History of lilacs

We meet lilacs in gardens and cities along roads and sidewalks. The first shrubs were probably imported to Europe in the mid-16th century by imperial envoys from Constantinople. It was the most common species of lilac (Syringa vulgaris). His homeland is Southeast Europe and Asia. Another species is the Chinese lilac (Syringa x Chinensis). It is a cross between a common lilac and a Chinese Syringa, which was bred in France around 1777. The two species differ from each other at first sight in the shape of leaves. However, both produce beautiful and fragrant flowers.

Health benefits of lilacs

The plant has historically been used against intestinal parasites and in the treatment of malaria. It was applied in the 19th century to reduce fever, but its effects were not 100%. Flowers have astringent properties. They are used as a toner on the face or for minor injuries. Lutein in lilac petals can help reduce the likelihood of cataracts and can be effective in preventing macular degeneration. Lilac oil is used in aromatherapy to help with depression and anxiety.

Lilac is not only in cosmetics

Lilac oils are a reliable tool or aid in aromatherapy when it comes to migraines, headaches, anxiety, mild depression, gloomy thoughts, feelings of distress, and various blocks. The scent of lilac helps with all this.

Thanks to the intoxicatingly divine scent, lilac is widely used in the field of cosmetics. We make luxurious soaps, shower gels, soothing gels, softening shaving gels, and creams and we must not forget perfumes. Lilac perfumes are amazing and their unique scent is very memorable. A woman who uses such perfume makes a friendly impression on the surroundings. Its scent evokes in people a feeling of freshness, openness, sincerity, and exceptional sensuality. It also goes hand in hand with eroticizing and aphrodisiac effects.

You can use the anti-inflammatory and antipyretic lilac both externally and internally. Let’s look at its healing effects and possibilities specifically.

Use of lilac in the kitchen

If you think that edible lilac has nothing to do in the kitchen, you are wrong. You can decorate desserts, lemonades, summer desserts, and ice cream with small flowers. You can also combine the smell and specific taste of lilac with jams, cake fillings or to make puddings special. But if you work with lilacs in the kitchen, always let the flowers wither a little after collection. This will give the insect that has settled in the flowers enough time to leave.

You can also prepare tasty and healing tea from lilac, which helps with cough, swollen almonds, and diet. It is nothing more than water a handful of lilac flowers with boiling water. You let it brew for half an hour and that’s it. If you want to make tea this year, be sure to dry the lilac as well.

In the end, there is nothing complicated about preparing cooked or uncooked lilac syrup. The result is always a delicious mix that you can taste pancakes, homemade lemonade, cups, dough, and cocktails.

How to clean flowers

Lilac flowers must be cleaned before processing. Wash each bundle and remove dry or damaged petals. Then divide the flowers into smaller clusters and carefully separate them from the stem. One cup contains about 40-60 individual flowers.
