Common Fig, Ficus carica
Common Fig Gemmo is a harmonizer for the autonomic nervous system, specifically addressing the connection between the brain and stomach. It slows acid secretion and stomach motility, aiding digestion and stool elimination. It also harmonizes the Central Nervous System, improving the quality of information processed via neurotransmitters, creating a sense of balance and calm.
Why Olena Loves Fig Gemmo
What Fig offers for the brain and digestive system is absolutely unmatched. I especially love how it works at the root of countless symptoms, helping individuals of all ages—from birth onward—achieve balance and relief.
The Fig Tree
Native to the Mediterranean and Southwest Asia, the Fig tree thrives in rocky, well-drained soils and sunny locations but has adapted to a variety of habitats. It is believed to be the first tree cultivated by humans, with evidence tracing back to 5,000 BC in the fertile valleys of the Arabian Peninsula.
Today, finding a truly wild Fig tree is rare. These trees grow to a height of 20–30 feet (6–9 meters), with smooth, light-colored bark and fragrant foliage. They produce an abundance of fruit in three successive crops, a testament to their vitality and resilience.
Within the Restoring Immunity System
Nervous System Support
Fig is ideal for individuals who feel unsafe between the throat and stomach or experience a sense of emotional overwhelm leading to tears or anger. It provides excellent support for those struggling to "digest" emotions that manifest as physical or emotional symptoms.

Fig is suitable for stool types 4.5–7 and all levels of vitality, making it a versatile extract for regulating elimination.
