What's the point ? To treat various small ailments:echinacea extract stimulates the immune defences, artichoke extract helps digestion, St. John's wort to fight against stress... There are more than thirty fresh plant extracts on the market .
What's in it? It is a juice prepared with the entire fresh plant:roots, stems, leaves... Barely picked, they are crushed. Then a juice is extracted which retains the active ingredients of the plant. it has nothing to do with the essential oil, which is an aromatic extract used in cosmetics (shampoo, cream, etc.) and in health (massage oil, inhalation, etc.).
How do I take them? As a cure for one to two months, at the rate of a teaspoon diluted in a glass of water, away from meals. In 48 hours, we begin to feel the benefits.
How to choose them well? In pharmacies, standardized plant extracts are requested. You can also find it in organic stores (Vogel, Weleda…).
Store in the fridge. I.H.
