Investigations scientists found that in the process of life, many plants emit substances which have the ability to kill various microbes, including pathogenic.
These substances are called phytoncides . They seem to play a significant role in the life of plants, in particular - in their resistance to harmful microbes.
Found that a particularly large force phytoncids possess such plants as onions , garlic , with these substances in the bulbs. Phytoncides be found in plants such as horseradish , yarrow , in tomatoes , oranges . Enough for 2-10 minutes to chew a piece of onion or garlic that in the oral cavity completely killed all bacteria.
Treatment may be phytoncides by inhalation them, oral L, irrigation .
In practice, internal medicine phytoncides or are inside ( bowel disease , atherosclerosis , hypertension ), or inhale (so-called. inhalation method) to deal with ulcers ( abscesses ) lung, bronchiectasis ( bronchiectasis ), putrefactive chronic bronchitis . For oral use alcohol or water tincture .
For manufacture of slurry onion and garlic , which contains phytoncides need to take bulbs of good quality, without any trace of it was rotting. It must be remembered that only freshly squash has properties to kill microbes, because after 10-15 minutes most phytoncids destroyed.
In addition to garlic and onions, phytoncides contained in burnet , shepherd's purse , Equisetum arvense , Rhododendron tomentosum , Artemisia , yarrow , buttercup , carrots , tomatoes , radish , horseradish , cranberry , eat, pine , bird cherry , black currant , etc...
