Useful recipes
Raspberry is a special garden plant, all parts of which are suitable for the preparation of medicinal infusions: roots, stems, twigs, flowers, leaves, fruits. We are more likely to use berries, they are harvested for the winter, dried, grinded with sugar, cooked with jam, frozen in order to prepare a drug if necessary. Tea with raspberries at a temperature can be prepared as follows:
- brew ordinary tea, leave to cool to a warm state, put a tablespoon of berries in the state in which they are harvested, and drink small sips;
- another option is to eat jam, jam or another product from a raspberry snack, washing down with tea.
Fresh raspberries at a temperature even more effective and useful, tk. In fresh berries, more vitamin, organic acids, tannins, pectins, fatty oils than in the past heat treatment or exposed to low temperatures. True, in the height of summer, when raspberries ripen, infectious diseases rarely occur, but if this happens, it is necessary to take advantage of such a natural and useful medicine and not to miss the opportunity to strengthen the defenses of the body.
Leaves of raspberries with colds and temperatures will bring more benefits than berries, tk. In them in 6 times more vitamin C. They not only will lower temperature, but also will serve as an expectorant, anti-inflammatory agent. Cooking can be tinctured using vodka, or infusion on the water. To do this, fresh leaves will fit in the summer season, and for winter it is necessary to make billets. For this, whole green leaves are torn off, washed and laid out on a towel in the shade in the garden or the room. Direct sunlight should not fall on them. For adults, this recipe is suitable: any glass jar with two fingers should be filled with leaves, filled with vodka so that they are completely covered and the liquid is as much as the previous layer. Then close it with a leak-proof lid, put it in a place protected from the sun and let it infuse for a month. With the onset of cold weather, it is possible to make such a pre-work in advance so that, at the slightest sign of a cold, one can begin to be treated. Drink it should be at night for 50g, while the heat is sheltered.
Infusion on the water: a teaspoon of dry raw material pour a glass of boiling water, cover and leave for 15-20 minutes, the antipyretic is ready.
One of the options for a drink from raspberries, which will help at a temperature is a mors. The properties of this berry do not deteriorate from heat treatment. It is prepared as follows: after boiling a liter of water, 200 g of berries are added and boiled for 10 minutes on low heat. Then it is filtered, the berries are squeezed through the cheesecloth. If desired, you can sweeten with sugar or honey. Similarly, prepare the mors and raspberry jam, put it instead of fresh berries. You can bring to taste with the help of lemon juice and honey. Drink the mors frosted to room temperature.
Compote of raspberries at a temperature, like mors, acts as a diaphoretic antipyretic. The basis for this drink can serve as dried fruit from apples, pears, grapes, apricots, plums, etc. Or various fresh vegetables that are on sale during the period of illness. Adding raspberries, you can drink compote warm at night to sweat well, and you can during the day for the fastest removal of toxins from the body.
Honey and raspberries at temperature - an alternative means, according to the effectiveness of the action erected in a square. This is confirmed by the chemical composition of the apiproduct: vitamin C, B1, B2, B6, E, K, folic acid, a variety of micro- and macroelements, organic acids, flavonoids, phytoncides, hormones, fats. In conjunction with raspberries, it is an excellent fortifying agent that promotes rapid recovery, the removal of toxins and other harmful substances from the body, and hence a decrease in the elevated body temperature.
Use during pregnancy
During pregnancy, raspberry becomes especially relevant, because pharmacological preparations are undesirable during this period. In addition to removing the infection from the body, the berry will serve as a source of calcium, to which it is rich, which is important for the formation of the skeleton of the fetus, removing the edema inherent in pregnant women. There are statements that raspberries help to reduce the uterus and can provoke a miscarriage. This feature is mainly attributed to raspberry leaves. It is unlikely that putting a spoonful of berries in tea, you can cause this reaction. In any case, lowering the temperature with medicines will bring much more harm.
Application for children
The famous doctor Komarovsky argues that no medicine can compare with a raspberry broth with the ability to activate sweating, which is so important for removing toxins from the body and reducing heat. Although he warns that it is necessary to give plenty of water to a sick child and another liquid, in order to have something to sweat. Drink berries and leaves will help to strengthen the immunity of the child, so do not wait for the symptoms of a cold, and with the onset of colds make broths, adding other useful ingredients: rose hips, linden flowers, honey.
