Gemmotherapy
If you are a patient of the clinic you"ll know that I love to use gemmotherapy. It"s highly effective and its uses are wide ranging.
Gemmotherapy uses extracts of buds, young shoots, sprouts, rootlets or inner bark instead of parts of grown, mature plants. Created first in Belgium by Dr. Pol Henry, gemmotherapy was popularized in France and the rest of Europe by homeopaths. Initially referred to as phytoembryotherapy, this treatment was later renamed gemmotherapy, meaning "bud therapy." The principle of gemmotherapy is based on the premise that plant buds contain all of the enzymatic energy needed to develop into full grown plants and trees. Dr. Henrey called this enzymatic energy “potential biologic energy”, which makes the remedies extremely potent in their effects on the body and organ systems. Of all the remedies in the clinic dispensary gemmotherapies are among the most potent.
Each remedy has specific properties and actions. For example, Rosmarinus officinales (rosemary) is a choleretic and protects against toxicity on the liver cells. Crataegus (hawthorne) combines the medicinal activity of the fruit (supportive for heart muscle) and the flower (effective to modulate heart rate) for cardiovascular problems.
The main goal of gemmotherapy is cellular detoxification and drainage. Healing starts at the cellular level and healing cannot occur when cellular functions are blocked due to toxins. Gemmotherapies also stimulate the proper functioning of the organs by allowing them to remove their toxic load.
Gemmotherapy is an excellent stand-alone therapy or can work synergistically with other natural therapies, especially biotherapeutic drainage.
