The benefits of gemmotherapy on athletes

Gemmotherapy is the most recent branch of phytotherapy . It uses young shoots of trees and shrubs . The latter are prepared fresh by direct maceration in water, glycerol and alcohol. Gemmotherapy acts on the whole body. It is mainly used to support and rebalance the body’s dysfunctions : immunity, elimination, circulation, etc.

How does gemmotherapy work?

The bud is made up of embryonic tissue and contains all the properties of the tree: it is a concentrate of vital energy . Embryonic tissue contains certain concentrations of amino acids, plant hormones, vitamins, enzymes, minerals, sap and nucleic acids. Therefore, all the energy of the tree is concentrated there. Gemmotherapy treats a variety of everyday ailments . This is a more structured approach to detoxification to keep the body functioning properly. It is used in therapeutic form for the prevention of infectious diseases, aging, and even the normalization of metabolic disorders.

Who can use gemmotherapy?

In general, there is no particular contraindication , the macerates of buds are without danger. Gemmotherapy is a good ally for pregnant women, for heavy leg problems , low energy, urinary discomfort and gastric disorders. In some cases, it can be used in babies in the event of problems falling asleep, gastric reflux or in children during exams, for example. Of course it is necessary to respect the dosages which can vary slightly from one brand to another. The dosages for adults and children are also different. Macerates should be taken between meals, diluted in a little water if necessary.

How to use gemmotherapy and glycerine macerates?

The opinion of a competent health professional is not to be neglected in this kind of advice, especially to associate different buds. The macerates are used primarily orally on an empty stomach, so outside of meals, at least 15 minutes before a meal, 1 to 3 times a day.

The easiest way is to take the same dosage throughout the use of the same remedy. In general, for an adult, the dosages are 50 to 150 drops per day, in one dose or divided into 3 doses per day.

Sports medicine

Gemmotherapy is also a therapy particularly well suited to athletes , for three reasons. Firstly, gemmotherapeutic drugs do not present any contraindication, addiction, or side effect known to date, apart from containing a small amount of alcohol. They are not on the list of doping products. Indicated in the management of general pathologies, usually supported by allopathic therapies, they are sometimes prohibited and included on the list of doping products.

Secondly, gemmotherapy adapts to acute pathologies that require rapid and effective treatment. Inflammatory pathologies and asthenia related to the practice of sports fall within this framework, with for example Ribes Nigrum 1 Dh BgMg .

Finally, the sportsman being subjected in competition to a stress and to a certain psychological pressure , the gemmotherapy can bring an interesting answer in the management of psychic disorders which can alter the sports performances. In allopathy, effective drugs treating these dysfunctions exist (ex: benzodiazepines) without being doping, but their undesirable effects are major (drowsiness, psychic and physical dependence, tolerance) and the practitioner will prefer to avoid them as much as possible. For example: Ficus carica 1Dh BgMg .
