What is Gemmotherapy?
Gemmotherapy is well researched and a natural method of draining the organism. Gemmotherapy is one of the most powerful and gentlest methods for regenerating the body at a cellular level. It uses plant bud extract and other embryonic plant tissues to open cellular detoxification pathways. It employs buds, inner bark, rootlets, or very young shoots of plants from various woodland trees and shrubs. They are harvested in the spring, throughout the period of cellular division and plant growth. During this stage they contain the highest concentration of active growth factor hormones, auxins, and gibberllins. These hormonal agents contain valuable informative matter required for the drainage of various organs and tissues at the cellular level. Gemmotherapy extends the drainage of toxins beyond the excretory organs, as certain plant extracts also act in detoxification of the skin, bones, heart, and nervous system. Used alone or in combination with other modalities, Gemmotherapy offers a powerful and important modality for regenerating both human and animal health.
The Concept of Gemmotherapy
The concept of Gemmotherapy encompasses the basis of natural medicine and the fundamental principles of homeopathic medicine as founded by Samuel Hahnemann:
1. First, do no harm.
2. The body is capable of self-regulation.
3. Physiology prevails over pathology.
4. Restoring the physiology is essential to healing the pathology.
5. The four pillars of health must also be taken into account with equal value: diet, elimination, psychological equilibrium, balanced hereditary characteristics.
