Benefits of Oman
According to the myth, a true oman grew up wherever the tears of the beautiful Helen of Troy fell during her abduction from Sparta. Although a woman's tears are nothing to be happy about, we can be glad for the abundance of this herb.
Inula helenium, the Latin name of this plant, is commonly found in Western Europe, the Indian peninsula and the western part of China. It is a perennial and bushy herb reaching one and a half metres in height. It has long, rather large leaves and tasselled yellow flowers. It grows in heathland, palms and along roadsides, where it seeks mainly shady places with plenty of moisture and nutrients.
Substances beneficial to our health are found throughout the plant, but the root is the richest. It also smells interesting. That is why it is often used for the production of essential oils in the cosmetic industry. It was also popular in veterinary practice. One of the English names of this plant means "healer of horses" The herb is popular in Ayurveda and Chinese folk medicine. In Europe, drops or lozenges made from oman root were a common cough remedy in the 19th century. Even today, the use of oman is quite common. You may come across it in the form of a syrup or infusion of the dried rhizome. It can be drunk or made into baths and compresses. Consumption in reasonable quantities is also suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women. However, after eight weeks, we advise a break.
