Marsh duckweed for impotence

Herbalists refer to marsh duckweed, or duck grass, to flowering plants from the aroid family. The plant has small green leaves that can be seen on the surface of water bodies. The diameter of duckweed leaves, as a rule, is up to 1.5 cm.

The plant has no stem. Flowers on duckweed rarely grow; when they arise, they form small inflorescences. Duckweed is quite undemanding to growing conditions and quickly multiplies in various shallow water bodies, where there is no strong current. The main condition for the growth of medicinal herbs is the availability of a large amount of fresh water. Duckweed continues to grow even in the winter season, when the surface of the reservoir is covered with an ice crust. In spring, when ice melts, the overgrown areas float to the surface. Since duckweed is a favorite food for waterfowl, it is often referred to as duck grass.

Procurement and storage of medicinal raw materials

A fundamentally important aspect of harvesting a medicinal plant is the correct choice of the place of collection. Duckweed is a widespread herb, but its root is distinguished by its ability to absorb components from the habitat. This means that a plant in a polluted body of water can have a negative impact on human health. To collect the duckweed root, it is necessary to choose clean places, remote from the road route and production complexes. The presence of waterfowl can serve as a guideline for determining the quality of water. The collection of the plant is done by means of a landing net. The resulting raw material is thoroughly washed under running water and laid out for drying in the fresh air under a canopy or in a ventilated room. For fast and uniform evaporation of moisture, it is necessary to spread the roots in a thin layer and move them periodically. The dried parts of the duckweed are finely chopped and placed in glass vessels. The medicinal product should be stored in a dark place with a minimum level of humidity. Subject to the recommended storage conditions, the components of the plant retain healing properties for 12 months.
