Buds form the basis of gemmotherapy

In gemmotherapy, it is the buds of various plants that provide healing and well-being. They give body and mind strength, peace and health, as the small power packets contain large amounts of special enzymes, vitamins and protein as well as growth hormones that are no longer found in the full-grown plant.

Gemmo products are available as drops or as a spray. A specific extract is available for each ailment, similar to Schüssler salts.

Silver lime soothes the central nervous system, sequoia keeps the ligaments supple, dog rose relieves migraines and blackcurrant can stop allergies.

And another advantage: Gemmo products have no side effects and can be ordered from any pharmacy. Depending on the extract, they cost between 15 and 20 euros on average
