The Legacy of the Fig Tree

The fig tree, known by its scientific name Ficus carica, is a fruit tree with roots in the Mediterranean basin and Central Asia. It is remarkable not only for its succulent fruit but also for its buds, which are transformed into a glycerin macerate that offers health benefits.

Botanical Profile of the Fig Tree

The fig tree is generally a small tree measuring between three and four meters. Under optimal conditions, however, some can reach a height of 8 meters. With a twisted trunk, this bushy tree is distinguished by the irritating white latex present in its leaves, twigs, and fruit. The rough leaves, which can grow up to 25 cm in length, have a deeply divided, palmatilobate blade. As for the fruit, figs come in various shades depending on the variety, ranging from greenish to dark purple.

The Power of Glycerin Macerate

Through a maceration process in an alcohol-glycerin mixture, fresh fig tree buds yield a precious liquid known as the mother macerate. Once filtered and diluted, this liquid becomes glycerin macerate 1D or MG 1D, a concentrate rich in health benefits. Notably, these are prepared as Hahnemannian dilutions to the first decimal (1 DH), with a few exceptions.
