Main properties

  • hormonal rebalancing :

    airelle bud macerate acts against aging and reduced ovarian activity. It maintains its vitality by fighting against the hardening of the tissue. It has a rather estrogen-like action, although it tends to slightly raise progesterone levels. This allows it to maintain a certain hormonal balance. It is therefore recommended during menopause, and acts on all symptoms linked to menopause. It can be used generally as soon as there is a decline in ovarian functioning.

  • antisclerotic :

    airelle prevents tissue sclerosis. It is active at the renal, intestinal, but also arterial and vascular levels, whether small vessels or not. It thus ensures the vitality of all organs. For this reason, bud macerate is considered a first-rate anti-aging agent, particularly for women.

  • draining, regenerating :

    lingonberry is active on the kidneys where it has long-term draining and regenerating properties. It is a urinary disinfectant, and helps eliminate calcium deposits in the kidneys to prevent renal lithiasis. Bud macerate contributes in particular to lowering uric acid, helps the acid-base balance of the body, and fights against hardening of tissues. It therefore acts on problems linked to acidosis of the body. It is useful when the bladder or kidneys have been damaged following long or repeated infections.

  • intestinal rebalancing :

    certain plants have this capacity to exhibit a bipolar action. For Lingonberry, this is the case at the digestive level where it is recommended in cases of chronic constipation as well as diarrhea. It helps regulate the motility of the colon: it exerts a stimulating, antispasmodic and sedative action. As on the kidneys, it is also draining and disinfectant, and normalizes the intestinal flora as well as its absorption capacity, particularly calcium.
