Beaver Musk Concentrate (750 g) Solution

Composition

Each 750 g bottle contains high-purity Castoreum—a natural extract derived from the castor sacs of the North American or Eurasian beaver. The concentrate is prepared by dilution in medical-grade alcohol to preserve its bioactive properties. No synthetic additives or preservatives are included.

Description

Beaver Musk, known as castoreum, has been historically used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, analgesic, and immunostimulatory effects. This oily, aromatic solution is amber to dark brown in color and carries a strong, musky scent, which is an indicator of its potency. Its application spans both oral and topical usage depending on therapeutic goals.

Indications

• Supportive therapy for chronic inflammation and musculoskeletal pain (e.g., arthritis, rheumatism).
• Management of bronchial conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, and persistent cough.
• Relief of neurological symptoms such as neuralgia, fatigue, or functional tremors.
• Topical application for dermatological issues like eczema, dry skin, and minor wounds.
• Enhancement of immune response during prolonged convalescence or immune suppression.
