This beautiful plant is more and more often found in Europe, although this is not its home place. She came, or rather we brought it from the western part of the Himalayas.

I write, because the plant did not come. The perpetrator is, of course, a man who brought Impatiens Glandulifera for decorative purposes and as a honey plant. This happened at the end of the 19th century, and at the present time there is a clear expansion of the plant to many regions of Europe.

Straight from our gardens, using natural media such as wind, or streams and rivers, the plant got into the natural environment and feels great there.

Opinions about the possible harmfulness of this plant for the natural environment are divided, while not about its healing properties. Impat food is because it has many healing properties.

In addition to being beautiful, it can still heal, because the plant has a number of healing properties and its main use is dermatology, skin cosmetics, hair.

Impatience is great for all kinds of skin inflammation. With allergic, psoriatic changes, eczema, acne. Apparently, this plant also stimulates hair growth and is used to treat alopecia.

In addition to skin treatment, tinctures and infusions from this plant are used in healing internal diseases, including liver, kidneys, hearts, atherosclerosis and rheumatic diseases. Apparently it also has anti -cancer properties.

According to what the map from the government is shown, the glandular impatience does not occur in my region or in the immediate vicinity. I took photos in the Silesian Park, i.e. 500 meters from my place of residence, where this plant is for the earthquake, and visiting the Krakow-Częstochowa Jura, I also meet it almost every step.

And let it stay that way, because the plant is incredibly charming, and in my opinion more useful than harmful.
