A decoction of oats with medicinal properties and contraindications will help many - often instead of medicines for any ailments.

I share my experience and knowledge, I will tell you what harm and benefit this drink can bring, how to prepare it correctly.

After the New Year and Christmas holidays, during which the food was more fatty than I take every day, and there was also a lot more of it and I wanted to try everything, my body sent me hello in the form of exacerbation of pancreatitis.

The first call was a month ago, when I severely sprained my leg, but I ignored it and simply relieved the pain and swelling, and then it was necessary to help my pancreas return to normal functioning.

Now I had to take emergency measures, since all the delights of exacerbating the functions of the pancreas were on the face.

Png" data-recalc-dims="1">

Therefore, I want to immediately warn everyone:

If you sprained your leg, especially in your left ankle- we immediately begin to deal with our pancreas, so as not to aggravate the process. This is one of the sure signs of a violation of its work.

What did I do? Below I will describe my personal experience. A decoction of oats helped me a lot. Therefore, I will sing a song to him now!

Medicinal properties and contraindications of oat decoction, how to properly prepare oat decoction, benefits and harms

A decoction of oats has excellent medicinal properties and minor contraindications. But it can also harm the body ...
I want to immediately emphasize - if it is wrong to prepare a decoction of oats, then it will not bring benefits- at best, and at worst - will harm the body. And although many say that there are no contraindications and harm in the use of water extracts of oats, I will allow myself to disagree and give specific arguments in this article.

Contraindications

There are practically no obvious and strict contraindications. You just need to be careful when using it if you experience:

• the presence of stones in the gallbladder
• removed gall bladder
• cardiovascular failure
• kidney failure
• increased acidity of the stomach
• individual intolerance to the components
• serious liver disease

It is necessary to refrain from using the decoction until consulting a specialist. Infusion or decoction in these cases can only be used at recommended doses by a herbalist or gastroenterologist. The risk of self-medication is high.

The harm of oatmeal drink due to the content of phytin

The presence of phytin in the grain brings the greatest harm to the body. Most people don't know about it at all. it growth inhibitors, which do not allow the grain to grow under adverse conditions. They are represented by phytic acid and its salts - phytates.

Phytin is found in grains (especially in bran), nuts, legumes, seeds.
What harm do phytates and phytic acid cause:

• phytic acid binds and removes important trace elements from the body- calcium, zinc, copper and iron, which enter the body with food, that is, it can be the cause of mineral deficiency
• she is inhibits the action of enzymes, food is poorly digested or not digested at all. This is especially true for pepsin and trypsin, that is, enzymes for the breakdown of proteins.
• prevents absorption of phosphorus, so necessary for the construction of bone tissue, which is in a bound state and it is he who is part of phytic acid in large quantities

Phytic acid is a storehouse of phosphorus in plants, which is absorbed only by ruminants. A person cannot absorb phosphorus from plants without first treating phytic acid with the enzyme phytase, which breaks it down. That is, in order for any grain, including oats, to bring benefits, not harm, it is necessary to create all conditions for the activation of the phytase enzyme.

The enzyme is activated in three cases:

1. soak with or without further fermentation
2. roasting(this is how phytates are removed from coffee and chocolate beans)
3. germination- the most efficient way

Attention!
Why do I write so many letters?
So that you understand that in many recipes that are on the Internet, it is recommended soak whole oats in water(that is, those that contain phytin) for several hours and then boil them in the same liquid. And rightly so - drain this liquid and rinse the grains! And for cooking and languishing fill with fresh water.

Medicinal properties and benefits of decoction

The broth and jelly prepared on its basis were used even in the times of the Vikings. The effect on the body is very versatile and the benefits are beyond doubt. I will briefly list the benefits of using the decoction and in which diseases its therapeutic effect is most pronounced:

1. Enveloping properties. Oatmeal contains beta-glucan or soluble fiber. After the decoction enters the stomach, it changes its structure and turns into a jelly-like substance that covers the mucous membrane with a thin layer, alleviating the condition of patients with gastritis or stomach ulcers.
2. Prevents sugar spikes in patients with diabetes. Contains inulin- a substance that replaces sugar in diabetes.
3. Reduces drug addiction thanks to the content scopoletine. The benefit is manifested in the fact that using the decoction for a long time, it helps to quit smoking, drinking and get rid of drug addiction, causing disgust for them.
4. Calms the nervous system and improves sleep due to the high content of B vitamins. Relieves depression.
5. Restores muscles. The presence of tryptophan in the decoction helps in building muscle tissue and due to this, oatmeal decoction is included in the nutrition of athletes.
6. Diaphoretic and antipyretic action for acute respiratory infections and colds, pneumonia and coughs. In this case, the decoction is prepared not on water, but on milk, and honey with raisins is added to it.
7. Cleanses the body thanks to soluble fiber, it removes salts of heavy metals and any toxins. The cleansing function of the drink is used for many diseases:
   • with food and other body poisoning
   • when restoring functions liver and pancreas weakened by toxins glands
   • in oncology, especially after chemotherapy - to restore the normal functioning of almost all organ systems poisoned by chemicals in large doses

   There are reports on the Internet about studying the influence beta glucan to inhibit the development of cancer cells.

8. Reduces blood cholesterol levels. Thanks to beta-glucan (soluble fiber), oat decoction removes low-density cholesterol from the body, improving the condition of blood vessels and heart function.
9. Relieves swelling. A decoction is useful for edema and urolithiasis - it removes excess fluid from the body.
10. Oats are gluten free(unlike all cereals), and therefore it can be introduced into the diet by those people who avoid foods containing gluten in their diet.
11. Actively rejuvenates the body stimulating tissue regeneration. Oatmeal broth is called the elixir of youth - there is a fact in history that it was the regular use of this drink that helped the French doctor Jean de Saint-Catherine live to be 120 years old.
12. Useful for weight loss. An oat drink contains all the substances necessary for the body - even soluble proteins with rare amino acids - lysine and tryptophan, vitamins and minerals. An oatmeal drink nourishes the cells with the necessary substances and thanks to this, cellular starvation is removed during diets, which means - reduces appetite. I hope you understand that it is included in diets to reduce appetite, not to burn fat. To burn fat, you will have to give physical activity to the body, and if someone promises you otherwise, do not believe it!
13. Source of protein for vegetarians. An oatmeal drink with a vegetarian diet supplies the body with vegetable proteins soluble in broth.

We have considered the main useful properties of oatmeal decoction and its benefits. Now let's move on to the preparation of the drink itself.

How to make a decoction, recipes

The most important thing that we need to do in order to prepare a decoction - split the phytin. This is possible during soaking, fermentation or long-term heat treatment - languishing. For many grains soaking for two hours in water is enough to activate phytase- an enzyme that breaks down phytin and releases the bound phosphorus in phytic acid for its further assimilation.

But there are two cereals that contain a certain amount of phytase and she in them hardly activated when soaked in water are oats and corn. The graph shows that after 12 hours of soaking corn and oats, the content of phytin is 75% of the amount of phytin before soaking, while wheat and rye do not contain phytin after two hours of soaking. That is, soaking oats and corn in water does not remove phytin.

What are we going to do with oats so that they get rid of the phytin before preparing the decoction? There are several ways:

• whey fermentation overnight
• germination of oat grains

Oat decoction recipes

1. Common Recipe, which is described everywhere (it has a fitin). Soak overnight 1 cup of whole oats with husks. For 12 hours of soaking, oats will lose 25% of phytin. In the morning, drain the liquid, rinse the oats well and pour 1 liter of water. We put on fire, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a minimum and simmer the oats for 4-6 hours (I set it overnight). With prolonged languor, part of the fitin will also disintegrate. Turn off the heat and leave the broth to infuse until it cools completely. After that, drain the liquid, add water to a volume of 1 liter. Once again bring to a boil and drink the prepared amount of drink in two days.

2. Decoction of fermented oats. In the evening, pour 1 glass of oats with whey husks after boiling the cottage cheese so that it covers it well. It must be taken into account that the grain will swell and increase in volume, so whey should always be twice as much in volume as the grain. If there is no serum, we make a weak solution with apple cider vinegar (one teaspoon per liter of water) or lemon juice. We put in a warm place for the night or for 12-14 hours. An indicator that you can start making a decoction is a swollen grain.

In the morning, drain the liquid, rinse the grains through a strainer so as not to wash off the husk. Fill with water in a volume of 1 liter and put on the stove for 2 hours to languish. After cooling we separate the brewed drink from oat grains, bring water to a volume of 1 liter and drink 100 ml 4-5 times before meals. Let's drink to two days.

3. . The most useful and correct preparation of a drink from sprouted oats. It is not boiled. The process will be lengthy:
Soak oat grains for 12 hours with water. We drain the water. We spread the swollen grains on filter paper or gauze in a thin ball and keep warm until most of them hatch (no need to wait for sprouts!).

We collect grains from gauze in a blender, add water so that it covers the grains. You can add 1 tablespoon of honey. Thoroughly grind the mixture. It's like a smoothie drink. Drink in the morning on an empty stomach half a glass of drink. The rest is during the day. We don't leave it on the second day. There is no need to boil anything here.

The main thing is that in the swollen whole grain, enzymatic hydrolysis (splitting) of all nutrients occurs so that the germ has the strength and building material for rapid germination. And we use this power and a huge amount of biologically active substances for our body.

In terms of nutritional value (especially with honey), it has no equal. Fast restores strength, boosts immunity seriously ill in the postoperative, postpartum periods, after nervous and physical exhaustion, after chemotherapy.

Personally, I'm too lazy to do sprouting every day. I did this with an exacerbation of pancreatitis. And for every day I use sprouted grains of oats, barley, wheat and corn, prepared according to a special technique developed by Ukrainian scientists. I think that my parents lived to this age with their sores due to their fantastic effect on cell regeneration and rejuvenation.

Any of the listed basic recipes can be improved, adding other medicinal plants or their fruits.

For example, adding raisins in the same amount as oat grain, we get an excellent remedy for colds, SARS or flu. For children, we replace boiling water with milk.

You can strengthen the decoction of oats by mixing it with rosehip infusion in a thermos and enriched with a high content of vitamin C. How right to make a rosehip infusion in a thermos, see the article "" and do not think that you are doing it right - I also poured boiling water over it ... Good to drink during flu season to boost immunity.

For heart disease can be cooked separately a decoction of the roots of elecampane and oats and ready-made infused liquids combine about add a spoonful of honey. And you can pour the crushed elecampane root (a tablespoon) with 0.5 liters of oatmeal and bring to a boil, turn it off, wrap it for 2 hours or pour it into a thermos, strain after infusion and add honey to the not hot mixture. Drink morning and evening 0.5 cups half an hour before meals.

When mixing infusion of hawthorn and oatmeal drink take the mixture at high pressure.

If done decoction on a mixture of grains of oats, rye, barley and millet and take it regularly reduced cravings for tobacco and easier to quit smoking. A ready-made set of sprouted cereals, which I spoke about above, also works, despite a slightly different composition. At least he helped me get rid of this habit. By the way, so does my brother.

How to take a decoction of oats

If the decoction is properly prepared and there is no special dosage from your doctor for certain diseases, then the question of how to drink a decoction can be safely answered - as tea or instead of tea. In most cases, it is recommended to drink a decoction of 100 ml half an hour before meals. If there is no special scheme - until complete recovery.

Oats are useful and children, especially with persistent colds, he can also cope with allergies and childhood diathesis.

Children should consume the decoction within a month in such quantities (depending on age):

• from 6 months to a year, one teaspoon in the morning and evening
• from one to two years - one dining room in the morning and in the evening
• from two years to five years, 1/3 cup once a day (divide the serving into two doses)
• from 5 years to 10 from 1/2 cup once a day (divided into two doses)

There is no addiction of the body to natural preparations!

It is believed that at this time it is necessary to reduce or even abandon black coffee and tea, as they do not allow many substances from the broth to be absorbed.

It makes no sense to use alcohol and oatmeal at the same time, since then the cleansing function, support for the liver and pancreas does not make sense. That is, for the period of treatment or prevention with a decoction of oats, it is necessary to stop drinking alcoholic beverages.

The decoction is taken warm. It must be stored in the refrigerator. A decoction is prepared for a maximum of two days, as it quickly deteriorates.

How I managed to stop the exacerbation of pancreatitis. Personal experience

In an article about, I promised to tell my personal experience with an exacerbation of pancreatitis. And now I share it - what I did and in what order.
I had to immediately apply a fairly large complex of both folk remedies and food restrictions. I'll tell you in order.

1. One day I didn’t eat at all - the body simply didn’t want to categorically.
2. I drank a lot of water - warm.
3. Taken in the morning, afternoon and evening a decoction of oat grains and a cold infusion of flax grains.
4. I made an infusion of herbs in a thermos Hypericum and drank instead of tea (1 teaspoon of St. John's wort per 1 liter of boiling water). Sugarless. With a little honey.
5. The second and third days I ate only oatmeal porridge mixed with flax infusion.
6. All the days I took the phytocomplex F. Active to support the pancreas, which relieved bloating (there was a lot of gas) and heaviness in the abdomen, as well as pain just above the navel. Now I continue to take it, although everything has already recovered since the course is 30 days.

Three days later, thanks to the above measures, the feeling of bitterness in the morning in the throat and slight nausea disappeared, a stool formed and an appetite appeared. Now I eat small and often. I continue to drink oatmeal and linseed drink - I liked them and the minimum of taking it is 10 days, and for complete stabilization - 60.

So I can confirm from my own experience that if you immediately help the body and take all the measures recommended above, you can remove the exacerbation of pancreatitis using folk methods.

If the pain is sharp and severe, you do not know your diagnoses - do not self-medicate, consult a doctor so as not to bring acute pancreatitis to an attack.

A decoction of oats improves metabolism in the body, is useful for anemia, nephritis, pneumonia, bronchitis, cough, hepatitis, stomach and duodenal ulcers, chronic gastritis, regardless of the state of acidity of gastric juice.

The secret to the high value of oat broth lies in the use of whole unpeeled grains.

All substances contained in the shell of the grains and in the grain itself pass into the decoction and have the most favorable effect on the body. The abundance of mineral salts of the most valuable micro and macro elements: zinc, phosphorus, iron, cobalt, silicon, fluorine, iodine, together with a complex of vitamins: A, E, K, group B, saturates the body, restores metabolism, improves metabolism.

Also, oat broth contains proteins rich in valuable essential amino acids (lysine, tryptophan), essential oils, fats, carbohydrates.

How to make a decoction of oats

This decoction has a beneficial effect on the activity of the liver, improves the condition of hepatitis, improves the functioning of the gallbladder and the organs of the gastrointestinal tract.

It should be noted that the healing effect of the decoction depends on the quality and purity of the water used. It must be really clean - either distilled, or passed through a quality filter, or purified by freezing with melt water.

A decoction of oats for the stomach. Rinse unpeeled oat grains (with husks), spread out in a thin layer and dry. Then grind the grains in a blender or in a coffee grinder. Pour half a glass of crushed grains with half liters of water and bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Follow the "process", otherwise, the broth easily "runs away" when boiling, like milk.

After cooling, it is good to squeeze the broth through gauze. Bring the volume to 0.5 - 0.6 liters with boiled purified water. Get a slimy decoction in the form of jelly. Divide into three doses per day. Drink half an hour before meals.

If the broth is prepared in the evening, then at night it should be placed in the refrigerator, and warmed up before taking.

Such a decoction of oats has an enveloping effect, protects the stomach in case of gastritis and ulcers, gives efficiency and increases potency in men.

1 cup of washed oats with husks pour 1 liter of milk and cook for 1 hour over low heat. After straining, drink hot, adding oil and honey. A decoction can be taken throughout the day instead of tea, especially at night, with pneumonia (pneumonia). You can not store a decoction of oats in a thermos, as it quickly turns sour.

For pneumonia, bronchitis and cough treatment for colds, a decoction of oats is recommended: 2 tbsp. spoons of oats mixed with the same amount of raisins and pour 1.5 liters of water. Simmer under a lid or simmer in the oven until half of the liquid has evaporated. In the strained broth add 1 tbsp. a spoonful of natural honey.

Take several times a day.

A decoction of oats with elecampane root and honey. For the prevention of coronary heart disease, you can take a drink from oats, elecampane root and honey.

Pour the crushed roots of elecampane with oatmeal, boil and leave for 2 hours. Then strain, add honey. The drink is drunk ½ cup 2-3 times a day before meals.

No less useful is Dr. Izotov's oatmeal jelly, obtained by fermenting oatmeal with kefir sticks, and those who want to lose weight and cleanse their intestines with oats can try the oatmeal diet.

Kissel from oats by Dr. Izotov. Recipe. Beneficial features. Oat cleanse

How useful is such an oatmeal jelly? What diseases can and should be used for?

It is also known as "Dr. Izotov's jelly", and the recipe was based on the ancient recipes of our ancestors, monastic recipes and even recipes from the Soviet book "Domostroy". Cooking it is not entirely easy, but the result of using oatmeal jelly justifies any effort.

Kissel of Dr. Izotov. Recipe

1. In a three-liter jar we pour 500 g of oatmeal ("Hercules") and another 300 g of oat grains ground on a coffee grinder. We pour all 400 ml of kefir or sour milk, the main thing is that the product is as natural as possible, as it will serve as a source of lactic acid bacteria for our jelly. Pour another 1-1.5 liters of warm water (room temperature to activate the future fermentation process). The liquid in the jar should not be up to the very top, but so that there are 5 centimeters along the walls of the jar to the neck. Mix everything gently in a jar with a wooden spoon or spatula and close tightly with a regular lid. Next, close the jar with a towel and put in a dark and warm place for 2 days.
2. After 2 days, filter the mixture, dividing it into liquid and thick using a regular colander. The liquid that was drained first (the filtrate) is poured into one jar (it will turn out about 2 liters). We wash the remaining thick with water, and do not pour out the water that drains during washing, but also pour it into a jar, this will be a filtrate of lower acidity. It will come out about 800 ml. We leave the filtrate to infuse in jars for 16 hours.
3. After the set time, we find that the filtrate has stratified. A thick suspension formed below, which will serve as the basis for oatmeal jelly. The upper, more transparent part is the same oatmeal kvass, which is fashionable to use immediately or make, for example, okroshka based on it.
4. We put the concentrate obtained and separated from kvass in a glass jar and store it closed in the refrigerator for up to 21 days.
5. Now, in fact, we are preparing the jelly itself. To do this, take 1 tablespoon of the concentrate and stir in a glass of water. Let it boil over low heat, stirring well, boil for about 5 minutes. Then you can add honey to the jelly, dried fruit jam - to your taste and discretion. Such a nutritious and healthy breakfast will give you strength, saturate and improve your health. After him, you don’t need anything for 3-4 hours, and you don’t want to. This portion is enough per day - 200 ml, the course is one month, then a break for 3 weeks and you can repeat the course if necessary and desired.

As you can see, oats, the beneficial properties of which are useful for the kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, liver, can be taken in various forms. The main thing is to try this way of dealing with existing problems.

Sprouted oats. Beneficial features

The biggest benefit of oats is in its sprouted form. I blog a lot about sprouted cereals. It is in the sprouts of cereals that all the power is located. Moreover, do not germinate anything for a long time. The most valuable sprouts are 2-3 mm. And even less.

The sprout is the most active phase of the grain, in which all its beneficial substances are concentrated. But besides this, the protein germinating from cereals, including oats, is split during the germination period, forming amino acids that are very useful for us, they are a building material. For those who have problems with blood vessels, this is simply an indispensable tool. The germinated grain contains silicon, which strengthens the walls of blood vessels.

On the blog, I wrote about how. The germination process itself is described in great detail. And there are also recipes with sprouted wheat. You can do the same with oat grains using the same recommendations.

I want to tell you again how to distinguish high-quality cereals, is it possible to germinate any cereals that you bought in a store? Just fill them with water and see. Anything that floats to the surface must be thrown away. I am sure that there will not be many such grains. How much we buy everything for germination, however, a few grains emerge. If there are few such grains, then the grain is suitable for sprouting and will be good for health.

I want to note that you still need to try to save the useful properties of sprouted oats. To do this, it is necessary that the grains do not come into contact with the metal, and the oxidizing process does not begin - try, if possible, not to grind them in a coffee grinder or meat grinder. It is better to eat them as is, bringing the maximum benefit to your body.

I also suggest watching the video material for those who do not quite understand the process of germinating oats.

It was in the 90s of the last century. After working in the capital, I returned home to my family. Then something incomprehensible happened - I began to feel that my strength was leaving me. Every day my condition worsened: it seemed that it was not the disease that had happened, but the life was gradually leaving me. My friends Lyudmila and Galina literally took me by the arms, exhausted, to take unction. I say to my father:

- Father, I drank chicken broth during fasting, I didn’t even have the strength to walk around the house.

- Did you see the horse? - the father asks in response. I was stumped by this question. “And here the horse,” I think. And he kind of answers my thoughts:

- The horse is stronger than you, even though you have never eaten chicken broth in your life. Get some oats and drink for three weeks. You will see that with God's help everything will be fine.

And so it happened. By God's blessing and by the father's advice.

Travnik V.V. Sorokin

oats- a genus of plants from the family Cereals, or Bluegrass (Poaseae). Almost 40 species belong to this genus, growing mainly in the countries of the Old World with a temperate climate (oats are not so common in North and South America).

oats- an annual plant with an inflorescence in the form of a panicle; very unpretentious, can grow on almost any soil, with the exception of sandy and calcareous.

"In the early days of agriculture" oats were considered a weed (like rye) and littered crops of wheat and barley. However, in the northern regions, he gradually replaced the capricious wheat queen, and from about the 2nd millennium BC. e. oats began to be cultivated, that is, it acquired the status of a cultivated plant. It is believed that this happened in Northeast China and Mongolia.

Most types of oats have grains covered with dense scales. These scales are removed during the mechanical processing of grains, when oats are turned into grits. As a result, the grain germ is damaged and such grains can no longer sprout.

But there are also so-called naked types of oats, their grains lie freely between the scales and do not require mechanical processing. Such grains retain their integrity fa thereby "survivability". It is these grains that can be germinated and receive the most valuable product - sprouts.

Soon after people "got acquainted" with oats, they discovered in it not only food, but also healing properties. Already in ancient Greece, oat grain was used for medicinal purposes: liquid oatmeal for constipation, mucous decoction for cough, grain for compresses.

Oat grains contain very powerful enzymes, which the famous Russian physiologist I. P. Pavlov called "genuine life activators." These enzymes promote the absorption of fats in the intestines, carbohydrates, have a beneficial effect on the liver, pancreas and even the thyroid gland.

Oats can be eaten raw: soak for half an hour in water or warm milk and add almonds, raisins, grated apple or honey to taste. Natural Therapy recommends oats for postpartum women and hyperactive children. It is an important component of nutrition in diabetes mellitus. Oats regulate acidity in the body. It is useful in inflammatory diseases of the stomach and intestines, as well as ulcers. It is difficult to find any contraindications for the use of oats.

Dishes from oatmeal or oatmeal are included in almost any therapeutic diet, as they have an enveloping effect, thanks to which they protect the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, oats very well remove harmful salts from the body (for example, salts of heavy metals), that is, oats have just cleansing properties. True, at the same time, useful salts (in particular, calcium) that the body needs are also removed, which is natural, since neither oats nor any other remedy with a similar effect can “choose” which salts to remove and which not. That is why you should not sit on a purely oat diet for too long; it is recommended to add foods rich in calcium to ready-made oat dishes.

Chemical composition and healing properties

Oat grain contains a high amount of starch, fat, protein, as well as amino acids and minerals. Oats contain sterols, steroidal saponins, gum, organic acids (oxalic, malonic, erucic), coumarin scopoletin, vanillin glycoside, vitamin E, B 1 , B 2 , B 3 , A.

Clinical experiments have shown that oatmeal lowers cholesterol and lipid levels in the blood. Oats, more than other cereals, are rich in phospholipids - this is the "building material" for the cell membranes of the nervous tissue.

Cereal proteins have lipotropic properties - this allows them to be used in clinical nutrition for diseases of the heart and liver. Oat grains are widely used in choleretic preparations. Mucous decoctions of oats are used in the treatment of viral hepatitis.

Green grass is not inferior to grain in terms of therapeutic activity. An infusion of a green plant is an effective diaphoretic, diuretic and antipyretic agent, it also regulates metabolic processes in the heart muscle and nervous tissue. Preparations from straw and unrefined grain increase the protective and regenerative functions of the skin, help eliminate inflammation of the nerve endings. Due to the combination of biologically active substances, and primarily vitamin B 3, oat preparations give positive stable results in the fight against chronic skin lesions - eczema, dermatitis, and diathesis in children. Moreover, they "work" not only in the cells of the skin, but also reduce the sensitivity of the body (desensitizing effect), prevent the occurrence of allergic reactions.

In scientific medicine, oatmeal is considered a convalescent dietary product. A decoction of oats with honey is a good refreshing and nourishing remedy for people who are weakened after debilitating diseases and severe injuries (for example, with a burn disease).

Oatmeal is also used as an enveloping agent in acute inflammatory processes in the gastrointestinal tract. All types of oatmeal, if boiled according to a certain technology, give a large amount of slimy broth. Together with milk, this decoction is included in the most stringent diets for gastric diseases - gastritis, enterocolitis, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer. And oatmeal jelly is prepared as a nutritious dietary and enveloping remedy for stomach and intestinal disorders. In addition, wholemeal oatmeal mucous decoctions are included as an additional remedy in the treatment regimen for iron deficiency anemia. Oats also help with atony - insufficient intestinal motility.

In chronic lead poisoning, oatmeal dishes without milk are introduced into the diet.

The complex of vitamins of group B and other biologically active substances of oats have a beneficial effect on the functioning of the nervous system. Herb infusion

perfectly helps with chronic physical and mental overwork, asthenic conditions, neuroses, sleep disorders.

Daily inclusion in the diet of oatmeal (raw and in the form of porridge) - helps to reduce blood cholesterol levels. They contain a spongy soluble dietary fiber that absorbs cholesterol-forming substances and removes them from the body.

In addition, due to the high content of magnesium, oatmeal dishes prevent the formation of blood clots in the vessels. Therefore, it is useful to include dishes from hercules, oatmeal, oatmeal, bran in the diet of patients with the threat of thrombosis in coronary heart disease, hypertension, thrombophlebitis and after heart surgery.

In folk medicine, oats are used quite widely, not only grain, but also straw. Homeopaths also recognize the medicinal properties of this cereal, especially in the form of essence from fresh plants.

According to some reports, oats well stimulate the smooth muscles of the uterus, help with infertility and impotence.

You see how many specific areas of our body that this cereal helps in case of illness. But it also affects our body as a whole: it strengthens the immune system, normalizes metabolism, helps cleanse all systems, and slows down aging. The most striking feature of oats is its versatility; this means that with practically the same remedy, several systems can be put in order at the same time - the cardiovascular, nervous, and digestive systems.

First of all, the diaphoretic, diuretic and antipyretic effect of oat preparations is used. For this purpose, take 30-40 g of oat straw, cut, insist 2 hours in 1 liter of boiling water. Take 0.5 cup 3 times a day.
