Zova is among the oldest and most medicinal plants in Europe. This plant is considered extremely medicinal when it comes to regulating digestion and purifying the blood. In addition, zova improves appetite.
The flowers of this plant are small, white and have a pleasant smell. Small green berries develop from the flowers, which become juicy, red-black when ripe. Raw berries have an unpleasant taste, but that's why the compote is excellent.
This time is called because it is harvested precisely in the period from May to July. The leaves, bark and root are collected in spring, the flower in June before it has fully bloomed, and the berries are harvested towards the end of summer when they are fully ripe.
Only the inner, green part is used. After picking, the flowers are placed on paper and kept in a warm place until completely dry. If the flower changes color or darkens, it should be thrown away.
Zova also has a detoxifying effect because it promotes the excretion of toxins from the lymph glands.
This plant can help with acne, ulcers, conjunctivitis and skin rashes.
In addition to being a laxative, it also acts as a diuretic and contributes to kidney health. It is used in conditions where more sweating is required and it treats dropsy.
Due to its laxative, diuretic and detoxifying properties, it is excellent as an aid in losing weight, reports Radio Sarajevo.
