How to prepare medicinal juice from celandine for the winter

In order to extract juice, all parts of the plant are used, from the root to the flowers. But, before preparing raw materials, stock up on rubber gloves. After all, the stems and leaves of celandine are very soft and the juice from them is released at the slightest pressure. It will be very difficult to wash your hands later.

In the root of celandine, the concentration of medicinal substances is very high and is several times higher than the amount of the same substances in the stem and leaves. But you should not extract juice only from measles, this is fraught with overdose and poisoning.

So, a freshly dug celandine bush should be rinsed from dust and the root cut off. It must be washed especially thoroughly using a brush.

Dry the grass a little. Put on gloves and grind the stems, leaves and roots through a meat grinder.

Place the resulting “porridge” in a jar, close it with a regular plastic lid and place it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

During this time, the juice will be released from the damaged plant and it will be easier to squeeze it out.

Put on rubber gloves again and squeeze the celandine juice through the cheesecloth. Do not cork the bottle; the juice still needs to ferment.Pour the clean juice into a jar or bottle and put a rubber glove or pacifier on the neck, depending on what kind of container you have.

Place the juice in a warm, dark place to ferment. Depending on the room temperature, fermentation can last from 6 days to two weeks.

After fermentation is complete, the celandine juice is considered ready. In its pure form and in a cool place, celandine juice can be stored for 6 months. If you want to increase shelf life, dilute the juice with alcohol or vodka in the ratio of 4 parts juice: 1 part alcohol. Thus, celandine juice can be stored for up to three years.

Celandine, you can also dry.
