Description of herb

Garden nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) - an annual herb, 15 to 40 cm high, with a recumbent, creeping, branched stem reaching a length of up to 5 m comes from areas in Ecuador, Colombia and Peru.

It blooms from June to October and the fruit is a three-capsule capsule with seeds.

The undeniable advantage of this plant is that both the leaf and the flower and the fruit (seed) are edible in the fresh state. The seeds can be eaten fresh from the plant in the fresh state, if it seems too hot, we can add them to salads or sliced, for example, in spreads, or on bread and butter. The seeds can also be pickled in vinegar and used instead of capers.

If this ornamental plant inhabits your garden, do not hesitate to taste it - for bread and butter, it is a refreshing medicinal delicacy. If you don't have it in the garden, definitely include it in your menu anyway.

Healing effects

Garden nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) is a potent natural antibiotic against all 46 strains of Staphylococcus pyogenes aureus, which are common causes of inflammatory diseases of the urinary tract and kidneys. Some healers and physicians have noted the success of the use of Lichořeřišnica in the fight against hard-to-cure golden staphylococcus, which often resists other strong antibiotics and endangers the health of those infected for many years. However, this herb not only destroys staphylococci, but also acts against salmonella or streptococci, for example. Its use can in many cases save us synthetic antibiotics, or significantly support and shorten the treatment of the disease.

It is suitable for use in the above-mentioned inflammation of the urinary tract, kidneys and airway inflammation. By using it early, we can eliminate or reduce the infectious infection at the very beginning. It also acts as a prevention and is great for treating past inflammations with the threat of recurrence.
