This summer, boost your circulation with chestnut buds 

In the summer, as temperatures rise, cardiovascular and lymphatic problems become more pronounced: the legs swell and become painful. To prevent these discomforts, chestnut is the best remedy. 

This macerate stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation, helping to prevent or even relieve stagnation and swelling in the lower limbs. Learn more about chestnut buds—your best ally this summer!

Castanea Sativa, the tree that stimulates lymph flow

The chestnut tree grows in soil rich in silica and does not thrive in calcareous soil. It prefers warm climates and is fairly hardy, except against chestnut blight, a fungus that can weaken it. 

Its fruits, chestnuts, are extremely nutritious and rich in minerals. Eaten in rural areas in the fall, chestnuts have fed many families during times of food scarcity. Furthermore, the tree is able to regenerate from the stump when it has been cut down, burned, or damaged. 

Did you know? The chestnut tree is a symbol of strength, justice, loyalty, and honesty.

Chestnut Buds and the Lymphatic System

In the world of gemmotherapy, chestnut bud is the remedy for lymphatic stasis. It tones the tissues and helps cleanse and promote the circulation of lymph. 

Lymph tends to become quickly saturated with waste products, especially if you lead a sedentary lifestyle. Chestnut bud extract is therefore a valuable ally for restoring proper fluid circulation year-round, but especially in the summer! 

What Is Lymph?

Lymph is a fluid that circulates throughout the body via its own network. It carries white blood cells and waste products and then releases them into the venous circulation for elimination. Along its path are the lymph nodes, which swell when there is an infection. 

Unlike the circulatory system, which relies on the heart to act as a pump, the lymphatic vessels have no means of propulsion. It is the body’s movement—particularly walking, which stimulates the arch of the foot—combined with blood circulation that allows lymph to flow. 

Chestnut for Detoxification

Chestnut budscleanse deep tissues and help eliminate waste products that circulate through the lymphatic system, such as drug residues and food additives. 

A clogged lymphatic system increases the risk of developing spasms, persistent fatigue, muscle pain, a weakened immune system, water retention...

In addition to professionallymphatic drainage and a tailored, personalized lifestyle, chestnut buds are sure to relieve the discomfort caused by poor lymphatic circulation!

Gemmotherapy to Help with Water Retention

Chestnut buds help relieve water retention issues. Edema, cellulite, and swelling in the upper and lower limbs are alleviated by chestnut. 

In cases of water retention caused by hormonal changes, other buds—such as apple and raspberry—can be used in combination with chestnut.

Chestnut Buds: A Venous Tonic

The venous system is sometimes overburdened, which slows down the elimination of waste products carried by the lymph. 

The city then ends up with an excess of trash, like an overflowing trash can because the garbage collectors are late in arriving. 

 

Symptoms such as heavy legs, varicose veins, phlebitis, spider veins, varicose ulcers, etc., then begin to appear.

Chestnut buds can help relieve these symptoms thanks to their stimulating and detoxifying properties. 

In closing, let’s take a look back at the principles of gemmotherapy

Buds, rootlets, and young shoots are plant cells in the embryonic stage that contain within them all the characteristics of the plant, tree, or shrub. 

For example, in a single glycerin macerate made from blackcurrants, we find the properties of the blackcurrant leaves, bark, fruit, roots, and flowers. 

We can truly say that we are faced with a potential for action that has been strengthened and multiplied many times over. All the vitality of the mature plant is concentrated in a single bud.
