A small handful of lingonberries replaces the daily dose of vitamins, – say doctors. This is because these berries contain vitamins of several groups at once: A, B, E and C. In addition, they are rich in potassium, manganese, iron and magnesium. It is not for nothing that lingonberries have long been called the “berry of immortality”.
Lingonberry juice reduces the temperature during colds and helps with headaches.
Medicinal decoctions of lingonberry leaves have anti-inflammatory, astringent, soothing, tonic and wound-healing properties.
Infusion of lingonberry leaves is used as a diuretic for kidney and liver diseases.
