 Gemmotherapy
is a new form of herbal medicine, using remedies specially
made from the buds and young shoots of trees and shrubs (other
parts are used as well – typically the rootlets, bark,
catkins, seeds and sap). Preliminary research on using plant
buds therapeutically was started by Dr. Pol Henry of Belgium
in the 1950s. Max Tetau, MD, after extensive clinical research
on immature plant materials, introduced the therapeutic technique
known as Gemmotherapy in 1971.
The buds or young shoots of the immature plants, gathered
in spring (at the highest point of the natural cycle of growth
and renewal) are macerated and extracted with glycerin for
21 days then made into a1X potency. These extracts are high
in growth factors, which contain the phyto-hormones, auxins
and gibberellins. These active ingredients are presents in
the buds, but begin to disappear as the plant matures. Auxins
have a faetal hormonal action, which is found only in the
buds of plants. Gibberellins stimulate RNA and protein synthesis.
They are also only present in the buds and not in the whole
plant. Researchers have found that by utilizing this process
releases the greatest amount of healing potential from the
plants.
From a holistic perspective, they capture the abundant vital
energy concentrated in the germinative parts of the trees
and shrubs.
There are 60 plants utilized in the system of Gemmotherapy.
Each of these plant extracts has very specific actions on
any living organism.
The main principle behind Gemmotherapy is drainage and detoxification
of the organism at its cellular level. By accomplishing this
process, only then can the body truly heal itself.
Hormones, vaccinations, drugs and petrochemicals are rampant
in our society. The toxins that are a product of our environment
and our own metabolic processes can block replication of cells.
Without these cell replications, we have organ failure, which
is commonly known as the disease process.
Dr. Max Tetau states: "When an emunctory of the organism,
that is an excretory system such as the kidneys, the liver,
etc., is inadequate or blocked, when a glandular or tissulary
system is deficient, when a well individualized treatment
conforming to the simillimum of the patient does not give
the hopeful results, but on the contrary presents aggravations
or the appearance of new troubles, it is necessary to stimulate
the organs of elimination by means of medications whose organic
tropism or physiological affinities are known."
is well-backed with certification from various holistic
therapeutic institutions in order to proficiently carry out the treatments
mentioned hereon. However, does not claim to make naturopathic or veterinary diagnoses of any sort but rather perform the mentioned treatments firmly backed
by conventional veterinary findings and referrals. We treat common canine and
animal ailments only, and in the course of creating blends for private consultations,
makes no speculation or diagnoses of illnesses or conditions.
