Mineral substances as a component of the chemical composition of medicinal plants complement and enhance their therapeutic effect on the body. Balance of macro- and microelements in the plant is formed as a result of complex mechanisms for the concentration and accumulation of these substances that are influenced by different factors, including the species-specificity of the plants. Chromatography-mass spectroscopy established the elemental composition of lady’s thumb (Polygonum persicaria) and water piper (Polygonum hydropiper) herb gathered in the suburbs of Voronezh. A difference was found in the composition of these plants and soil from their habitat; the biological absorption coefficients for the substances in the plants were calculated.
