Many plants have been used as medicinal plants since ancient times.Unfortunately, along with the development of pharmacology, many of them were replaced with pharmacological preparations.
Nowadays, however, more and more forgotten herbs and spices are being returned to, such as the one-year-old anise Pimpinella anisium and the two-year-old Myrrhis odorata anise carrot.
These plants belong to the celery family (formerly umbellate), just like parsley, celery and carrots.The useful part of these plants are both leaves and fruits.The root is also used in the carrot.
Due to the high content of essential oils in fruits, preparations from these plants have an expectorant, blood-purifying, diuretic, diuretic and carminative effect, as well as stimulating digestion.They support lactation in lactating women.
The fruits of these plants have a sweet taste, which is why in the past they were used as a spice for desserts, which modern confectioners are increasingly becoming convinced of.
The seeds of these species can be sown at the end of January in the peat substrate, and in early spring they can be planted permanently, using partially shaded places for cultivation.Seeds can be sown directly on a permanent site at the end of March or April. Plants bloom from June to July, and you can harvest their fruit in August.
