  • anti-inflammatory, draining :

    glutinous Alder is a general anti-inflammatory. It acts mainly at the respiratory level, but also at the digestive, joint, vascular and urinary levels. In addition, it has an antispasmodic and draining action. This makes it interesting in joint problems with the presence of toxins, urinary infections, and respiratory infections with the presence of mucus. It also acts on any kind of organ or tissue suffering from chronic inflammation.

  • anti-infectious :
