„Skvělé protizánětlivé účinky, používám do smooti i do jogurtů a jako teplý nápoj s medem jakmile na mě leze nějaký moribundus, pak nemá šanci. “

History
Uncaria is one of the most famous creeping plants found in the Peruvian
Andes. Depending on the effects found, Uncaria has become an integral part of
traditional Peruvian medicine, which for 2,000 years has played an important
role in solving various ailments, not only among indigenous tribes. According to
Indian tradition, this powerful plant was even considered the „sacred plant of
the Incas“. In the past, Uncaria bark was mainly used by the indigenous
population, which did not mean such a great loss for the rainforest. Over time,
however, the demand for this plant has multiplied significantly due to its
observed effects. Nevertheless, the Peruvian government intervened early on and
imposed annual limits. The limits set regulate the extraction of Uncaria and
thus prevent its extinction.
Origin and cultivation
Uncaria originates in Peru, specifically in the Peruvian Andes. It can be
found in the local rainforests because it grows exclusively in soil rich in
organic nutrients and requires relatively high humidity. Green rainforests full
of swamps and diverse vegetation are simply indispensable for this climbing
plant. Uncaria cannot be grown in the field or in a greenhouse, which is why it
is so rare. It is a woody climbing liana with visible woody spines or
„claws“ on its stem. The plant uses its claws to grip the trunks of trees it
climbs, without causing any harm to them. The individual spines resemble cat
claws in appearance and function. Thus, Uncaria is often referred to as
cat's claw. It can grow up to 30 m in length over decades. Its bark, from
which the resulting powder is obtained, is especially valued for its beneficial
effects.
Ingredients and properties
The uniqueness of Vilcacora lies in its exceptional composition. Uncaria is
an important source of a wide range of phytochemicals, which are contained in
the bark of this plant. Vilcacora is made from the outer part of the bark.
Use
It is a fine brown powder that is only partially soluble in water. The daily
recommended dose of Vilcacora powder is 9–11 g (1 tbsp). A spoonful of
Vilcacora can be mixed in water, milk, smoothies or various fruit juices. You
can also add it to breakfast porridge, cereals or other dishes.
Recommended dosage
Stir 1 tablespoon (9–11 grams) daily in water, juice, milk, porridge,
smoothies, cereal or other foods. Daily intake of the Uncaria tomentosa:
9–11 g.

Vilcacora (CAT'S CLAW)

O persoană apropiată are artrită autoimună şi un naturopat i-a
recomandat Gheara mâţii. M-am bucurat s-o găsesc aici. Mulţumesc BEWIT
pentru Vilcacora (CAT'S CLAW)! Este destul de amară, poate e bună
o variantă sub formă de capsule, deşi eu prefer să văd planta. Pentru
mine, amăreala e şi stimulet hepatic.
Ja som Vilcacoru použila do kváskového chlebíka a za nás OK. Aj napriek
horkej chuti, sa chuť chleba nezmenila. Odporúčam využiť Vilcacoru aj
takýmto spôsobom.
Minulý rok mi pomohla vilcacora prášok na bolesti v členku.
Pravdepodobne som to prehnala pri cvičení a rýchlej chôdze na dovolenke.
Dávala som si ju do bieleho kokosového jogurtu spolu so sušenou trstinovou
šťavou Bewit. Teraz znovu začínam s vilcacorou jarnú očistnú kúru.
Verím jej liečivým účinkom aj teraz. Nedávno som však čítala, že
vilcacora sa nedoporučuje užívať ženám snažiacim sa otehotnieť a ani
dokonca ženám v plodnom veku. Bolo by možno dobré to preskúmať a
prípadne pridať do popisu upozornenie ženám, ktoré nie sú tehotné, ale
plánujú otehotnieť. Zdroj uvádzal, že to môže mať antikoncepčný
účinok aj 3 roky. V popise sa totiž tento fakt nespomína, len deti do
3 rokov, tehotné a dojčiace deti.
BEWIT Vilcacora (CAT'S CLAW). Vďaka užívaniu ako je odporúčané som
vyprevadila s ľahším procesom všetko čo malo odísť z telíčka.
😉🙏😇💕 Ráno med a Protect B 2kv. a večer ako cítim ). Do difka čo
sa pýtalo: bodyguard, copaiba, kadidlo, levanduľa, citrón, eukalyptus, céder
aj na ľadviny – do dlani a priložila na oblasť ladvin na podporu ..”
..cítiš ,niet čo riešiť “ 🙏💕😇
Tento produkt mi byl doporučen kvůli detoxikaci organismu. Na základě
své zkušenosti bych si příště pořídila nejprve menší balení a začala
opravdu s velmi malými dávkami, ideálně ve smoothie. Moje první zkušenost
nebyla úplně pozitivní – tělo na něj nereagovalo dobře. Rozhodla jsem
se ale dát mu druhou šanci. Nyní si ho pravidelně přidávám do smoothie a
k doporučené denní dávce se přibližuji pozvolna, krůček po krůčku.
Cítím se lehčeji a nemám takové problémy s trávením jako dřív
Vilcacora prý dokáže zmírnit následky špatné skladby stravy. Tak to se
bude po vánocích hodit. Také snižuje záněty v těle ,což se může hodit
lidem s revmatoidní artritidou. Já přidávám Vilcacoru ráno do jogurtu
.Má lehce hořkou chuť ,ale když jogurt ochutíte třeba třtinovou šťávou
od Bewit, tak se z jogurtu stane dobrota. Doporučuji.
Kdysi jsem četla na internetu zajímavé články o Kočičím drápu a
jeho mnohých příznivých účincích. Víte, že této rostliny existuje cca
20 druhů, ale jen 2 jsou silně léčivé. Liší se tvarem svých
drápů – viz obrázky. Jednoho dne jsem si všimla, že ho máme
i v e-shopu Bewitu, tak jsem si ho objednala. Hned jak balíček dorazil jsem
Vilcacoru použila. Právě jsem vyráběla u nás oblíbenou pomazánku
z tvarohu, česneku, Spiruliny, rakytníkového oleje a soli, a „vrazila“
jsem do ní (jako Dobromila Rettigová), i 2 vrchovaté kávové lžičky
naší Vilcacory. Vůbec mě v tom tvořivém zápalu nenapadlo ochutnat ten
prášek předem. Důkladně vše promíchám, olíznu lžičku od onoho v mé
kuchyni nového produktu a zkoprněla jsem! Silná hořkost mi zkřivila ústa.
To nebude nikdo jíst! Pomyslela jsem si. Ale přece to nevyhodím – dala
jsem tam samé zdravé věci!. Misku s pomazánkou jsem uložila do ledničky,
a minimálně 2 hodiny sbírala odvahu k ochutnání mého díla. K večeru
už byla má zvědavost silnější, než obavy, tak jsem si udělala
v topinkovači toust a namazala ho vrstvou oné pomazánky. A světe div se,
přesto, že byla hořká, chutnala mi. Vzpomněla jsem si na staré úsloví,
které říká, že „co je hořké, to je zdravé“. Namotivovala jsem tím
i syna a pomazánka sklidila úspěch! Ona ta hořkost už nebyla tak silná a
dokonce dala pomazánce zajímavou chuť. Všechno jsme snědli. Příště dám
o něco méně Kočičího drápu a bude ještě lahodnější. Od té doby
jsem Vilcacoru použila i do snídaňové ovesné kaše s brusinkami a
medem – tentokrát v rozumnějším množství, a opět mi chutnala.
I v nápojích je ta mírná hořkost zajímavá. Vždyť Fernet,
Becherovka… také mnohým chutná (jako že humor). Tak se toho drápu nebojte
a zkuste ho také. Jen dejte pozor na množství a možné kontraindikace (viz.
popis u produktu). My v mojí rodině ho můžeme všichni bez problémů a
rádi používat i nadále. Vždyť je to pro zdraví.
