In the old days, healers used to say that Veselka mushroom is the best cure for many diseases. They recommended using it every year for one month as a prophylactic, assuring that after that there would be no he alth problems, and men would retain their strength until old age.

For a long time, Veselka mushroom was listed in reference books only as a harmful toadstool. Therefore, peaceful forest gatherers of useful plants, seeing him somewhere in a clearing, furiously trampled down so that his family would not spread further through the forest.

Indeed, the Veselka mushroom is not very pleasant to look at and feel. In a mature, opened form, it resembles a male phallus, which in a day will be covered with fetid mucus and disappear from the face of the earth. It grows from a large "egg" covered with wrinkled skin, which is very reminiscent of the male scrotum, and not only in appearance. If you take it in your hand, it is surprising that to the touch it resembles living human flesh. Veselka mushroom really has strong narcotic properties and contains poisonous substances.

It grows inshrubs, in hazel and in the forest among tall grass. Popular rumor has made him a mythical celebrity, like a fern flower. True, the difference lies in the fact that you do not need to look for it. In a rainy summer, he breaks through the ground with the first warm days, and you can find his family right up to the first frost. It cannot be used for food. To use its healing power, you need the experience of ancient healers. They know what time Veselka mushroom is most useful. The preparation of infusions and extracts is done according to secret recipes.

First of all, you should only go into the forest after it in wet weather. In dry years, the Veselka mushroom does not grow at all. Photos show its features well. It is stored poorly, so it is better to collect it in a glass jar in which you are going to prepare the potion. Many recipes recommend pouring veselka with alcohol or vodka. When you do this, the long mushrooms will quickly float up, as if trying to jump out of this nasty liquid.

The author of this article used sunflower oil as a medium for leaching useful products. Mushrooms were collected in a clean half-liter jar back in the forest. At home, fresh, market-bought vegetable oil was added up to the very neck. After shaking the contents so that there is no air left in it, the jar must be closed with a lid, placed in a black paper bag to protect from solar radiation (the oil oxidizes in the light) and put on a window facing south for two weeks to ripen. You can put a jarwith veselka, filled with oil, in the refrigerator. But then the leaching period of useful substances must be extended by a month. Next, it will be necessary to strain the contents, pour the liquid phase into a clean bottle, stick a label. Veselka medicine is ready.

Literature recommends using infusions to treat cancer and any other diseases by mouth. However, such self-medication is dangerous, and it should not be used without the recommendation of the attending physician. Personally, with this oil infusion, I was cured of a fungus on my leg, which no pharmacy preparations helped to get rid of, as well as herpes. At the same time, I used it only externally, lubricating the skin once a day at night. She was treated for no more than ten days.
