Gemmotherapy is a tree-based healing practice based on the use of plant extracts from buds, young shoots of trees and shrubs. These buds are soaked in a mixture of water, alcohol and glycerin (sometimes honey or agave syrup). Plant buds are embryonic tissues in a phase of intense cell proliferation. They are rich in minerals, amino acids, trace elements, vitamins and growth factors, such as phytohormones (auxins, gibberellins), enzymes and mineral sap that the tree provides in the spring. In Gemmotherapy, buds are considered to concentrate the benefits of the plant and offer a plant richness, that is, all the active compounds of the plant.
The benefits of Gemmotherapy:
The buds are very rich in trace elements and minerals and contain a concentration of carbohydrates, vitamins, amino acids and growth hormones. They consist of stem cells capable of regenerating the plant depending on the circumstances.
It helps with:
Organ regeneration.
Detoxification of organs and cells.
Improved vitality.
Anti-aging.
The plant organs used in Gemmotherapy are in a growth phase (buds, young shoots). This is why Gemmotherapy is said to be regenerative, as the regenerative potential of tissues is specific to buds and young shoots.
