Cedar, a drainer of gemmotherapy
Le cèdre est un draineur profond. Il aide à l'élimination des toxines accumulées causant des problèmes dermatologiques. Pour rappel, en naturopathie, on considère la peau comme un émonctoire de relais lorsque le foie et les reins ne peuvent plus drainer correctement. La surcharge de travail de ces derniers entraîne une accumulation de déchets qui tentent alors de sortir par la peau. Celle-ci finit par se fragiliser et à s'enflammer. Les jeunes pousses de cèdre permettent alors de soulager l'activité émonctorielle de la peau et pourront être accompagnées par d'autres bourgeons comme celui de romarin, de genévrier ou de bouleau pour renforcer la détox, en fonction des besoins et de l'état vital général.
