Description

Hornbeam, Carpinus betulus

Hornbeam Gemmo is a harmonizer for the respiratory system, offering dual actions: thinning mucus as an expectorant and balancing the brain's response to unnecessary coughing. This extract also uniquely supports bone marrow function, stimulating platelet production and improving immunity.

Why Olena Loves Hornbeam Gemmo

I am genuinely amazed by Hornbeam’s ability to enhance communication between the brain and respiratory system. Its results—whether easing unnecessary coughing or healing scar tissue—are truly remarkable.

The Hornbeam Tree

Hornbeam, part of the Betulaceae family (related to Hazel, Birch, and Alder), is a deciduous tree native to Europe and Asia Minor. It grows to heights of 40–60 feet (12–18 meters) and is somewhat pyramidal in shape.

This long-lived tree thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, tolerating urban environments and pollution. Hornbeam produces exceptionally hard timber, often called "ironwood," traditionally used for ox yokes and Roman chariots. Historically, Hornbeam tea has been used to relieve tiredness, bronchitis, coughs, sore throats, flu, and headaches, highlighting its historical role in respiratory health.

Within the Restoring Immunity System

Nervous System Support

Hornbeam has a clear action on the Central Nervous System, although further research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms.

Elimination Support

Hornbeam does not directly affect elimination.

Alkalizing Support

Hornbeam can be included in protocols alongside extracts supporting the nervous system and elimination to:

• Boost Immunity: Supports overall immunity in both children and adults.
• Enhance Bone Marrow Function: Acts as a tonic, raising platelet counts and supporting the production of healthy blood cells.

Acute Applications

Hornbeam is highly effective in protocols addressing respiratory system inflammation, especially when a cough is present. Pair it with supportive extracts like Black Currant and Common Alder for optimal results.
