This daisy is tongueless or fragrant (fragrant). She loves settling in the courtyards, the streets and squares of provincial towns, cover football fields, airfields. She, like the plantain, is resistant to trampling. Chamomile odorous - a small plant, usually not exceeding 5-10cm. She comes from America. In the 1840s, it could be found only in the St. Petersburg Botanical Garden. However, since the 1870s of the last century, it has only spread throughout Russia within 30–40 years. How did this so swift, wonderful settlement take place? It turns out that chamomile is fragrant as a weed growing in the fields, got into the grain supplied from America, and with it - to the fields.

Apple tree forest - The fruit tree of the rose family. Many varieties of apple trees are cultivated in our country. Along with its fruits are used and the fruits of wild apple. They contain malic, tartaric, citric and other organic acids, sugars (glucose, sucrose), vitamins C, A, B1, carotene, tannins, trace elements (iron, potassium, calcium, magnesium), essential oil. Apples are rich in iron, in connection with which they are used for the manufacture of a pharmacological drug - malic acid iron, used in the treatment of anemia (anemia). AT traditional medicine Apple gruel is used as a healing agent for abrasions and other skin lesions, as well as for nipple cracks in nursing mothers. Fresh fruits are used in hypo-and avitaminosis, in inflammatory diseases of the stomach and intestines (as a means of improving digestion and normalizing metabolism), and also as a fortifying agent. Apple tea is drunk for urolithiasis, gout, rheumatism, gastrointestinal and other diseases. Tea from the leaves and flowers of the apple helps with colds. Apples are pretty well kept. So, fresh fruits, laid out in a single layer, in unheated rooms can last up to 3-5 months. Dried apples (dried at 70 ° C) is a good source of easily digestible sugars, as well as trace elements, but they lose a significant amount of vitamins and aromatic substances. In pickled apples, vitamins are better preserved, but their consumption should be limited to those who have liver, stomach and kidneys. For people suffering from gastrointestinal diseases, apples are especially useful because they contain tannins with astringent effects, and apple pectin substances adsorb and excrete various toxic compounds from the body. Therefore, for example, in dysentery and colitis, raw and baked grated apples are prescribed, in which there are especially many pectins. In addition, apples are a source of vitamins, however, their content is relatively small with the exception of vitamin R. One or two apples can provide the daily human need for this vitamin and for trace elements absolutely necessary for the body. Apples are especially useful for those who have oxalate stones in the kidneys (formed in connection with the disturbance of calcium and oxalic acid metabolism), as they have the properties to remove oxalates from the body. It should be noted that apples are widely used in therapeutic diets. So, sweet varieties of apples are used in diseases of the liver, kidneys and cardiovascular system, and sour - in diabetes and obesity. Very beneficial effect on health and health unloading apple days. In recent years, in special studies conducted in France, America, Italy and other countries, it has been shown that eating apples decreases the absorption of fats by the body, which contributes to the elimination of excess cholesterol. Among those who regularly eat apples, more than half have cholesterol levels 10% lower than those who do not eat apples. Even if you eat only 2-3 apples daily, you can significantly reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood. Such a therapeutic effect of apples is explained not only by the presence of a large amount of pectic substances in them, but also by the presence of vitamin C of trace elements and other substances that enhance the actions of each other. It is also interesting that taking apples can reduce not only the amount of various fatty acids circulating in the body, but also make their ratio more favorable. Thus, it is clear that if a person consumes a lot of fatty foods and sugar, then the inclusion of apples in the diet, and especially holding fasting apple days, will prevent the body from absorbing excess fat.

Younger students about medicinal plants
Conversation "Medicinal plants" for younger students. Material from a photo
Noskova Natalia YurievnaPosition and place of work: primary school teacher MBOU - Verkh-Tulinskaya Secondary School № 14 Novosibirsk region
Description: I present to your attention the material on medicinal plants, annually harvested in significant quantities for the medical and other industries. This work may be of interest to teachers, kindergarten teachers and students.
Purpose: The material is intended to replenish the piggy bank of teachers.
Purpose: familiarization with medicinal plants.
Tasks: - expand and deepen children's knowledge about medicinal plants;
- develop interest and desire to learn more about plants;
- foster respect for plants and love for nature.
Rational use of resources
On the territory of our country grows a lot of plants that are of great value for medicine and various industries. Consumer cooperation organizations annually procure over 80 species of such plants. The demand for them is constantly growing.
In this regard, it is important in the organization and conduct of preparations of medicinal plant materials to protect the existing thickets from depletion, which occurs during unlimited use of sites. Plants that are in high demand, slowly multiply or harvested before the end of the growing season are exposed to such danger. For example, when gathering linden flowers it is impossible to break off large branches, as this leads to a sharp decrease in tree productivity. Harvesting the bark from the main stem of viburnum, buckthorn leads to drying of the tree or shrub. Plants are also at great risk when their roots and rhizomes are harvested (marshmallows, aralia, elecampus, nipponian dioscorea and others).
In order to ensure the full restoration of the thickets and the use of plots for many years, it is necessary to alternate each year the areas of gathering raw materials and leave developed plants on each of them. Practice shows that this is the most common way of keeping blanks.
I present you several types of medicinal plants.
Althaea officinalis
Alley - a perennial, grayish-green herbaceous plant, reaching up to 1.5 m in height with pinkish flowers. It grows along the banks of rivers and lakes, on meadows, in bushes. It is found in the southern strip of the European part of our country, in the Caucasus and in the south of Western Siberia.
Althea roots dig up in the spring and autumn. In order to preserve thickets, it is necessary to produce billets in the same area no more than once every 3-4 years and leave up to 30% of young plants. The aboveground part of the plant and the main taproot are cut and removed. Side roots, carefully peeled from the ground, are dried, removing the upper cortex (peel) from them with a sharp knife. Thick roots are cut lengthwise, long across, into pieces up to 35 cm, and then dried in the open air, in ovens or dryers at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees, since at higher temperatures they turn yellow.
The roots are rich in mucous substances, starch, sucrose. Infusion of the roots made on cold water, has enveloping, expectorant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Immortelle sandy (or Cmin sandy) is a perennial plant with a height of 15-30 cm with spherical lemon-yellow flower baskets. It is widely distributed in the steppe regions of the European part of our country, in the North Caucasus and in Southern Siberia.
Collect not fully bloomed inflorescences-baskets (June-August). The inflorescences are cut off with the rest of the stem not longer than 1-2 cm. On the same immortelle array, the collection of inflorescences can be carried out up to 3-4 times as the plants bloom. Re-collection is usually carried out in 5-7 days.
You can not tear the inflorescences with stems, and even more to pull out plants with roots - this leads to the destruction of thickets. The immortelle can be collected on the same array for several years in a row, provided it remains on 1 square meter. m thickets of 1-2 flowering plants to ensure seed renewal.
Dry in a dark, well-ventilated area. Flowers retain a lemon-yellow color and after drying.
Immortelle sand has a therapeutic effect in diseases of the liver, gallbladder and gastric pathways; stimulates the function of the stomach and pancreas, improves metabolism.

Gather grass in the flowering period before the fruits fall. Acrobate is harvested by cutting the plant with a sickle, shears, scissors or mowing along with grass. Cut the adonis above the brown scales, at a height of 5-10 cm from the soil surface.
You can not pull out the plant with the root, as this leads to the destruction of the undergrowth, recovering very slowly. When harvesting part of the bushes (per 100 sq. M - 1-2 good bushes) should be left uncut for planting.
Dry the grass immediately after picking in the open air in the shade, or in dryers at a temperature of 50-60 degrees.
