Product Notes:
Gemmotherapy
This UNDA product is intended primarily for general drainage therapy, or Gemmotherapy: a relatively new type of treatment designed to drain toxins from the body right at the cellular level, using extracts from young, developing plants – from their shoots, rootlets, saps, or (in this case) their fresh buds – when the plant's life essence is at its peak, rather than using the matured fruits, stalks, or roots to just remove toxins from the inner surface of the organs, as many traditional medicines do.
UNDA
Established over 50 years ago in Belgium, UNDA (a division of Seroyal) is renowned for manufacturing products for supporting immune, lymphatic and endocrine systems, and using only pure materials and herbs which have been biodynamically grown or wildcrafted.
In order to capture the most complete set of highly-concentrated active constituents needed for favourable growth development, tissue regeneration, and essential drainage, UNDA prepares its Gemmotherapy remedies in a medium of natural glycerin and organic ethanol, and filters and potentizes it at a 1/10th dilution (1X Hahnemannian) in a solution of pure water, natural glycerin and organic ethanol. (The constituents are macerated or softened in this way to make them easier to ingest.) UNDA Gemmotherapy preparations facilitate Biotherapeutic Drainage, and are excellent adjuncts to their UNDA Numbered Compounds.
