Traditionally it has been used to support:
- Healthy arterial circulation
- Arterial vitality
- Healthy blood fluidity
- Cardiovascular wellness
- Heart rhythm support
- Healthy coronary circulation
- Thyroid balance where cardiovascular symptoms are present (traditional use)

- Take 15 drops morning and evening.
- Take directly on the tongue or diluted in a small amount of low-mineral water.
- Hold the liquid in your mouth for a few seconds before swallowing to allow absorption through the oral mucosa.
- For best absorption, take 15 to 60 minutes before meals or 1½ to 2 hours after meals.
- Avoid mixing with juice, milk or herbal tea.
- Do not use hot water, as heat may affect the preparation.
Follow the recommended course consistently for the best results.

Long-term use:
For long-term wellness support, Herbiolys traditionally recommends following a course for at least 3 months, with a one-week break after every three weeks of use. This approach is commonly used in traditional gemmotherapy for long-standing concerns.

At Herbiolys, quality begins in nature and is preserved at every stage of production.

Carefully Selected, Fully Traceable Herbs
All plants are harvested by accredited producer-pickers, ensuring complete traceability from the field to the finished product. This direct relationship with the harvesters guarantees transparency, integrity, and respect for the plant.

Organic Plants from Protected Natural Areas
The organic herbs are primarily sourced from preserved natural environments, far from pollution and environmental contamination. For protected or rarer species, certified organic cultivation is used to safeguard biodiversity.

Ethical and Responsible Harvesting
Harvesting is carried out in accordance with the SIMPLES Syndicate Charter and organic farming standards. Great care is taken to protect plant populations and maintain ecological balance at each harvesting site. Respect for nature is not an option - it is a principle.

Immediate On-Site Maceration
To preserve the full vitality of the plant, maceration takes place immediately at the harvest location. This prevents oxidation and enzyme degradation while protecting chlorophyll and the plant’s naturally occurring active compounds. The result is a vibrant extract that reflects both the essence of the plant and the energy of its natural habitat.

Glass Storage from Start to Finish
All macerations are prepared and stored exclusively in glass demijohns and bottles from harvest through to the finished product. This ensures purity and stability without unwanted interactions.

Hand-Dynamized Extracts
During the final packaging stage, each extract is dynamized by hand. This traditional process enhances dispersion and assimilation of the plant’s active compounds while supporting the energetic quality of the preparation.

A Rigorous, Artisan Protocol
From harvesting to labeling, every step is carried out with precision and care. This strict production protocol ensures exceptional quality, purity, and effectiveness in every bottle.

Ingredients: Organic vegetable glycerine, organic gluten-free grain alcohol, low-mineral spring water, fresh organic Dogwood buds (Cornus sanguinea) (3%).

Dogwood (Cornus sanguinea), also known as Blood Cornelian Cherry, has a long history in European traditional herbal medicine. The shrub grows naturally throughout much of Europe and has traditionally been appreciated for its strong, resilient wood and its role in supporting wellness.

In the 20th century, Dogwood gained particular importance through the development of gemmotherapy, a branch of botanical medicine pioneered by the Belgian physician Dr. Pol Henry. Rather than using mature plant parts, gemmotherapy focuses on fresh buds, which contain the plant's embryonic tissues and are traditionally considered to hold its full developmental potential.

Within traditional gemmotherapy, Dogwood became recognised as one of the principal bud extracts for supporting the cardiovascular system. It has traditionally been used to help maintain healthy arteries, promote balanced circulation, and support cardiovascular vitality, particularly as part of healthy ageing. It has also been traditionally recommended to support women experiencing hot flashes during menopause, where changes in circulation are believed to play a role.

Today, Herbiolys continues this tradition by harvesting certified organic Dogwood buds fresh in France and macerating them immediately at the harvesting site to preserve the vitality of the young plant tissues before they are hand-energised and bottled.

🌿 What is Dogwood Bud Extract traditionally used for?

In traditional gemmotherapy, Dogwood (Cornus sanguinea) Bud Extract is primarily used to support cardiovascular wellness. It is traditionally valued for helping maintain healthy arteries, promoting circulation, and supporting the heart and blood vessels as part of a healthy lifestyle.

🌿 Can Dogwood Bud Extract support healthy circulation?

Traditionally, Dogwood is regarded as one of the principal gemmotherapy remedies for arterial circulation. It has long been used to support healthy blood flow and maintain the elasticity and vitality of the arteries.

🌿 Is Dogwood Bud Extract suitable during menopause?

Yes. In traditional gemmotherapy, Dogwood is often used during perimenopause and menopause, particularly when hot flashes are associated with changes in circulation. It is commonly combined with other bud extracts that support hormonal balance.

🌿 Can Dogwood Bud Extract be combined with other bud extracts?

Yes. In traditional gemmotherapy, bud extracts are often combined to provide broader support by addressing different aspects of the same wellness goal.

For women during perimenopause and menopause, Dogwood Bud Extract is traditionally valued for supporting healthy circulation and helping maintain comfort during hot flashes. It can therefore complement other bud extracts with different areas of focus.

Examples of traditional combinations include:

- Dogwood + Lingonberry for hormonal transition and hot flashes.
- Dogwood + Raspberry for hormonal balance and menopausal comfort.
- Dogwood + Apple for broader support during menopause.
- Dogwood + White Alder + Sea Buckthorn for women experiencing menopausal vaginal dryness together with circulatory changes.
- Dogwood + Linden when relaxation and restful sleep are also part of the wellness goal.

Each bud contributes its own traditional strengths, allowing a more holistic approach than relying on a single extract alone. Herbiolys traditionally combines bud extracts in this way as part of gemmotherapy practice.

🌿 How long should I take Dogwood Bud Extract?

Herbiolys traditionally recommends taking bud extracts consistently as part of a course. For long-term wellness support, a programme of at least three months is commonly used, with a one-week break after every three weeks of use.

🌿 When is the best time to take Dogwood Bud Extract?

For best absorption, take the drops 15 to 60 minutes before meals or 1½ to 2 hours after meals. Hold the liquid in your mouth for a few seconds before swallowing to encourage absorption through the oral mucosa.

🌿 Can I mix the drops with coffee, juice or herbal tea?

Herbiolys recommends taking the drops directly on the tongue or diluted in a small amount of low-mineral water. Avoid mixing them with juice, milk or herbal tea, and do not use hot water.

🌿 Why are fresh buds used instead of mature plant parts?

Gemmotherapy uses freshly harvested buds because they contain the embryonic tissues of the plant. Traditionally, these young tissues are considered to contain the plant's full developmental potential and are extracted immediately after harvest to preserve their natural constituents.

🌿 What makes Herbiolys bud extracts different?

Herbiolys uses freshly harvested, certified organic buds that are never frozen. The buds are macerated directly at the harvesting site to preserve their freshness, and each preparation is traditionally hand-energised before bottling.

🌿 Who should not use Dogwood Bud Extract?

Dogwood Bud Extract is not recommended for people who are allergic to salicylates or those taking anticoagulant medication. It should also be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless otherwise advised.
