Sagaan Dali, Sagan Dali (translated from Buryat as “White Wing”) is a plant that has been attributed healing and even magical properties for many millennia. The herb “Sagan Dali” (or “Sagan Dailya”) has a powerful energy-stimulating effect, relieves fatigue, increases immunity, improves metabolism. This plant is especially appreciated in China, Tibet, Buryatia.
In ancient legends, this plant helped a person to gain “wings” and forget about diseases. In Siberia, Altai, Mongolia and Tibet, there are legends about its effect on the body: Tibetan sages claim that the decoction of sagan-dail prolongs life, and in Buryatia this tea is traditionally drunk by shamans.
In the treatise on Tibetan medicine “Dzeytshar Migchan”, written by the Mongolian researcher and physician Zhambaldorzhi, sagan-daylya is referred to as “da-li”. In the XVIII century, the German physician and botanist Johann Georg Gmelin, who traveled to Siberia as part of the Second Kamchatka Expedition of 1733-1743, wrote about the evergreen bush. Later he published a manual “Flora of Siberia” in 8 volumes with his own drawings, including a drawing of a sagan-dail flower.
The scientific name of this plant is Adams rhododendron, in honor of the famous naturalist, zoologist and botanist Mikhail Ivanovich (Johann Mikhail Friedrich) Adams, who first described many plants of Eastern Siberia. He presented his report on the rhododendron at the Moscow Society of Naturalists after returning from the Siberian expedition.
Useful properties of sagan-dayl
Russian scientists investigated the chemical composition of Adams rhododendron in 2006-2014. Botanists and chemists have studied the effect of sagan-dayl on the body, the strength of its stimulating effect, as well as the antimicrobial and actoprotective effect of the plant.
The composition of Sagan-dayl
- Flavonoids
The leaves and stems of sagan-dayl contain tannins – flavonoids: quercetin, rutin, dihydroquercetin, myricetin.
Quercetin has a strong anti-inflammatory effect. Rutin strengthens the walls of capillaries, is one of the substances responsible for the youth of cells. Dihydroquercetin is used to treat allergies. Myricetin slows down aging and is a popular component of anti-age cosmetics.
- Fatty acids
Linolenic, oleic, ursolic, oleanolic fatty acids are involved in the metabolic process. In addition, they protect cells from the effects of pathogenic bacteria and viruses.
- Inositol
Inositol (more precisely, myo-inositol, or vitamin B8) is a vitamin–like substance. Scientists have proved that inositol is responsible for concentration, memorization and visual acuity, improves the transmission of nerve impulses. And it is inositol that is responsible for the toning effect of sagan-dale.
- Vitamin C
The leaves of sagan-dayl contain a lot of ascorbic acid, which is why the plant has antioxidant properties. Vitamin C is also involved in collagen synthesis and helps neutralize free radicals.
Few people know, but it is these properties of the medicinal plant that were taken as a basis and put into the name of the Moscow clinic of oriental medicine “Sagan Dali”.
The main task of oriental medicine is not to treat the symptoms of the disease, but to find its cause and eliminate it with the help of an integrated approach, soft and absolutely safe methods of treatment. Restore energy balance and start self-healing mechanisms.
Oriental medicine considers the human body in relation to the surrounding world. Recovery is the achievement of a balance between all systems of the human body.
The main difference from the Western one is an integrated approach with attention not only to the symptoms of the disease, but also to the peculiarities of the patient’s body, his lifestyle. Therefore, Eastern traditional methods of treatment cope better with chronic and systemic diseases. No wonder they say: “In the West, a disease is treated, and in the East, a person is treated.”
A wise way of complex self-healing of the body, using absolutely safe, soft and guaranteed effective ancient oriental techniques in combination with the latest achievements of Western medicine.
For example, the Sagan Dali clinic presents such schools of oriental medicine as:
• Korean
• Tibetan
• Chinese
All three components equally bring their own approach to human treatment, but observe the single principle of the Eastern concept — an indivisible holistic approach to the body.
Over the years of practice, doctors of the Sagan Dali clinic have developed entire complexes aimed not only at treating specific diseases, but also at maintaining health, beauty and youth.
