The Bramble young shoots present in gemmotherapy a similarity with the properties of the leaves, used in classical phytotherapy, namely a pulmonary tropism. They constitute in particular a remedy for emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, chronic bronchitis and for all obstructive respiratory insufficiencies that lead to anergy. The Bramble is thus a long term tonic.
As well in its ecological environment as at the level of our internal body, this plant will restructure the degraded ground. It is thus not surprising to find it back at the level of the osteoarticular system since it has an osteoblastic action. Bramble constitutes a remedy for important deterioration of bone tissue. It will thus strengthen the bone tissue (in particular at the femorotibial level) and combat osteoporosis. Therefore Bramble is a great potential remedy, insufficiently developed, for our "modern" populations and in particular the elderly.
Its activity on fibrosclerotic tissues explains its indication in fibroids and gonarthrosis.
Bramble is also indicated in interstitial nephritis following a pyelonephritis and it makes the uterus sensitive to the action of Vaccinium vitis idaia (Cowberry).
It would be interesting to compare the gemmotherapic properties of Bramble and Vine. These 2 plants have several common points in their type of development and their ecology.
We hypothesize that Bramble, as great pulmonary remedy, is also a great future remedy for the skin.
