The interest of gemmotherapy is that it uses the embryonic tissues of plants to act on the body. These tissues are extracted from parts of plants still growing (buds or young shoots) which are particularly concentrated in active ingredients (minerals, vitamins, phytohormones) necessary for the proper development of the plant and its protection against external aggression. These plant parts are then macerated in a water – alcohol – glycerin mixture for several weeks. We then obtain a concentrated mother macerate, also called hydroalcoholic extract of fresh buds.
