In Russia since ancient times knew and actively used for various purposes such long-term grass as Ivan-tea. The benefits and harms it was checked more than one generation of Russians, and recipes for medicinal herbal teas and drinks out of it was hereditary.
Scientists believe Ivan-tea is a unique plant, as it differs in the content of a large number of nutrients. First of all, it is vitamin C, which in Cyprus is several times greater than in citrus. Next-b vitamins, organic acids, pectin, lectins, Gallic acid, tannins, iron, copper, manganese, potassium, calcium, phosphorus and other components that can have a beneficial effect on the internal organs of the human body. Tannins, the leaves contain a large amount of mucus-which has an enveloping effect, in a small amount is tannin (has an anti-inflammatory effect). Vegetable fibers-have a beneficial effect on the digestive system. The seeds contain fatty oils.
In addition, this plant has no caffeine and certain acids included in the composition of ordinary black tea and coffee due to which the metabolism and there is addictive and sometimes harmful addiction.
