Boston Ivy Young Shoot - Ampelopsis Veitchii

Boston Ivy is an impressive climbing vine belonging to the Vitaceae family. It climbs by utilizing its tendrils to cling to hard surfaces, anchoring its offshoots and facilitating upward growth. This natural ability to adhere reflects the plant’s potential to address connective tissue disorders and promote proper alignment in growth.

Boston Ivy particularly targets articulating surfaces, such as ligaments, tendons, and synovial membranes. This makes it especially useful in treating inflammatory rheumatic conditions characterized by fibrous thickening.

Phytoembryonic plant medicine, similar to western botanical medicine, relies on the extraction of a variety of plant phytochemicals, nutrients, and energetics to exert therapeutic effects. The plant bud, composed mainly of meristem cells, is the most concentrated and vital part of the plant, since it houses all of a plant's developmental information. Meristem cells are undifferentiated embryological tissue capable of specializing function based on living conditions. Thus, meristem cells are the factory, motor, and blueprints for an immature plant, giving functional instructions to the embryonic tissue, and driving its growth to thrive in a specific environment.
