Ways to obtain herb
The easiest way is to go to the pharmacy and buy. There are packs of 30 and 50 grams. This is how I ensure my supplies. The shelf life is quite long - three years.
However, there is another way - growing grass at home. This is done through seedlings. The method requires a garden. Growing requires quite serious care.
I believe that growing your own herb for consumption would not be worth it for the following reasons:
- Half-fallow grown in the domestic climate loses its medicinal properties. We must remember that the grass is of tropical origin, and appropriate conditions are required for its cultivation.
- If frequent use is necessary for prevention and treatment, a large amount of herb is required. We’re not going to plant the whole garden with half a tree – we also need to plant potatoes somewhere!
This is my personal opinion, with which you may disagree. Many gardeners plant half a tree, use it safely and do not complain.
The grass has fallen to the ground. When to collect and how to store
Any medicinal herb will be useful in treating diseases if it is collected at a time when it contains the most beneficial active substances.
In Erva woolly, all parts of the plant are used for medicinal purposes: leaves, stems, roots and seeds. You can harvest grass from the beginning of flowering until fruiting, i.e. formation of seed pods.
After digging the roots out of the ground, you need to cut off the entire above-ground part of the plant, wash it thoroughly and cut it into small pieces no more than 20 centimeters long.
Dry the pallu floor in the open air, protecting it from direct sunlight. Can be dried in an attic or other ventilated area.
To collect seeds, the entire above-ground part of the plant is cut off, dried and then threshed.
When drying herbs in an electric fruit and vegetable dryer, dry the floor at a temperature no higher than 40-50 degrees.
The herb should be stored in cotton bags or cardboard boxes in a cool room. When properly stored, flooring does not lose its beneficial properties for three years.
Where the floor grows
Pol pala is the botanical name for woolly erva; it grows naturally on the island of Ceylon. Woolly erva is also grown as a medicinal herb in our country.
Many amateur gardeners plant this plant in their garden, and some grow it on the windowsill of an apartment.
In its homeland, half fell is a biennial plant, reaching a height of about 1 m 40 cm with small leaves, no more than two centimeters long and one and a half centimeters wide, and inconspicuous cream or whitish green flowers.

Erva woolly for kidney stones
Before using the medicinal capabilities of the floor, you need to know exactly the composition of kidney stones. The herb only works on urate stones. Other herbal diuretics should not be taken if you are already taking Erva. Also, during the treatment period, you should not eat spicy or salty foods, and you should not take even small doses of alcohol. A lasting result can be achieved not by one course of treatment, but by three. But the break between courses should be six months.
It is recommended to drink herbal preparations on an empty stomach, 20 minutes before meals - this way the medicine will be better absorbed.
How to use:
- In the form of a decoction. Pour 3 teaspoons of dry raw materials into 300 ml of boiling water. The composition needs to be boiled for about 7-9 minutes. After this, the mixture is removed from the heat and kept for 3 hours. The strained composition should be taken three times a day. You cannot drink more than 100 ml at a time. The optimal single dose may be 50-70 ml.
- In the form of an infusion. It's easier to make it in a thermos. Pour 1 tablespoon of dry herbs into its bowl and pour 200 ml of boiling water. The exposure time is the same - 3 hours. The dosage is as follows: divide the entire composition into 2 parts, take 2 times a day.
By the way, the remains of infusions and decoctions can also be used. They are used to make medicinal lotions that help get rid of boils and acne. The above dosage is strictly for adults. Decoctions can be prepared only for 1 day, that is, drink them properly fresh. Each subsequent technique requires new preparation.

Be sure to check the list of contraindications.
Evra decoction

If the medicine is poorly tolerated, nausea, gastrointestinal problems, headache occur, treatment is stopped.
Infusion

After rinsing an enamel container with boiling water, add 1 teaspoon of dry erva into it. Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the raw material. Place the container in a water bath and boil for 10-15 minutes. Be sure to stir the product during preparation.
Leave the composition in a water bath and let it cool in this state. The finished infusion is filtered and the herb is squeezed out. Do not forget to increase the volume of the product to the original - add the required amount of clean boiled water. The dosage and method of application are the same as for the decoction.
Poultices
Finely chopped or minced in a food processor, fresh erva woolly herb is combined with a small amount of water and placed in a water bath until warmed. This is an effective remedy for getting rid of boils - it accelerates their maturation, reduces inflammation and pain.
Tea
Both dry and fresh herbs are suitable for making tea. 2 teaspoons of vegetable raw materials are poured with 1 glass of boiled water, covered with a lid and kept for no longer than 15 minutes. After this, the tea can be strained. How to take woolly erva in the form of tea: warm, optionally with the addition of a small amount of honey. A small cup a day will be enough.
