GEMMOTHERAPY AND MESENCHYMAL DRAINAGE
Stimulation and cleansing of the reticuloendothelial system“Drainage” refers to therapeutic techniques that promote the elimination of metabolic waste through specific remedies, supporting the body’s natural detox processes.Two types exist:– Emunctory drainage: enhances excretory organ function (liver, kidneys, lungs, skin, intestines, lymphatic system). It activates healthy systems to eliminate connective toxins.– Mesenchymal drainage: deeper, organ-specific stimulation of the reticuloendothelial system to remove toxins directly from affected tissues — even non-excretory ones.Phytotherapy achieves emunctory drainage, while gemmotherapy (using fresh bud extracts) offers targeted mesenchymal detox. Mother tinctures stimulate humoral systems and excretion; glycerin macerates act on the reticuloendothelial network for organ-specific detoxification.Supporting drainage helps maintain physiological cleansing and a healthy internal environment — the foundation for lasting wellness.
