Macerate 02 in apricot kernel oil 200ml

Macerate 02 is an oil preparation in which ginger, parsley, cinnamon and hawthorn are soaked in apricot kernel oil.

For six weeks, the plants are immersed in cold-pressed apricot kernel oil, which "binds" their medicinal properties, i.e. macerates them. 

By taking 2-3 teaspoons a day (before meals), you get the best from the synergy of carefully selected herbs and apricot oil.

What does science say

• According to literal data and the pharmacopoeia, HAWTHORN contains procyanidins, flavones, tannins, ascorbic acid and acts as a heart tonic, coronary vasodilator, hypotensive and antisclerotic. That is exactly why it is used to strengthen the heart, in hypertension and angina pectoris (1,2,3).

• According to the pharmacopoeia, GINGER acts as a carminative and diuretic (4)

• PARSLEY has its own aromatic smells and according to the pharmacopoeia it contains essential oil, acting as a diuretic, carminative, expectorant, antirheumatic and antimicrobial and is used in cystitis, dysuria, bronchitis... (5,6,7,8)

• CINNAMON and its scents and aromas act as an antispasmodic, carminative, corrigent... (9,10)

• APRICOT OIL contains almost no amygdalin at all (amygdalin is found exclusively in the membrane of the apricot kernel) and therefore has no anticancer properties, but it is a very good nutritive oil. (11,12)

Macerated

Plants and their unique properties can help us with various ailments. It is up to us to use this medicinal plant in the best possible way.

We can pour hot water over it or boil it in it to get the so-called decoction, infusion or simply tea, and we can soak the same herbs in alcohol and get the so-called tinctures. The third way of extracting the active medicinal principles of the "soul" of the plant itself is the production of oil macerates.
