Siberian Ligularia

* There is a legend that in the old days, delinquent young monks in some Tibetan monasteries were subjected to a very peculiar punishment. They were whipped on the heels with rods from pre-prepared flower stalks of local ligularia species. And although the monks winced from the sharp pain, the marks from the blows disappeared almost immediately after the end of this procedure.
Healing properties.
By the way, in folk medicine, some types of ligularia are used in the form of infusions and decoctions as an anti-inflammatory and wound-healing agent. That's why monks' heels could heal so quickly. In addition, it is known that Siberian ligularia infusions are used to reduce appetite in people who are overweight, and they also treat diseases of the nervous system and men's diseases.
