Traditional Gemmotherapy Applications

Heather occupies a special place in traditional gemmotherapy as one of the principal remedies for the urinary system.

Traditionally, it has been used to support:

- Kidney drainage
- Bladder health
- Recurrent cystitis
- Urinary tract infections
- Urethral irritation
- Prostate health
- Benign prostate enlargement
- Healthy elimination of uric acid
- Kidney stone prevention as part of a healthy lifestyle
- Joint comfort associated with healthy uric acid metabolism

Traditional gemmotherapy literature also describes Heather as a valuable companion during recurrent urinary infections, often combined with Blackcurrant, Walnut or Poplar bud extracts depending on the individual's needs.

Heather has additionally been traditionally used to support intestinal microbial balance and healthy digestive ecology.

Adults:
- Take 15 drops in the morning and 15 drops in the evening.
- Hold the drops in your mouth for a few seconds before swallowing to encourage buccal and sublingual absorption.
- Take directly on the tongue or dilute in a small amount of low-mineral water.

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.

Organic vegetable glycerin, low-mineral spring water, organic grain alcohol (gluten-free), 3% fresh organic Heather shoots (Calluna vulgaris).
