It is not difficult to distinguish it from other species, its leaves and stems are covered with a silvery felt coating, and small bright yellow or orange flowers make up a rather dense basket of spherical inflorescences. Each such basket contains an average of 30 - 50 small flowers.
The immortelle sandy grows, as the name implies, on dry sandy soils open to the sun. It grows everywhere in central Russia and in the southern regions, in Ukraine, in Belarus, in the Baltic states. For medicinal purposes, only immortelle inflorescences are used, which are cut almost without a stem at the beginning of flowering, when the baskets are just beginning to open. Let's look at the photos of what the sandy immortelle grass looks like.

Corn silk. Medicinal properties. Contraindications. Application
Immortelle is a type of aster, which the ancient Greeks called the "golden flower". It grows on sandy soils, for which it received its second name - sandy. The main name is a tribute to the resistance of culture to external conditions. The flowers retain their golden outer scales even when cut long ago. Because of this, it seems that they never wither. The medicinal properties and contraindications of immortelle herb are well studied.
Features of immortelle sandy
Sandy immortelle. Botanical illustration from O. V. Tome's book "Flora von Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz", 1885.
Perennial grass grows on poor soils. To retain moisture in the stem, it uses numerous needle villi scattered throughout all organs of the plant. Therefore, when examining it, it seems that it is covered with soft whitish felt. It reaches a height of forty centimeters, the leaves are scattered throughout the stem. In the basal part they are large, obovate, in the upper part of the stem they are linear, elongated.
From the first days of summer, the plant blooms. His flowers are saturated yellow color, bright lemon, it is extremely difficult to confuse them with other plants. They look like compact round-shaped baskets in which golden scallops are enclosed. Flowering continues until the very end of summer, after which seeds form in the baskets. They have "flyers" of microscopic hairs, due to which they are easily transported through the air and quickly spread to neighboring territories.
Growing region
Sandy immortelle grows on appropriate soils in a wide geographical area. It is found from south to middle lane Russia, in the Caucasus. Sometimes immortelle populations are found even in Western Siberia, which indicates its extreme unpretentiousness.
Favorite places for the distribution of immortelle flower are dry forests, forests, young pine forests. He gladly settles in open meadows and burnt areas, until they have settled in other cultures. You can meet him in the foothills, and in the steppes, on stony soils.
Helichrysum plant growth rate depends on access sunlight. In young pine forests, it receives a sufficient amount of light, so it actively spreads and blooms profusely. As pine plantations grow and their crowns close, immortelle plantations wither away. In forests that are more than fifteen years old, culture is not found.
Collection and preparation
Medicinal raw materials are immortelle sandy flowers. They are harvested before the blooming period, since valuable raw materials crumble during drying, leaving only empty baskets.
Flowers are plucked one at a time with a small piece of the stem. When harvesting, it is important to hold the stem so as not to uproot the plant, or use scissors, pruners. During the season, one array can provide the opportunity to collect raw materials up to four times, since the plants do not bloom at the same time. But with active harvesting without preserving live flowers for propagation, plantings die. To prevent this, selective collection of flowers allows.
In an area of twenty square meters it is enough to leave up to ten intact flower baskets for the population to fully recover within two years. In view of this, harvesting in the same areas is carried out not annually, but once every two years. If immortelle massifs are found in pine forests with an abundant, almost closing crown, flowers can be collected without exception, since in the near future the planting will die without access to sunlight.
After harvesting, the raw materials are dried using attic space for this. The temperature in them should be forty-fifty degrees. Baskets are scattered in a thin layer on paper, newspapers. Periodically during drying they are stirred. IN ready-made Medicinal raw materials have a pleasant pronounced smell, bitter taste.
Immortelle, according to herbalists, is easy to confuse with another plant - a dioecious cat's foot. Outwardly, the cultures are remotely similar, but the cat's paw has no useful properties. In fact, it's very easy to tell them apart. The bright yellow immortelle flowers contrast sharply with the white and pink paw buds.
Composition and properties
In the chemical composition of the plant, substances flavonoids are isolated, which determine the properties of immortelle. They are represented by glycosides and aglycones, including salipurposide, naringenin, kaempferol. Steroid compounds, essential oils and phenols have also been found. The healing properties of immortelle are determined by the resins and bitterness contained in it.
The actions of medicinal raw materials include antibacterial activity, effectiveness against the inhibition of colonies of staphylococci and streptococci. The use of immortelle has an antispasmodic effect on the smooth muscles of the digestive system. Bitterness stimulates the dilution of bile, facilitating its passage through the ducts. In patients with liver disease, biliary tract, the severity of pain reactions, feelings of heaviness "in the pit of the stomach" decrease.
Pharmaceutical forms of the drug are produced from natural raw materials. "Flamin" - a remedy for chronic inflammatory processes in the liver and biliary system, in the form of a powder containing plant flavonoids. In granules, a dry extract of the herb is produced, in the form of tea - a collection of flowers, which is supplemented with mint leaves and coriander fruits.
The use of immortelle
Questions of benefits, effectiveness of the use of medicinal raw materials, how to drink immortelle, are resolved by approved scientific methods. The composition of the culture was studied by the staff of the Institute medicinal plants THE USSR. Experiments on the basis of the scientific laboratory of the research institute showed that the infusion enhances the production of bile, pancreatic juice. At the same time, there is an increase in the tone of the gallbladder. There is a qualitative change in the composition of bile, in which cholesterol-cholate elements begin to predominate.
According to researchers Ya.I. Khadzhay and V.A. Vartazaryan, the traceable effect when using immortelle is associated with the presence of a complex of flavonoids in it. They activate the formation of bile, which, in turn, increases the level of bilirubin. At the same time, there is a slowdown in intestinal motility.
The use of immortelle herb is relatively safe. The plant has a low toxicity threshold, but its long-term use in therapeutic purposes Not recommended. Researches of scientists G.V. Tutaeva and Z.A. Makarov showed that with long-term treatment, the drug causes congestion in the liver.
