Why Olena Loves Black Currant Gemmo
If I could only pack one Gemmo extract for traveling, it would definitely be Black Currant. It’s incredibly versatile, stepping in to resolve so many inflammatory symptoms that it feels like having a little healer in your pocket.
The Black Currant Shrub
Black Currant shrubs are tough yet nurturing plants that originated in Europe and Asia. They love damp, fertile soils and full sunlight but can’t stand drought. These compact shrubs grow to about 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall and wide.
Their history is rich and fascinating—cultivated as early as the 11th century in Russian monastery gardens, they eventually made their way into Europe. St. Hildegard of Bingen, a renowned German abbess and herbalist, praised Black Currant buds and every part of the plant for their healing properties. By the 17th century, this shrub earned a reputation as a "cure-all," celebrated across the continent.
