What is Desmodium?

Desmodium adscendens is a perennial wild plant native to West Africa, belonging to the Fabaceae family. It also grows in Latin America and humid equatorial zones. It is a plant recognizable by its oval-shaped leaves and light purple/violet flowers.
This climbing plant was introduced to France by Doctors Pierre Tubéry and Anne-Marie Tubéry in the 1970s. With the help of researchers, they quickly discovered the numerous properties of Desmodium. It is particularly renowned for its ability to soothe the liver: it effectively protects the liver.

What are the benefits of Desmodium?

Our liver is often put under considerable strain: between the excesses of rich and processed foods, but also excesses, a sedentary lifestyle, pollution… Our liver struggles to keep up. If we don't take good enough care of it, it will function at a reduced capacity. This will inevitably have negative repercussions on our body.

Our liver, in addition to being a reservoir of vitamins, performs a colossal task in our body by fulfilling three functions simultaneously:

  1. Filter and purify the blood
  2. Transforming and storing the substances we absorb (medicine, alcohol, food…
  3. To produce bile and proteins (as a reminder, bile helps to get rid of certain toxins and therefore plays a fundamental role).

Therefore, it is our duty to keep it healthy if we want it to continue fulfilling its daily tasks.

In addition, Desmodium is a plant known for treating viral liver disorders:

  1. Liver protection: This medicinal plant is also often recommended for people with diseases such as hepatitis A and B. Furthermore, it is frequently used to protect the liver during intensive medical treatments to mitigate side effects (during chemotherapy, for example). In particular, it helps reduce liver swelling.

  2. Liver detoxification: Desmodium adscendens has draining properties; a course of this plant helps the liver eliminate toxins. Ideal for detoxification after excessive alcohol or food consumption, desmodium adscendens is among the medicinal plants whose virtues are recognized in several regions of the world for treating asthma and certain allergies.

  3. Liver regeneration: Desmodium is known to increase the production of glutathione, a natural antioxidant found in the liver, which helps protect liver cells from damage caused by free radicals. It can also stimulate liver cell regeneration by increasing protein synthesis and promoting liver tissue growth.

How to do a Desmodium treatment?

Desmodium can be consumed in different ways: as an infusion or decoction, as an oral solution or even in ampoule form.

We recommend choosing Desmodium ampoules , which are generally more concentrated than other products and therefore deliver faster results. The Santarome Bio formula is complemented by a trio of bud extracts (Birch, Juniper, and Rosemary) to create the most effective dietary supplement possible.

All you have to do is take one ampoule per day (diluted in 20cl of water) for twenty days!

If you wish to consume desmodium adscendens as an infusion, be aware that it is recommended not to exceed three cups per day. Making an infusion is very simple: heat water in a saucepan until boiling, infuse 10g of leaves for about ten minutes, and that's it.

You can complement your treatment with organic food supplements made from artichoke and black radish. These two plants are known to promote intestinal comfort. Artichoke helps maintain proper liver function. Black radish, for its part, helps treat digestive disorders.
