More details
Flowers are among the most delicate and powerful parts of medicinal plants. As the reproductive organ and interface between the plant and its environment, they concentrate a wide variety of volatile or water-soluble active ingredients, often involved in defense, communication and attraction mechanisms. Their biochemical richness and subtlety of action make them a leading therapeutic tool in traditional medicine and modern herbalism.
Used since Antiquity in the form of herbal teas, infusions, glycerine macerates, oils or powders, medicinal flowers are renowned for their soothing, digestive, circulatory, sedative or anti-inflammatory effects. They also form the basis of certain galenic forms such as flower elixirs, floral waters and solar macerates, for both external and internal use.
Flowers contain a wide variety of secondary metabolites, sometimes in more concentrated quantities than in other parts of the plant. Their role in plant reproduction implies a particular wealth of attractive, protective and aromatic substances.
