Our dried monarda is grown organically on our family farm in the Tambov region of Russia, consistently recognized as one of the country's most ecologically clean areas since 2011. We cultivate a diverse range of crops, including grains, legumes, oilseeds, essential oil plants, melons, berries, fruits, medicinal herbs, and flowers. This 1-liter container of dried monarda contains whole plant fragments (flowers, leaves, and stems), perfect for convenient use.
Monarda's potent medicinal properties stem from its high concentration of essential oils found in its leaves, flowers, and even stems. With minimal contraindications and a broad range of therapeutic benefits, monarda offers relief from numerous ailments. Scientific studies have demonstrated monarda oil's effectiveness in treating chronic lung diseases, tissue transplantation, and blood preservation. Its potent anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties are particularly effective against fungal infections.
Monarda's oil, infusions, and leaf juice promote the healing of chronic skin wounds. Internally, monarda leaf infusions provide analgesic effects and accelerate wound healing. Soaks and compresses further enhance its healing properties, while applying fresh leaf juice directly to wounds offers rapid relief. Its bactericidal action surpasses that of thyme and eucalyptus essential oils, with the added benefit that harmful bacteria develop resistance to monarda oil more slowly than to antibiotics.
Monarda also exhibits diuretic and anthelmintic properties. It strengthens capillary walls, promotes cardiac vasodilation, and effectively manages arterial hypertension. It aids digestion and improves overall gastrointestinal function. Russian research has identified high antioxidant levels in monarda, supporting its use in therapeutic and prophylactic preparations. Its immune-boosting properties make it a valuable preventative measure during epidemics.
Monarda's versatility extends beyond medicinal uses. In the food industry, it serves as a natural preservative for fruits and vegetables, a flavor enhancer, and an ingredient in soft drinks. In home cooking, monarda adds a unique zest to seasonings, beverages, soups, and meat dishes, offering a refreshing lemon-like flavor.
Create your own bergamot-like tea by brewing equal parts green and black tea, adding a couple of monarda leaves after two minutes, and steeping for another two minutes. This fragrant and flavorful beverage provides similar benefits to lemon tea, aiding in the relief of colds and inflammation.
In cosmetics, monarda acts as a bioactive additive in creams and balms, providing a pleasant aroma and acting as a natural preservative. Its medicinal properties treat acne, skin scaling, and offer an anti-aging effect. It also strengthens hair and helps prevent hair loss.
