Gemmotherapy

THE POWER OF PLANTS

Discover the 20 products (simple and complex) in our gemmotherapy range, all of which are certified organic.

We offer concentrated mother macerates following the method developed by Dr P. Henry. It is the only method that performs maceration in three solvents: water, alcohol and glycerin.  This technique extracts all of the active ingredients in the buds, which already contain the full developmental potential of the future plants. Our products are made from fresh plants that were organically farmed and that are not diluted.

What is a bud?

- Embryonic tissue: the meristem which generates all of the adult organs from a single cell (the totipotent stem cell)

- Great multiplying power

- The precursor of all the plant’s substances

- No toxic secondary metabolites

- High sap content

- No bud disease (bee glue from the buds)

Benefits

Concentrated mother macerates that contain 10 times less alcohol than glycerin macerates. The product is easier to take (5 to 10 drops per day instead of 50 to 150 for glycerin macerates). A concentrated macerate contains all the power of the bud, which is rich in nucleic acids, amino acids, vitamins, micronutrients, etc. In other words, it possesses the properties of both the fruit and the plant.

What is a macerate?

A macerate comes from leaving natural elements like fruit, roots, plants and flowers in a medium in order to extract its active ingredients.

More precisely, those extracts are obtained through maceration in water, which isolates water-soluble ingredients like tannins, mineral salts, most flavonoids and certain vitamins.

What does this macerate correspond to?

These macerates are an exact reflection of the plant’s active ingredients, without any alterations whatsoever!

There is no preliminary freezing, which would modify the intermolecular structure of the water inside the plant, meaning there is no alteration of the flavonoids or vitamins.

There is no fine, ultra-fast grinding which could break down the cell walls of the tissues forming the plant.

Who is meant to use our macerates?

Because they’re alcohol-free, anyone can tolerate them! In fact, the absence of toxicity in these dietary supplements at the usual doses allows the extracts to be recommended for use by one and all.

These extracts are made from plants of the highest quality and represent particularly effective phytotherapy products.

It was within this context that we received Regional President Christelle Morançais this past Friday, 11 January 2019. It was a moment for sharing and discussing the work we love over a tea tasting on this occasion.

To restore the legal status of the profession of herbalist, members of French Parliament have come together under the impetus of Senator Joël Labbé. As the rapporteur for the senatorial mission on the development of trade in herbs and medicinal plants, industries and professions of the future, Joël Labbé is delighted at this initial victory in moving legislation forward. Within this context, France 3 television station came to do a report at Cailleau Herboristerie.

(Article published in L’OBS in November 2017)

Created in 1868, Cailleau Herboristerie specializes in medicinal and aromatic plants. It is wholly independent, acquired by Mr and Mrs Brard in 2013. Set up in brand new buildings by the motorway exit in Chemillé-en-Anjou in the Maine-et-Loire department, Cailleau Herboristerie has 5,000 m² of space in which to receive, process, package and ship its products in accordance with the latest production standards. It covers two business sectors: sales to retail outlets like herbalist’s shops, hair salons, health food shops and pharmacies, and sales to industrial clients like breweries, agri-food industry and cosmetics manufacturers. The company received its latest pharmaceutical approval a year ago, so it can now sell plants from the pharmacopoeia domain to pharmacies. Today, Cailleau Herboristerie has a staff of 35 full-time employees.   A catalogue of more than 800 products. Its catalogue contains more than 800 plants in a variety of forms: leaves, flowers, flowering tops, roots, cut, whole, powdered and more. Cailleau Herboristerie depends on the botanical excellence of its products and the know-how of its suppliers to procure high-quality plants for its clients. It guarantees each plant’s botanical identity. The company works with its pharmacist to inspect and test each delivery to guarantee consumer safety. It sources its products as close to home as possible, preferring short supply chains and local producers. But some plants aren’t grown in the region. For example, lavender comes from the South of France and génépi from the Alps. Others have to be imported, especially from Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Tunisia and even Brazil. It has also launched an organic strategy to meet a growing need. Currently, organic plants account for 25% of the catalogue. The plants are prepared in all forms (cut, crumbled, etc.), processed (capsules, aqueous macerates, essential oils and tea bags) and packaged (from 250 g to 2.5 T) on the company’s premises, as per clients’ needs and requests. More than 2,000 clients have already placed their trust in the firm. The quality of its products are also recognized abroad, as 15% of Cailleau Herboristerie’s turnover comes from exports.
