Types of medicinal compositions
To be used for medicinal purposes, dried crusts need to be able to properly prepare medicines. Depending on the preparation method, the properties of the resulting medicine will also differ. It is necessary to select suitable recipes for each disease. But there are some traditional, universal recipes that can be applied to all occasions.
Infusion
To prepare medicinal infusion, you can choose one of two ways. The first is to prepare the product in a closed container, infusion for 2-3 hours. The second option is to make an infusion in a thermos, where a constant temperature of the liquid is maintained. You need to insist on such a remedy for 3-4 hours. Proportions for 1 liter of water - 25 g of grass. Brew the raw materials and close in a thermos or in another container with a lid.
For the infusion to be truly healing, you need to stand it for at least 2 hours, and then drain it by filtering it through a sieve or clean gauze. The aqueous infusion cannot be stored for too long. The maximum time is 3 days.
Tincture
The most concentrated version of all dosage forms is an alcoholic or vodka tincture. You can take pure alcohol (medical), moonshine or store-bought vodka as a basis. To prepare with vodka, you need to take a 500 ml glass of collection, with pure alcohol - 1 tablespoon per 100 ml.
The tincture is prepared in a dark glass dish or in a completely opaque container. The fact is that the ingress of ultraviolet rays can spoil the tincture, so you need to protect it from light.
Decoction
You can cook the broth over low heat in a saucepan with a thick bottom, or boil it in a water bath. It is better to cook the broth for several days at once. For 1 liter of water, you need to take 2 tablespoons of the herb. Pour it into a saucepan cold water, and then slowly bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes.
The finished broth cannot be strained immediately, you need to let it stand for at least 40-50 minutes, and then pour it into the jar through a sieve. Drink a decoction of 50 ml, at least 2-3 times a day. Since this version of the drug is quite concentrated, it is necessary to reduce the treatment time to 2 months. You can continue taking the broth of dried crushed milk only after a break.
Ointment
To prepare an ointment from dried crushed milk, you need to find a suitable base. You can use regular baby oil or buy a ready-made emulsion base. They are sold in stores that stock DIY organic cosmetics. But people most often use a natural basis for the preparation of an ointment from a herb - melted pork fat. Recipe and cooking technology:
- Melt 200 g of pork fat in a deep, thick-walled container.
- When it's thin, add 1 cup dry, chopped herb.
- Cook under a closed lid on the lowest heat for 1.5 hours.
- Let the product stand for a while so that it is not too hot.
- Gently pour into a jar through a sieve so that parts of the plant do not get into the ointment.
- Wait until it cools completely and send the resulting ointment to the refrigerator, having previously closed it with a lid.
The ointment is for external use only. This remedy can be used on minor burns, wounds and ulcers. It helps with insect bites, allergic reactions, as well as furunculosis and wounds that do not heal for a long time.
Butter
The oil extractor can be used externally and internally. With the help of vegetable oils, a valuable extract can be obtained, in which active components and fatty acids will be present. There are two ways to make buttermilk-based butter.
- Take 250 ml of refined vegetable oil, heat to 70 degrees on the stove. Pour in 50 g of grass, stir, without raising the temperature under a closed lid for 2 hours. For convenience, the mixture can be cooked in the oven. After cooling down, strain the mixture and pour it into a dark glass bottle.
- The second way is cold oil infusion. It takes more time to prepare it, but in such a product the concentration of active components will be higher. Pour 100 g of herb into a bottle, pour 400 ml of vegetable oil and close. Insist for 30 days, and then strain and use.
The oil from the dried crushed milk is aromatic, softens and heals the skin, helps with varicose veins, can be used for cracks in the anus, for hemorrhoids, as well as for softening the skin of the feet with a tendency to cracking and peeling.

The best time is the end of the morning, when the dew has already evaporated and the heat has not yet begun.
The bush is completely cut with a knife at a height of 2-3 cm from the ground. If the grass is contaminated with soil, it must be rinsed with cold water. The raw material is dried by spreading it out in an even layer on the fabric in the shade.

At the end of drying, the raw materials must be sieved through a sieve and packed in linen bags up to 20 g or in cardboard boxes of 100 g. If the preparation and storage are performed correctly, then the shelf life of such a collection reaches three years.
