Gemmo, the science of buds in 8 questions
Ecrit le 08/12/2021 par Pauline de Santarome
For those who thought they were reading an article about precious stones and jewelry, you're out of luck... Gems have nothing to do with gemmo 😉 Today, we're talking about plants. More specifically, embryos, young shoots... organic buds!
Welcome to the fantastic world of gemmo.
1) What is gemmo?
Okay, we may have lied to you a little at the beginning of this article... The term gemmo comes from the Latin gemmae, which means both precious stone and bud. In reality, buds are as precious as stones. They contain all the power of the future plant.
Gemmo therapy involves harnessing the properties of the embryonic tissues of growing plants to create a powerful concentrate of natural active ingredients.
2) Where does gemmo come from?
The exceptional richness of buds has therefore interested our ancestors since Ancient Egypt. Buds were considered to bethe essence of life, helping the body to function normally. And they were not wrong!
In the Middle Ages, alchemists used buds to balance the body's overall harmony. But it was not until 1950 that scientific studies were conducted.
It was Dr. Pol Henry who highlighted the action of buds. They containall the vital energy of the plant and all of its properties.
His work defined the basis of "phytoembryo." Later, French homeopath Dr. Max Tétau developed this discipline."Gemmo" was born.
4) So what are the benefits of the bud?
Gemmo, natural well-being, helps balance the body. What does that mean in practical terms? Here are a few examples of how the active ingredients in plants and their buds can be used:
- Poor sleep quality? Hawthorn, fig tree, and linden, a triple complex of buds to help you enjoy calm and restful nights.
- Feeling tired? Blackcurrant, rosemary, and redwood—the winning trio of buds to give you a boost.
- Pressure, stress, and mental overload? Discover our bud macerates to combat stress:Oak, hawthorn, and fig tree.
5) But how can this concentrated active ingredient be obtained?
With over 15 years of expertise in gemmotherapy, Santarôme Bio buds are harvested by hand in accordance with Pol Henry's method.
The buds used are fresh,organic, and wild, always combined in groups of three (tri-complex) to act onthe body's overall balance.
Santarome Bio bud macerates are prepared through a21-day maceration process:
- ⅓ water to dissolve vitamins, flavonoids, minerals, tannins, and water-soluble active ingredients
- ⅓ vegetable glycerin to dissolve waxes, phenols, essential oils, flavonoids, and gums
- ⅓ alcohol to dissolve alkaloids, heterosides, glucosides, and vitamins.
All the effectiveness of the buds is thus found in Santarome's ampoules and dry forms.

Excellent product
I feel relieved of a weight that I usually carried around with me and of that unpleasant feeling of anxiety. It's very easy to use and can be adapted to how you feel during the day.
7) Why choose gemmo?
Gemmo is a branch of phytotherapy. The only difference, and not the least significant one, is the use of buds rather than the mature plant.
