Wild plants: names and photos. Volga herbs Volga herbs
It's amazing how rich the nature of our latitudes is in wild herbs. Medicinal plants widely inhabit fields and meadows, steppe and forests, on mountain slopes and in valleys. Many of them are well known to almost everyone, others are not so popular, but are also widely used in traditional and official medicine. Below we will consider some wild herbs, their purpose and human use.
What are herbs: classification
Wild herbs are divided into several typologies:
- by life expectancy,
- by appointment,
- for distribution.
Now we will consider each classification separately.
By life expectancy
According to the lifespan, wild herbs are divided into annuals, biennials and perennials.
Here are examples of some of them:
- annuals -, lapchatnik, as well as many others;
- biennials -, and others;
- perennials -, field mint, burdock, and so on.
Did you know? The most common living things on planet Earth are plants. There are more than 370 thousand species of them.
By appointment
Herbs are also classified according to their human use. They are divided into spicy and medicinal. Already from the names of these categories you can see what they are for and how they are used.
By distribution
The places where wild cereals grow allow them to be divided into those growing in forests, in the steppe and in the desert, in swamps and in the mountains, in meadows, in orchards and vegetable gardens.
Photos, names, benefits of wild herbs
There are a huge variety of wild plants, and almost every one of them can be found in the appropriate catalog or encyclopedia, with descriptions and photographs. 
We will also tell you about some of the herbs common in our territory, presenting their photos, a brief description and a positive effect on human health.

The nature of the Volga region is rich and diverse. From north to south, along the Volga, coniferous forests give way to deciduous ones, forest-steppe stands side by side with huge steppe expanses, turning into arid semi-desert.
Relief
The Volga region is mainly characterized by a flat relief, with a slope from the Valdai Upland in the north of the territory to the Caspian Lowland in the south. The right bank of the Volga is occupied by elevations, the average height of which is 200-250 m. The highest elevations of the relief in the Zhigulevsky mountains do not exceed 400 m. The slopes of these mountains are abruptly torn down to the Volga. Strongly indented by a ravine and gully network, in some places they form picturesque relief forms - ribbed accumulations of rocks, composed of limestone rocks. The left bank is a flat terraces above the floodplain, passing sirts. Their average heights range from 100 to 150 m.
Geomorphological unique
Khvalynskie Gory (Saratov Volga region) is a paleontological monument of the Cretaceous period. Because of the lime deposits, the mountains are white, they are called Cretaceous. The sediments contain a huge number of remains of cephalopods that lived in the warm shallow seas of the Mesozoic era.
Samarskaya Luka, the northern elevated part of the Zhigulevsky mountains (Samara region) is a natural and historical monument of world importance, included in the UNESCO catalogs. The uniqueness lies in the fact that Luka is composed of rocks of Paleozoic origin, while, as neighboring territories, rocks of Mesozoic and Cenozoic age. The reason for its occurrence is active tectonic movements at the beginning of the Cenozoic.
Climatic features
Most of the Volga region is located in the zone of moderate continental climate, in the south - the climate is continental. The whole territory is characterized by severe frosty winters with temperature minimums up to -30-35 ° С, and in summer the weather is hot and dry with temperature maximums of + 28 + 37 ° С. Average January temperatures rise from north to south from -16 ° С to -9 ° С, and in July - from + 16 ° С to + 25 ° С. Precipitation throughout the Volga region falls slightly from 600 mm / year in the north of the territory, on the Middle Volga 400-450 mm / year, and in the Lower Volga region, moisture is insufficient - 200-250 mm / year. Droughts are frequent in the Left Bank.
Inland waters
The world of the inland waters of the Volga region is rich and varied. The main river, the Volga, stretches from north to south of this natural region. This is the most abundant river, its basin area is more than 1300 thousand km2. On its way, the Volga receives about 200 tributaries of various sizes. The largest of them are the Oka and Kama rivers. Another large river system on the territory of the Volga region is the Don with its tributaries.
Hydrological unique
The Bolshoi Irgiz River holds the Guinness Book of Records as the most winding river in Europe. Refers to rivers with a meandering channel, i.e. carries its waters, winding strongly along the steppe Samara and Saratov left banks.
In addition to rivers, there are many lakes in the Volga region. The Upper Volga region is especially rich in them, where the total number of lakes reaches 650. The largest is Seliger. There are also many lakes in the Lower Volga region. They are all salty and shallow. The largest salt lakes are Elton and Baskunchak.
Limnological unique
Lake Baskunchak. Salt reserves in Baskunchak are huge - about 2 billion tons. In addition to salt, the lake has reserves of sulfuric ore and ocher, and gypsum reserves are hidden in the vicinity.
Lake Svetloyar. The lake is perfectly round. The origin of the basin has not been conclusively established. The water is absolutely transparent, it will burn for a long time in containers and does not lose its properties.
Volga soils
Soils are the main value of the Volga region. The soil cover is represented by a huge variety of soil types. Podzolic and sod-podzolic grow under coniferous and mixed forests of the Upper Volga region. Gray forest and gray forest-steppe under deciduous forests in the middle reaches of the Volga. The most fertile chernozem and chestnut soils have formed under the steppe forbs of the Lower Volga. They account for more than 60% of the territory.
Natural landscapes of the Volga region
The geographical position and the vast extent of the Volga region from north to south, its climatic and orographic features contributed to the emergence of a wide variety of natural zones and unique landscapes. Mixed and deciduous forests in the north of the Volga region are replaced by forest-steppe regions of the Middle Volga region, and the Lower Volga region is occupied by endless dry steppes and semi-deserts.
Vegetation
The flora of the Volga region is striking in its diversity. So, only on the Middle Volga more than 1,700 plant species grow. Although, due to intensive human activities, the vegetation of this territory has suffered greatly. A large number of species have become listed in the Red Data Book and are on the verge of extinction. So, due to the plowing of the land, there are almost no rich forb steppes left, they were replaced by wormwood steppes with weeds (ragweed, bitterness, dodder, etc.).
Floristic unique
The Caspian lotus is a relict plant of the Cretaceous period, originally from India. A possible way of the appearance of a plant on the Lower Volga is the migration of birds, in the intestines of which there could be a lotus nut. Subsequently, the seeds delivered in this way entered the Volga delta and germinated there. The area occupied by lotuses has increased over the years of protection from 0.25 hectares to 67 hectares. Astrakhan lotus fields are a UNESCO natural heritage site.
Animal world
The Volga fauna is represented by a huge variety of forest, forest-steppe, steppe and semi-desert species. Large mammals live in oak and pine forests - sika deer, elks, wild boars, wolves, foxes, raccoon dogs. There are a lot of hares, squirrels, there are sleepyheads and minks, hedgehogs. The steppe world is rich in rodents and birds of prey. Voles, ground squirrels, hamsters, marmots, pies, jerboas, steppe polecat are a favorite delicacy for large feathered predators. The steppe eagle, white-tailed eagle, black kite, golden eagle, saker falcon, snake-eater regulate the number of steppe rodents. Arid steppes and semi-deserts are home to about 20 species of reptiles. Among them are a nimble lizard, a round-headed round-head, a long-eared round head, a fast lizard, a squeaky gecko. Lots of snakes. Dexterous anglers are snakes. Non-poisonous but aggressive snakes. The semi-desert orderly is a sandy boa. There are many venomous snakes - vipers (common, black, Nikolsky, steppe), Pallas' snakes.
Faunistic unique
Desman is a relict endemic, leading a semi-aquatic lifestyle. Listed in the Red Book of Russia. Once widespread on the planet, the species has now become rare and endangered, as the places for these blind fishermen to live are becoming less and less. The reasons for the decline are numerous predators on land, for example, ferrets, otters, foxes. In the water, desman is hunted by marsh harrier, osprey, catfish and pike. They harm animals and wild boars, breaking their holes. Huge harm is caused by human activities associated with a change in the water level in rivers (dams, etc.), agriculture, water intake, etc.
The black stork is a hidden bird. It nests in remote places of the Zhiguli mountains, settles in the foothills not far from water bodies. It feeds on fish and small aquatic vertebrates, does not disdain rodents, molluscs, reptiles. This rare beautiful bird is listed in the Red Book.
There are also unique insects living on the banks of the Volga. One of them, the stag beetle, is the largest representative of beetles in Europe. Currently it is a rare and endangered species. The reason for the decline in the number of this beautiful beetle is deforestation.
Inhabitants of the Volga
The Volga waters are unusually rich in biological diversity of the animal world. Waterfowl live and feed here all year round - the connecting rod swan, the egret, the gray goose, the mallard, the Dalmatian pelican, and the teal. Ducks and waders nest in the thickets of reeds and cattails. Huge flocks of insects, frogs, snakes, lizards find food in the coastal Volga waters.
There is a huge variety of fish in the water column of the river. The ichthyofauna numbers over 100 species. Among them, pike, burbot, perch, ide and ruff live in the Volga all the time. Semi-anadromous fish pike perch, bream, roach and carp live in the river estuary waters rich in food, but they spawn against the Volga current. Sevruga, sturgeon, whitefish, beluga and herring are anadromous Volga fish that constantly inhabit the Caspian Sea, but go up the Volga for spawning. The number of valuable sturgeon fish has sharply decreased recently due to the active use of the Volga as a water body for the construction of hydroelectric power plants. Therefore, today these anadromous fish are under state protection.
Unique fish fauna
Catfish can be considered the true Volga giant. There have been cases of catching individuals of this species, the length of which exceeded 5 m, and the weight reached 400 kg. According to researchers, the age of catfish can reach 70-80 years. Catfish actively hunts at night, and during the day it hides in bottom holes under snags. It hibernates in small flocks at the bottom of the reservoir, practically does not feed.
Even more impressive in size is the beluga - the largest freshwater fish in the world. The weight of individual specimens reaches 1.5 tons. The lifespan can reach over 100 years. This record-holding fish is listed in the Red Book of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Today its reserves are severely depleted.
Ecology
The unfavorable ecological state of the Volga arose due to the intensive use of its water resources in human economic activities. River flow is highly regulated today. Seven powerful hydroelectric power plants have been built on the river, and dams have been erected. There is practically no natural river valley left. Most of it was flooded by the waters of huge reservoirs. Giant masses of water are used to irrigate the arid areas of the Lower Volga region. As a result, the nature of the river's annual flow has changed dramatically, the flow rate has decreased, and hence the ability to self-purify has decreased many times. The processes of water blooming are observed everywhere. This is an indicator of the eutrophication of the Volga, i.e. pollution by organic substances. In addition, the average temperature of the water surface has increased, which indicates a depletion of oxygen in the water, the consequence is a decrease in the biodiversity of the river. In order to preserve the unique Volga nature today, it is necessary to develop a network of specially protected natural areas in this region of Russia.
Herbal treatment is the most ancient way to fight all kinds of diseases. For thousands of years of its existence, man has found and studied the healing properties of hundreds of medicinal plants that can help with this or any other disease. Over a long history, many effective recipes have been created, many of which have come down and are used in traditional medicine today.
This section of the site presents many types of medicinal herbs, including field species, with high-quality photographs, the name of each plant and a detailed description of their beneficial properties and methods of application.
Despite the tremendous pace of development of traditional medicine and all the novelties offered by the pharmaceutical industry, the use of medicinal plants for the treatment of all kinds of diseases is still relevant and does not lose its popularity. They can be used both for prophylaxis and for the treatment of various chronic and acute diseases in any field of medicine.
Medicinal herbs used in traditional medicine can be fresh or dried, applied both externally and internally. Medicinal herbs are significantly safer for human health than pharmaceuticals. They have fewer contraindications and side effects on the body.
For treatment use:
- tinctures;
- decoctions;
- extracts;
- infusions;
- tea fees.
Despite the apparent simplicity and harmlessness, non-traditional treatment requires knowledge and care. Indeed, for a positive result, medicinal raw materials must be correctly collected. And tinctures, decoctions or extracts made from them are prepared only according to exact recipes. Do not forget about dosages. This is especially true for those drugs that need to be taken orally.
It is advisable, before preparing a medicine from herbs, to study our site, which lists medicinal herbs photos with names, to learn about the indications and contraindications of this or that medicinal plant, how to prepare them. We must not forget to carefully examine the raw materials for the medicine itself. It should be free of mold, dirt and other defects.

CONSOLIDATED MERCY THE BULLETIN OF FAITH - THE TEMPLE OF GOD
The temple is the best legacy that we can leave to our children and grandchildren. In Russia there has always been a tradition of so-called "contributions" to monasteries and churches: when Orthodox people bought, as a sacrifice for a temple, lamps, candlesticks, frames for icons and other liturgical utensils. And each of them knew that this sacred object was donated by him, is his contribution to the temple. The rector of the Holy Trinity prayer house in the city of Bolgar is Priest Alexander Shmagin.
Batiushka was recently appointed rector of this parish. The prayer house was built in 2000. Then the revival of Orthodoxy and Orthodox culture began, the once closed churches were opened, new ones were built. There weren't many parishioners in the churches at that time. The spirit of atheism was still alive in the people. Therefore, a small, cozy, warm prayer house was built, which could accommodate a small number of believers.
Now there are many more parishioners. A small building that barely accommodates all the worshipers, especially on big holidays. There is one more problem, the building is very low in structure and every service is unbearably stuffy, from which even open vents cannot save. This phenomenon is very upsetting for the rector and parishioners, because during the entire Liturgy people think only about how quickly the service would end and the opportunity to go out into the fresh air appeared.
With this issue, it was decided to turn to the local administration. The authorities met the Orthodox believers halfway and allocated a plot of land for the construction of a full-fledged church.
The construction of the new church began relatively recently. With the help of a small number of people, in 2012, the construction of a temple in honor of the Holy Spirit began. A lot of work has already been done. But now the work has been suspended for the most ordinary reason - there are no funds ... And the temple is being built exclusively at the expense of ordinary, believing people.
This year, with God's help, it is planned to complete the brickwork, to cover the roof over the temple. We need building materials, bricks, cement ... And very soon a team of workers from Ulyanovsk will arrive at the construction site, whose work will also need to be appreciated.
Dear brothers and sisters, we need your help. It doesn't matter that our sacrifices are sometimes modest, the main thing is that through the conciliar work we will give the Lord the opportunity to act and direct our affairs to Him only in ways known to him. The poor widow put in only two mites (coins), and according to the judgment of Christ, her sacrifice was recognized more than any other (Mark 12: 43-44). Let not the hand of the giver on the Temples of God fail: he will be worthy of God's grace in this life and in the future.
