Embryological tissues of plants are used to promote tissue regeneration, organ support, and facilitate deep yet gentle detox by directing toxins towards the organs of elimination.2/

This wonderful therapy was further adapted by Dr. Max Tetau, A French homeopath who renamed the discipline "Gemmotherapy".
