In Spring, I Collect Dried Lilac and Make a Tincture That Heals Serious Illnesses!
For arthritis, arthrosis, back pain, bronchitis, and even toothache!
Lilac blooms everywhere in early May, and I want to share how you can use it to relieve various ailments.
For Arthritis, Arthrosis, and Lower Back Pain:
Pour 0.5 liters of boiling water over 3 blooming branches of white lilac, refrigerate for 3 days, strain, and take 1 tablespoon 3 times a day, 30 minutes before meals for 45 days.
After a 3-month break, repeat the course as needed. Since lilac has a short blooming season, it’s best to dry and store it for future use.
For Bronchitis:
Fill a glass jar with lilac flowers and pour vodka over them. Leave the jar in a dark place at room temperature for 10 days.
Each night before bed, mix 30 ml of the tincture with 1 cup of strong tea and drink slowly in small sips.
Treatment duration: 3 days. Store in a tightly sealed jar.
For Corns and Calluses:
Lilac leaves can help. Rub household soap on a fresh green lilac leaf, apply to the affected area, and wrap with a bandage.
Change the compress daily until the issue disappears completely.
For Toothache:
Boil 3–6 fresh or dried lilac leaves in 1 liter of water for a few minutes with a lid on. Let it cool slightly, strain, and rinse your mouth with the decoction for 5–10 minutes.
For Rheumatism, Salt Deposits, and Heel Spurs:
Soak dried lilac flowers in 40% alcohol (1:10 ratio) and let sit for 8–10 days in a sealed container.
Take 30 drops 2–3 times daily and apply compresses to the affected joints using the tincture.
For Radiculitis and Cold Symptoms:
Fill a jar tightly with lilac flowers and pour over 40% vodka. Keep in a warm place for 2 weeks.
For radiculitis, use the tincture undiluted on the affected area.
For colds, take 20–30 drops diluted in half a glass of water, once a day.
For Severe Joint Pain:
One fall, my leg joints were in severe pain, especially during the afternoon. I waited for spring, and when lilacs bloomed, I filled five 3-liter jars with flowers and topped each with high-quality liqueur, leaving them for 21 days.
Then, I took 1 tablespoon 3 times a day, 30 minutes before meals, for a year — without skipping a single day.
As a result, I was pain-free for seven years, and my blood pressure normalized too.
