Black radish – therapeutic recommendations
Black radish is considered primarily antilithiasic, both in biliary and renal lithiasis. Recent studies show the combination of black radish, birch leaves and roib roots ( Rubia tinctorum ), a tinctorial plant, extremely beneficial in renal lithiasis. This “golden triad” is capable of shredding the stones, having litotritic properties.
Black radish is also known for its choleretic and colagogue effect, and is also used for those with liver failure, cholecystitis and other liver conditions. Recently, beneficial results have been shown by the use of radishes juice for “cleaning” and regeneration of mucous membranes in cases of rhinitis or sinusitis.
Black radish is used in folk medicine, for its pectoral properties. It is of real use in bronchitis, cough of different etiologies, problems of the airways, even in asthma. Externally applied (race ), black radish has rubefiant properties, producing local irritation, which causes the ceding of congestive states of internal organs (pneumons, congestive states of the liver ).
Black radish is eaten grated, possibly in combination with apples. A juice can also be prepared, preferably in combination with carrots. This juice is drunk 15 minutes before meals.
We can also prepare a pectoral syrup, made of sliced radishes, which is covered with sugar, for 24 hours. It will result in a juice, which is given 3-4 teaspoons per day. In folk medicine it is recommended to pick a larger radish, fill with sugar or honey and horseradish. Bake, and the resulting juice is also used for pectoral properties 3-4 teaspoons per day.
Red and white spring radishes, also called “moon radishes”, have similar properties. It is recommended to consume with leaves with everything, which are very rich in vitamins, mineral salts and other chemicals very beneficial to our body.

This “elixir of youth”, cleanses the joints, lymphatic system,circulatory system and other internal organs. Middle pains, those in the lower and upper limbs and muscles disappear completely.
Note: this therapy is done every five years. We take 10 kg of black radish, wash them thoroughly, cut them off of all the fibers and stains without cleaning the shell, and then chop them. Put the pieces to the juicer and get about 3 liters of juice. Pour the juice into bottles, close them and keep them in the fridge (very important!) This juice is given one teaspoon three times a day, one hour after each meal.
It is very important not to overdose, the amount of juice! It can have dangerous consequences. To achieve the expected results, continue therapy until the entire amount of juice has finished. During this therapy, bone pain may occur, especially in people with many unhealthy deposits in the bone system. This phenomenon is normal during the cleaning process. Successful therapy can save you a lot of pain in the future.

If you do not have liver pain increase the amount to 2-3 teaspoons after seven days. It is good to avoid hot and sour dishes. During this therapy it is good to limit the consumption of bread, fish, eggs, milk and dairy products.
