Platycodon grandiflorus after the rain.


Platycodon grandiflorus after the rain.

Thanks God, we had rain after weeks of drought and my Platycodons opened one by one. Like eyes :))
Just for medical info, roots of this plant are very good anti-inflammatory, especially in colds or influenza.

Bjs@it is worth to try. Just for fun I remember when there were several cases of bird flu in the UK, some years ago. One of my patients, whose name was Mr. Blackbird (in translation) asked me to make him all necessary examinations after he arrived from the UK to Slovakia for holiday. He worked as waiter in London. He looked pretty well, no temperature, no signs to make me suspect bird flu, so I asked him why he was worried if he had any signs of infection. He answered, that during the flight (lol) he had strange feelings on his chest :))
So - potential object for treatment with Platycodon root :)
