The buds of plants

Henriette Lamprecht – It utilizes a unique product that is made from young shoots and buds of plants, believed to contain the peak life essence of the plant. The origins of gemmotherapy as a treatment modality, inspired by the homeopathic principle of drainage, goes way back to the late 1950s when Dr Pol Henry, a Belgian homeopath, conducted preliminary research on the therapeutic properties of the buds of plants in Belgium. According to Dr Penehafo Haitamba-Shindume, he applied his research in the 1960s and 1970s, publishing his clinical findings and naming the therapy “phytoembryotherapy”. Henry was also inspired by a book written by Johan Wolfgang von Goethe in the 1700s, titled The Metamorphosis of plants. A French homeopath in the 1980s, Dr Max Tetau, later adapted the work and renamed it “gemmotherapy”, “gemmo” meaning the bud of a plant.According to Haitamba-Shindume, many plants and flowers are used to achieve various draining methods targeting various systems of the body. The main actions of gemmotherapy are to facilitate the detoxification of the system; aid in tissue regeneration via their active constituents; favour growth development via active ingredients known as gibberellin; encourage toxin elimination; as well as encourage proper functioning of the organs so that the organism can send toxins through to its various draining sites, known as emunctories. Various remedies are recommended for various conditions.Haitamba-Shindume explains gemmotherapy works great for skin conditions, seasonal allergies, chronic ENTs (ear, nose and throat conditions), asthma, uterine infections, migraines, digestive disturbances, sleep difficulties, menstrual irregularities, fertility issues, high blood pressure, and many more.According to her, gemmotherapy remedies are made by a maceration of botanical material with glycerine and water, or with glycerine, water and alcohol in a dilution 1:9 and succession. The glycerine is 100% vegetable-sourced, usually from Zea mays (maize), and the alcohol is sourced from beets.“These remedies are safe for everybody, even infants.”Plants are harvested in the spring, she explains, throughout the period of cellular division and plant growth. During this stage, they contain the highest concentration of active growth factor hormones, auxins, and gibberellins. These specific hormonal agents contain valuable informative matter required for the drainage of various organs and tissues at the cellular level. – dr@happyhealth.com.na, www.happyhealth.com.na
