Ribes Nigrum Black Currant
Key notes:
Ribes nigrum already recommended by the abbot of Montaran in 1712 under the name “elixir of life“, Ribes nigrum was considered as a true panacea because it was told to support human longevity. It is the bud to take to help in all cases of varied pathology. It is adaptogenic, meaning it has a normalising action, both physical and mental, independent of the direction of the disease. It can be given safely over a long period.
Recommended in the 18th century as an “Elixir of Life“, Ribes nigrum bud is one of the most widely applicable of the extracts known in gemmotherapy. A very effective and potent tonic, it has been shown to have a salutary effect throughout the human body. It also enhances the effect of other plants with which it may be associated.
Stimulates cortico-steroid production and regulates the pituitary function. It increases adrenal activity, stimulates the metabolism, regulates the immune system, increases resistance, prevents degeneration and enhances the action of other gemmotherapic.
Natural cortisone (anti-inflammatory / antiallergenic/ anti-infectious).
It is a stimulant of the adrenal glands, kidneys, liver and pancreas.
Adaptogens – Regulates and reinforces the adaptive syndrome. Helps repair the adrenals of patients who have received corticosteroids for a long period of time.
Chemoprotector – Prevents and removes the side effects of chemotherapy & other allopathic drugs.
Diuretic.

Sequoia gigantea, potentiates anti-inflammatory action
Quercus robur, in chronic fatigue, insufficient adrenal function, and MS
Alnus glutinosa, for most acute and chronic inflammatory states
Rosa canina, for sniffly nose
Vaccinium myrtillus, for gastritis and esophagitis
Viburnum lantana, bronchial asthma
Pinus montana, Vitis vinifera, for arthritis
