Tincture recipe and methods of use
First of all, you need to prepare raw materials. It is recommended to collect the plant in late August or early September. During this period, the omentum accumulates biologically active substances and is able to bring maximum benefit to the body. Saltweed suitable for harvesting has a reddish color of the stems. To prepare the tincture, you will need the above-ground part, which must be cut off at the root.
After collection, the raw materials should be laid out on newspaper in a room with good ventilation. It is not recommended to keep the plant in direct sunlight, in which case it will lose its beneficial properties. The raw materials can be laid out in layers that do not exceed 2 cm. After the saltwort has dried, it must be transferred to a fabric bag or glass container for storage in a dark place.
Soleros grows only in saline soil
To prepare the tincture, you will need to take fresh, just picked raw materials. It is necessary to rinse the grass with water and grind it through a meat grinder or use a food processor to grind it. You need to transfer the resulting pulp into sterile gauze and squeeze the juice into a glass container. The medicine should only be infused with vodka. To do this, you need to mix the juice with an alcoholic drink in equal proportions and put it in the closet for a week. The finished tincture will have sediment. This is a variant of the norm.
In the absence of fresh raw materials, you can use the second cooking method.
- You will need 100 g of dry plant stems and 500 ml of vodka.
- The raw materials need to be ground in a coffee grinder and poured with an alcoholic drink.
- Then put the container in a dark place for 2 weeks.
The product needs to be shaken periodically.
To treat joints, the tincture should be used 2 times a day 15 minutes before meals. In this case, 15 drops of the medicine must be diluted with 1 tsp. water and take orally. The course of therapy should be from 10 to 30 days. You can also rub problem areas with the tincture before going to bed for 10 minutes. The course of treatment is 1 month.
When can you collect grass, how to dry and store it
Soleros grass has its greatest healing effect in late summer and early autumn. Its green color changes to a red-crimson hue, and inflorescences form on the stems. Local residents from areas where saltwort grows believe that the dense stems draw out from the soil all the minerals and elements that are used in mud therapy. Thus, the herb carries all the benefits of medicinal salts.
Interesting! Soleros grass is consumed not only fresh, but often also dried. Harvested during the flowering period, which occurs in July - August. The plant is cut to the very root using scissors or a sharp knife. Solonetz is dried either in the shade under a canopy, or in a warm room, but with good ventilation. The grass is laid out in a 2 cm layer on cloth or paper, turning it over periodically. This way it will dry better and not get damp.
When the stems are dry, they are placed in jars or fabric bags and stored in a cool, dry place. The raw materials are crushed to make it more convenient to measure the required amount. Use throughout the year as needed.
Solonetz grass combines many amazing properties, and its appearance is remembered for a long time. Thick green stems, turning purple as they ripen, look quite impressive. This is another proof that in any, even the harshest conditions, there are animals and plants that can survive there. Soleros is a decoration for soils with a high salt content.

There are specimens reaching a length of 45 cm. The flowers are recessed into the tissue of the stem and form spike-shaped inflorescences at the ends.

Varieties of the plant, how it reproduces, on what soils it grows
The genus Soleros has about 35 species. European - the most famous of them, eaten, common in Northwestern Europe. In Northern Norway, Pojarkova's saltwort is found, in South-Eastern and Eastern Europe, as well as in Siberia, saltmarsh saltwort grows. In the Gulf of Mexico, on the Atlantic coast of the United States, Bigelov's saltwort can be found. Soleros prostrata is common in Africa, Central Europe and the Mediterranean.
Solaris grass prefers wet salt marshes, sea coasts, the banks of salty rivers and lakes, and salty crusts. It can also be found in saline deposits, at an altitude of up to 3.9 km above sea level.
Note! No plant can withstand such a concentration of salt, but saltwort thrives in these conditions.
Propagated by seeds. It forms quite extensive thickets, but can also grow alone.
Amazing flora
Soleros (in Ukrainian “solonets”) is a plant not listed in the Red Book, but quite rare, because it grows only in certain conditions. In the Donetsk region, as well as throughout Ukraine, there are few such places.

“On the territory of Ukraine, only one species of this plant is found - “herbaceous solonets.” It grows only on salty soils, on sea coasts or in places where salt comes to the surface. In the regional landscape park “Kleban Byk” there is such an exit near the village of Alexandro-Kalinovo, and this location is very popular among tourists,” says Galina Seminikhina , leading specialist in environmental education at the RLP “Kleban Byk”.
Soleros is an annual plant. In early spring it is bright green, but by autumn it acquires a purple-burgundy hue and looks very picturesque
Another place where saltwort grows in the Donetsk region is the territory of the regional landscape park “Slavic Resort”.
“Unfortunately, our landscape park does not have sufficient resources to conduct scientific work, so we cannot say exactly what kind of saltwort grows on the coast of our lakes. The specificity of our park is that it includes a private development sector in its territory, but, according to our observations, this neighborhood does not affect the saltwort - it is a very unpretentious plant. Much greater harm to the environment is caused by unorganized tourists, who leave a lot of garbage after their vacation,” says Alla Zhilka, an employee of the Slavyansky Resort park .

What diseases and pests are there?
On a note! A common pest of saltwort and other plants of this family is the beet leaf miner. The insect is known for causing damage to beet plantings, mainly sugar beets. During the season, 4-5 generations of moths appear, with increasing numbers. By the end of summer its quantity is at its maximum. The number of generations depends on the region where the moth lives.
The pest is found in the south of the European part of Russia, Moldova, Ukraine, the Caucasus, Central Asia, the Near and Middle East. The damage is caused by the caterpillars. One generation of insect develops on average 1.5-2 months. The time boundaries of generations are blurred and during the summer all stages of insect development can be encountered simultaneously.
City-forming resource
The interesting connection between the saltwort and the settlements in the places where it grows was noticed by the participants of the “Grounding” project, which was carried out in Soledar by the “Izolyatsiya” cultural foundation.
“A lot of creative people from all over Ukraine and abroad took part in the art residence, which ran for more than six months. They were especially impressed by the saltwort that grows in the vicinity of Soledar. Some even drew a clear parallel between the city and the plant, since they both grew up on salt,” says Mikhail Kulishov.
One of the participants in the art residency, artist Vitaly Agapeev, even dedicated a separate graphic work to the saltwort.
In his works, Vitaly Agapeev uses an unconventional approach, so his graphic work “Soleros” is not understandable to everyone. Author: From the Izolyatsiya archive
“Soleros is a universal metaphor for the city. Both the plant and the entire population center live in extreme conditions. Both extract inorganic substances from the ground and process them and thereby support the life of other creatures. Actually, the whole of Soledar is a new reincarnation of saltwater, but woven from concrete, brick, metal, flora and fauna,” the artist explains his idea.
