(Google translate from Czech)
In nature, we find almost everything we need for our lives and health. Unfortunately, nature is not omnipotent either. No one has yet found an herb against "human nonsense".
However, this does not prevent us from going to nature and looking for other, healthy, plants.
You guessed it right. We will look for medicinal plants in the topic for this challenge. Specifically, it will be the plants that strengthen the immune system. So. The topic is:
You will certainly find a plant in your area that strengthens our immune system. If you know of any, do not hesitate to introduce this plant to us :-).
Your tasks for this topic:
- take a documentary photo
- write what you found (including the scientific name)
- describe the effects of the plant and do not forget to indicate the source of the information
A little inspiration for you:
At the end of last year, in a discussion on one of my articles, I received interesting information and also a link to wikipedia. A colleague from the Czech community () wanted to help me overcome my illness (covid).
Since January of this year, on every walk in the forest, I turn my eyes to the treetops and look for the mushroom Chaga (Inonotus obliquus). I knew I would see this mushroom sooner or later. I succeeded last week :-). However, on the next expedition, I will have to take a long ladder. The fungus grows very high on the birch.
Would you say that this ugly "something" can boost our immunity?
According to information from wikipedia, this fungus contains many substances beneficial to our health
betulin and betulinic acid
• melanin
• water-soluble polysaccharides, alcohol-soluble polysaccharides
• protein-bound polysaccharides
• beta glucans
• trace minerals
• fiber and amino acids
However, the article no longer states that this fungus also contains vitamin D, which our immune system needs. I have this information from my colleague mentioned above :-).
Are you interested in this topic? In that case, go to nature and find a plant source for us to strengthen the immune system.
Just a little warning for the contestants.
