Note: It is always advisable to consult a specialist before starting any herbal treatment.

Fig tree heritage

The fig tree, known by its scientific name Ficus carica, is a fruit tree with roots in the Mediterranean basin and Central Asia. It is remarkable not only for its succulent fruit, but also for its buds, which are transformed into a glycerine macerate with health benefits.

Fig tree botanical profile

Fig trees are generally small, measuring between three and four meters. In optimal conditions, however, some can reach a stature of 8 meters. With its twisted trunk, this bushy tree is distinguished by the irritating white latex present in its leaves, twigs and fruit. The rough leaves, up to 25 cm long, have a deeply divided palmately lobed blade. As for the fruit, figs come in a variety of hues, from greenish to dark purple.

The Power of Glycerine Macerate

Thanks to a process of maceration in a mixture of alcohol and glycerine, fresh fig buds yield a precious liquid called mother-macerate. Once filtered and diluted, this becomes 1D glycerol macerate or MG 1D, a concentrate rich in benefits. In particular, they are prepared in Hahnemanian dilutions to the first decimal place (1 DH), with a few exceptions.

Therapeutic properties of Ficus Carica

Nervous system:
One of Ficus carica's major assets is its ability to regulate emotionality. It is often recommended to treat various psychosomatic disorders, reducing stress and anxiety by harmonizing the nervous system.
