The word "Gemmotherapy" comes from the Latin word "gemmae", which means "precious stone" as well as "bud" ; this term was chosen to define the kind of phytotherapy that uses the embryonic tissues of trees, shrubs and other plants : buds, young shoots, etc.

The bud carries all the potential for the plant’s development, which is why it is particularly interesting and rich in active ingredients.

            Initiated in the 1950’s by Doctor Pol Henry, Gemmotherapy, also called "embryotherapy", is the most concentrated kind of current phytotherapy. Indeed, the bud is the part of the plant richest in active ingredients, vitamins and minerals.

Their maceration for at least 40 days in a solution of water, alcohol and vegetal glycerin, makes it possible to extract and preserve, highly concentrated, all the benefits of these buds and their properties. The buds macerate and are then placed in bottles in the distillery.

            De Saint-Hilaire’s distillery uses exclusively organic buds from our mountains, harvested manually by gatherers who respect the environment.

From the tree to the bottle, De Saint-Hilaire’s distillery controls the whole supplying process and is one of the only brands certified by Ecocert to guarantee you total traceability.

To enjoy the benefits of the buds and treat daily life ills (stress, respiratory problems, hot flushes, etc.), 2 solutions are offered to you : pure macerates or complexes (made of a mix of macerates).
