From the inside...

Considering its rich composition, the fruits of red rowan can and should be used as a multivitamin, general strengthening agent, to improve and accelerate metabolic processes and recovery processes.

In folk and official medicine, rowan juice and a decoction of its fruits are used in various inflammatory processes as an anti-inflammatory, vaso-strengthening, anti-edematous, antibacterial agent that regulates the composition of intestinal microflora.

An important component of rowan berries is pectin, which prevents excessive fermentation of carbohydrates, thereby reducing gas formation in the intestines.

A very valuable component of rowan fruit is parasorbic acid , which along with sorbic acid , refers to specific antibiotics and, as it turns out, limits the active reproduction of some viruses, inhibits the growth of microorganisms, fungi and molds.

Rowan seeds contain amygdalin glycoside (sometimes called vitamin B17), the breakdown of which produces cyanogen-like substances in the body; therefore, a decoction of rowan fruits should be consumed on the day of preparation, and preserved for a year. Otherwise, there is a danger that, once in the product, amygdalin, along with bitterness, will give it toxic properties. True, the presence of amygdalin also has some positive aspects - this glycoside increases the body’s resistance to oxygen starvation, and, according to many adherents of alternative medicine, is a powerful preventive and therapeutic agent against cancer. Science has not yet determined exactly how true this is, but the possibility of amygdoline-containing stone fruits (including rowan) having a toxic effect on the body is beyond doubt, so be careful.

For health purposes, it is customary to prepare infusions and decoctions from rowan berries in the autumn. The technology is not complicated:

* Rowan fruit decoction

1 tbsp. pour 300 ml of water into a spoonful of berries, simmer in a water bath for 30 minutes, then leave for 10 minutes, strain, squeeze. Take a decoction of 100 ml 4 times a day before meals, it is useful for appetite disorders, chronic enterocolitis, hepatitis, obesity, and simply as a good preventative
a vitamin remedy especially in inclement autumn weather.

* Rowan fruit infusion

Pour 2 teaspoons of fruit into 2 cups of boiling water, leave for 1 hour, add sugar to taste. Drink in 3-4 doses during the day. An infusion of rowan fruits is used as a multivitamin for exhaustion and anemia.

You can also make jam from rowan - a tasty and healthy delicacy. It's not at all difficult to do this. Place the washed berries in boiling water for a few minutes, pour boiling syrup over them and leave overnight. In the morning, finish cooking the jam, that is, bring to a boil several times and set aside. When the syrup becomes thick enough, the jam is ready. For a kilogram of berries you need 1.7 kg of sugar, 2 glasses of water.

Adding rowan berries in one capacity or another to the daily diet will undoubtedly enrich the body with the minerals, trace elements, and vitamins it needs so much during the winter, will help maintain and improve the level of health, and improve appearance.

It's time for the first autumn frosts - it's time to collect rowan. This healing berry is full of vitamins, acids and microelements that have a miraculous effect on facial skin. Rowan masks contain a complex of health-improving substances that can eliminate any cosmetic troubles.

Take fresh sorrel, finely chop it and add it to the mountain ash.

Pour in a spoonful of olive oil.
Then comes the same amount of honey.

Mix well until smooth. And we leave the rowan mask to stand for 10-15 minutes so that it releases all its beneficial substances.

Nourishing mask “Autumn”

The “Autumn” mask got its name from one ingredient - chokeberry.

In this recipe we make a homemade mask from rowan and honey. The composition has a rejuvenating and nourishing effect, and thanks to yogurt, it evens out and brightens the skin.

Ingredients:

chokeberry 50 g;
honey 2 tbsp;
yogurt 4 tbsp.

Honey is rich in vitamins, especially group B. It is an excellent moisturizing natural component and also softens the epidermis. This is a well-known biostimulant that fights skin aging processes.

Yogurt protects the face from the harmful effects of the environment, normalizes the functioning of the sebaceous glands, evens out the tone, brightens, and dissolves pore impurities.

An autumn nourishing mask with rowan is prepared as follows:

We collect fresh chokeberry berries. 1-2 pasterns will be enough. We sort out leaves and other natural debris.
Mix well with a fork, the berries should release enough juice.

Add honey. Please note that it must be liquid and not sugared.
Next comes yogurt. Choose classic, without additives and not drinkable. This rowan mask will turn out liquid anyway.

Mix well and apply to skin. Exposure time 20-30 minutes. Can be used not only for the face, but also for the neck and décolleté area.

It is difficult to apply the composition on your face yourself, since its consistency is runny. It’s best if you take a horizontal position and someone applies the composition with a brush. You can do it yourself for your arms and legs. The volume prepared according to this recipe will be enough for two hands or feet.

If the berries bother you, roll and fall, then strain the mixture through a large strainer. The juice released by the berries will be quite enough.
