Naturopathic Physician and Detoxification Expert
Hello, everyone! I’m Dr. Christine Schaffner, and I wanted to share two products that I’m super excited about during this time of Spring.
When we think about Springtime, we think about spring cleansing.. And we take a moment to reflect on and reflect on how we can really support our organs of elimination. And with that inspiration, we also see all the fresh buds and shots of the plants and the trees and the flowers as they start to bloom. Spring is a potent time for healing and growth.
In that spirit, there’s a lesser-know field of botanical medicine called gemmotherapy, which I’d like to share a little about gemmotherapy with you today. My personal experience with gemmotherapy has been profound. It has really shifted my body at unique times in my life. In fact, I’m thrilled that I connected with a pioneer in the field of gemmotherapy, a woman named Jennifer Peyer, who is the owner and founder of Nature Provides, a company dedicated to bringing plant stem cells into the mainstream world.
Nature Provides sources these wonderful embryonic plant stem cells from Italy. It’s a biodynamically grown farm where they pick the fresh buds and shoots of the plants during springtime and they time that in a way where they get the most potent healing effect from the plants.
And what happens afterward is that they make what we call a glycerin adn alcohol master, so it’s a combination of alcohol and glycerin to extract the healing potential from the plants. And then there’s a specific proces where they bring the ash, and put it back into the formulas to enhance the mineral content of these formulas.
So, when we think about the need for spring cleaning, we can feel that we’re coming out of winter, so we can emerge from the sluggish and slower times of year into the regenerative growth of spring.
But spring also has a bellweather hallmark: allergy season.
The great news is that allergies can be modulated and mitigated, especially when your body is in a cleansing process. So if you’re struggling with fatigue, or brain fog, or sinus congestion, allergies, weight gain or even gut issues, this is a good time to think about cleansing and supporting your body with a detox.
I've been taking one tablespoon twice a day, you can put it in a little water if you'd like but I actually enjoyed the tastes of them.
And then whenever we’re moving lymph and bile and you know, just basically metabolic wastes and toxins out of the extracellular matrix.
The recommended dose is two capsules, twice a day with or without food.
So treat yourself to spring cleaning and enjoy the really potent powerful properties of plant stem cells and this really wonderful binder that is very easy to take not constipating and is a really good synergistic pairs. So please share your feedback and how that goes for you. And I’m hoping that you feel lighter and more energy and can really enjoy this transition into spring on this springtime season.
Thank you so much!
