Ash tree against rheumatism and for more suppleness

Ash, in the form of mother tincture or bud maceration, will therefore prove interesting for rheumatism, gout sufferers, but also in cases of hyperuricemia, kidney stones, oedema and water retention.

Virtues of the ash tree:

This species of ash is the most common among the sixty present in the northern hemisphere. Although it does not like permanently waterlogged soils, the ash favours moist and cool soils, and its presence reveals the presence of water in the soil. It absorbs and releases a lot of water.

Less bright than the birch, its foliage combined with its noble and slender shape makes the ash a tree of great beauty.
Its wood is renowned in cabinetmaking for its strength and flexibility.

If the tree seems to give an image combining suppleness, solidity and durability, it is quite naturally that phytotherapy uses it to help us in our search for greater longevity. Ash leaves get rid of water very quickly and, by analogy with this rapid drying, phytotherapy uses ash to activate diuresis and drainage.

Ash, in the form of mother tincture or bud maceration, will therefore prove interesting for rheumatism, gout sufferers, but also in cases of hyperuricemia, kidney stones, oedema and water retention.

It has also been observed, in ash, sudorific and purgative effects, useful for people whose body no longer seems able to manage water. It will therefore be found associated with blackcurrant in cases of polyarthritis or deforming rheumatism.

Its virtues also make it an ally to fight against weight gain and obesity, accompanied by birch sap and maceration of hazel and chestnut buds (as in the Cellusève complex for example).

Rediscover the nobility of the ash tree in order to protect yourself from the ravages of time and to maintain shape, suppleness and lightness.
