Phytoembryotherapy is a branch of phytotherapy that specifically incorporates plant embryological tissues (buds, young shoots, etc.) containing “plant meristem” cells – undifferentiated, fast dividing cells which contain the plant’s genetic blueprint and material. These embryonic tissues are rich in beneficial phyto-chemicals including: growth factors and plant hormones, enzymes, nucleic acids, oligoelements, and phytonutrients such as polyphenols and flavonoids. These embryological tissues are also utilized because many of the above mentioned components are lost in fully developed plants once chlorophyll is formed. These embryological tissues are also utilized because their energetic components are at their highest levels when they are harvested in the spring – the most active phase of the growth cycle.

Blackberry is a thorny plant that grows in uncultivatible regions of France. It is used in respiratory fibrosis and is also a great osteoblastic stimulator.This mechanism of action transfers over to assist in bone remineralization and consolidation post fracture, and in cases of arthrosis and osteoporosis to fortify osseous tissues.
