12 December - National Ambrosia Day in USA
One of the most well-known weeds is ragweed. It is known not only for its widespread distribution, but also for its effect on humans. A huge number of people suffer allergic reactions during the flowering of this weed.
Ambrosia fruit salad is said to have originated in Vermont around the late 19th century. Today, ambrosia is usually served as a dessert or a side dish. This fruit-sweetened snack will not only satisfy a sweet tooth, but will also provide healthy antioxidants.
What happens if a human eats ambrosia? In the ancient Greek myths, ambrosia, the food or drink of the Greek gods, is often depicted as conferring longevity or immortality upon whoever consumed it.
The word “ambrosia” means delicious or fragrant. Ambrosia was also the magical fruit of the gods in ancient Greek mythology. The gods on Mount Olympus ate ambrosia to maintain immortality and without it, they became weak. In Homer's Iliad, the gods bathed in ambrosia and used it as perfume.
The medicinal properties of ragweed are provided by its composition. Thus, it contains essential oils, biologically active substances, trace elements, vitamins, which help maintain the body and fight with various diseases. But only the polynolly species is used in the treatment.
