The importance of local purchase! Medicinal plants cultivated in Quebec are more expensive, but the quality is exceptional. Our herbalists make them dry whole (with some exceptions), in the rules of the art. The plants are cultivated here and do not have to travel (polluting transport) from a distance to your home. In addition, they are always freshly dried. Paying a little more to encourage our producers from here, it's worth the investment!

Properties : Chaga is a medicinal fungus and a super food. It contains many antioxidants, is rich in vitamin B, enzymes and minerals. It also contains flavonoids (anti-inflammatory drugs) and phenols (antiseptics). It prevents the aging of the organization in general and is considered an adaptogen. Medicinal fungi have an interest in being transformed into a decoction. In the case of Chaga, you can make it a "coffee" (1 tablespoon per cup of water) and reinfuse it a second time. Medicinal fungi are effective when taking them over several months.

Consultations

When you take internal plants for specific health problems, we strongly advise you to consult a therapist herbalist to obtain a health assessment, personalized, safe and efficient treatment, then follow -up.

You can contact Marie-Christine Vallières, herbalist, at ecolelesamesfleurs@gmail.com To make an appointment for a private consultation in videoconference ($ 80).

Plant powders uses: In capsules, in food, in smoothie, in pastilles and energy balls, then externally (cosmetics, ointments, poultices). Unless exceptional, plant powders are not soluble in water, although several molecules they contain. For better results, it is preferable to extract these molecules in water, alcohol, or even in oil (some molecules are fat -soluble). For more information, theSchool Souls Flowers offer an introductory workshop and à la carte lesson on the manufacture of therapeutic products.
