This universal natural medicine is able to suppress the vital activity of most pathogenic microorganisms and quickly heal from diseases associated with them. Even our distant ancestors were well aware of the unique healing properties of pomegranate peels and actively applied them in practice. How to continue this good tradition?
Mantle of the King of Fruits - Pomegranate Peels
The pomegranate is respectfully called the crown fruit - not only for its unusual shape, but also for its rich content. The whole pomegranate is useful: not only juicy grains are used, but also seeds, and even pomegranate peels - the mantle of the king of fruits.

Do nondescript pomegranate skins really help from something? And how! In ancient times, Eastern warriors treated battle wounds with a decoction of pomegranate peel: they soaked bandages with it, moistened it again and again as it dried - until the wound was completely healed. It helped.
Everything is useful in a pomegranate: grains, seeds, and peels The famous healers of antiquity paid tribute to the healing properties of pomegranate peel. Hippocrates himself mentioned modest pomegranate peels up to a hundred and fifty times in his healing treatises and strongly recommended their use to strengthen the intestines and heal even the most complex wounds.
The beautiful pomegranate flower also has healing properties. Composition and medicinal properties
Why are pomegranate clothes so useful, which most of us are accustomed to throwing into the bin as unnecessary? They are entrusted by nature with a very important mission - to protect the contents of the fetus from the adverse effects of external factors, primarily from hordes of microbes.
Pomegranate peels cope with this task successfully, because they have a unique composition that provides a reliable barrier against the penetration of destructive microorganisms. The composition of the dense peel includes the following components:
- catechins and tannins are tannins, almost a third of which is pomegranate peel;
- anthocyanins - natural phyto dyes;
- flavonoids, phenols and proanthocyanidins - antioxidants, which are twice as much in peels than in pomegranate seeds;
- isopeltierin, peltierin and methylisopeltierin are alkaloids that have a powerful antimicrobial and antihelminthic effect;
- ursolic and other organic acids useful for the body;
- ascorbic acid and other vitamins;
- iron, calcium, zinc, potassium, aluminum and other valuable elements.
Pomegranate peel is unique in its composition Such a reinforced team of natural ambulance has the following qualities that are valuable for the human body:
Pomegranate, as you know, is a southern, subtropical plant. And where there is heat and high humidity, the risk of infection with a wide variety of infections is always very high. So, local residents, in order to avoid infection, have been chewing pomegranate peels from time immemorial - this is a truly folk remedy.
Southerners have an ancient and very useful tradition - chewing pomegranate peels We prepare raw materials
In order to use the great natural power contained in the pomegranate peel, it is not at all necessary to chew it without ceasing. There are several easy-to-prepare and incredibly effective drugs that absolutely everyone can do. Try their effectiveness for yourself - and you will never again throw away peeled pomegranate skins.
Pomegranate peel - an affordable raw material for effective folk remedies How to choose and dry
Luxurious, ripe "royal fruits" are sold in supermarkets all year round, but you need to know that they are most useful only in autumn and winter. It is during this period that it is worth taking care of harvesting pomegranate peels - you will begin to be treated with them until the next season.
Choose only fresh, ripe, undamaged fruits. The crust on such fruits is bright, dense and shiny, and the pomegranates themselves (this is what the pomegranate mega-berry is called) are heavy and smooth, and not rough to the touch.
Choose only ripe and high-quality fruits for medicinal raw materials Inside the "crown" - in the place where the flower once was, there should not be any greenish tints: they indicate that the fruit was plucked immature. And, of course, there are no signs of rot, mold and mechanical damage on the peel - diseased fruits are not suitable for harvesting medicinal raw materials. When you have chosen a worthy fruit, be sure to wash it with warm water and wipe it dry; so you wash away chemical substances, with which the fruit may have been processed for better preservation. Now you can peel the pomegranate and dry its peel.
Rinse the pomegranate well under running water and only then clean it. Dry pomegranate peels in an electric dryer or naturally; in winter it is convenient to do it on the battery. The main thing is to spread the peel in a thin layer so that it does not deteriorate during the drying process. To achieve the desired result faster, the skins can be dried not entirely, but broken into small pieces. It is advisable to turn the peel daily while it dries.
Moisture tends to linger in dense pomegranate skins, so they can become moldy if not properly dried and stored. Such raw materials cannot be used categorically - they should be thrown away.
Pomegranate peels freed from grains must be thoroughly dried before storage. Well-dried peels should be stored in tightly sealed glass jars; shelf life - two years.

Pieces or powder
IN old recipes with pomegranate peels - and there are quite a few of them - it is recommended to dry the peel first, then grind, and only the resulting powder is already stored to be used later for brewing.
Yes, the return of useful properties in this case will happen faster and stronger. But here's the problem: these properties themselves remain less in ground crusts than in whole ones - when in contact with air, many valuable compounds are oxidized, destroyed, and can even transform into harmful ones.
If you prepare such a powder, then only immediately before brewing. Usually in traditional medicine they still use the peel, dried in pieces - this is a simple, reliable and effective option.
The peels should be thoroughly dried, and the powder from them should be prepared before use. Pomegranate peel preparations have a specific bitter-tart taste, so they can be sweetened with sugar or honey - especially when you offer this natural medicine to children. For better preservation of medicinal compounds, a little alcohol is sometimes added to ready-made decoctions and infusions - a tablespoon per 0.5 liters.
But it is still better not to procure these preparations for the future, but to brew them every time immediately before use, counting on no more than a daily dosage - fresh medicinal products operate more efficiently.
Recipes
Both fresh and dried pomegranate peels are equally useful, but it is more convenient to store dry peels and, of course, only the famous pomegranate powder can be made from it - as the basis for many medicinal preparations and as an independent remedy.

In August 1985, my family and I managed to fall under the cholera epidemic on the Sea of Azov, in a boarding house near the city of Berdyansk. With an aqueous infusion of pomegranate peels, I cured my family in 5 hours, my neighbors and revealed the recipe for treatment to doctors. Within one or two days the epidemic was over. But only in pioneer camps with a temperature of 40 degrees and loose stools 15-20 times a day lay 5,500 children, and medical drugs were ineffective. In addition, all boarding houses were filled with children. The Vibrio cholerae mutant "O-157 Bengal" (where the letter "O" means cholera) affected children under 18 years old, and adults were sick, but they could hardly stand it. There were reasons to believe that it was a bacteriological weapon.
10/11/2007: RECIPES OF G. I. DEEP
My article "How to get rid of HIV infection and AIDS and what it is" was published in the newspaper "Russky Vestnik", No. 17-18, 2007. It mentions a quick cure with water infusion of dry peels of the pomegranate fruit:
1. Cure in 5 hours from any strains of dysentery, salmonellosis, typhoid fever, cholera, acute appendicitis (no need for surgery).
2. Cure in one week from the following diseases: stomach ulcer, intestinal ulcer (small intestine), colitis - an inflammatory process in the large intestine, dysbacteriosis.
At the request of readers, I give a recipe for preparing an aqueous infusion of dry peels of the pomegranate fruit and its application.
The approximate weight ratio of dry pomegranate peels and boiling water is 1:20. Put about 10-12 g of dry pomegranate peels into a preheated cup, glass or glass jar and pour 200 ml of boiling water over them (you can pour 200 ml of raw water into this container, lower 10-12 g of pomegranate peels and bring to a boil with an electric boiler, but do not boil). Cover with a saucer or paper folded in 4 layers. Insist 25-30 minutes, and you can start drinking. Do not throw away the crusts, insisting continues. As soon as the peels were poured with boiling water, the treatment began, and for these 25-30 minutes of infusion, the container with pomegranate peels should be next to the one who is being treated.
The preparation of an aqueous infusion of dry pomegranate fruit peels for the treatment of all of these diseases is the same. Application is different.
I. To cure in 5 hours from 1) dysentery; 2) salmonellosis; 3) typhoid fever; 4) cholera; 5) acute appendicitis - use water infusion as follows:
1. After infusion for 25-30 minutes, drink about half the liquid (half a glass). Do not strain the infusion, insisting continues. And again cover with a saucer. If after 10 minutes after that you feel healthy, then there was a common indigestion (diarrhea) and it was completely cured. You can safely embark on any journey, because you will not have diarrhea and constipation.
2. If after 10 minutes you do not feel recovered, then you have either dysentery, or salmonellosis, or typhoid fever, or cholera. You need to stay at home and drink the remaining water infusion after 3 hours. The treatment process lasts 3 hours (with insisting 3.5 hours), and recovery occurs 5 hours after the start of treatment.
II. For a cure in 1 week from: 1) stomach ulcers; 2) intestinal ulcers (small intestine); 3) colitis (inflammatory process in the colon); 4) dysbacteriosis - use an aqueous infusion of dry peels of the pomegranate fruit as follows:
1. After insisting 25-30 minutes, start drinking. During the day, drink about half of the water infusion (90-100 ml) in 4 doses in approximately equal portions and at approximately equal intervals, i.e., approximately 20-25 ml per 1 dose. Drink on an empty stomach, with the 1st dose in the morning, after sleep, and the 4th dose at night, before bedtime.
2. Drink water infusion not every day of the week, but every other day, i.e. on days 1, 3, 5, 7 of the week - drink infusion, and on days 2, 4, 6 - do not drink infusion (rest from treatment).
3. This is enough for a complete cure. But if someone, for reinsurance, wants to continue treatment, for example, stomach ulcers, then you can repeat the weekly course of treatment no earlier than a week later.
4. During the treatment, do not filter the water infusion - the infusion continues.
5. In this treatment, alcohol is contraindicated, and especially contraindicated on the days of taking the water infusion.
6. The essence of the treatment is that in the entire gastrointestinal tract all pathogenic bacteria are constantly suppressed (healthy bacteria are not suppressed) and their locations are successfully colonized by healthy bacteria necessary for humans.
7. In addition to the above, it is known that Hippocrates treated cut and stab wounds with this water infusion. A clean (cotton) rag was applied to the wound, previously moistened in an aqueous infusion of dry peels of the pomegranate fruit. This cloth was constantly kept moist until the wound healed.
