The astrancia belongs to the family of the umbelíferas, who understands a great number of species, all of them easily distinguibles to have a characteristic inflorescencia in form of inverted umbrella. Formerly, to this group of plants it was called them aparasoladas. Vivaz is a grass, with leaves that maintain thanks to long tips. Rizoma black and ligneous gives origin to a stem raised, little graft, finished off by umbelas of white flowers. It grows up in the meadows of all practically the Pyrenean one, liking much the water and the humid prairies. It grows of spontaneous way by all Europe.
The plant blooms in June, maturing its fruits in summer and principles of the autumn. For his therapeutic use they take shelter rizomas mainly, although also the foliados stems are interesting. Rizoma is collected at the end of the summer, it is cleaned thoroughly and the green parts and the radical hairs take off; later it is let dry in the shade. The stems are due to gather by hand, in the heat of time of flowering and with sunny time.
The composition of the greater astrancia is not known completely. It is known that it dismisses an aromatic scent, reason why possibly has an essential oil. The rest little is studied, although the plant is known from the antiquity. To rizoma laxative and laxative properties are attributed to him, depending on the used dose. Our ancestors based all their science on the experimentation like only way to discover new remedies. In the case of this plant laxative effects possibly were in her, reason why it was including quickly between the medicinal plants of the time; but later, either he verified themselves that their effects were not so good, or was replaced by another one of the many plants that the nature offers us similar effects. In any case, nowadays this plant is in disuse and it practically does not include itself in any compendium of medicinal plants. In addition, medical science every time more is convinced of its task of concienciar to people so that they replace the use of laxative laxatives and in favor of an increase in the fiber consumption, like only way to fight the constipation that so many evils carries nowadays. In effect, the diet of end of century is very poor in foods with fiber, which also repels nonsingle in the increase of the constipation but of other diseases associated, like the obesity, the null and voidable colon, diverticulosis and even the colon cancer. Laxative the so single one is indicated in certain pathological situations and always under medical supervision. The abuse of those takes to accustom badly to the intestine, that that lets work by itself of natural way.

Possibly, the best way to consume this plant is in form of infusion from rizoma, or in dust form. In any case, it is not a grass free of indirect effect, reason why its use is not recommended at least until more is not known in depth.
