Leuzea is a good honey plant. From 1 hectare of plant you can get 100 kg of honey. Honey from maral root is valued not only for its taste, but also for its medicinal properties. This is a rare and expensive variety, since the plant is an endemic (restricted) species. The hue of honey is most often yellowish-green. The taste is delicate and very sweet. This type of honey is useful to take for loss of strength, weakened immunity, neuroses, apathy, vegetative-vascular dystonia, disorders of the female reproductive system, and male sexual impotence.

Do not forget about contraindications and it is advisable to consult with relevant specialists before you start taking such Leuzea-based remedies.

Features of using Leuzea tincture

It is not recommended to drink the extract before bed. If it is not possible to do this in the first half of the day, then you should not take the product 3-4 hours before going to bed. The extract is an adaptogen, i.e. it does not cure the disease, but only strengthens the body and mobilizes its internal hidden reserves, which help cope with the disease. For this reason, this remedy cannot be used as the main method of therapy against a certain pathology. Like all adaptogens, Leuzea has different effects depending on the dosage:

• at low – inhibitory to the central nervous system;
• with moderate – tonic;
• at high – activating and exciting.

For this reason, it is not recommended to deviate from the prescribed dosage. Before starting to use Leuzea, you should consult your doctor. This plant is sold in pharmacies in several forms:

• vegetable raw materials 0.5-1 kg in bags;
• 200 mg tablets, 50 pieces in glass bottles;
• tablets 205 mg, 100 pieces in plastic jars;
• liquid extract in bottles of 25, 30, 40 or 50 ml.

Leuzea is a good honey plant - almost 100 kg of honey is produced from 1 hectare. It is valuable not only for its unusual taste, but also for its incredible healing properties. The variety is rare and expensive, but popular. Honey has a yellowish-green hue and a delicate sweet taste. It is recommended to take it:

• with loss of strength;
• in case of neuroses;
• with apathy;
• for the treatment of vegetative-vascular dystonia;
• for disorders of the female reproductive system;
• to restore sexual function;
• with weak immunity;
• for the prevention of asthenic syndrome, influenza and ARVI in children.

During pregnancy and lactation

Leuzea in the form of an extract can cause increased tone of the smooth muscles of the uterus. The result of this process can be premature birth. For this reason, Leuzea extract is prohibited for use during pregnancy. It is not recommended to use it during lactation. The components of Leuzea are able to penetrate into breast milk, and then into the child’s body. While using its extract, you will have to stop feeding.

In childhood

The use of the extract is contraindicated in children under 12 years of age. Patients in this category are prohibited from taking Levzeya in any form. Children who have reached the age limit can be given the minimum doses of the extract that were established by the attending physician. In other cases, taking Leuzea is an absolute contraindication due to possible harm to health.

Collection and storage of Leuzea

To prepare medicines, rhizomes and roots of Leuzea are used, which are harvested from mid-August until the onset of winter (that is, after the seeds have fully ripened).

Only the oldest and largest roots are subject to harvesting, which are dug up in the third or fourth year after sowing (it is during this period that the underground part of the plant reaches its greatest mass, but still has no dead or rotten roots).

The dug out roots and rhizomes of Leuzea are thoroughly cleaned of soil (the stems of the plant must be removed). The raw materials are washed well under running water and dried a little in the sun, no longer than six days, after which large specimens are cut into several parts and dried together with small roots in the open air, or in a warm, but always dry room.

You can also dry the plant in a dryer, spreading the raw materials in a layer of no more than 8 cm, and setting the temperature to about 50 - 60 degrees.

Properly dried roots and rhizomes of Leuzea have a brown-brown (even black) color on the outside, and pale yellow directly at the break. In addition, the raw material has a pleasant smell and a sweetish-resinous taste.

The shelf life of harvested raw materials is three years, provided they are stored in paper or plastic sealed bags.

Important! Leuzea thickets are restored extremely slowly (it takes 15–20 years). For this reason, during the harvesting process, you should leave at least two (or preferably four) plants for every ten meters of thickets, which will ensure the restoration of the already small population

Dosage forms

In most situations, the root of the plant is taken as a healing substance; its harvesting is carried out in early autumn (September-October). The maximum effectiveness of the medicinal plant is achieved by three to four years. In this case, it is necessary that the size of the measles system be large enough.

The process of preparing raw materials goes through several stages and looks like this:

1. Digging and clearing the soil.
2. Drying in the sun for seven days: if the roots are too large, they should be cut into several parts.

To a large extent, drying is carried out outside or in a room where it is warm and not humid. It is possible to carry out this stage in a dryer or oven, where the raw materials must be spread out (the layer must be no thicker than eight centimeters), the temperature should be 50-60°C.

A plant that has undergone the drying procedure retains its beneficial qualities for two years.

Leuzea instructions for use

Reviews from professionals about Leuzea safflower

Reviews from professionals leave no doubt about the effectiveness of drugs based on Leuzea.

Rob Regish, bodybuilding trainer, founder and owner of a company producing dietary supplements for athletes:

“This powerful Rhaponticum Carthamoides extract has demonstrated a fantastic range of anabolic, anti-catabolic, antioxidant and immune-stimulating effects in numerous studies. In particular, it significantly increases protein synthesis and increases the number of red blood cells. Leuzea extract does this without activating androgen receptors, as occurs with anabolic/androgenic steroids. It actually bypasses DNA transcription (messaging between cell nuclei) and goes straight to the ribosome to speed up muscle protein synthesis.”

Heinz Werner Bongard - bodybuilding veteran from Germany:

“It is a scientific fact that Rhaponticum Carthamoides does not bind to androgen receptors. This is great news because by working through an alternative mechanism, we avoid the unwanted side effects of steroids while reaping many of the positive benefits. No hormonal imbalance, no acne, no bloating and no stress on internal organs. The active complex of Rhaponticum Carthamoides is called “levseins” in Soviet studies. This Levsein complex contains a unique and precise ratio of 10 specific ecdysterones, including large amounts of turkesterone, 20-hydroxyecdysterone, cyasterone, etc.”

If the blood becomes more viscous, the tincture will help reduce the blood clotting rate. The tincture also helps improve memory, attention and concentration.
