In our rural land, there is an ordinary weed, people do not have a good impression of it, in childhood, we called it "ghost needle grass", "mother-in-law needle", probably because its seeds are shaped like needles, bringing us endless sting. This is the protagonist we are going to introduce today - the marigold silver plate. However, this seemingly ordinary weed is rich in medicinal value and nutrients, and it is necessary to re-examine it and call for people to pay enough attention to the cultivation and protection of calendula plates.
In farmland, roadsides, and even in home gardens, calendula plates can be found everywhere. It has many aliases, but the one we were most familiar with when we were children was probably "Ghost Needle Grass". This weed seems to be a nightmare for rural children, and the seeds of the calendula silver platters that grow in the fields, strangely shaped like needles, make us fear in childhood.
Although the calendula plate is in our impression of a "weed", it is actually extremely adaptable to the living environment. It is resilient, can grow in a variety of environments, and is not picky about the soil, but it is best to choose loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Spring is the right time to sow seeds, and after sowing, it is necessary to maintain a moderate degree of humidity, and at the same time pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases to ensure the growth of calendula plates.
Surprisingly, this "ghost needle grass" that we once feared is actually rich in medicinal properties. Scientific studies have shown that calendula plates are excellent at regulating blood pressure. Known as the "blood pressure grass", it has a certain antihypertensive effect on people with high blood pressure, and has the effect of raising blood pressure to normal blood pressure for people with low blood pressure. This herb contains medicinal ingredients that are difficult to obtain in our daily diets, and yet it grows silently all around us.
In the age of poverty, calendula silver plates were people's "life-saving food". Even if living conditions improve, it is still an excellent wild vegetable, especially in the diet of the elderly. Its rich nutrient content not only provides people with the energy they need, but also contains a range of elements that are beneficial to health. Therefore, we should no longer ignore this "ordinary" weed, but should re-examine its place in our lives.
In modern medical research, calendula plates show value that cannot be ignored. As a plant known as "blood pressure grass", it has a good two-way regulatory effect in regulating blood pressure. This discovery has aroused widespread interest among researchers, and the in-depth study of calendula plates is gradually becoming the focus of the medical community. Perhaps, in the future, we will be able to find more health treasures from this ordinary weed.
There are many seemingly ordinary things in our lives, but they may contain a wealth of value. Just like the calendula plate, it was once overlooked and even rejected by people, but when we look closely, we find that it has a rich medicinal and edible value. This reminds us that we should re-examine everything around us and not label things as "ordinary" or "useless". Perhaps, it is these neglected things that are the most valuable treasures in our lives.
In rural areas, the cultivation and protection of calendula plates not only helps to maintain ecological balance, but also provides people with both medicinal and edible values. So let's work together to rediscover the weeds around us, discover the treasures in them, and make them play a bigger role in our lives.
