Blackcurrants (Ribes nigrum) have extraordinary therapeutic properties. They help detoxify the body, regulate hormones, fight anemia, stimulate the growth of bones and strengthen them, help regenerate body cells, and prolong life. In the natural medicine of the Nordic and Baltic peoples, blackcurrants, a wild berry that ripens in the partial shade of forests and clearings, is considered a real panacea. Now let’s see how to make blackcurrant powder and how to use blackcurrant powder at home.
How to Make Blackcurrant Powder
After picking the bunches of black currants, spread them out very well on a piece of paper directly in the sun, or in a well-ventilated place with a lot of heat (otherwise the black currants will spoil). After completely dehydrated, blackcurrants become shriveled like raisins. Keep them as such in an airtight jar until using. When you want to use the blackcurrant powder, grind the dried berries in an electric coffee grinder into a fine powder. Pout the powder in a sealed small glass jar and use it over the course of several months.
9 Amazing Health Uses of Blackcurrant Powder
- Bronchitis, Pneumonia, and Tuberculosis – 3-4 tablespoons of blackcurrant juice, five to six times a day, for as long as possible. If you don’t have fresh berries to prepare this juice, you can continue the cure with blackcurrant powder or blackcurrant syrup.
- Viral hepatitis, Flu, Recurrent, and Viral Infections – 6 tablespoons of blackcurrant juice, three times a day, 10 minutes before each meal, during the summer season. During the cold season, you can have 4 teaspoons of blackcurrant powder a day on an empty stomach, for at least one month to increase immunity. In case of hepatitis and spleen conditions, this juice not only greatly boosts immunity, but also helps to decongest these organs. For sensitivity to viral infections (respiratory, intestinal, renal) eat 100 g of wild strawberries and 100 g of blackcurrants daily when these berries are in season. In the off-season, take half a teaspoon of blackcurrant powder and half a teaspoon of rosehip powder per day.
- Anemia – drink a cup of blackcurrant juice on an empty stomach daily, or take one teaspoon of blackcurrant powder three times a day for 2-3 weeks. Blackcurrant juice and powder have really strong effects in fighting all types of anemia because they stimulate the formation of red blood cells and help with iron deficiency.
- Circulation Disorders – 2 teaspoons of powder twice a day have exceptional effects on peripheral circulation. If you have cold extremities, even in the warm season, try following this remedy for 5-6 weeks. The same remedy is recommended for edema during the hot season, capillary fragility, and bruising very easily.
- Growth, and Puberty Hormonal Disorders – combine 2 teaspoons of dried blackcurrant powder with one teaspoon of rosehip powder in a cup of water at room temperature. Leave to soak overnight, add 1-2 teaspoons of raw honey, and drink on an empty stomach. For best results, follow this remedy for three months. This remedy has vitaminizing effects, strengthens the bones, and increases learning and focus capacity. It is also an excellent treatment for sick children or children with growth delays.
- Early Menopause Symptoms – dried blackcurrant powder, like hot blackcurrant leaf tea, has slight sedative effects, stops menstrual bleeding, and balances hormones. Drink one or two cups of tea a day or have 3 teaspoons of powder on an empty stomach.
- Alcohol Addiction – simmer 2 tablespoons of dried blackcurrants and 1 teaspoon of parsley seeds over low heat in 3 cups of water for 15 minutes. Remove from the fire and allow to cool. Drink this decoction in one sitting, on an empty stomach. Ideally, continue for 6 months. This decoction may induce strong vomiting and diarrhea, signs of the body detox from alcohol. If you continue this remedy daily for a few weeks without interruptions and do not consume alcohol while at it, the alcohol addiction disappears relatively quickly and you can also build a certain intolerance to alcohol.
- Canker Sores, Gingivitis, and Periodontitis – boil a spoonful of dried black currants in half a cup of water, on medium heat, for 5 minutes, then strain. Rinse your mouth with this decoction 3-4 times a day. Alongside, chew slowly on blackcurrant powder throughout the day for best results.
- Progressive Myopia – blackcurrants (berries and leaves) increase visual acuity (including night vision), and help correct certain vision deficiencies. Long cures (3-6 months) with blackcurrant powder or maceration are recommended.
