What are antlers
First of all, let’s define what antlers are.
In Siberia and Altai, there are entire maral breeding farms engaged in breeding marals – the largest subspecies of red deer. It is these beautiful animals that most often give a person antlers – not yet ossified horns, covered with a light down. Their young deer are discarded during maturation. This is what happens in the wild. And on farms, the horns are carefully cut at the right time, without harming the pets.
Since the end of the 18th century, antler reindeer breeding has been one of the most profitable agricultural businesses in Altai. But in the countries of Southeast Asia, deer antlers have been used in folk medicine for two thousand years. Antlers are believed to be a great way to prolong life and preserve health.
Also valuable medicinal raw materials are obtained:
- near red deer;
- in the north;
- and sika deer.
Useful Properties
By the way, deer antlers are recognized as curative by traditional medicine. On their basis, such pharmaceutical preparations as “Pantokrin” and “Pantogematogen” are produced.
After grinding, they are added to herbal balms, alcohol tinctures, honey infusions. Used in concentrated form for baths.
This is a valuable source:
- micro and macro elements (magnesium, iron, potassium, calcium, sodium, and others);

- protein compounds, including neuropeptides, and fats;

To enhance the healing properties, powdered deer antlers are poured with Altai honey collected in ecologically clean mountainous regions.

How to cook and save
You can use any kind of honey product, for example, flower May. And then apply it for medicinal purposes by adding a small amount of chopped antler.
The proportion is as follows:
- 280-300 grams of liquid honey;
- 15-20 grams of powder from young deer horns.
The same amount of the finished product will cost about 1-600 rubles on the market.
The mixture is stored for no longer than two years at low temperatures in a dark place. Better if it is a temperature regime from +10 to +12 degrees.
How to use
The usual dosage is one teaspoon in the morning on an empty stomach… The course is 3-4 weeks. After a two-week break, you can repeat it.
Another way to take for adults as a dietary supplement is a source of glucosamine: 6 grams (no top teaspoon) three times a day half an hour before meals for three weeks… Effective for strengthening joints and ligaments, relieving pain when they are damaged or inflamed.
But keep in mind that this folk remedy has contraindications.
It is also undesirable to seize it and drink it with water. Hold the honey in your mouth, slowly dissolving it. This speeds up and simplifies the absorption of the food supplement by the body. And only after 15-20 minutes you can drink tea or have a full breakfast.
Important! Pieces of antler must be chewed thoroughly. They taste like pressed wood.
