Coral Kaline, a highly esteemed shrub in traditional folk medicine
Coral Kaline, also known as 'red kaline', is a plant species that can grow up to 3 meters tall. This plant is widely distributed in both Asia and Europe, where it grows in moist and shaded forests and shrublands. In Poland, it is a popular medicinal plant, whose name is derived from the color of its fruits, which resemble the color of corals. The bark of the coral kaline is the main medicinal raw material, which is collected due to the abundance of active substances it contains, such as catechin tannins, triterpenes, phytosterols, essential oils, and scopoletin.
Traits of coral kalin
Coral kalin displays anti-spasmodic and anti-hemorrhagic effects, lowering the tonus of the uterine muscles and reinforcing the alleviation of pain sensations. Furthermore, it is capable of halting mild bleeding from the genital organs. It is also worth considering comparing it with Chinese angelica!
Application of coral kalina
Coral kalina may be beneficial for menstrual disturbances (such as irregular or painful menstruation), uterine mucosal inflammations, and bleeding that occur during menopause. It can also be useful in the treatment of severe back, gallbladder, and abdominal pain that resembles menstrual pain but has nothing to do with menstruation. It is also suggested that coral kalina may have potential benefits for pregnant women experiencing leg cramps, uncontrollable nausea, and predispositions towards premature labor or miscarriage. To prepare a decoction of coral kalina bark, one must pour 1/2 tablespoon of bark with a glass of boiling water and boil for 5 minutes. Then, strain and drink 1-3 tablespoons after meals. Coral kalina is a plant known for its ability to alleviate female ailments such as excessively heavy menstrual bleeding or menstrual pain. Caution is always advised when using herbs, as there are no adequate data on the safety of their use, particularly in pregnant women whose situation requires medical consultation.
