This book is not about using gemstones for healing. The word gemmotherapy is derived from the Latin "gemma," (bud), and Greek "therapeia" (medical treatment). Gemmotherapy is a modern medical intervention focusing on the cause of disease. Its remedies are a type of extremely potent herbal products manufactured principally from embryonic tissue of various trees and shrubs; but also from seeds, catkins, rootlets, and sap. This book is about scientifically-based, real medicine and powerful therapeutic agents. It is a must read for professional or laypeople who want to know about gemmotherapy and oligotherapy! It serves at the core of a college curriculum designed for medical doctors, naturopaths, and other healthcare professionals in mainstream and complementary and alternative medicines. It is a fascinating, well written book providing readers with valuable reference tables and data about how to confidently and effectively incorporate gemmotherapy into a clinical or consultation-based practice.

With a review title like "Very helpful, easy to use, with lots of good information," you may wonder why I didn't give the book five stars. I'll get to that in a moment (if I could have given the book four-and-a-half stars, I would have). First, about Gemmotherapy.

Gemmotherapy, developed in the 1950s, is not about gems. It refers to an entire class of remedies from plants. "Gemmo" is from the Latin "gemmae," meaning "buds" (it used to be called "phytoembryotherapy").

Strictly speaking, Gemmotherapy is not herbology because it utilizes extracts from the developing tissues of trees and shrubs. The creator of this therapy, Belgian doctor Pol Henry, called Gemmotherapy "Embryo Phytotherapy." This referred to the potential energy in the embryonic tissue of plants. The parts of the wildcrafted or organic plants that are harvested include the buds, young shoots and rootlets. It is in this key growth cycle of a plant that contains all the vibrant growth energy and vitality. The potent phytochemical nutrients, genetic information, and potential biological energy of any mature plant are contained in its newborn embryonic plant tissue. In fact, many of a plant's most active principles are present solely during its growth cycle. Therefore, any person or animal utilizing Gemmotherapy receives growth hormones, oligoelements, flavonoids, vitamins, enzymes, and more. No wonder Gemmotherapy can rightly be termed "plant stem cell therapy." It is truly powerful!

Some people consider Gemmotherapy a synthesis between herbology and homeopathy. The plants are tinctured and potentized (in alcohol and glycerin) when in bud form, which is during the most potent growth spurt for the plant. Gemmotherapy remedies stimulate the excretory organs---including the liver, kidneys and skin---thus helping them excrete toxins, including those liberated by homeopathic remedies, so that the toxins reach the exterior of the body and finally drain. "Drainage" is a good word to describe the dynamics of how Gemmotherapy works. The detoxification of the organs is gentle, but steady.

In addition to detoxifying, Gemmotherapy also nourishes and rejuvenates. This includes reversing the effects of aging, increasing energy levels, reducing stress, enhancing the immune response, and improving vision and organ function.

Gemmotherapy tinctures utilize not only the buds, but also the rootlets and bark. The glycerin makes them taste quite nice, and you can actually taste the plant in the tincture (dog rose, rosemary, black currant, etc.). I have used six Gemmotherapy remedies for myself and four for my dogs. They work! The action is slow and gentle. People who are sensitive to energy will feel elevated and stronger right away. Those who are not as sensitive may notice positive changes anywhere from a week to several weeks. My dogs, who weren't told anything about Gemmotherapy and haven't read Speroni's book, were noticeably better in about three weeks (itchy skin and poor digestion improved).

People in the United States often wonder why they haven't heard of Gemmotherapy. Since it originated in France, until recently all the Gemmotherapy literature was in French or German, but not English. The author of this book, naturopath Anthony Speroni, has done English-speaking people an enormous service by writing a readable, usable book in English.

Some of the book's chapters do not relate to Gemmotherapy per se, but to toxins, the process of detoxification and cleansing, water and the kidneys, mineral therapy (he calls it Oligotherapy) and trace elements, essential oils, probiotics, and foods. The author explains that this information is important, and I agree. While using Gemmotherapy tinctures alone can certainly help, also providing the body with proper nutrition and other building blocks allows the Gemmotherapy tinctures to more fully do their job.

The chapters in the book that actually deal with Gemmotherapy are very well laid out. Over 100 pages of tables list the Latin name of the remedy, the common name, and the conditions that the tinctures help heal. The three types of tables are all cross-referenced, so you can look up the remedy by its Latin name, by its common name, or find the remedy you need by looking up the symptoms or medical condition that you want to address. This is extremely useful.

The reason for one star off the five-star rating lies in the extraordinary number of typos and a major ambiguity in these tables (as well as in, to a lesser extent, the rest of the text). It's not just that these flaws detract; there is one confusing issue that I hope is addressed in the next printing. There are two Gemmotherapy remedies that contain the name "Birch": White Birch and Common Birch. These are two different types of trees. Yet, in the tables, in many of the entries Speroni doesn't specify which Birch he's talking about. The reader is left to guess which remedy to use. One is then obliged to look up the information elsewhere---either read the entire 100+ pages of tables, and extrapolate the answer, or look online. But this wastes time. At $50 a copy, there's no excuse for such a mistake. Other, comparatively minor annoyances include misspelling "Hornbeam," which sometimes appears in the book as "Hornbean," and "Black Current," which should be spelled "Black Currant" but is misspelled in the book half the time. ("Current" refers to electricity and "Currant" is the fruit.) As an author myself of a reference manual on holistic health and electromedicine, The Rife Handbook of Frequency Therapy and Holistic Health, these kinds of mistakes annoy me, especially when the errors interfere with the use of the therapy.

Despite the mistakes, however, those who are intrigued by Gemmotherapy and want to learn more---and especially need to practically apply and use the remedies---will find this book to be an invaluable resource and a welcome addition to their library.
