Ash – Buds
 
Key notes:
For acute and chronic gout and hyperuricemia
Diuretic
Inflammation modulation
Liver and Ki drainage
 
Therapeutic actions:
Fraxinus excelsior (Ash buds): the suppleness and flexibility of Fraxinus excelsior’s wood is curiously similar to certain medicinal properties of its bud preparation in gemmotherapy, namely its action on ligaments.
Osteoarticular and kidney tropism has analgesic and anti-inflammatory action (increases adrenal production of cortisol which explains its anti-inflammatory action and its effect on the stress hormones adrenaline and nor-adrenaline) on synovial level and has anti-inflammatory properties on ligaments in general.
Lowers uric acid and cholesterol levels. It also has liver and kidney drainage properties.
Fraxinus excelsior can be considered as a potential anti-rheumatic remedy, which is not yet currently mentioned in literature. Other interesting properties at bud level that are worth investigating include: trapping free radicals, depurative, febrifugal and prostate protecting properties.

Gemmotherapy is a branch of phytotherapy that uses buds and young shoots of trees and shrubs. Gathered in the spring at a key stage of their natural growth cycle, buds and young shoots are freshly handpicked and put in maceration in a solution of water, alcohol and glycerin to extract all their active principles.
