Our philosophy
Les macérats de bourgeons façon Vesunna
It's first and foremost a demand for quality in terms of both the composition of the macerates and their vibratory qualities.
It's also a desire to participate in the spread of gemmotherapy as tree care.
All stages from harvesting to packaging are carried out with an awareness of the benefits that our bud macerates will produce.

>The Secrets of our Difference
Respectful, sparing harvesting in preserved areas
Sparing harvesting is carried out with deep respect for the tree. They take place in preserved, wild areas or on certified organic land.
Only blackcurrant, walnut and vine buds are harvested from organically grown vines.
Whenever possible, we choose to pick our buds and young shoots locally (Dordogne and Corrèze).
Maceration at the place of picking
To collect the material, of course, but also to collect the energy potential of the buds, they are macerated directly at the place of picking. in a mixture of water, alcohol and honey. We also pay particular attention to their degree of ripeness.
A demanding recipe and procedure
The proportions of our mother macerate: plants, water, honey and alcohol scrupulously respect pharmacopoeia proportions. The mother macerate is obtained by gentle mechanical filtration after a 40-day maceration in glass jars, protected from light. The jars are stirred twice a day during the first 3 weeks of maceration. No plastic containers are used.
Dynamization of diluted macerate
Our diluted bud macerate is obtained by diluting the mother macerate to 1/10 in a mixture of water, honey and alcohol, then dynamized by hand before packaging. This diluted macerate is called 1D dynamisé macerate (1D corresponding to dilution to 1/10th).
Honey in our macerates
Glycerine is the excipient traditionally used in gemmotherapy, but whether of plant origin or not, it is rarely free and requires an industrial production process incompatible with our requirements.
On the other hand, glycerine (food additive E422) "can cause digestive intolerances in sensitive subjects. These intolerances are due to glycerine, which is bacteriostatic and unbalancing for the intestinal flora, especially with prolonged use" Christian Escriva "Précis de Phytothérapie".
Honey, a 100% natural health asset, frees us from these constraints, and the bees are in fact our picking companions. Our choice naturally fell on ORGANIC acacia honey, a tree honey used in gemmotherapy notably for its fluidity.
An alcohol from biodynamic agriculture
The alcohol is distilled from biodynamically-produced grape marc, a guarantee of quality and ethical production.
Filtered, structured and re-dynamized water
The vibratory dimension of our gemmotherapy led us to prefer water that was filtered, structured (cleansed of all prior information) and re-dynamized (we speak of living or revitalized water). It was in Sarlat, a few kilometers from our home, that we found the Voda system from Vodaflor. It is based on a vortex, a system developed at the instigation of Périgueux doctor Dr. Londechamp ("L'homme vibratoire" ed. amrita). The impact of this water on plant development in particular is edifying, but Dr. Londechamp was also able to measure it daily on his patients.
Packaging chosen with care
To guarantee optimum protection of our macerates against light-related degradation, while avoiding cardboard over-packaging, we selected Miron violet bottles whose opacity achieves this objective. We've also opted for a dropper pipette to make it easier to take.
