A duckling, rosula, or tolstyanka is a very popular indoor plant, which, according to beliefs, attracts wealth to the house. It is better known as the money tree - the healing properties and contra-indications of this flower were discovered by folk healers for a long time, although its owners rarely guess what kind of natural treasure grows in their pot on the windowsill.
The healing properties of a houseplant of fatty or money tree
Long-term experience of phyto-therapeutists shows that redul is not inferior in terms of the content of active biological substances to such "leaders" of traditional medicine as aloe and Kalanchoe. It includes:
- essential oils;
- alkaloids;
- tannins;
- phytoncides;
- starch;
- carbohydrates;
- vitamins.
Due to this, the thick-skinned woman has valuable medicinal qualities:
- anti-inflammatory;
- disinfecting;
- antiviral;
- bactericidal;
- anesthetizing;
- antifungal;
- locally irritating;
- heating;
- decongestant;
- strengthening (with respect to blood vessels);
- antithrombotic;
- healing;
- antiulcer;
- antimosol.
As can be seen, various preparations based on the money tree are used mainly externally, for the treatment of diseases of the skin and mucous membranes. This is due to the fact that there are arsenic compounds in the rosula. Despite their meager amount, doctors consider it extremely dangerous for the digestive and nervous system to use such drugs orally.
Application of medicinal properties of money tree leaves
It is believed that even the very presence in the house or apartment of a fatty woman produces a curative effect. Plant leaves produce special biologically active substances that purify and disinfect indoor air, as a natural filter, kill pathogenic bacteria and virus cells.
An interesting observation - if a person living in an apartment or a house gets sick, too, the reds begin to "wither away". After recovering the patient, the flower is restored. Therefore, it is often called an indicator of the state of the body.
The above properties of the plant allow using it for the therapy of the following pathologies:
- herpes virus;
- wounds, abrasions and cuts;

Also, the medicinal properties of the money tree are used for nail fungus. Fresh gruel from leaves of the fatty woman effectively destroys the infection, promotes the rejection of the affected keratinized tissues and prevents the spread of fungal infections to healthy areas of the skin and nail plates. Completely cure fungus by means of rosules possible for 4-6 months of daily use
Contraindications to the use of medicinal properties of the flower money tree
As mentioned above, the leaves and stems of the described plant contain a certain amount of arsenic, so the therapy of diseases of the internal organs with oral administration of funds from the rosula is extremely undesirable.
In other cases, there are no contraindications to money tree preparations. They can be safely applied externally, especially freshly squeezed juice from the milled leaves of an adult plant or the gruel itself.
