Kalanchoe treatment
The name "Kalanchoe", unusual for Russian rumor, came to us from the Chinese language, used also in the Latin name. Under natural conditions, this plant is widespread in tropical regions of Africa, South and South-East Asia and South America.
Meanwhile, the Kalanchoe has long since evolved from an exotic guest to our good friend and family doctor. Now it can be found on the windowsills of many city apartments.
Refers to the Kalanchoe family of Tolstoyans. All the plants of this botanical community have succulent stems and fleshy leaves. No wonder the Latin name of the family comes from the word crassus - "fat."To this remarkable family belong such famous medicinal plants as rhodiola rosea( golden root) and various purgatives. The genus Kalanchoe is small in botanical measures - it includes about 200 species. But in spite of its relatively small number, representatives of this kind offer such a rich choice of properties that it is simply impossible to resist and not to get this unique plant at home. The most common species in us - Kalanchoe pinnate and Kalanchoe Degremona - are widely known among the people due to their medicinal properties. They are used not only in folk medicine, but are studied and evaluated by official medicine. Many flower growers are attracted by the decorative properties of different Kalanchoe and the colorful variety of its flowers. Some species are distinguished by unusual forms of stems and leaves. In Kalanchoe felt, for example, a very beautiful unusual pubescence.
But most striking is the unique ability of Kalanchoe to vegetative reproduction. And not only cuttings and fragments of leaves, but also with the help of so-called "children."Such species of Kalanchoe are called "pseudohydrous".Some botanists separate them into an independent genus - Briophyllum. In Greek, this name means "sprouting leaf".Such an extraordinary ability of the plant to breed many new viable organisms in its time struck the great German poet Johann Wolfgang Goethe. In one of his letters he writes about the Kalanchoe: "As from a single sheet there is an innumerable number of new shoots, so from one constant love one can draw all new and new happiness."In memory of the poet, the Kalanchoe is called "Goethe's Tree" or "Goethe's Flower".
Kinds of Kalanchoe
Of course, first of all we are interested in those species that are valued for their medicinal properties.
Kalanchoe Degremona( Kalanchoe daigremontiana, Briophyllum daigremontianum).The native land of this species is the tropical regions of Africa, the Cape region, the island of Madagascar. It is unpretentious - it can be found along the sea coasts, along the banks of rivers, on stony slopes and dry open places. Like other species of Kalanchoe, this is a perennial herbaceous plant.
Leaves fleshy, of characteristic shape: narrow-ovate or oblong-lanceolate;sometimes folded along the middle vein;stretched, resemble the muzzle of a crocodile;rather long - in nature can reach a length of 20 cm. The color of the leaves is greyish-green; on the lower surface there may be violet spots.
This species is the champion among the Kalanchoe for vegetative reproduction. At the edges of the leaves in the recesses between the teeth, numerous brood buds appear. Of these, small plants with air roots develop. Getting on the ground, they successfully develop into an adult plant.
Kalanchoe pinnate( Kalanchoepinnata).The birthplace of this plant is now difficult to establish - perhaps it is the islands of the Green Cape, the Canary Islands or the same Madagascar. The matter is that it has been cultivated for a long time in the agroculture of both hemispheres. And since reproduction does not constitute any special problems for him, the Kalanchoe pinnate is able to easily be bitten and settled in unfamiliar places.
In natural conditions this plant is quite large - it can reach a height of 1 meter. The stem is woody at the bottom, the root is short, branched. Leaves are fleshy, juicy, located opposite;lower - simple, oval, with a corrugated edge;upper - odd-pinnate-dissected or divided into 3-5 parts. Their color is lighter than the previous species. Flowers large, tubular, greenish-white-pink, up to 3-5 cm long, collected in the apical paniculate inflorescence. Blooms in the second year of life, usually in the winter-spring period( February-March), irregularly;is characterized by poor fruit bearing.
Kalanchoe pinnate also forms brood buds, but less often and not as abundant as Kalanchoe Degremon. It is able to form daughter plants on leaves distant from the mother plant and placed in water.
Both Kalanchoe pinnate and Kalanchoe Degremona - both these plants received the honorary titles of "tree of life", "indoor ginseng", "home doctor" and even "a surgeon without a knife".It is said that Goethe enjoyed their healing properties - he ate daily on a tablespoon of "children", this plant for the rejuvenation of the body. We still have a story about these medicinal properties.
Of those kinds of Kalanchoe that are appreciated for their decorative properties, it is worth mentioning the Kalanchoe of Blossfeld, Fedchenko, Béhar, felt, trumpet, and also Kalanchoe Panda.
Biochemical composition of
The biochemical composition of the green mass of the Kalanchoe has not yet been fully studied. Scientists have more to work on, explaining the healing effect of juice on the human body.
Juicy leaves and stems contain up to 94% moisture. The juice contains:
flavonoids( gelatin, quercetin, kaempferol);
organic acids( malic, acetic, citric, oxalic);
tanning agents;
polysaccharides;
some enzymes( eg, malic acid dehydrase, carboxylase oxalic acid);
vitamins( including C and P);
mineral salts, micro- and macro elements( aluminum, iron, magnesium, calcium, copper, silicon and manganese).
The biological activity of the Kalanchoe juice is due, above all, to the unique combination of chemical compounds that make up its composition.
Flavonoid glycosides have P-vitamin activity. This means that they are able to exert bactericidal and choleretic action on the body, help to remove toxic and radioactive substances from the body.
Tannins give the plant astringent, bactericidal, anti-inflammatory, hemostatic properties. Enzymes are the necessary participants in the metabolism, playing the role of catalysts in it. Vitamin C also plays an important role in the regulation of metabolic processes at the cellular level, in particular oxidative processes;increases resistance to infections. Vitamin P( rutin) strengthens the walls of blood vessels.
Pharmacological properties of
Apply Kalanchoe for medicinal purposes in our country for a long time. The first to pay attention to the "tree" of life is not official physicians, but lovers of indoor floriculture and began to use it not only as an external means, but also for oral administration.
People quickly noticed the outstanding ability of the plant to heal wounds and relieve inflammation, heal the runny nose, help with colds, serve as a preventive remedy during the flu epidemic. Fresh mashed leaves of Kalanchoe stop bleeding from wounds, quickly relieve acute pain, even dental, treat panaritium( purulent inflammation of the nail bag) and mastitis( mammary gland);perfectly heal wounds, frostbite, burns, fistulas. Juice Kalanchoe in domestic life successfully treated skin rashes and even eczema. In cosmetology with the help of the Kalanchoe juice successfully fight with acne and pigment spots on the face.
Observatory flower growers began to exchange their accumulated experience, including in the mass media. In the early sixties, reports about a unique plant-healer were interested in research and development facilities. The Kalanchoe was noticed as a source of new medicines for domestic medicine. Laboratory testing and clinical trials confirmed the miraculous properties of the plant. In addition, as a result of numerous experiments, its complete harmlessness was established.
Since 1966, juice and ointment based on Kalanchoe juice have been included in the state register of medicines, and for the first time the plant was used only as an external remedy for the treatment of long-term healing wounds, ulcers, fistulas, burns.
As a medicinal raw material, the aerial part of the calanchoe is used. Juicy fleshy leaves and stems produce juice, then it is subjected to special treatment. Thanks to a large number of biologically active substances, the Kalanchoe juice has a lot of useful properties. It has:
bactericidal properties( destroys harmful microorganisms);
bacteriostatic properties( neutralizes bacteria and stops their growth);
anti-inflammatory properties( inhibits the development of inflammation);
hemostatic properties;
the property to quickly clean wounds and ulcers from necrotic( dead tissue);
wound-healing properties( promotes rapid epithelization of wound and ulcer surface, restoration of the skin).
Therefore, as an external agent in the form of juice and ointment, it is indispensable in the treatment of wounds, trophic ulcers and thermal burns.
As a means for internal application of Kalanchoe juice, official medicine has not yet been studied enough. But there is evidence that it has a choleretic effect, reduces the cholesterol in the blood and normalizes the activity of the gallbladder. In addition, with inflammatory processes in the stomach and intestine, the Kalanchoe juice successfully treats mucosal damages of these organs.
And now let's list the main advantages of this natural preparation:
Kalanchoe juice is low toxic;
does not irritate the skin and mucous membranes;
has practically no contraindications to the application.
So the hopes placed on him by the honorary titles of "indoor ginseng" and "home doctor", Kalanchoe fully justifies.
Treatment of wounds and ulcers
The wound or ulcer is irrigated with 1 -2 ml of Kalanchoe juice using a syringe, through a small diameter needle. Then, on the surface of the damaged area, apply 4-5 layers of gauze, abundantly moistened with juice. The napkin is cut out and applied in such a way that it repeats the contours and dimensions of the wound. The skin around the damaged area must first be treated with alcohol or a warm solution of furacilin. If the wound is purulent, an antibiotic is added to the juice - how to do it at home, the treating doctor will tell. In case there is a burning sensation, the phytopreparation should be diluted with an equal amount of 0.5-1% solution of novocaine. Twice a day, the bandage should be re-moistened with the juice of the plant. If they treat wounds in a diabetic patient, then it is recommended to add insulin to the juice. The course of treatment usually lasts 25-30 days.

Treatment is carried out as follows: on the infected wound or after the opening of the purulent focus, apply bandages with St. John's wort oil. They continue to do until the inflammatory process subsides and
begins to granulate( tighten) the wound. Then the ointment of Kalanchoe comes into play - make bandages already with it. The oil of St. John's wort is a powerful bactericide, and the Kalanchoe ointment actively stimulates the healing process of tissues. This method allows you to halve the treatment time and ensure success. In the treatment of extensive erosion of the skin, ointment of Kalanchoe with furazolidone is used.
Treatment of pressure sores
The procedure is the same as in the treatment of trophic ulcers and purulent infection with tissue necrosis. Affected areas of the skin are treated with preparations with plant juice.
