There are many ways to disinfect water. But our ancestors also used this way - with the help of red rowan.
Rowan is rich in antibacterial and tannins, as well as all kinds of trace elements and essential oils.
It contains many vitamins, including vitamins P and C, provitamin A (carotene), and pectins, which suppress gas formation in the intestines, preventing excessive fermentation of carbohydrates.
But mountain ash is especially valuable in natural conditions, when it is required to quickly and effectively purify water that is not suitable for drinking.
This plant contains acids, due to the action of which the growth of microorganisms, fungi and mold is inhibited.
It is no coincidence that our great-grandfathers, when fermenting cabbage in barrels (or when soaking apples), always put a sprig of mountain ash, then the cabbage was stored for a very long time.
The antimicrobial properties of mountain ash were first adopted by hunters, who often replenished water supplies from rivers, ponds and other sometimes unsightly water sources.
In a container with water, they put a sprig of red rowan with leaves and berries. After a couple of hours, even musty water became drinkable.
Scientific literature data indicate a pronounced antimicrobial effect of biologically active substances isolated from rowan fruits.
Experimental studies have established that ascorbic and paracorbic acids isolated from rowan fruits have the ability to inhibit the growth of certain microorganisms, fungi and mold.
Parasorbic acid, found in rowan juice, has antimicrobial activity, it inhibits the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, and exhibits teratogenic effects against some viruses.
Sorbic acid also has a pronounced antimicrobial effect. Possessing a selective effect, this compound has the ability to simultaneously suppress pathogenic microorganisms.
Therefore, if you found a source of water on a hike, but doubt its suitability, do not be too lazy to look around for a red rowan tree.
Among other things, mountain ash will saturate the water with its useful vitamins, amino acids and minerals. Rowan is very useful, it's not for nothing that birds love it so much. Especially after frost, when bitterness disappears in it.
Rowan grows, as a rule, everywhere, and it will not be difficult to find it in our climatic zone.
