Watercress
However, through some neglect, this plant was almost forgotten by people. Originally it is from Eurasia, but today it spreads to almost all corners of the world.

How to do it?
All you have to do is extract the juice, and then apply it to the affected areas.
To increase the effect, you can also make compresses from watercress or crushed leaves.
The protein should always be used fresh, because at that moment only all its active components are available.
It is best to drink the juice mixed with water in a ratio of 1:5 (1 part juicy juice and 5 parts water). Of course you can eat it directly, for example in the form of salad leaves.
But do not drink it every day, but every other day, so the body has enough time for gradual detoxification.
Never drink only gum juice, but dilute it. It is so strong that theoretically it can irritate the mucous membranes of the digestive tract.
When applied to the skin it is also diluted with water in a ratio of 1:1.
Effect on cancer and heart disease
Several recent studies revealed the effect of cranberries on tumor growth and the spread of metastases.
This was particularly effective in breast cancer.
Experts say that watercress is very effective in preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases, such as high cholesterol and the formation of blood vessels.
It is also recommended that smokers at least occasionally consume quail salad, because it can completely prevent the harmful effects of smoking.
How to make a watercress salad
First rinse the heat-resistant leaf thoroughly in water. Then soak it in water by adding salt and vinegar. Leave it there for 1 hour.
Then mix the leaves with chopped garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper.
You can add other vegetables, such as onion and tomatoes, depending on your preference.
Before eating, leave the prepared salad like this in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
How to make a compress
Cut watercress leaves into small pieces and crush them in a stone bowl to release the liquid.
Before applying to the skin first disinfect the affected area with alcohol. Then place the bloody watercress leaves on it, wrap it with a bandage and secure it with adhesive tape.
Leave the compress for 2-4 hours.
Finally remove the wrap and rinse the skin with cold water.
