Gemmotherapy is a natural, complementary medicine derived from herbal medicine that uses the buds and young shoots of trees and shrubs. Bud macerates are produced by macerating fresh buds harvested in the spring—at a key point in their natural development cycle—in a mixture of water, alcohol, and glycerin. The resulting bud extracts are called glycerin macerates.
The use of plant buds dates back to the Middle Ages, when alchemists prepared ointments and syrups to treat respiratory ailments.
However, it was not until 1970 that gemmotherapy officially appeared in the pharmacopoeia, thanks to the publication of the work of Belgian physician Pol Henry. In fact, he was the first to hypothesize that plant embryonic tissues must contain all the informational energy necessary for the development of trees. He called this discovery “phytembryotherapy.”
The first bud extract he studied was that of the downy birch (Betula pubescens).
Buds and young shoots contain all the power of the future plant. In fact, they constitute the plant’s entire genetic makeup, endowing them with all of the plant’s properties. In phytotherapy, the totality of the plant’s active and beneficial molecules constitutes the “totum.” For example, linden glycerin macerate possesses the sedative properties of its flowers and the purifying qualities of the sapwood.
Plant embryonic tissues are incredibly rich in nutrients: growth hormones, vitamins, minerals, trace elements...

Gemmotherapy is a natural therapy that can be used safely at any age. It has a wide range of applications, addressing numerous therapeutic conditions. Did you know, for example, that it’s possible to combat cellulite with gemmotherapy?
Extracts from buds and young shoots are primarily available in two types of gemmotherapy products:
To achieve good results, the buds should be taken between meals, directly on the tongue. Ideally, hold the glycerin macerate in your mouth for a few seconds before swallowing. It can also be diluted in a little water or honey.
Start with 5 drops on the first day, then gradually increase the dosage to 15 or even 20 drops. Once your symptoms have disappeared, continue taking the same number of drops for the remainder of the treatment without increasing the dose. A treatment course of at least 3 weeks is often recommended, repeated 3 times with a one-week break between each course.
A 30-ml bottle ofglycerin maceratesis enough for about a month’s treatment, at a rate of 10 to 15 drops per day. You can takea maximum of 2 to 3 budsat the same time (in the same glass of water) or separately at different times of the day. Normally, your therapist will prescribe the dosage that corresponds to your specific condition.
