Also known as "tall ash," this species of ash tree can grow up to 45 m tall. It can be recognized by its straight, grayish trunk and the black buds on its branches in winter. It is found throughout Europe, Asia, and North America, in cool, moist woods and along rivers.
Name:
Ash
Latin name: Fraxinus excelsior L.
Type: Oleaceae
Origin: Europe, Asia, and North America
Ash (Fraxinus excelsior), a tree belonging to the Oleaceae family, is recognized in herbal medicine for its many benefits. Used for centuries, ash is known for its diuretic, purifying, and anti-inflammatory properties. It promotes the elimination of toxins, supports the kidneys, relieves joint pain, and aids in weight loss programs.
Let's take a closer look at why it deserves its place in a natural treatment and how it affects our bodies.
Ash leaves are rich in active ingredients that stimulate elimination functions. It is one of the most widely used plants in herbal medicine to promote drainage of the body.
Ash acts directly on the kidneys. It increases urine production without irritating the urinary tract. This helps eliminate metabolic waste, uric acid, and excess water. This mechanism is particularly useful in cases of water retention, heavy legs, or mild urinary disorders.
During a detox treatment, the body seeks to rid itself of accumulated toxins. Ash supports this process thanks to its draining effect. It effectively complements the action of birch, artichoke, and dandelion. It is an ideal plant to use in early spring or at each change of season.
Drainage alone is not enough: for a true detox, you also need a purifying action. Ash not only increases urinary elimination, it also acts on toxins circulating in the blood and tissues.
Thanks to its high flavonoid and mannitol content, ash helps eliminate excess uric acid. This relieves pain associated with crystal buildup, particularly in people suffering from gout or joint disorders.
Lymph transports cellular waste. If it does not circulate properly, these toxins accumulate in the tissues. Ash stimulates lymphatic circulation and helps to decongest inflamed areas. It thus relieves feelings of swelling and contributes to better recovery after exercise.
In addition to its draining properties, ash is also known for its anti-inflammatory effects. It soothes joint pain and improves mobility.
Ash leaves contain compounds with properties similar to aspirin, such as salicylic derivatives. These active ingredients relieve chronic joint pain without the side effects of chemical anti-inflammatory drugs. For osteoarthritis or muscle pain, a course of ash treatment provides real relief on a daily basis.
Some people are prone to chronic inflammation: swollen joints, morning stiffness, and widespread pain. By reducing water retention and modulating the inflammatory response, ash addresses the root cause of the problem. It helps restore a feeling of lightness and comfort.
The properties of ash are also useful in weight loss programs. It does not cause weight loss on its own, but it promotes elimination and limits retention, two common obstacles to weight loss.
Many people confuse weight gain with water retention. Ash, thanks to its mild diuretic effect, reduces swelling and helps slim the figure. It is particularly recommended for heavy legs or water retention.
Ash stimulates without exhausting. It does not cause excessive mineral loss. It can therefore be used in treatments lasting several weeks to accompany a dietary rebalancing program. In addition, its anti-inflammatory action limits muscle pain associated with physical activity.
