One of the advantages of homeopathic remedies is their natural origin. In fact, they are made from plant, animal and mineral extracts. As for Bovista gigantea, it comes from the mushroom Calvatia gigantea or Giant puffball.
Bovista gigantea is a homeopathic remedy made from a fungus called Calvatia gigantea or Bovista gigantea (hence the name of the product). It is a rare mushroom that especially grows in meadows and is widely used as a form of treatment, particularly in the form of granules. They are more effective when they are left to dissolve under the tongue. This remedy can be used alone or in combination with other homoeopathic remedies to treat numerous disorders.
