is why golden mustache preparations are recommended for many diseases of the cardiovascular system and obesity.





In addition to biologically active substances, the composition of the golden mustache includes iron, copper and chromium. Although the share of these trace elements in the chemical composition of the plant is small, even a small amount of these substances in a number of diseases has a positive therapeutic effect.
