Snake fat

We think many people know that in folk medicine they have long used not only plant, but also animal raw materials. It is worth noting that the use of various parts of animals, as well as their fat, is considered a characteristic feature of Eastern or Asian folk medicine. However, in our latitudes, various types of animal fats have also been used as medicines for centuries, including such a rather exotic type of product as snake fat.

No matter how unsurprising it may be, snake fat also refers to animal fats according to the scientific classification. In fact, animal fats mean natural fatty substances that are located in connective and subcutaneous tissues, as well as bones of vertebrate animals, including birds, fish, as well as reptiles, to which snakes belong. Snake fat is obtained from various species of reptiles.

What is interesting about the beneficial properties of snake fat directly depends on the species belonging to the snake. Even more uniquely, the medicinal properties of snake fat are higher in a product that has been derived from the most dangerous and poisonous reptile species. The benefit of snake fat was first discovered by the inhabitants of China. Until now, the benefits of snake fat are actively used in recipes for traditional Chinese medicine.

As a result of scientific research, it was revealed that snake fat differs from other animal fats in a wide therapeutic spectrum of effects on the human body. Snake fat has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antiseptic, as well as emollient and antibacterial effects.

Moreover, this is not an exhaustive list of the unique properties of snake oil, which allow you to find a fairly wide application of the product for medical and cosmetic purposes. It is worth noting that snake fat is more often used in medicine and cosmetology than in cooking. This is primarily due to the high cost and exclusivity of the product. However, snake fat is used as a product of the therapeutic nutrition menu for some types of diseases.

Snake fat helps stimulate metabolic processes. The uniqueness of the chemical composition of snake fat is that the product is enriched with fatty acids that are not synthesized in the human body. This means that regular use of snake fat helps to replenish the balance of essential fatty acids in the human body.

Researchers believe snake fat is indispensable for injuries related to sprains and bruises. In addition, snake fat is used in the treatment of burns. It is especially worth emphasizing that snake fat is classified as hippoallergenic foods, which, moreover, do not have contraindications.
