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.
