Is it possible to collect lime juice. Heart-shaped linden - this is not a "linden" for you! Medicinal fees with linden tree
) there were also ampoules with linden tree sap. A similar remedy is quite popular in France, where, along with an extract or tea made from cherry stalks, it is a "grandmother's" recipe for draining excess liquid. Remembering my failure with cherries / cherries, which, well, did not in any way affect this very fluid in my body, I was skeptical about linden, but still took a pack of ampoules for a sample. And imagine what my surprise and joy were when the lime tree worked!
La Gravelline Aubier de Tilleul Bio
The complex consists of 30 glass ampoules with fresh woody, taken from the very core, tree sap, diluted in local mineral water. In some sources, I read that this liquid should be called an extract of the bark, but this does not change the meaning and essence of the product itself. Lindens here are not anyhow, but mountain, from Roussillon, grown in the most environmentally friendly conditions, all organic for selection. The extract is an excellent liquid dispenser, diuretic, and also very useful for the stomach. The package contains 30 ampoules, which must be diluted in a glass of water and drunk 3 times a day.
I started with a similar 10-day course. I must say right away that I did not break the intake into 3 times, but immediately diluted 3 ampoules in a glass of water and drank, in the morning or afternoon, between meals. The effect was not long in coming and turned out to be quite extensive: I did not rush to the toilet too often, but not so rarely, my stomach worked like a clock, and my weight even dropped a little. All 10 days and then almost 2 more weeks, the body worked according to the same schedule, without retaining water, and very effectively exploiting the gastrointestinal tract. Alas, after that, problems with the liquid began again, which was noticed by the face that began to swell and by the absolutely unmotivated weight jumps.
I had to urgently order a few more packs of the miracle linden. And as soon as she arrived, on the second day after the start of the next course, everything returned to its optimal form.
And now I have dilemma: in theory, this is a course that must be done once a season, although no restrictions are indicated in the instructions. On the one hand, I don’t want to sit on diuretics all the time, nevertheless it’s not useful, and on the other hand, it’s not good to retain fluid either! I will try to reduce the number of ampoules, first to two, and then to one, and see the result. Or you will have to conduct a course monthly for 10 days a month and hope that the body will not get used to the effects of linden. But I always have in stock a birch tree and various herbal detox elixirs, which also give a good effect. So, it will be possible to alternate.
Compound:
The tree sap itself is a brown transparent liquid with a slight woody odor and woody taste. It is quite normal to drink it in a divorced state. Nothing unpleasant was found.
Price: € 19.50 per package of 30 ampoules (10-day course).
By the way, according to the Celtic horoscope of trees, I am just a "linden tree", so somewhere deep in my soul, there is a small hope that my tree will not let me down! Well, it's not for nothing that I just adore linden blossom, tea made from it, linden honey and just the scent of flowering linden!
