Jerusalem thorn, Christ's thorn Seeds (Paliurus spina-christi)

Price for Package of 10 seeds.

Paliurus spina-christi, commonly known as Jerusalem thorngarland thornChrist's thorn, or crown of thorns, is a species of Paliurus native to the Mediterranean region and southwest and central Asia, from Morocco and Spain east to Iran and Tajikistan.

Description

It is a deciduous shrub or small tree growing to 3–4 m tall. The shoots are zig-zagged, with a leaf and two stipular spines (one straight, one curved) on the outside of each kink. The leaves are oval, 2–5 cm long and 1–4 cm broad, glossy green, with an entire margin. The fruit is a dry woody nutlet centered in a circular wing 2–3.5 cm diameter.

Etymology

As suggested by the Latin name and by an ancient oral tradition[clarification needed], the spiny branches of this shrub were supposedly used to make the crown of thorns placed on Christ's head before his crucifixion. Ziziphus spina-christi, the Christ's thorn jujube, is also identified as being used for the crown of thorns.

Use

It is viewed as an ornamental curiosity and is cultivated in some areas, spreading its range, including Fiji.

As a medicinal herb (medicinal plant), the fruit of the bush is used, which contains alkaloids and tannins and is mostly appreciated for its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic, antispasmodic, expectorant, astringent and diuretic abilities.

Galen recommended it for bladder stones. The decoction of dried fruit (1 tablespoon / 500ml water, boil for 10 minutes and strain) is consumed for cough, asthma, diarrhea, hypertension, cleansing the blood of inflammation. Combines perfectly with common flaxseed (Linum), linden (Tília cordáta), prímula véris, Plantágo major, Salvia officinalis, Malva sylvestris and asthma acute) bronchitis. It is thought to have a laxative effect on the large intestine while fighting deforming arthritis - which is why it is often consumed by the elderly. Externally it seems to help especially in the treatment of eczema foci thanks to its anti-inflammatory action.

Note: The above presentation of the plant is by no means a recipe. Expert advice is considered necessary before using the plant.
