Gemmotherapy (or Phytoembryotherapy)

HELPAC laboratories produce a very broad range of organic mother macerates from buds and shoots, the vast majority of which are wild and gathered locally.

We produce our mother macerates according to the phytoembryotherapy rules developed by Dr. Pol Henry beginning in the 1960s. As the most concentrated form of plant therapy, Gemmotherapy uses the embryonic tissues of plants: buds and shoots, which provide particularly high concentrations of active substances, minerals, vitamins, plant hormones, etc.

Production is essentially local and organic and the buds are certified by ECOCERT. Our certified controlled gathering sites are mainly located in the Auvergne Nature Parks, pristine natural areas excelling in environmental protection and sustainable development.

HELPAC adheres to the production protocol specified by the French Food Supplements Union (SYNADIET), and provides particularly concentrated and powerful gemmotherapy products: buds are selected at optimum maturity, slow maceration in a mixture of water, organic wheat alcohol (96% vol.) and organic soy glycerine (GMO-free).
