The used varieties include damson plum, kobylytsia, margita and cherry plum.

Local hosts point out that consuming organic and natural products is the key to health and longevity. It is also said that slyvovytsia is a remedy for all illnesses: small portions of slyvovytsia are beneficial for the digestive system, the tinctures on medicinal plants (marigold, St. John’s wort, thyme, elderberry, walnut) are useful for arrhythmia and dental problems, while compresses made of slyvovytsia will be excellent for arthritis pain relief.
