This plant is one of the species traditionally planted in the vegetable gardens of our countryside for a popular medicinal aspect which has survived to this day. Blackcurrant was already recommended by Hildegard of Bingen in the 12th century and in numerous treatises, notably by the Abbot of Montaran in 1712 under the name of elixir of life. A true panacea, blackcurrant was believed to promote human longevity. It is its fruits and its leaves which are often used; it is in the buds that we find the most powerful virtues. The buds naturally contain the beginnings of leaves and fruits and contain, in a latent state, all the potential of the adult plant.
Joint system
Thanks to its cortisone-like action, blackcurrant bud macerate is above all a powerful anti-rheumatic and thus inflammatory agent. In fact, it successfully replaces classic anti-inflammatories (cortisone) without presenting harmful side effects in the long term. The flexibility of ligaments and tendons is improved and it contributes to the consolidation of fractures.
Respiratory system
It is a great ENT remedy, effective in asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, allergic rhinitis. Blackcurrant will be given as a primary remedy in all allergic conditions.

Due to the presence of numerous flaboinoids, blackcurrant exerts an anti-inflammatory, phlebotonic and vascular-protective action on the blood level, particularly on the wall of the endothelium.

A Yang plant, it is particularly suitable for tired people lacking energy, because it stimulates the endocrine glands and combats drowsiness.
