Naturopathy The healing power of the plant buds

Cornelia Stern has published a patient guide on gemmotherapy. In the richly illustrated book she presents 23 plants with their modes of action and fields of application.

Active ingredients derived from plant buds, so-called gemmom agents, can relieve acute and chronic symptoms quickly and gently. They are easy to use and well tolerated. The active ingredients contained in the plant buds are dissolved out with the help of glycerine, water and alcohol.

The products are available from pharmacies. If you do not want to buy them, you can make them in the book yourself using the step-by-step instructions. But it takes some patience. The guide shows at what stage the buds are best harvested and how they are processed.

An indication table from A to Z is also included in the book. The publication addresses interested amateurs, who can see at a glance which plants help with which complaints. (Bibliography
