Gemmotherapy: a natural approach to stress management
In this transition towards natural solutions for managing stress, gemmotherapy, using buds and young shoots, stands out. This age-old method offers an innovative perspective on stress management. In this article, we'll explore how the specific properties of fig, blackcurrant, lavender, angelica and neroli buds, present in our natural anti-stress complex, interact to promote your patients' emotional and physical balance.
Buds: powerful natural anti-stress agents
Fig tree (Ficus carica) :
The fig tree bud (Ficus carica) reveals exceptional virtues in stress management. It acts as an emotional regulator, helping to ease nervous tension. The ficocoumarins present in fig buds have been shown to have relaxing effects and help to reduce the physical manifestations of stress, promoting a state of inner calm.
Blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) :
Blackcurrant bud (Ribes nigrum) makes a significant contribution to stress management. Thanks to its range of active compounds, this bud has adaptogenic properties that help the body adapt to the various stresses of everyday life. Blackcurrant acts on the nervous system, promoting more harmonious regulation of responses to stress. It is renowned for its ability to calm nervous tension, reducing the negative impact of stress on the body and mind. As a naturopath, incorporating blackcurrant bud into your approach can offer your patients powerful natural anti-stress support.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) :
Lavender, Lavandula officinalis, is a treasure of nature known for its calming and relaxing properties. Lavender acts as a natural antidote to stress. Its essential oils, rich in beneficial compounds, have been shown to have soothing effects on the nervous system.
As a naturopath, recommending lavender as part of a natural anti-stress approach can be a sensible option. Its sedative properties help to reduce anxiety and promote a state of inner calm. Whether in the form of essential oil, herbal tea or other preparations, lavender can be an effective supplement to help your patients manage stress on a daily basis.
Angelica (Angelica archangelica):
Angelica (Angelica archangelica), also known as ‘angel weed’, is a plant with exceptional anti-stress properties. The active ingredients in angelica have been shown to have soothing effects on the nervous system. Traditionally used for its calming properties, it acts as a natural mood regulator. By promoting relaxation, Angelica helps to relieve the mental and physical tension associated with daily stress.
Neroli (Citrus aurantium) :
Neroli, extracted from the flowers of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium), is a gem in stress management thanks to its soothing and relaxing properties. Neroli's natural compounds act directly on the nervous system, inducing a feeling of calm and tranquillity. This delicate blossom has an exquisite fragrance, making it an ideal option for stimulating emotional well-being. Incorporating Neroli into a natural bud-based anti-stress complex makes full use of its benefits, offering a natural solution to soothe the mind and relieve the tensions of everyday life.
