What and when are collected? Inflorescences are baskets with part of the stem 1-2 cm long, before the beginning of flowering, when the baskets have not yet opened. They are dried for a long time, because the plant easily rots and spoils.

When is it used? As a choleretic agent that disinfects the bile ducts and ureters, as well as anthelmintic and hemostatic (contains many flavones and flavopglycoside salipurposide, sterol, carotene, vitamins K and C). It gives especially good results for cirrhosis of the liver, gallstones with colic, jaundice, cholecystitis, and hepatitis. In patients, nausea, vomiting, pain in the area of ​​the liver decrease, bloating (flatulence), bilious coloration of the sclera and skin disappear, and the liver decreases. Cumin is especially effective for angiocholitis. Cumin increases the acidity of the stomach and the secretion of pancreatic juice (acting: bitterness, tannins, volatile oil). In diseases of the genitourinary organs, it is used as a diuretic that does not irritate the kidneys. Increases blood pressure. Improvement in health is noticed on the 3rd-4th day of use.
