Primroses - Primulaceae.

Popular names: ears, heavenly keys, St. Peter's flowers, rams, golden keys.

Parts used: rhizome and flowers.

Pharmacy name: primrose root - Primulae radix (formerly: Radix Primulae), primrose flowers - Primulae flos (formerly: Flores Primulae).

Botanical description... These spring flowers, so beloved by us, have an erect, leafless stem and rhizome, from which numerous fibrous roots extend. Leaves in basal rosette elongated to ovate, tapering downward in general outline, pubescent on both sides. At the end of a more or less long stem, there are flowers collected in an umbrella. The calyx is whitish-green, ribbed, the corolla is tubular, widening from above, yellow, bright golden in the middle. Blooms in March-April. Grows in dry meadows.

Collection and procurement. Rhizomes are harvested in September and, after cleaning them from the ground, are dried in the shade; flowers are harvested in spring.

Active ingredients. The main active ingredient is saponin; besides it, the primrose contains flavones and essential oil. Silicic acid and tannins should also be mentioned. The amount of active ingredients in flowers is much less than in rhizomes.

Curative action and application. Saponin-containing medicinal plants are used primarily for coughing, especially when dry and persistent, when there are difficulties with coughing. The primrose is best for the so-called senile cough. The latter often occurs with a decrease in the contractile force of the heart, as a result of which the blood supply to the lungs deteriorates. This leads to persistent coughing. To help in such cases, it is necessary not only to facilitate coughing, but also to simultaneously affect the blood circulation, for which it is necessary to take care of the increased excretion of water from the body. This is how the spring primrose works: it facilitates coughing and acts as a diuretic. By mixing primrose rhizome with fennel and anise, an excellent cough tea is obtained. If you add mallow leaves, then this tea helps with almost all forms of cold cough.

Mixed tea: Primrose rhizome 30.0 Crushed anise 10.0 Mallow leaves 10.0 Crushed fennel 10.0

Pour two teaspoons of the mixture with 1/4 liter of boiling water and strain after 10 minutes of infusion. Sweeten with honey and drink hot.

Application in traditional medicine. In folk medicine, primrose is also used as a cough suppressant. Tea is taken, but syrup is often prepared: 1 teaspoon with the top of the crushed primrose rhizome is boiled for about 5 minutes in a small amount of water, the liquid is drained and mixed with honey until a syrupy consistency. Take in teaspoons. o Primrose tea: 1 teaspoon of rhizomes or 2 teaspoons of the top of the flowers, heat to a boil in 1/4 l of water. Insist 5 minutes. Drink 2-3 cups of tea a day. In addition to cough relief, traditional medicine recommends spring primrose tea as good remedy for migraines, neuralgia, gout and rheumatism, as well as for insomnia. The German public health service recognizes the expectorant and emollient effect of the primrose in catarrh of the upper respiratory tract.

Side effects. In the absence of an overdose side effects there is no need to be afraid. Avoid the use of primrose should only be those who are allergic to it.

Family Primroses - Primulaceae

The generic name comes from the Latin prima - the first, as the plant blooms in early spring. The species definition is derived from the Latin ver - spring for the same reason.

Botanical description. Perennial herb with an upright or obliquely growing rhizome. The stem is rounded, erect, succulent and represents a flower arrow 15-30 cm high. Only its lower part with short internodes bears a basal rosette of leaves. Leaves are ovate or oblong-ovate with a blunt apex and a slightly crenate edge, narrowed towards the base into a winged petiole, shortly pubescent. Before flowering, when it is still cool, the edges of the leaves are bent inward, and the young leaves at this time are almost rolled into a tube. Flowers (5-13) are bright yellow, drooping to one side at the top of the flower arrow in an umbellate inflorescence similar to a curl. The bell-shaped calyx is inflated, five-incised. The corolla is tubular, with a small bend of five lobes and a long tube. There is an orange speck at the base of the limb of each petal. At the entrance to the corolla tube there are 5 scales. There are five stamens, one pistil with an upper unilocular ovary. Stamens and pistils in different flowers are at different levels. In some, the stigma of the pistil rises above the anthers, since the filaments are short, in others, on the contrary, there are high stamens and a low pistil. This phenomenon is called heterostyly and is the result of the plant's adaptation to cross-pollination.

The fruit is a polyspermous, ovoid capsule surrounded by the remaining calyx, opening at the apex with 10 small teeth. In damp weather, the cloves are bent inward, and the box closes.

Blooms from mid-April to July. The fruits ripen in June - July.

A close species is also used - the large-calyx primrose - Primula macrocalyx Bunge, in which the calyx is expanded.

Geographic distribution. The spring primrose grows in deciduous and mixed forests, in birch forests, in forest glades and along the edge of pine forests, among shrubs.

Occurs in the forest and forest-steppe zones of the European part of the USSR. To the east, in the Volga region, it is replaced by a large-cup primrose, which becomes thinner and disappears beyond the Urals, but appears again in the Tomsk region, in Altai and in the Sayan Mountains. The second species grows in the North Caucasus and Transcaucasia, and both species grow in the foothills of the Crimea.

Collection and drying. Mass harvesting of primrose cannot be carried out, since the plant becomes rare and is included in the Red Book, and its culture has not yet been mastered. Therefore, raw materials are procured in small quantities for local needs. If necessary, the primrose can be introduced into the culture. They are sown with seeds for the winter, and the plantation can be exploited for many years.

To harvest primrose leaves from wild plants, the collector must have a license, without which collection is prohibited.

Leaves are collected at the beginning of flowering plants, plucking them by hand. In this case, half of the leaves on each plant are left so as not to damage flowering and fruiting. Leaves dry quickly in attics, but better in ovens or dryers at a temperature of 90-100 °. In the latter case, they retain more vitamin C (ascorbic acid).

Previously, primrose rhizomes containing saponins were also harvested, but now their collection and use have been discontinued, since there are other saponin-bearing plants that have an expectorant effect.

Medicinal raw materials. The finished raw material - a leaf of a primrose (Folium Primulae) consists of whole and partially broken leaves of the structure described above. The leaves are wrinkled on both sides, wavy along the edge, city-chanted or finely toothed. The petiole is usually 1.5 times as long as the plate, which is from 3.5 to 10 cm.

Has a light honey smell. The taste is first sweet, then bitter, slightly pungent.

GOST 3166-76 allows: moisture no more than 13%; ash no more than 12%; yellowed and brown leaves no more than 2%; crushed parts passing through a sieve with a hole diameter of 1 mm, no more than 3%; flowers no more than 8%; organic and mineral

impurities no more than 0.5%; ascorbic acid not less than 2.3%.

Inexperienced collectors, together with the leaves of the primrose, can also collect the leaf of the initial capita - Betoni-ca officinalis L. This labiate plant during its flowering does not look like a primrose at all. Its stem is tetrahedral, the leaves are opposite opposite, the flowers are two-lipped, light purple. But during the flowering of the primrose, the letter does not bloom yet. The leaves that appeared at this time have, like the primrose, the edge of the leaf wrapped inward and are very similar to it. It is possible to distinguish this organic impurity in the raw material by the following features: the base of the leaf at the drop cap with a heart-shaped notch, the edge is coarse, and the petioles are non-winged.

Chemical composition... Primrose leaf (dry) contains up to 5.9% vitamin C. Raw materials are also valuable because they can be prepared in early spring when there are no other sources of vitamin C yet and when the need for it is especially great. In addition, it contains up to 2% saponins, flavonoids, up to 3 mg% carotene, etc.

The same drink is drunk for chronic constipation, for migraines and as a diuretic. On children, this vapor acts slightly sleeping pills. I noticed that with a migraine from taking such a vapor, the irritating sensitivity to light stops and gradually disappears headache... In the absence of rose hips, I personally used the primrose plant, including it in the mixture in cases where it was required to give the patient vitamin "c".

One of the first spring plants to which everyone treats with love and tenderness. Children pull out a flower from the brush and suck out the sweet juice, adults pluck young leaves on a salad - it tastes little less than a garden salad, and nutritional value far surpasses it. No plant contains as much ascorbic acid in its leaves as primrose.
Herbalists harvest primrose for medicinal purposes. For chronic bronchitis, this is one of the most gentle and sure remedies. Everything is used in the primrose: leaves, flowers, roots. Infusion or decoction of the roots is an effective expectorant. If once imported senega was considered the best in this regard, it turned out that primrose is five times stronger than senega in these qualities. Therefore, it is often used in pneumonia, bronchial asthma.
Infusion of flowers is good for migraines, dizziness, inflammation of the bladder and as a mild laxative. By the way, the infusion of flowers is considered useful for paralysis.
The people from the leaves of the primrose prepare a "love drink". The leaves are quickly dried in the oven, ground into powder and put into a tightly sealed container, best of all in a bottle with a ground lid. On long winter evenings, they drink tea, brewing half a teaspoon of the powder in a glass of boiling water, insist, wrapping it for 20-30 minutes and add 1-2 grains of salt. It is believed that this tea helps to maintain family happiness, unshakable love and peace of mind in the house. The powder is well stored - even after a year, the beneficial substances contained in it do not lose their activity.
I have long noticed that in many folk recipes on the use of primrose, migraine is mentioned. Then I introduced it into my practice and really got good results (when using several other herbs at the same time). However, the primrose itself is able to cope with this disease.
MIGRAINE, LONG-TERM HEADACHES. Loosely fill glass jar fresh flowers of primrose and pour dry grape wine. Insist 3 weeks. After straining, take 50 ml 3 times a day before meals - as an excellent medicine.

Harmless does not mean uncontrollable yet. Try to drink the decoction of the roots not with tablespoons, but with half a glass or all at once - at best, you will feel discomfort, but most likely it will cause nausea and vomiting. This is not poisoning, but an upset stomach is provided to you with all the inherent symptoms. Primrose may cause an allergic reaction. Should not be used in conjunction with anticoagulants. It is contraindicated during pregnancy, as it stimulates the contraction of the uterus.

Storage. Flowers and leaves and roots separately are stored in boxes lined with paper.
