Gemmotherapy, commonly known as " bud medicine ", is part of phytotherapy. Since the Middle Ages, syrups have been made from flower or leaf buds, and their virtues are specific to each plant. The health benefits are now well known, but most gemmotherapy products are alcohol-based. Yet many consumers (including children) cannot tolerate alcohol. That's why alcohol-free products are available on the market.
The recipe differs only slightly from the original, which is based on a mixture of water, alcohol and glycerine. These are highly concentrated macerations of buds, often certified organic, in vegetable glycerine, making them suitable for everyone, especially children! As buds contain extremely active tissues, this is a highly effective solution, without the drawbacks of alcohol!
Buds are said to possess certain therapeutic properties superior to those of mature plants. As an embryo, it carries the plant's development potential, as if it were roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruit all in one. It also contains high concentrations of active elements such as hormones, trace elements, vitamins, minerals and so on. So it's safe to say that gemmotherapy is good for us, and alcohol-free too.
The major drawback of traditional gemmotherapy is the presence of alcohol, used as a solvent in glycerol macerates.
Alcohol-free gemmotherapy allows you to treat yourself with plant buds, while extending its scope to pregnant and/or breast-feeding women, the very young, people with alcohol intolerance, allergies or withdrawal, certain religious practices, and certain animal species.
Alcohol-free gemmotherapy is the result of maceration of fresh buds in a mixture of water, glycerine and alcohol. Alcohol is essential for extracting the active ingredients from buds and young shoots. To obtain an alcohol-free glycerol macerate, the mixture is heated to a temperature below 50°C, so that the alcohol can evaporate and the buds retain all their therapeutic virtues. In your online organic parapharmacy, you'll find the Aquagemm gemmotherapy range from Biogemm Laboratories, the only laboratory to offer a complete range of alcohol-free gemmotherapy products.
