INTRODUCTION TO HERBALGEM GEMMOTHERAPY

Dr. Pol Henry, a Belgian doctor, was the first to conduct comprehensive research on the therapeutic properties of buds. He started treating patients with bud extracts in the 1960s and published his research and clinical findings in 1970, calling this new therapy “Phyto-embryotherapie”. The discipline was further elaborated on and developed by a French homeopath, Dr. Max Tetau, and other Belgian and French doctors, Dr. Tetau also changed the name to “Gemmotherapy”, the name by which it is now universally known. Gemmotherapy derives from the Latin “gemmae” meaning both bud of a plant and a precious stone (after germination).
