Penny plant (red root) - useful properties
The penny (red root) was so named because of the pink-red color of the decoction from its root, which is what distinguishes this type of penny from others. The red root is widely used in folk medicine, with its help many diseases are treated, and tea from the red root is considered a real panacea.
The kopeck plant has a root that is more than 1.5 cm long and more than 10 cm thick. No other plant in Siberia has such a large root. By the way, the kopeck plant grows in northwestern Altai, in subalpine meadows, in the upper belt of the mountains. The flowers of this plant resemble moths, and the legumes resemble coins (hence the second version of the name of the penny).
