INTRODUCTION: The dry leaves of tusilago can be used, coiled or bites, to make cigarettes and to smoke themselves. It is a good way to begin one cures of nicotine chemical decontamination, because on a par that we left the tobacco, we could benefit from the tonificantes effects of the plant.
The Latin word tussis means cough and agere to drive away. Therefore, we can say that tusílago drives away the cough. Still more, our plant was denominated in Greek becltion (pronúnciese "bequíon"), and as it fought the cough, the Castilian language has inherited this meaning and denominates "béquico" any compound that acts against the cough. As far as fárfara, it comes from the Latin Officers' Club of Revolutionary Armed Forces flour and fero to take, alluding to the leaves, whose inferior face is covered of a dense white vellosidad. Therefore, tusílago exerts its curativa action on the respiratory apparatus.
CHARACTERISTICS: Vivaz is a small plant (it lives several years), of between 10 and 30 cm of height. The stem, subterranean (denominated rizoma), develops fine roots towards the ground, whereas towards the surface are emerging several piston rods covered with grudges that culminate in a floral chapter (a flower like the daisy, with a central rosette surrounded by many petals), without leaves. These form later, directly of rizoma, all from a same point, with a length pecíolo channeled, and the limb (the flat surface of the leaf) in heart form, with the indented edges, green by the superior and white face by the inferior one, this had with one thick layer of vellosidades. This characteristic to appear the flower before the leaves, was worth to him during the age mediates the name of filius before patrem, the son before the father. The flowers are totally yellow, the fruits carry filaments that fácilitan the dispersion by the wind. One also knows with the names fárfara and foot horse.
LOCATION: It lives in the center of Europe, although it arrives until mountains of the south of the continent. It is developed in argillaceous or calcáreos but humid lands, next to the rivers and Lakes, or in the bends of the ways where the rainwater is accumulated, in valleys and at the top of mountains, until the 2,500 ms.
ACTIVE PRINCIPLES: The flowers have an essence, tannins fatty acids, whereas in the leaves, in addition, is glucósido bitter mucílago.
MEDICINAL PROPERTIES: As we said, it is the béquica plant par excellence, although, besides to eliminate the cough, is useful in other alterations of the respiratory apparatus, as bronchitis and asthma also are sudorífico.
HARVESTING: First the flowers are cut, at the end of the winter: they are taken as soon as they begin to open itself and they dry up quickly, in the shade; soon they keep in hermetic bottles.
The leaves are collected later, because when we cut to the flowers rizoma not yet develops it, and it will not happen until the spring. They dry up and the flowers keep comma.
USES And APPLICATIONS: The best antitusígeno: an infusion of 50 grams of leaves or flowers by liter of aguay will take three cups to the day, leaking the liquid and warming up it every time, but without retiring the floral small heads of the container.
