Dynamic Gemmotherapy

This is the fourth edition of "Dynamic Gemmotherapy". It has become much more than a textbook of Gemmotherapic medicine: it goes "Beyond Gemmotherapy". The Materia Medica of fifty-five herbal remedies prepared according to gemmotherapic pharmacology has been much enlarged and encompasses multiple therapies that have used any of the plants. The Repertory has been enriched with indications that were separated by narrow scopes of practice and are now combined. There was another purpose in reworking this book: to demonstrate the continuity of different methodologies, different and sometimes opposite views of medicine and prove that although each approach might have a specificity or a different scope of action, in the end they are nothing but different filters showing only part of the vast healing potential of our remedies. This is "Beyond Gemmotherapy".

This book explains the use of Gemmotherapic Remedies (made from buds and young shoots) as it relates to the traditional use of the same plant. It includes a Materia Medica, Clinical Suggestions and a detailed Repertory allowing for in-depth knowledge and easy use.

More and more people tend to avoid chemical and pharmaceutical drugs when possible; patients, the consumers of health products, realize that although sometimes useful and lifesaving, those drugs do not cure and are fraught with side effects that are sometimes worse than the disease they claim to treat. Homeopathy, Herbalism, Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine all have answers instead of conventional drugs; but the world of plants is full of surprises, and Gemmotherapy is one of them. I learned this system while still practising conventional medicine in Belgium. It was very appealing because it combines plant extracts without the need to become a phytotherapist (herbalist) or a homeopath, while supported by laboratory research and the clinical experience of medical doctors. For me, it was a link and a gateway between the two worlds. Moreover, there are not too many remedies to study, they cover pretty much most of the pathology seen in a general consultation. Even though I have since studied all those other systems and use them daily in my natural medicine practice, Gemmotherapy has remained a magnificent addition that can solve difficult situations and allow other therapies, more energetic, to act and complete the cure in depth. They are certainly not mutually exclusive and Gemmotherapy can be added to any modality, even conventional medicine, or used on its own. Why "Dynamic Gemmotherapy"? All the books and references I consulted and used over time have in common that they do not relate the gemmotherapic indications to the other ways of practising medicine that use the same plants; in doing so, the scope of the remedies becomes limited, too narrow instead of being integrative, as should be expected from the notion that buds contain the whole potential of the adult plant. This is one approach I have tried to correct. And as a respectful salute to Dr. Pol Henry, I have subtitled this book "Embryonic Phytotherapy," which is the name he gave to this technique. "Integrative" is there to signify the attempt to link all the different uses of the same plant by different healing modalities. - Joe Rozencwajg, NMD

Harnessing the vital energy of plant buds for detoxification and rejuvenation • The uses and healing properties of 34 tree and plant buds, including hawthorn, maple, and lilac • Catalog of more than 30 common ailments and their remedies • Resources for obtaining the remedies and preparation guidelines Gemmotherapy--the medicinal use of plant buds and young shoots--harnesses the healing power of trees and shrubs at the peak of energetic activity in their annual cycle, capturing powerful nutrients, vitamins, plant hormones, and enzymes. Perfect for combatting the unavoidable amount of pollutants we encounter in modern society, gemmotherapy is primarily aimed at draining the body of toxins and acts by gently stimulating and promoting elimination. The potency of these plant “stem cells” also enables gemmotherapy remedies to treat far more ailments than just those for which these plants are prescribed in traditional herbalism. This therapy can be used to treat many common conditions, such as asthma, osteoporosis, kidney stones, and anxiety, and is especially effective at alleviating allergies. This book describes the gemmotherapeutic uses and healing properties of 34 trees and plants, including hawthorn, maple, lilac, as well as covering the history and biological foundations of gemmotherapy. It contains a catalog of more than 30 ailments with in-depth remedy protocols, a resource section, and detailed information on how gemmotherapy extracts are prepared. An adjunct to both traditional herbalism and homeopathy, gemmotherapy offers an all-natural path to detoxification and healing with no side effects.
