The glyceric macerate of fresh buds of
VIBURNUM LANTANA has an elective tropism for the respiratory system, at the level of which it manifests an
inhibition of bronchospasm with regulation of bronchial tone. The action is sedative on the neurovegetative system at the level of the respiratory system: it counteracts the spasm of the bronchi. In particular, the synergism between the bronchodilator activity of Viburnum and the anti-allergic action of Ribes nigrum, to be used in the treatment of bronchial asthma, should be noted. Its action is in fact enhanced by the simultaneous use of
Ribes Nigrum macerate, which has a powerful anti-allergic and cortisone-like action. For this action, Viburnum is a gemmotherapy very indicated in cases of asthma and bronchospasm, and in all cases of
asthma and dyspnea of various etiology.
“Together with Ribes nigrum and Rosmarinusofficinali s, it is the most important remedy for allergic asthma. Its action is placed between that of Ribes in acute allergy and that of Rosmarinus in chronic decompensated allergy. (F. Piterà,
Compendio di Gemmoterapia Clinica, 2004, pag. 604)
”. Secondly, Viburnum has an action on skin tissue in atopic eczema and on the thyroid in Graves’ disease.
The RIBES NIGRUM exerts stimulating action on the adrenal cortex. By stimulating the secretion of anti-inflammatory hormones, it is indicated in allergic cases whatever the clinical aspect: Rhinitis, asthma, Bronchitis, gastritis, urticaria, Headaches, reumatismo allergico. “Fights ltheinfiammazione sia che ltheeziologia sia meccanica, chimica, immunological or infectious (F. Piterà,
Compendio di Gemmoterapia Clinica, 2004, pag. 515)”. Blackcurrant macerate is useful not only for inflammation and allergies, but also against asthma, according to research published in the journal
Molecular Nutrition and Food Research, during which a group of New Zealand scientists, led by
Dr .
Roger Hurst, discovered that epigallocatechin, an antioxidant that is part of the proanthocyanidins contained in black currants,
reduces inflammation in the lungs. “The bud extract, obtained from the maceration of fresh buds, has a marked anti-inflammatory,
anti-allergic and synergistic action against other bud extracts with which it is often associated (Brigo B.,
L’uomo, la fitoterapia, la gemmoterapia, Tecniche Nuove , Milan, 1997)”. “Endowed with anti-inflammatory activity, it acts by direct stimulation on the adrenal cortex
(cortison-like action strong ): its administration increases, in fact, the concentration of blood cortisol. It does not possess, however, the iatrogenic effects of corticoids. (Campanini E.,
Dizionario di fitoterapia e piante medicinali, Tecniche Nuove, Milano, 2000, pagg. 414-415)”. On
the ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS wrote the astrologer
Gieronimo Manfredi: ”
El Rosmarino si è secco et caldo/ di suoi fiori si fa bon confetto/ che secca gli humor del lunge et del petto”. Since ancient times this plant was considered a universal panacea, with particular cardiotonic abilities, strengthening sight and memory.
Many of its virtues or therapeutic properties have now been scientifically proven.
“Rosmarinus officinalis, by virtue of its multipurpose action, is a suitable plant in many syndromes of metabolic decompensation. Its action extends to dominate
biochemical syndromes of hepatic, intestinal,
respiratory system and adrenal-gonadal
system. (F. Piterà,
Compendio di Gemmoterapia Clinica, 2004, pag. 529)”. The glyceric macerate of
ALNUS GLUTINOSA exerts its action in the suppurative phases of inflammatory syndromes of the mucous membranes (
rhinosinusitis,
tracheobronchitis, cholecystitis, cystielite). It can be administered in combination with antibiotic treatment (
P. Henry), and in all diseases of the respiratory tract:
acute and chronic bronchitis. The gemmoderivato of Alnus Glutinosa is indicated in the treatment of febrile states, vasomotor headache, gastroduodenal ulcer, gingivostomatitis, thrombophlebitis. In association with
Ribes nigrum and
Viburnum lantana is indicated in
allergic asthmatic forms.From the plants described above it is possible to obtain
MSA (
Spagyric-Alchemic Macerates)
with extraction ratio 1 to 50 (
R.E. 1/50) if you follow the indications given by
Solanimus in his book “
ALCHEMY and SPAGYRIA: admirabiles et inseparabiles Artes!”, where some practical notions of Spagyria or Spagyrya and Alchemy are described very well.
