With a cold and bronchitis it is useful to drink in the form of tea for half a cup three times a day infusion of violets. For 1 cup of boiling water we take 1 tbsp. Dry grass and insist in a warm place until it cools.

If the grass is steamed in a thermos bottle, you can take twice as much water. The medicine will be ready in 2 hours. He will need to drink a little during the day.

Decoction from flowers: As a raw material we use dried flowers of a plant in an amount of 1 tbsp. Fill them with a glass of boiling water, put it in a water bath and let it stand for about 2 hours with a weak boil. The composition is filtered and we take 2 tablespoons. With an interval of 3 hours. The use of herbs in the form of decoction is indicated in bronchitis in adults and adolescents over 12 years.

The same principle is prepared and infusion. Insist it in the heat it takes about 4-5 hours (in a thermos - 2 hours).

A simpler recipe for the decoction, which can be prescribed by doctors: For 200 ml of boiling water take 20 g (2 tablespoons) of finely chopped raw material, boil the mixture for a quarter of an hour and leave to infuse for another 45 minutes. To the strained and squeezed broth, add boiled water to a total volume of 200 ml. We take the medicine 3 or 4 times during the day. Single dose - 1 tablespoon.

You can use the violet grass and bronchitis in children. As an expectorant, we prepare infusion of 200-250 ml of boiling water and 10-12 g of dry plant raw materials. We insist under the lid before cooling down and suggest that the baby drink infusion for 3-4 meals.

But as we know, children do not like herbal decoctions and infusions, but they gladly drink sweet syrups based on cough. Such a tasty syrup can be made from the flowers of a violet tricolor. Since the evening 1 tbsp. Dry flowers pour 0.5 liters of boiling water and leave until the morning. After 12 hours the composition is filtered and mixed with 0.5 kg of granulated sugar. Within a couple of hours, boil the syrup to the required density. In the syrup, you can add juice of half a lemon and boil for another 10 minutes.

  • Alcoholic infusion is prepared from 1 cup of vodka and 2 tablespoons. Dry herb violets. We insist the composition exactly 2 weeks in a dark room, tightly closing the lid. Do not forget to shake dishes regularly with tincture. At the end of the infusion time, the composition is filtered, folding the gauze into 3-4 layers. Take medicine for coughing 3 times a day. Single dose - 25 drops, which can be diluted in 1 tbsp. Water. Infusion is considered a good remedy for allergic and other types of bronchitis.
  • Powder is also prepared from dry grass violets, thoroughly rubbing it in a mortar and sifting. Powder is good for treating children, mixing it with sugar. A single dose of powder - 0.5 grams (at the tip of a teaspoon). Multiplicity of admission - 4 times a day. Violet powder with sugar is considered an excellent expectorant.
