The best period for collecting the root of the calamus is the autumn season - September and October. At a time when the water is moving away from the coast and lowering its level in the reservoirs, before the frost begins, the root lends itself to easy extraction from the ground with the help of a shovel, forks or rake.       

After collecting the necessary amount of rhizomes, they should be cleared of silt and mud, and subsequently divided into thick pieces, cutting along the root. After doing all this, the root of the marsh aura is dried with a thin layer disintegrated in a room that is well ventilated, or it uses furnaces and dryers that maintain a temperature of 30 to 35 degrees Celsius. It is very important to maintain this level, because if it is exceeded, volatilization of essential oils contained in the root occurs, and this reduces the value of the harvested raw materials.

Reviews

About a year ago noticed that somehow I had a lot of hair falling out. Immediately I scored an alarm, and immediately went to see a trichologist. Because the hair crawled straight in whole shreds, this has never happened before. I was terrified that I could remain bald. Trichologist ordered all sorts of vitamins, prescribed darsonval and Vichi ampoules from falling out. Has spent a lot of money and nerves, but hair continued to drop out further. Benefits of all this turned out to be practically none. I started looking for all sorts of alternative means. After all, somehow the antiquity was fought with this, when there were not all these modern expensive chemicals. Googled and stumbled upon the reviews of the ayr marsh. I seized this straw. It's fantastic! The result is literally instantaneous. After the second washing of hair with a rinse as indicated in the hair recipe on the comb, it remained much less. After a month of applying ayr marsh, it now seems to me that the hair does not fall out at all! Even if they are pulled hard with a rectifier. Now I'm 100% satisfied with my hair.       

Decided to quit smoking, and began to search the Internet for advice and alternative tools that can help. I found feedback that it helps to cope with the craving for smoking. Has started to drink tincture. And something strange has happened since then: when I smoke, it starts to puke. And how she stopped taking it, again the unbearable desire to smoke appears. And such nonsense is constant. What to do, how to be, just can not imagine ...     

Many times I met positive feedback about the marshland. The root should be chewed to strengthen the gums. It is a good preventive tool that keeps teeth from breaking down. And it very well helps to sooth toothache. Also in the cold season, when the flu is raging and all kinds of cold epidemics, so as not to get sick, it is recommended to chew the root up to 3 times a day.
