The rabbing is a very widespread shrub plant of the genus of woody plants with flowers. About 160 species that differ from their growth, the color of their fruits and the shape of their inflorescences are known. There are varieties of evergreen and other deciduous.
Many beautiful varieties of this plant are used for decorative purposes. But the most coveted are those that have medicinal properties (for example, black thorn, red thorn, etc.).
Fact: doctors use the medicinal virtues of the bush to treat many ailments, in particular hypertension. Special attention is paid to the competent use of the product. The voluminous list of organic compounds of the plant requires a careful correlation with specific therapeutic regimes.

IMPORTANT: It is necessary to know which biologically active compounds the different parts of the bush distinguish.
The fruits, the cortex, the leaves and the inflorescences of the red blueberry differ by their composition and its medicinal application. Red cranberry berries contain many organic acids, including Valerian acid. They are rich in various plant compounds: pectins, tannins, esters similar to tar, glycosides (viburnine is the most important). They contain compounds of iodine, chrome, phosphorus, manganese, zinc, selenium, iron, copper.
They have a high concentration of vitamins (vitamin K, tocoferol, bet a-carotene). Raspberry products exceed ascorbic acid content – for 2 times, sugar – for 3 times, iron – for 1. 5 times. The cortex also has a high pharmacological value, since it includes tannins (flobafen) and resinous compounds, glucosides and phytosterols.
It has a unique set of organic and fatty acids: caprylic acid, linoleic acid, palmitic acid, oleic acid, zeroing acid and acetic acid. The leaves are highly appreciated by their steroids, saponine, ascorbic acid, salicin and tannins.
Important! Official medicine, together with popular medicine, increasingly prescribes red blueberry as a complement to the main treatment of hypertension.
How does red blueberry affect the blood pressure of a person?

Before starting a treatment, several diagnostic measures must be carried out to prevent possible health damage and identify:
- individual intolerance;
- an average blood pressure to determine the dose of the medication;
- a possible pregnancy;
- Gastric juice hyperacidity;
- thrombophlebitis, tendency to thrombosis and other blood diseases;
- Urolithiasis;
- renal disease;
- drop.
Keep in mind that the Rose Mosqueta accumulates a significant amount of toxic lead (in 100 g of product – almost the maximum allowed limit of daily consumption of this element).
Characteristics of the use of red blueberry in the treatment of arterial hypertension

A contraindication for the use of red blueberry is chronic kidney disease. People with gastric juice hyperacidity and some blood diseases (leukemia, thrombophlebitis, etc.) should not consume it.
How to properly keep the berries
Wild red currants grow differently in different climatic areas. In most regions, red currants begins to mature at the beginning of autumn. The best time to start collecting them is when the first frost arrive. At this time of the year they contain as many healthy ingredients and will have a delicious taste.
It is best to cut the clusters with a pruning scissors so as not to squeeze the berries and avoid the loss of juice. If you can’t wait for natural maturation on the bush, immature red blueberries (but not green) can get in the freezer for two days to “ripen.”
Important: it is better to collect blueberries when time is dry, to increase your conservation time.
The maturity of the berry is determined by its bright red color and its softness, and it is easy to tear it out of the peduncle. The main concern is to preserve all the properties of blueberries as well as possible after the collection. For a better conservation in their natural state, berries can be dried, preserved cold or freezing.
If a warehouse is available with a temperature of about 6-7 degrees, the mature clusters can be hung upside down or put them in a well covered pot. In an urban environment, clusters can be hung on a fresh balcony.
Freezing is suitable for keeping whole and very mature berries. You can freeze blueberries in food containers, plastic bags and glass jars. The best way to conserve juice is to freeze them in clusters.
Attention! If the berries bruise during the collection and transport process, they must be processed immediately. Without juice, crushed berries have little value.
The drying at home is done in a heated oven at 50-60 degrees. First, you have to wash and collect the fruit, leaving only the whole and mature berries. Next, you have to place the berries on a dry cloth to drain the water.
You can then dry them on a paper covered. Place the berries in a single layer. Slightly open the apparatus door during the drying process to prevent the berries from burying. When the berries have been wrinkled, take them out. Then, remove the remaining rabitos and distribute the berries in the dried container prepared.
Outdoor drying is a softer but also slower method. The berries are placed on clean paper, with a fine cloth on top. Every two or three days, you have to remove them.
Sugar grat is a popular way to collect red blueberries. The grated product is mixed with sugar in a proportion of 1: 2. It is preserved in sterilized bottles in a cool place. Nalewka. Newly squeezed juice of red blueberry (100 g), sugar (100 g), water (100 g), vodka (0. 5 l) – mixes and puts in the fridge for 2 days. The mixture can be poured into a bottle and save in the refrigerator.
Fact. From the remaining cake of the squeezed one you can prepare a very useful preparation: red blueberry oil (using oil cake with vegetable oil in a proportion of 1: 4).
The red blueberry has a unique therapeutic and preventive effect throughout the human body. And its availability and ease of handling makes it especially popular in medicine. Phytotherapy with the use of this plant is a significant addition to the traditional treatment of hypertension.
