Paul fell grass appeared in our country relatively recently and quickly proved its effectiveness in the treatment of many diseases.
The homeland of the grass is hot tropical countries. Previously, it was supplied to Russia only from the island of Ceylon, but gradually compatriots developed their own technology for growing the medicinal plant, and now half the plant can be found in the summer cottages of admirers of traditional medicine.
The grass reaches a height of no more than 140 cm, has green branched stems with rounded leaves and a grayish root with numerous branches. In July it becomes covered with small white or cream flowers and blooms until early autumn.

Use decoctions, infusions and cakes only fresh and do not store for more than a day so that they do not lose their medicinal properties and deteriorate, turning from medicine into poison. The effectiveness of the plant is so high that the herb is included in a number of herbs and even medications.
Precautionary measures
Despite the huge number of healing properties, woolly erva has a number of contraindications that must be taken into account so as not to harm the body:
- The grass can cause an allergic reaction.
- If the disease has a tendency to excrete calcium in large quantities, you should stop taking half a day. Such diseases include hypoparathyroidism and renal osteodystrophy.
- Cannot be used for rickets.
- Weed is prohibited for children under 12 years of age.
- During pregnancy and breastfeeding, it is advisable to avoid the product.
If there are no contraindications to the use of the herb, you should take it with caution at first, because it can cause side effects. The main symptoms are nausea and allergic rash.
The main contraindication is not to rinse your mouth with liquid or drink from a cup. Erva woolly quickly destroys tooth enamel, so the medicine can only be drunk from a straw. After taking the decoction or infusion, you should thoroughly rinse your mouth and brush your teeth.
When you discover you have kidney stones, you start looking for ways to cure them. Fortunately, there are many medications that are available to varying degrees. If only I had money, I went to the pharmacy and bought what I needed. But it's not that simple.
Many people know very well what horrors are happening in pharmacies today. Up to 1/3 of all medicines are counterfeited. There are also doctors here - they always strive to prescribe expensive medicine that is completely unaffordable. When you ask how much the medicine they prescribed me costs, they answer that they don’t know. What kind of doctors are these if they are not in the know?
Trust in pills is being lost more and more. Therefore, people resort to folk remedies and herbs to treat the disease. It is in them that people today see real helpers in treatment.
Half-fallen grass, or erva woolly grass, is one of the best means of preventing and getting rid of urolithiasis. In my opinion, it is not counterfeited - what's the point in counterfeiting grass? It costs a penny and is absolutely affordable.
But this woolly erva grass heals stones like a magician. She works wonders. I always have a large supply of this herb in my pantry, which I constantly replenish. The miraculous properties of half-fallow will be discussed below. Besides this, there is a not very pleasant moment that I must definitely talk about.
Half-fallen miraculous grass
Its official botanical name is Erva Woolly. Origin is due to the island of Ceylon in the state of Sri Lanka. It is also grown in Russia, both officially and for personal consumption, in vegetable gardens.
Let's look at what kind of half-palm this is, instructions for its use, beneficial properties and the truth about the woolly erva, which for some reason is kept silent.
Half-false instructions
If you take the box in which the half-pal is sold and read the instructions, you will see that the properties of woolly erva are listed in just a few lines. Indications for use in the official statement are only for use as a diuretic and anti-inflammatory agent.
However, traditional medicine looks at sex differently. Let's list the main qualities of this herb so that it becomes immediately clear what its advantages are over other remedies.
- Powerful diuretic. It differs in that, unlike other diuretics, it does not lead the body to severe dehydration. Helps remove uric acid, urea and chlorides in case of urolithiasis, pyelonephritis, urethritis and cystitis. Thanks to the action of the grass, sand is driven out of the body. Of course, there are drugs with a similar effect, for example, phytolysin (phytolysin during pregnancy), canephron. But these are already medications.
- Restores salt balance. If there are disturbances in water-salt metabolism, such as with spondylosis and gout, the herb helps restore it.
- Natural anti-inflammatory. Often, expensive medications are not required to relieve the inflammatory process, which is reduced by increased urination as a result of the action of Erva woolly.
I have listed only three main qualities of the herb. She also has a whole lot of advantages. I'll try to list it in one breath.
- It strengthens the immune system, treats prostatitis and the pancreas, organizes the proper functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, treats atherosclerosis, polyarthritis, normalizes blood pressure and metabolism.
- Pol-pal has a calming effect on the nervous system, it is used for diseases of the upper respiratory tract (tracheitis and bronchitis), and clears the respiratory tract of toxins. It is used to treat hemorrhoids.
- Restores sufficient potassium ion balance. Used in the treatment of ovaries, uterus, spine, polyarthritis. Treats constipation, fibroids, fibroids, acute respiratory infections.
- Erva woolly removes toxins from the body. There is information that helps get rid of the effects of radioactive substances. In many cases, it helps to treat diseases without surgery, for which the herb is rightly called affectionately among the people - "surgeon without a scalpel", and "surgeon by nature".
Ways to obtain herb
The easiest way is to go to the pharmacy and buy. There are packs of 30 and 50 grams. This is how I ensure my supplies. The shelf life is quite long - three years.
However, there is another way - growing grass at home. This is done through seedlings. The method requires a garden. Growing requires quite serious care.
I believe that growing your own herb for consumption would not be worth it for the following reasons:
- Half-fallow grown in the domestic climate loses its medicinal properties. We must remember that the grass is of tropical origin, and appropriate conditions are required for its cultivation.
- If frequent use is necessary for prevention and treatment, a large amount of herb is required. We’re not going to plant the entire garden with half a tree - we also need to plant potatoes somewhere!
This is my personal opinion, with which you may disagree. Many gardeners plant half a tree, use it safely and do not complain.
Method for preparing woolly erva decoction - trust the manufacturer
The packaging states that The decoction is made in 2 ways:
Method 1 - infusion in a water bath
- Pour 2 tablespoons of herbs into an enamel bowl
- Pour 1 cup boiling water
- Leave in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes
- Let cool at room temperature for 45 minutes
- Strain and squeeze
- Add the volume of the decoction with boiled water to 200 ml (glass)
Method 2 - cooking in a thermos
- Pour boiling water over 2 tablespoons of herbs
- Leave for an hour
The second option seems to me more convenient and simpler. That's why I use it. I even purchased a special small half-liter thermos for this purpose. With your permission, I took a photo of my thermos on the windowsill. However, the boxes with half a pile were also photographed there.
I read sites on the Internet. Somewhere they write that you need to insist for up to 8-10 hours. I think it's wrong:
- Firstly, the deadlines are officially written on the packaging of the woolly erva itself.
- Secondly, the brewed herb loses its properties, deteriorates over time and turns from grass into poison.
Therefore, be careful and, in order not to harm yourself, brew the herb as the manufacturer advises. In addition, always drink a fresh decoction for a maximum of 24 hours. There should not be any 2-3 days of storage.
How to take half a decoction
Again, refer to the instructions on the packaging.
- Shake the infusion of woolly erva
- If it's cold, warm it up
- Take warm 50-100 ml (from ¼ to half a glass) 15 minutes before meals 2-3 times a day
- The course of treatment and prevention is from 10 to 30 days.
Thanks to mathematical research, I come to the conclusion that when drinking half a glass of the decoction 3 times a day, 80 grams are required for a course of 10 days, and 240 grams of dry herb for a course of 30 days.
Therefore, for 1 month of use, 5 packages of half-paly, 50 grams each, or 8 packages, 30 grams each, are required.
For prevention, I use half a stick according to the scheme - “ I drink for a month - I rest for a month" This helps me keep my urinary system relatively clean.
Side properties of Erva woolly - why is the manufacturer hiding the truth?
The box with the herb indicates possible side effects - nausea, allergic reactions. However, there is one more action that everyone does not want to experience.
I really want to protect you from the consequences that happened to me. I don't know for what reason, but the manufacturer is hiding a serious side effect that can be costly.
You should know that Half a decoction significantly damages tooth enamel.
I've been drinking it for so long that my front teeth have become very thin. I was extremely confused, and the dentists shrugged their shoulders. I had no idea that this was the effect of the herb. And when I realized, it was already too late.
The teeth ground against each other so much that their upper part became transparent...
Therefore, as a person who has suffered from a dishonest manufacturer, I am warning you.
Plants with medicinal properties can be found in any climate zone, and the peoples inhabiting these territories use medicinal herbs in folk medicine. Many types of medicinal plants are exported to other countries, such as the herb, the main supplier of which until recently was Fr. Ceylon. Since 1992, woolly Erva (Aerva lanata) - this is the botanical name of the plant - has been included in the register of medicinal plants approved for use on the territory of the Russian Federation, and a technology for the industrial cultivation of this plant in conditions typical for Russia has been developed.
