We can talk about the amazing medicinal properties of orange maclura (Adam's apple) for a long time; there are countless examples of helping people. Sometimes there are situations when a person needs help urgently and maclura helps out.
For example, a woman whose jaw is very inflamed. The poor thing could not eat for several days and completely close her mouth from pain, nothing helped. The problem was solved by a compress with a year's tincture of maclura, applied at night. In the morning the woman was able to eat and close her mouth.
Or a man with peritonitis after removal of appendicitis - a constantly elevated temperature, a “bump” formed under the surgical suture, the doctors were thinking about repeat surgery. And again, maclura performed a miracle (though together with adaptogens, anti-inflammatory herbs and mumiyo) - the lump resolved within a few days (the year-old tincture is very strong).
There are many such examples. I really want people to be able to help themselves in such situations. Many years ago, basic knowledge of medicinal herbs was a necessity, a condition for survival. Today people don’t know what to apply to a bruise or cut, what herbs to drink for colds and flu, and run to the pharmacy.
But let's get back to our miracle maclura...

Adam's apple tincture recipe
Maclura fruits
Fruits collected in October or November are best suited for tincture. Before use, the fruits must be washed thoroughly, but cleaning their surface from all pathogenic microorganisms is extremely problematic. Therefore, for infusion, it is best to take alcohol or moonshine 96° - at such a strength, all microfauna on the surface is guaranteed to die. In addition, apple fruits are very juicy, and with prolonged infusion, the total strength of the drink will drop to a comfortable 50-55%.
Ingredients:
- Adam's apple fruits - 0.5 kg;
- alcohol/moonshine 96° - 0.5 l.
Remember that the Adam's apple is extremely easily soiled, and it is very difficult to clean your utensils from it. I recommend using those that you don’t mind throwing away later. Some people clean them with sunflower oil or alcohol, but this is a very labor-intensive process.
Cooking procedure
- Wear gloves to avoid contact of moclura juice with skin. Grind the fruits (on a grater, in a blender or through a meat grinder).
- Mix the resulting slurry with alcohol and put it in a cool, dark place to infuse.
- The infusion time depends on the method of application. The optimal period is 1 year. If the drink is needed urgently, then a 2-week tincture is enough for external use, and 1-6 months for internal use.
For storage, it is best to choose a dark, cool place where the tincture can be stored for 10 years without losing its qualities.
I recommend not throwing away the remaining cake - you can make an excellent ointment from it, which is no less effective than the tincture itself.
Features of treatment
In pharmaceutical products, maclura is contained in small quantities along with phytoextracts of other medicinal plants.
But in homemade ointments the concentration of poisonous juice is quite high. Throughout the entire therapeutic course, safety rules should be followed:
- after rubbing the ointment into the sore joints, you must wash your hands thoroughly using hygiene products;
- the container with the product should be stored in places inaccessible to small children;
- If the consistency, color or smell of the ointment changes, you should stop using it for treatment.
If dyspeptic (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) or neurological (headaches, dizziness) disorders occur during therapy, you should immediately stop using the ointment. These symptoms may indicate the accumulation of toxic compounds in the body and poisoning. You need to see a doctor for examination and, if necessary, treatment.
Tincture ointment recipe and its use
The ointment is made like this: mix the cake with olive oil and melted pork fat in a ratio of 1:1:1, then beat with a blender.
The ointment is great for getting rid of warts and wen. It is also very effective for hemorrhoids.
Important!
Fat must be melted very carefully. Ideally, it is best to use a water bath for this to prevent it from boiling. The melted fat must be cooled to room temperature and only then added to the mixture.
Compress for joints and cartilage
For the compress you will need a tincture of half a kilogram of maclura fruits. The container for the future compress must be sterilized. This can be done using the oven. Place the entire Chinese orange, cut into small cubes, into a prepared glass jar. Fill the jar with vodka or alcohol to the rim. The mixture needs to infuse for two weeks with the lid tightly closed.
You can apply a compress by applying gauze soaked in the tincture to the sore spot. Wrap the area with film and wrap it with a warm cloth or scarf. Application time is from half an hour to several hours. To achieve the effect, the procedure must be repeated every day for 1-2 weeks. The compress will perfectly cope with the symptoms, warm and relieve pain. The joint will become mobile again. But do not forget that a compress will help relieve symptoms, but not cure the problem.
Side effects
Since Chinese orange has strong properties, it must be used very carefully so that the healing effect does not turn into harm. In case of an overdose, you can get an allergic reaction or poisoning with symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. If the tincture is used incorrectly, it can harm the liver.
You should not take maclura medications orally while you are taking a course of antibiotics. It is also strictly prohibited to consume alcoholic beverages while using products from this fruit.
Do not combine or use the tincture after chemotherapy. When using the drug on the skin, make sure that there are no manifestations of allergies (hives, rashes). Wash your hands thoroughly after use - do not allow the tincture to contact the mucous membranes of the body.
