"The Forked Thorn" is a plant that thrives in shaded forest and moorland areas. It is an evergreen plant with intriguing names in folk language such as bear claw, morzybab, St. John's belt, or wanderer. In folk medicine, this plant has been used as a remedy for various ailments. However, are there any contraindications or potential side effects associated with consuming this plant?
It's a wild goose
The bear falcon is an evergreen but dark-green plant that can be found growing in natural conditions in exposed areas in the northern highlands and on the edges of forests over 600 metres above the ground. When exposed to sunlight it dies. The beard falcon resembles the appearance of a traditional forest falcon. The anatomical feature that distinguishes it from forest fungi is the presence of yellow fungi in the end of pests and troubles.
Loss of muscle is a side effect
Like any herb, even a bear's fork is not an ideal plant. The entire fork of a fork contains the following alkaloids: lycopodine, clawatin, klavotoxin, which have a toxic effect, or lipodine has a vomiting effect. Forced vomiting can cause severe dehydration and disorders in most of the electrolytes found in the cellular fluids.
