1. Introduction
Gemmotherapy, also known as phytoembryotherapy, is a modern homeopathic method of biotherapeutic drainage using the extracts of various trees and shrubs. The raw material of the buds, emerging shoots, seeds, rootlets and sap is taken at the peak time of the plant’s annual germination.
2. Materials and Methods
Plants are harvested in the spring, throughout the period of cellular division and plant growth. During this stage they contain the highest concentration of active growth factor hormones, auxins and gibberellins. These specific hormonal agents contain valuable informative matter required for the drainage of various organs and tissues at the cellular level.
3. Results
In order to extract the embryonic substance from the fresh buds, the complex remedies are macerated for increased patient compliance.
Gemmotherapy is very popular in European countries such as France, Belgium, Italy and Germany, as well as in some areas of Eastern Europe.
4. Conclusions
It works great for skin conditions, seasonal allergies, chronic ENTs, asthma, UTIs, migraines, digestive disturbances, sleep difficulties, menstrual irregularities, fertility issues, high blood pressure and many more.
