Oak, Quercus pedunculata
Oak Gemmo is a potent tonic for the adrenal glands, specifically the adrenal cortex. Rich in antioxidants, it helps protect all systems from the effects of aging. Oak also boosts the functions of the autonomic nervous system, making it highly effective for preventing or resolving depressive symptoms or states.
Why Olena Loves Oak Gemmo
I love the immediate energy and strength that Oak offers the body. There’s really no other Gemmo quite like it when you need that in-the-moment boost. It’s a powerful ally for times when you need to feel strong and resilient.
The Oak Tree
The Oak tree is the majestic ruler of the woods, growing up to 90 feet tall and often living for 1,000 years or more. It thrives in sunny positions and is known as "the tree of light" in some cultures. Though it prefers moist ground, it is adaptable to various soil types.
Oak’s roots grow as deep as the tree is tall, forming an extensive network that helps stabilize the soil. In Druidic traditions, Oak was a sacred tree often worshiped in groves, symbolizing strength, endurance, and resilience. In French, the word for Oak, chêne, is linked to the concept of spirit, similar to the concept of Shen in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Within the Restoring Immunity System
Nervous System Support
Oak boosts the autonomic nervous system, especially in organizing the sympathetic state. It’s particularly helpful during periods of unusual emotional, mental, or physical stress. Those benefiting from Oak may experience physical weakness in the thighs, overall exhaustion, or discomfort in the kidney region when they are struggling with a lack of safety.
Elimination Support
Oak does not have a direct effect on elimination.
Alkalizing Support
Oak is excellent for supporting the adrenal glands, particularly in combination with Black Currant during periods of exhaustion.
Acute Applications
Oak can be used in combination with Black Currant and Sea Buckthorn to support the immune response during the first 24 hours of an acute cold, flu, or virus.
