A silent killer. Is it worth keeping a money tree at home?

Kalanchoe is not only a very beautiful, but also an extremely useful plant.
The flower has more than 200 species, in which the medicinal effect is expressed to varying degrees: some varieties are valued for their decorativeness and abundant flowering, while other types are not so attractive in appearance, but have unique abilities in the treatment of various diseases. The plant itself belongs to the Tolstyankov family and means “fat”. The leaf plates of the flower have a thickened structure, they are elastic, juicy and filled with liquid, that is, medicinal juice. Due to this, the flower is also called the Tree of Life. Regardless of what variety of Kalanchoe the flower represents, the basic principles of growing and caring for the plant are almost the same for them.

Magical properties of the flower

It is believed that Crassula, as the Crassula is also called, is capable of opening money channels. To do this, the plant needs good care so that its leaves are large and thick. Then, in gratitude, the money tree will bring prosperity to its owners, improve financial flows, and harmonize the surrounding space.

If a person does not bother with care, the leaves of the succulent become smaller and the tree withers. Then the owner will face ruin and other troubles.

Why is the Crassula called the money tree?

In the east, a houseplant is considered a symbol of financial stability. It was named the money tree for its characteristic leaf shape, reminiscent of coins. The tree is a succulent. It is capable of accumulating moisture. Therefore, it can survive a long drought without consequences.

The plant propagates easily. A small shoot or leaf easily takes root even in unfavorable conditions. This ability is also a symbol of enrichment. From a small capital with little effort a solid fortune grows.

Diseases and pests

Crassula, like other indoor plants, is susceptible to attack by parasites. Spider mites, scale insects and mealybugs are especially dangerous.

If Crassula is infected by a spider mite, a barely noticeable web forms on its leaves and stem. In such a situation, a soap solution or medications Fufanon, Fitoverm will help.
When attacked by scale insects, yellow and brown spots appear on the leaves. Crassula must be treated in the same way as for spider mite infestation.
If the plant is affected by mealybugs, then it is necessary to carry out treatment procedures with a solution of laundry soap, and if this does not help, then you need to use insecticides. You can also try to get rid of the scale insect using a piece of cotton wool soaked in alcohol.

When should you not keep a money tree at home?

Crassula not only has a beautiful leaf shape, but it is also believed to be able to bring wealth and prosperity to the home. She is easy to care for, which also increases her attractiveness.

However, in some cases, the fat woman cannot be kept at home.

There are two reasons why you should not keep the fat plant indoors:

Biological
Noticeable.

In the case of the biological aspect, the problem is the presence of arsenic in the leaves.

Arsenic is a chemical element on the periodic table. In small doses it is used to treat diseases associated with anemia. But in large doses it is a powerful poison, causing weakness, baldness, increased heart rate, and, if immediate first aid is not provided, death.

This plant is dangerous only when transplanted. You need to be careful not to get poisonous juice on your skin. If there are scratches or fresh wounds, the juice is nourished, and the juice, as written above, contains arsenic.

Particularly sensitive people and allergy sufferers may experience discomfort for a long time - headache, nausea, irritation. The condition recovers over a long period of time.

You can place the flower in a place inaccessible to children and animals, in which case it will not cause harm.

According to Feng Shui, if a plant grows too luxuriantly, then there will be negative energy in the house - the residents will become passive, apathetic, and pessimistic.
If the plant blooms, and this happens very rarely, the family may fall apart due to the man leaving.
Also, according to the sign, improper care and life will turn into a nightmare.
If the plant suddenly dies, then poverty will come to the family. There won't be enough money even for food.

So, the fat plant should not be kept in a house with small children or pets that might chew the leaves. Or you should put the money tree in an inaccessible place.

The second reason is noticeable. It is due to the fact that the death of a fat woman in the house is a warning about a future financial crisis in the family.

ON A NOTE. In addition, it is believed that the fat woman carries the feminine energy “Yin”. An excess of this energy can lead to worsening mood and laziness among residents. This problem is solved by planting a male plant (for example, anthurium) indoors.

Flower - “tree of happiness”

Dracaena is called the tree of happiness. According to Aztec legend, she helped a young soldier marry the daughter of the High Priest. The girl's father gave the groom five days to grow leaves on a stick, which he stuck in the ground. The soldier watered the stick, which turned out to be a dracaena tree, and after five days, leaves appeared on it. The situation was happily resolved and the lovers were able to get married.

Features of caring for the “tree of happiness” flower at home

The climate in our homes is different from the climate in South America, so the tree of happiness requires some care. Especially if we want it to bloom. Dracaena loves high humidity. There are some varieties, like Dracaena derema, for which this condition is mandatory; the leaves need to be moistened twice a day with a spray bottle, and the leaves must be regularly wiped with a damp cloth. Less demanding in this regard are dracaena and godsefa.

— The soil should always be moist. If it starts to dry out, the roots no longer have enough water.

—The tree of happiness is also demanding on the composition of the water; it is better to take purified or settled water, otherwise spots will appear on the leaves.

— If we consider the peculiarities of caring for and feeding the Tree of Happiness at home, then the variegated varieties need special feeding, while the rest are sufficient with ordinary complex fertilizers for indoor flowers.

— Fertilizers are applied during the period of active growth, from spring to autumn. This should be done once or twice a month.

Signs and superstitions associated with the Crassula

The first reason why a money tree is planted at home is the desire to improve one’s own material well-being.

It is believed that having a Crassula at home brings wealth. In addition, it symbolizes financial stability.

At the same time, a wasting or dead fat woman is a warning about future failures in the financial field. Because of this, a flower cannot be planted if the gardener is not sure that he can provide it with proper care.

It is also recommended to keep the fat woman away from scandals in the family - it is believed that due to an unfavorable atmosphere, the negative effects of the money tree intensify, and the positive ones, on the contrary, weaken.

Signs for good luck:

If other plants need enough watering and fertilizing, caring for the fat plant is a little different. The plant is a succulent and will tolerate a lack of moisture, but without communication it will dry out and wither. Choose an energetically active day of the week, that is, Wednesday, to tell the tree about upcoming financial plans and ask for support in business;
They don’t just wipe the leaves, but also count them during the procedure. The saying here is that money likes counting;
To attract money, Crassula is planted in a red pot. If the container is ordinary, then it is tied with a scarlet ribbon or painted with red lines, symbolizing cash flow;
Do not place a money tree near electrical appliances that interfere with the free circulation of financial energy;
A dusty plant will not bring prosperity, so they try to periodically remove dirt from the leaves;
The flowerpot is placed on a windowsill facing south or southeast. Thick leaves are susceptible to burns, so Crassula is shaded from the sun's rays;
After receiving financial profit, they select several coins, which are placed in a heap near a flowerpot with a fat plant. Coins are considered a powerful money magnet and enhance the influence of the plant.

Types of Kalanchoe that are grown at home

The following plant varieties can most often be found on window sills:

Kalanchoe Degremona (Living Tree). Decorative foliage type of flower. It has a straight stem on which triangular elongated leaves with a serrated edge are located. A characteristic feature of the variety is the formation of daughter leaves with roots between the denticles of the leaf blade. The plant reproduces with them.
Kalanchoe Blossfeld. A low, compact shrub with rounded leaves. Blooms profusely, inflorescences can be simple or double, painted in various colors.

What to do to make the fat woman attract money and wealth

In order for a flower to have a positive effect on its owners, it is necessary to keep it in a healthy condition and care for it in a timely manner.

In order for a money tree to truly bring wealth, a number of rules must be followed.

Firstly, planting must be done through cuttings or sprouts. An already mature tree will not work. You can also use seeds, but growing crassula from seeds is a long and labor-intensive process.

IMPORTANT! Before you start planting, the cuttings should be rooted. To do this, place it in a jar of water and wait until roots begin to form. To speed up the process, root formation stimulants, for example, Kornevin, are added to the vessel.

Secondly, planting should be done during the waxing moon phase.

Thirdly, in order for the money tree to remain healthy, you need to plant the cuttings in several stages:

At the bottom you need to put several coins, preferably the largest denomination;
Drainage is placed in the pot, soil is filled to 2/3 of the volume of the container;
The seedling is placed and compacted;
The remaining amount of earth is added;
Watering is done only when the soil is dry and there are drainage holes. Under no circumstances should you overfill the fat woman.

Separately, it is necessary to say about the conditions under which the money tree will actually bring wealth.

Lighting should be natural, as the fat plant responds well to sunny color. It is also recommended to periodically turn the flower pot in different parts towards the sun so that the crown develops evenly.

IMPORTANT! Direct sunlight has a negative effect on some types of Crassula (the leaves lose their usual color and become darker). To avoid this, you need to install curtains or blinds on the window next to which the pot is placed.

The temperature should not exceed 28 degrees, so in the summer the fat plant can be taken out to the balcony.

It is recommended to transplant the money tree into a new pot once a year, then, as it grows older, the interval between transplants can be increased.

When replanting, all defects in the root system will be removed. If none were found, the money tree can be transplanted directly from the ground. If defects are still found, then such roots are cut off and the cut areas are sprinkled with activated carbon. In order for the cuts to heal faster, the tree is exposed to fresh air for several hours.

Crown formation

In order for the fat plant to have a beautiful and decorative appearance, it is necessary to shape its crown. To do this, you need to trim heavily overgrown tree branches. The cut must be made so that four leaves remain on the branch.

It is also recommended to carry out pinching, first of all this concerns the top of the crassula. In order for the fat plant to have a beautiful and uniform crown, you need to turn it in different directions towards the light.

Why do you dream about a fat woman?

Dreams about succulents are considered a good omen. They foretell profit, receiving gifts, useful acquaintances. Details of the prediction can be found in the details of the dream.

Dream details	Decoding the prediction
A strong, well-groomed plant in a beautiful container	A streak of luck begins
In a red pot	For a romantic acquaintance
The container is covered with cracks	You need to pay more attention to business, otherwise ruin is possible
The pot broke	To ruin, losses, financial difficulties
I dreamed of something drying up	Possible quarrel with relatives
The tree dies completely	To illness
Flowering plant	To popularity and prosperity
I dreamed that the fat woman was stolen	Relatives need financial assistance
Replant a tree	Favorable changes, but if the plant is taken out of the house, it means loss of control over affairs

Signs about the Crassula

The money tree is a houseplant associated with a lot of signs and superstitions. They can be divided into several parts, each of which is associated with a certain stage of its development.

Why does it bloom

Crassula flowering is a rare occurrence. You need to try very hard, show miracles of care in order to see the cherished flowers.

The signs associated with the appearance of flowers on the money tree are the most impressive:

During this period comes the best moment for enrichment. You can safely take on matters related to finances - everything will be as successful as possible.
During flowering, according to signs, wishes come true. It is better to make wishes that are connected in one way or another with an increase in material wealth. The probability of execution is very high.

The branches have dropped

If a previously healthy pet suddenly dropped its branches and the leaves began to fall off, you should seriously think about the energy in the house. Crassula usually cleanses the energy in the room and absorbs all negativity.

If it droops, it means that the negative energy in the room is so strong that the flower can no longer cope with it. You need to move the tree to another room and try to reduce the number of conflicts and scandals between household members.

It crumbled

Fallen leaves are a bad omen, which serves as a sign of imminent material losses, a decrease in income, and profit. Some even count fallen leaves: their number corresponds to the percentage drop in family income.

Why does Crassula fall?

There are a number of signs regarding the fall of the money tree:

The plant did not fall, but tilted its trunk, as if preparing to fall - the sign tells you to prepare for financial difficulties.
Fell along with the pot - financial wealth will only increase.
If it fell and the pot broke, the family will envy the material wealth.
Fell and broke when falling - to financial ruin.

What to do if one branch breaks

A home flower may not break completely: there are often cases when it loses one or two branches. There is nothing wrong with this, and the signs do not imply any negative signs in this regard.

In principle, it is useful to prune a money tree from time to time so that a beautiful, even crown is formed. This will help the tree get rid of the burden of unnecessary branches.

There are unusual plants that live 150 years and only at the end of their lives produce amazingly beautiful flowers. How can representatives of the earth's flora surprise?

THE RAREST FLOWERS

Edelweiss - the flower of fidelity and love

Its name alone sounds like music. The most touching and tender, about which there are many legends. The Italians call it the silver flower of rocks. The French are an Alpine star.

Edelweiss is an amazing rare flower growing in the mountains

The flower loves the sun, but grows high in the mountains near the snowy edge. Not everyone can see it. Legend says that only a person with love as pure as dew in his heart can find this mysterious flower. It is not enough to be dexterous and strong to climb to the top of the mountain. You must love sincerely and selflessly, be devoted to your beloved.

There were so many people who wanted to get the flower that already in the 19th century it was almost impossible to see it. There were a couple dozen specimens left that were on the verge of extinction.

Due to the fact that edelweiss is rare, it is forbidden to pick them

In Switzerland, where this flower grew, a special law was passed that prohibited the collection of this plant. Violators faced a hefty fine. There are special posts near the mountain borders that do not allow tourists to the habitats of this flower.

Chinese mouse flower - the most creepy and disgusting flower

Indeed, how could Mother Nature create such a thing! Even from a close distance, when its petals are closed, it resembles a bat that has perched on a branch for the night. To make it even more creepy, it has long, ornate tentacles 30-40cm long that resemble black snakes. The first impression of those who saw it was horror.

Chinese mouse flower is a rare flower of dubious beauty

It is grown only by extreme flower growers, since not only its appearance, but also touching it causes a feeling of disgust in most people.

Middlemist red - the rarest flower in the world

There are only 2 copies in the entire globe. British gardener John Middlemist, traveling in China in 1854, was fascinated by a scarlet rose, which he discovered quite by accident. He dug up the flower and brought it to Britain to plant in a greenhouse in the United Kingdom. He could not even imagine that thanks to this he saved the last specimen of the flower in the world. This scarlet rose was named after him.

Middlemist red is considered the rarest flower in the world

Our world is unusually rich in various species of plants, incredibly beautiful flowers and mighty century-old trees, which are protected throughout the world. It is up to the individual to ensure that the Red Book contains as few pages as possible.

Rare tree species

The Methuselah pine is the oldest tree in the world. Its age exceeds 4850 years. And she received her name in honor of the biblical character who was the only long-liver in the whole world.

The rare Methuselah pine is considered the oldest tree in the world

This majestic tree grows in the USA, in the White Mountains at an altitude of 3000 meters. Its exact location is known only to botanists who monitor the pine tree. Such secrecy is connected with protecting the guard from vandalism. After all, there are thousands of tourists who want to take a photo with it or tear off a piece of bark as a souvenir. Many go to the mountains to find this mysterious tree, but all their attempts end in failure. The Methuselah pine is not a tree, it is a symbol of eternity, which looks like it is dead, but life lurks in each of its branches.

The Tree of Life is the loneliest tree in the world

Probably, like life itself, reminiscent of loneliness among a crowd of people. It is the only one on the sands of the endless desert of Bahrain, a hundred kilometers from any vegetation.

Tree of life in the Kenyan desert

It is 400 years old, but the most important thing is not its age or the fact that it is a rare specimen of trees. Scientists are wondering how it is possible to live for so many years in a desert in which there is absolutely no water in the ground, while still “radiating” vital energy.

If you “transport” from distant corners of the world to our region, with the greenery of meadows and the noise of birch groves, you can discover amazing and rare plants that are on the verge of extinction.

Interesting plants from the Russian Red Book

Japanese beard is a beautiful and graceful plant with a large pinkish flower, which is popularly called the Spirit of the Meadows. It got its name because of the petals, which curve at the bottom of the flower, reminiscent of a gnome's beard.

The bearded plant is a miniature orchid. Just as gentle, graceful and beautiful. The flower can grow alone, modestly “peeping out” from the green arrows of meadow grasses. But most often the plant forms scatterings of flowers, where there can be up to 60 of them on 1 square meter. The plant is listed in the Red Book and is protected by law.

The Japanese beard is on the verge of extinction in Russia

Rhododendron Faurie is a plant with large pink flowers. One brush can grow up to 15 delicate flowers with slightly curled petals. It is called the flower of the gods. His beauty is compared to the Greek goddesses - graceful, slender, gentle. You can admire its beauty endlessly, but only the lucky one can see it.

Legend has it that this flower was given to a man by the Gods who wanted to win the heart of his beloved. The flower was as beautiful as the girl for whom it was intended. When her betrothed took her to distant lands, rhododendrons bloomed in the fields so that people would remember not only her beauty, but also believe that unearthly love exists in the world.

Is it possible to give, give away, sell or throw away a money tree?

The decision to throw away the money tree without harming the financial situation of the family should be made only when the fat plant has become too old and has stopped blooming.

At the same time, you should not throw the flower in the trash; to maintain the balance of energy, it is better to bury the dying tree in the ground and give it to another person. If the trash bin is the only way out, then it is first recommended to cut off the young stem and plant a new money tree.

One of the common questions is whether it is possible to give Crassula as a gift or throw it away, and whether financial well-being will leave the house with it. There are a number of signs on this matter.

There is one case when giving a money tree is not only possible, but also necessary. This would be an ideal wedding gift for newlyweds. You can attach large bills to the plant and decorate it with a red ribbon. A sign with such a gift design promises the spouses a comfortable existence.

But giving or giving someone your own fatty is a bad omen. The financial situation will change for the worse not only for the giver, but also for the one who accepts such a gift.

A bad omen can be neutralized if you pay a symbolic amount for a gift. Then the gift turns into a purchase.

As for whether it is possible to throw away a money tree, the sign clearly says: this should not be done. Such an act will bring financial problems to the family. If the flower is no longer needed, you can simply put it in the entrance.

When you are about to throw out an old plant, you can pinch off a sprout from it and plant it again. In this case, even though the Crassula went to the landfill, its shoot remains in the house, having absorbed the energy of the large plant.

The world tree as a symbol of life

Plants have one unusual property: they appear, develop, wither - and after a while they are reborn again. Trees, bushes and flowers are regenerated, preventing their own kind from dying out and disappearing. Our ancestors watched this action for a long time until they finally realized: the life of any plant is the universal formula of the universe. Thus, representatives of the flora turned into one of the most well-known and ancient symbols.

The concept of the “Tree of Life,” which in some sources is called the World Tree, is present in all cultures. It is usually depicted the same way:

a big tree;
the crown rests on the sky;
the roots go into the ground.

It is quite obvious that in this case the crown of the Tree of Life symbolizes paradise, heaven, the afterlife - that is, something that we do not know for sure, but only guess. The roots of the tree are a symbol of the underworld, that is, hell, if you follow religious teachings. We also don’t know about this for sure, but in our culture this concept has been present since ancient times and is one of the fundamental ones. What does the trunk symbolize? But the trunk of the Tree of Life is precisely the earthly world in which you and I live. That which connects the underground and the heavenly. That which is the connecting link between these two worlds.

In different peoples and in different cultures, the Tree of Life is interpreted differently, despite the fact that this symbol often means the same thing.

Yggdrasil is a gigantic ash tree that symbolizes the Universe in German-Scandinavian mythology.
Irminsul is actually the same as Yggdrasil, but from the ancient Saxons. Irminsul, according to their ideas, was a pillar similar to a huge tree. This architectural pillar was dedicated to the god Irmin. The ancient Saxons believed that he embodied the entire universe.
The ancient Egyptians associated acacia In the city of Iunu, the oldest acacia tree on the planet grew, and the inhabitants of Ancient Egypt believed that it was under this tree that all the gods they revered and worshiped were born.
Baiterek is a mythical giant tree from Turkic culture. The Turks believed that there was a World River that connected two banks - two different Worlds. And it is on its banks that Baiterek, the tree of life, grows.
Etz Chaim is the Jewish version of the Tree of Life.
The three-year-old tree is an image of the World Tree in Russian culture.

And mind you, the ideas about the Tree of Life for each individual people are embodied in different trees. Scientists attribute this to different flora. The Scandinavians, for example, considered their main tree to be yew or ash. According to scientists, it is quite obvious that the Turkic Baiterek was a poplar. But the Egyptian Yusat is an acacia. If we talk about the Tree of Life, which was planted by God in Eden, then most likely it was a pomegranate. But from ancient times the Slavs revered the oak - powerful, immense and majestic. Therefore, it is obvious that their ideas about the Tree of Life were embodied in this plant.

Among most peoples, trees that became prototypes of the World Tree are protected by law. They are prohibited from being destroyed. If there is no such prohibition, then the tree that embodies the main symbol is certainly considered ritual and is used in ancient folk rituals.

Is it possible to give a fat woman as a gift?

You can give a money tree to another person, but you need to think carefully about who. It can only be given to the person who will really look after and care for her, then the flower will continue to have its effect.

If another person’s flower withers, then financial difficulties may befall both the person to whom it was given and those who gave it.

You cannot give diseased specimens as a gift, or give away a fat one just like that - it is better to take a symbolic coin for it, so that there is no risk of going bankrupt.

It is best to give a money tree for a wedding or birthday. But there are no contraindications that the fat woman should not be given as a gift on any day.

Also, you cannot give it to a person who does not believe in its properties. Then the fat woman may be offended by both the old and new owners. There is no need to talk about any positive impact.

Where should a money tree stand to attract wealth?

An important aspect in caring for Crassula is lighting. Therefore, in order for it to bring financial well-being, it should be placed in a bright place. The best option is a window sill on the southwest side of the house.

Also, the place where the money tree grows must be clean and spacious, otherwise the tree may become sick or its crown will be deformed, which will reduce the positive effect of the flower.

It is recommended to plant the fat plant in a red or scarlet pot, which symbolizes prosperity and nobility. Additionally, the tree trunk is tied with a ribbon of the same color.

According to feng shui

According to Chinese teachings, Crassula is an effective money talisman. It can relieve fatigue and fill you with vitality.

It is believed that financial energy accumulates in the leaves. This makes them thicker. To enhance the flow of energy, you need to dig several Chinese coins tied with a red ribbon into the plant pot.

You can place a dragon figurine in the branches. She attracts wealth. An owl figurine would be appropriate nearby for proper management of money. At the base of the succulent you need to place 3 red lanterns to enhance the magical properties.

Features of caring for a fat woman

Although the fat plant is an unpretentious crop, there are a number of features that must be taken into account:

Crassula tolerates lack of moisture well; watering should be done once every 2-3 weeks;
Rubbing the leaves has a beneficial effect on the health of the money tree;
It is recommended to fertilize regularly. But this should be done only in the warm season (spring - early autumn); in winter it is better to stop. Fertilizers for cacti, as well as calcium- and phosphorus-containing fertilizers, are suitable as fertilizing;
Arranging a support if the tree loses its usual shape.

Common mistakes

Even despite the unpretentiousness of the Crassula, inexperienced gardeners can make a number of mistakes that either negatively affect the health of the flower or neutralize the positive effects provided by the Crassula.

Such errors and assumptions include:

Priority of watering schedule over actual soil moisture. Even if enough time has passed according to the calendar, it is still necessary to check the soil before watering. If the soil is still wet, you should postpone watering for another couple of days. The fat plant will survive a lack of moisture, but an excess can destroy it;
Choosing the wrong soil for planting. First of all, you should pay attention to the looseness of the soil so that it is easier for the money tree to gain a foothold in the pot. Nutrition in this case fades into the background. The best option is soil for succulents, which can be purchased at flower shops;
Choosing a light container for planting. When the flower grows to a certain level, it will become quite heavy and may simply topple over. Therefore, it is best to choose a heavier container for planting; the most effective option is clay;
Insufficiently careful inspection during transplantation. Crassula should be replanted once every 2-3 years (if the tree is young, then every year). All damage and defects must be removed to eliminate the risk of disease. Also, replanting a new tree should not be abrupt - it should be given time to adapt to new conditions. A period of 1-2 weeks is quite enough.
Spraying instead of wiping. Spraying the fat plant means excess moisture, which can cause the plant to suffer.

Answers to frequently asked questions

How do you know if there is too much lighting?

The leaves will begin to darken at the edges. To prevent this from happening, hang curtains or blinds in your home. Also, before purchasing, you should find out all the properties of the variety you are purchasing, then there will be no problems with an excess of light.

I don’t have a red pot, what container should I plant it in?

A container of any color will do. In order for the plant to bring financial well-being to the same extent as if it were planted in a scarlet pot, the outer walls of the container should be painted with red stripes or several scarlet ribbons should be hung on the tree.

The tree got sick, but recovered. Have the properties of bringing well-being changed?

Depends on how quickly you restored your pet. If you do it quickly enough, the plant will thank you and continue to bring prosperity and stability. If there is a delay in restoration, then the tree will take offense at you and will stop exerting a positive influence on its owners.

Myrtle occupies the golden middle of our list.

This evergreen shrub bears small white flowers. In addition to beauty, it also has healing properties. The word “myrtle” itself is translated from Greek as “balm”.

It is believed that myrtle makes a marriage successful, and brings happiness and peace to an already established family.

In some countries, this plant is even considered the best gift for newlyweds.

Traditional medicine recipes with Crassula

For some ailments, indoor trees are used especially often. It is useful to learn the basic recipes in order to use the fleshy leaves correctly and without harm to the body.

Treatment of hemorrhoids

For cracks in the anus or hemorrhoids, homemade ointment will be extremely useful. Fresh juice, squeezed from the fleshy leaves of a small tree, is added to regular Vaseline, soaked in a tampon and inserted into the anus.

It is recommended to repeat the treatment twice a day. Crassula quickly relieves inflammation and promotes the resorption of nodes.

Cold drops

For nasal congestion, you can make useful homemade drops using Crassula juice. To do this, the juice is diluted with water (there should be twice as much water), put into a pipette and 1 drop is instilled into each nostril every hour.

If you have a long runny nose, which threatens to become chronic, you can do rinsing. To do this, the juice squeezed from 5 leaves of the tree must be mixed with 3 large spoons of water - and thoroughly rinse the nose three times a day.

For varicose veins

To cope with varicose veins, you can prepare a useful tincture with alcohol. To do this, 6 leaves of the money tree are placed in a small glass container and poured with a glass of alcohol or vodka. The product is infused in the dark for 14 - 20 days, and then applied externally - lubricated and gently rubbed on the affected areas.

You can gargle your throat and mouth with healthy fatty juice for colds and dental ailments. To do this, dilute the juice of 10 leaves in a glass of warm, clean water and use a rinse 3 or 4 times a day.

The properties of money tree leaves relieve inflammation and reduce pain. For rheumatism or arthritis, bruises and sprains, you can make compresses. Several green leaves of the fat plant are crushed to obtain pulp, applied to the affected area, covered with a cloth or cotton pad and fixed with a bandage for 2 hours. You can make such useful compresses up to 3 times a day.

For nail fungus

You can get rid of the fungus using home remedies - the beneficial properties of the money tree will have a pronounced effect in the fight against an unpleasant disease. Treatment is carried out as follows:

First, the feet or fingers are steamed in hot water with the addition of soap or soda to soften the nails;
then, using scissors or a blade, remove dead layers from the nail - very carefully so as not to harm the tissues;
Money tree leaves, carefully peeled from the top layer of skin, are applied with the pulp to the affected nail and secured with a bandage or plaster.

The compress is left overnight, and in the morning is removed, the nails are steamed again and the affected areas are lubricated with a pharmaceutical anti-fungal ointment.

Since money tree effectively fights inflammation and infections, its properties can be used to treat bladder ailments and cystitis. Several leaves of Crassula are poured with boiling water, kept for an hour, and then drunk in the amount of 1 large spoon an hour before meals - in the morning and in the evenings.

Advice! You need to continue treatment for at least 10 days, but taking the infusion longer is also not recommended - if the dosage is exceeded, the fatty acid causes harm to the body rather than benefit.

For herpes on the lips

Herpes, or “cold” on the lips, is a very unpleasant disease that periodically affects the vast majority of people. You can cure herpes quickly using the beneficial properties of the money tree.

All that is necessary is to grind a few leaves by hand or using a blender, squeeze out the pure juice through gauze and apply it to the inflammation on the lips several times a day. Herpes will go away in a few days, and the skin will quickly restore its healthy state.

The properties of the money tree are very useful in the summer, as they are good against mosquito bites. Itchy areas should be lubricated with juice 6 times a day - the fatty acid will eliminate discomfort and relieve slight swelling at the site of the bite.

The antiseptic properties of the fat plant make it a good assistant in the fight against wounds, burns and bruises. The leaves are crushed to a pulp, applied to gauze, bandage or cotton pad, and then applied to the affected area and fixed on top. You need to keep the useful compress for 4 hours, after which the bandage is changed.
