Our Philosophy

Vesunna-style bud macerates,
– it is above all a requirement for quality both in terms of the composition of the macerates and in terms of vibration.
– it is also a desire to participate in the influence of gemmotherapy as a treatment by trees. Our notebooks (blog) are in particular witnesses to this.
All the stages from picking to preparing the packages are carried out with the awareness of the benefits that our bud macerates will produce.
The Secrets of our Difference
Respectful and sparing harvesting in preserved areas
The sparing harvests are carried out with deep respect for the tree. They take place in preserved and wild areas or on certified organic land.
Only blackcurrant, walnut and vine buds are harvested from organically grown plants.
Whenever possible, we choose proximity (Dordogne and Corrèze) to pick our buds and young shoots.
Maceration at the picking site
To collect matter of course, but to also collect the energy potential of the buds, they are macerated directly at the picking site. in a mixture of water, alcohol and honey. We also pay particular attention to their degree of maturity.
A demanding recipe and operating method
The proportions of our mother macerate: plants, water, honey and alcohol scrupulously respect the proportions of the pharmacopoeia. The mother macerate is obtained by gentle mechanical filtration after a 40-day maceration in glass jars, protected from light. The jars are stirred twice a day during the first 3 weeks of maceration. All plastic containers are prohibited.
Dynamizing the diluted macerate
Our diluted bud macerate is obtained by diluting the mother macerate to 1/10 in a mixture of water, honey and alcohol and then manually dynamized before being packaged. This diluted macerate is called dynamized 1D macerate (1D corresponding to the dilution to 1 Tenth).
Honey in our macerates
Glycerin is the excipient traditionally used in gemmotherapy, but whether it is of plant origin or not, it is rarely free and requires an industrial production process incompatible with our requirements.
On the other hand, glycerin (food additive E422) "can cause digestive intolerances in sensitive subjects. These intolerances are due to glycerin which is bacteriostatic and unbalancing for the intestinal flora, especially with prolonged use" Christian Escriva "Précis de Phytothérapie".
Honey, a 100% natural health asset, allows us to free ourselves from these constraints, bees are also our picking companions. Our choice naturally fell on organic acacia honey, tree honey used in gemmotherapy in particular because of its fluidity.
An alcohol from biodynamic agriculture
The alcohol comes from the distillation of grape marc produced biodynamically, a guarantee of quality and production ethics.
Filtered, structured and revitalized water
The vibrational dimension of our gemmotherapy led us to prefer filtered, structured (cleaned of all prior information) and revitalized water (we speak of living or revitalized water). It is in Sarlat, a few kilometers from home that we found the system that suited us, the Voda from the Vodaflor company. It is based in particular on a vortex, a system developed under the impetus of Doctor Londechamp, a doctor in Périgueux ("L’homme vibratoire" ed. amrita). The impact of this water, particularly on the development of plants, is edifying, but Dr. Londechamp was also able to measure it daily on these patients.
Carefully selected packaging
To guarantee optimal protection of our macerates against damage caused by light, while avoiding excessive cardboard packaging, we have selected Miron purple bottles whose opacity allows us to achieve this objective. We have also opted for a dropper pipette to make it easier to take.
