Today, the red root (tea kopeechnik) is a fairly popular medicinal plant. Siberian healers treat diseases of the genitourinary sphere, oncology, anemia, use it as a general tonic and stimulant. But this plant is not always taken correctly and by raising the potency one can get diseases of the liver, kidneys and joints. I, a medical botanist, would like to tell readers in more detail about ancient legends, modern scientific developments and the correct use of the red root.


The red root for me is not only a very useful and effective medicinal plant, it is also a part of my life, my work, my Faith, Hope and Love. Fate brought me together with him in early childhood. In the 70-80s, sports families from the Altai town of Rubtsovsk went on summer vacations to Rudny Altai, in Kazakhstan. And there, high in the mountains, sitting by the fire, we listened with bated breath to the experienced tourist and bard Vladimir Matveyevich Nuzhny. Uncle Volodya grew up in the city of Leninogorsk (Kazakhstan) and knew the plants and legends of this region well.

"This plant is very fond of the bear," said Uncle Volodya. "In the spring or during illness, the beast digs up and is treated with brown roots, so people call it a bear root. This plant is fraught with great power. Once upon a time, the Old Believers came to Altai to look for Belovodie - a paradise on Earth, where honey and milk rivers flow, where people never get sick and live in peace and harmony with themselves and God.But the Dark forces sent pestilence and weakness on them, do not let mere mortals to the gates of Paradise.Then the Master of the Mountains came to the people - a big brown Bear and brought them a huge grassy bush with juicy green leaves and a red root. Saved by a bearish gift of people, they say that the most daring of them still reached Belovodye and live there to this day. And those who did not have the strength to go further settled in Altai. "

On Korgon, in Katanda, Karagay, Leninogorsk and Zyryanovsk, and in other places, the descendants of those Old Believers still live - they honor God and are treated with the gifts of the Mountains. Since then, the red root has been called affectionately - careful, it protects from fever, and from diarrhea, and from scrofula and from evil thoughts.

In the late 80s, my dad met on the train Moscow - Leninogorsk with an elderly Estonian who, accompanied by his granddaughter, went to Rudny Altai to bow to the "enemies of the people" lying in unmarked graves. Then the father helped the former "zek" climb into the mountains to the place of the camp of the repressed in 1937-1939. The old man told how prisoners worked at the mine and the construction of the dam, how high in the mountains they cut down forest, lowered stones and trees down in their hands, how hundreds died from cold, hunger and overwork. Few managed to survive in this hell, only Faith in oneself and in God, and a healing decoction of gum, fir, juniper, wild berries and "squirrel" root (tea penny) saved. The "protein" root was added to both tea and stew, and chewed like that. Local "bergals" (mining workers) taught them that. The Kingdom of Heaven and blessed memory of all those who died innocently in that troubled time for our country....

Kopeck tea is called the "white" root, because it grows high in the mountains, near the squirrels - snowfields. And the genus kopeck got its name because the seeds of these plants look like small one-kopeck coins.

And another mysterious meeting that happened directly with me. Somehow, high in the mountains, in a hard-to-reach place, we met with grandmother Aksinya, who, despite her age, easily carried a voluminous bag with herbs and roots. We invited her to the fire, fed her and listened to her story with great interest. Aksinya does not remember her parents, they were killed during the revolution, they say they were good people, they believed in God and worked honestly. The kulak daughter had to work early, and at the age of 14 the girl got to the mine. And in the mine, the work is hard; in dampness, dust and cold, by the age of 30, Aksinya became like a decrepit old woman: her joints swelled and hurt, her legs swelled, her hair fell out, her skin wrinkled and turned yellow. They wrote her off from the mine to die, but the local herbalist, probably the great-granddaughter of those Old Believers who were looking for Belovodye, went out to Aksinya. She treated her with protein root (tea penny), omek (hemlock or milestone), marina roots (evading peony), goat's milk, honey, pine nuts, wild berries, and even a dozen herbs known to many (origanum, Kuril tea, volodushka, St. John's wort, mint, golden rod, Ivan-tea, etc.). Aksinya, after such treatment, not only got on her feet, but also became so prettier that she soon got married, and gave birth to children, now her grandchildren and great-grandchildren are enjoying the sun. Since then, Aksinya began to help kind people cope with illnesses.

I remember how grandmother Aksinya bowed low to the Earth, the Forest and the Blue Mountains, and said: “Forest - Father, Earth - Mother, Mountains - Aunts, let me take your flesh, not for the sake of cunning, not for profit, but for the sake of life, but for good a business". And before picking the herbs, the grandmother asked them for forgiveness, and with great love and affection she collected yellow "kopecks" - the seeds of the red root and planted them in place of the dug roots. “Grow and bring health to animals and people,” she used to say.

Altai conquered me, I fell in love with its blue mountains, turquoise ringing rivers and wonderful healing plants, and then I decided to become a botanist in order to professionally understand the diversity and beneficial properties of plants. After school, she entered the Faculty of Biology at Tomsk University, and then completed her postgraduate studies at the Central Siberian Botanical Garden (Novosibirsk). And over the years, I have only managed to slightly reveal the secret of the red root.

So, we carried out a spectrophotometric analysis and found that the underground part of the tea kopeka contains a large amount (from 11 to 34% by air-dry weight) of condensed-type oligomeric catechins, which belong to bioflavonoids. Moreover, most catechins are found in the cenopopulations growing in the Rudny Altai (Ivanovsky, Prohodnoy, Lineysky ridges) - from 20 to 34%%, least of all in the cenopopulations on the Multinsky lakes, Katunsky and Korgonsky ridges - from 11 to 13%%. Catechins and color the infusion of tea kopeechnik red. In the forgotten kopeck (from which in 1985 I.M. Krasnoborov isolated the tea kopeck), no catechins were found, but sulfur-containing sugar was found in it. Therefore, the roots of the kopeechnik are tea-brown in color with an astringent taste, and the roots of the forgotten kopeechnik or the South Siberian kopeechnik are white with a sweetish aftertaste. Often these types of kopek grow together and white roots of other kopeks can be found in the red root raw material sold. The use of tincture from different kopecks is not life-threatening, but the phytotherapeutic effect is significantly reduced.

Catechins have high P-vitamin activity (strengthen and restore capillary walls), remove heavy metals from the body and have antioxidant activity (neutralize free radicals). This explains the widespread use of the red root in the treatment and prevention of various diseases (tumors, leukemia, chronic inflammation of the reproductive sphere (prostatitis, fibroids, infertility), neurological and cardiovascular pathologies).

red root medicines

Tincture (balm) of the red root is prepared as follows: 50 g of dry raw materials are infused with 450 ml of 30-40 degree vodka for 7-10 days in a dark place at room temperature. Then strain the tincture, and the balm is ready for use. Roots can be filled with vodka again, insisting in this case for 14 days.

Balm is used from 0.5 tsp. up to 3 tsp, depending on medical indications, 2-3 times a day half an hour before meals, dissolving in a glass of warm herbal or green tea, evening intake - 3 hours before bedtime. The course of treatment is from 1 to 3 months, after a break of 1 month, the course can be repeated. To achieve a stable healing effect, 2 to 4 courses per year are recommended.

You can also make a tea drink, a "bear gift" as my 3-year-old daughter says.

To do this, take a handful (25 g) of the roots, rinse with water and pour boiling water in a thermos, leave for 1 hour and drink like tea with the addition of honey and milk. Water in a thermos can be refilled up to 7 - 10 times. Such tea helps the body cope with many infectious diseases (SARS, influenza, sinusitis, etc.), and it simply has a pleasant taste. "Thank you bear for helping us get well," says my daughter.

Application of the red root

Often the red root is applied incorrectly. Hence the allergies, and headaches, and heaviness in the liver, swelling, nervousness, etc. To avoid this, you must follow a number of rules.

2) Together with the red root, apply cleansing herbs. Biologically active substances of the tea kopek "cleanse" and strengthen the capillaries. The total length of all the capillaries of the human body is about 100,000 km (!), This is approximately the length of a thread that could encircle the globe 3 times along the equator. Can you imagine how much "slag" gets into the liver, kidneys, large blood vessels, intestines and joints after a "massive cleansing" with the red root? And in order to help these organs cope with the increased load, it is necessary to carry out joint cleansing procedures: a bath, massage, physical education and “cleansing” herbs (golden rod, volodushka, horsetail, flax, meadowsweet, wild rose, immortelle, pine needles, birch leaves, currants, raspberries, cherries, strawberries, fir, green tea). When cleaning, it is important that the stool is daily, for this, introduce bran, vegetables, seaweed, prunes into the diet, and if necessary, use senna leaf, buckthorn bark or do enemas.

3) To increase the phytotherapeutic effect, together with the red root (containing vitamin P), it is necessary to use vitamins C and E, which are synergists, that is, the presence of vitamin P increases the absorption of vitamins C and E, and vice versa.

in 1 cup unroasted sunflower seeds or 1/2 cup pine nuts;

in 3 tablespoons of germinated wheat grains;

in 1 st. l. flaxseed oil (store the oil in the refrigerator, in a tightly sealed container);

in 100 IU of pharmacy vitamin E (tocopherol acetate) (1/3 teaspoon of oil solution or 1 capsule), you can use the complex preparation "Aevit" 1-2 capsules per day (but not more than 2 months).

The daily dose of vitamin C (100 mg or 2000 IU) contains:

in 1 st. l. syrup or dry rose hips;

50 g (3 tablespoons) berries (cranberries, lingonberries, sea buckthorn, etc.);

in 70 g of radish, horseradish;

in 100 g of dill, green pepper;

in 160 g of orange, Victoria; in 200 g of lemon, grapefruit;

in 250 g of tangerine, fresh cabbage; in 300 g of green onions, sauerkraut, parsley, gooseberries, raspberries;

in 400 ml of coniferous broth (3 tablespoons of young needles (fir, pine, spruce) per 1 cup of boiling water).

The healing properties of the roots of the kopeck tea are widely known, but few people know about the benefits of "tops". Remember, in the first legend, the Master of the Mountains brought the whole plant (grass and roots) to people. The aerial part of the kopecks (k. forgotten, k. alpine, k. yellowing, k. South Siberian, k. tea) contains vitamins, flavonoids and xanthones (the main one is mangiferin). The latter substance has a high antiviral activity. From the grass to. alpine and to. yellowing, an antiviral, primarily anti-herpes, drug "Alpizarin" is obtained.

Herpes infection is quite insidious and dangerous. Herpes can cause headaches, high blood pressure, nervousness, frequent colds, infertility or miscarriage, decreased attention and performance, etc. Therefore, it is very important to first get rid of herpes by driving it into a “cage”, and only then apply potent headache medications. pain or neuroses. At home, herpes and frequent viral infections can be successfully fought with propolis and red root (separately prepared root and herb tinctures). There is evidence of the treatment of this complex of latent infections (chlamydia, mycoplasmosis, ureaplasmosis). More details about the treatment of herpes folk remedies in the next article.

A water-alcohol extract (tincture) from kopek herb is prepared as follows: fill a 500 g jar 1/3 of the volume with dry grass (1/2 fresh) and pour vodka to the top. Put for 10 days in a dark place, then strain. Take 1 teaspoon 3-4 times a day in 100 ml of water 30 minutes before meals, in a course of 1 month. It is advisable to first drink propolis (alcohol or oil extract) for 10 days, then tincture of kopek herb for 30 days, then any plant immunomodulators (tea root, licorice, golden or maral roots, burdock, clover, chamomile, calendula, St. John's wort) for 30-60 days , nettle, meadowsweet, etc.), and repeat the course: propolis, kopek (grass), immunomodulators (including kopek roots). If necessary, conduct from 2 to 4 courses per year.

That's because, as in nature, everything is harmoniously invented: grass - to overcome viruses, roots - to cleanse the blood, raise immunity and put a barrier to re-infection. Once again you are convinced that there are no useless things in nature and a healing herb has been created for any disease, only we, people, often forget about it.

About the disappearance of the kopeck

The huge popularity of the red root can cause its complete destruction in nature. The fact is that the tea kopeck is a rather rare plant that grows mainly only in the Mountainous, Rudny and Mongolian Altai. It reproduces only by seeds, which are formed periodically in individuals of 8–10 years of age, and plants that have reached 10–80 years are usually harvested. And most likely, at the place of grazing and harvesting, the red root will never grow again. We, scientists - botanists of the Central Siberian Botanical Garden, offer a real program for the restoration of the tea kopek in nature and its introduction into culture. We alone cannot materially and physically implement this project, and, perhaps, with the help of readers and herbalists, foresters and harvesters, we will be able to plant plantations of tea kopek in the Altai mountains and in the gardens of our readers. In our laboratory, together with the Botanical Garden of Tomsk, agrotechniques for growing kopecks have been developed. True, it is quite difficult to grow a red root (it grows slowly, it is demanding on moisture and lighting), but other types of kopecks (South Siberian, yellowing, forgotten) grow without any problems in Western Siberia, their roots are less valuable, but the tops regularly fight various infections and viruses.

It has a long tree-like root, its length can reach 5 m, and its thickness is not more than 12 cm. The plant has branched shoots, rich green in color. Long oblong leaves depart from the base of the plant. In the summer, during the flowering period, the kopek throws out a spikelet, on which purple inflorescences appear. The flowers are collected in exquisite multi-flowered racemes. Since autumn, fruits ripen on them, which resemble coins in shape, hence the name came from among the people.
