DrenaMei is a "pillar" of the FiordiPelle line, a group of products with lymph-draining, anti-edematous and slimming actions.
Herbal preparations often have a central active ingredient, specific for stimulating and rebalancing precise functions, to which other active ingredients with similar potential are added to make the therapeutic action more powerful. The resulting product, therefore, is an effective officinal collective that, balanced by phytotechnical address, has a range of curative possibilities greater than the single active ingredient and with the valuable function of bringing more useful elements.
A situation with circulatory and lymphatic stagnation finds a valuable help from the assumption of the active principle of Ginkgo Biloba, used for centuries by traditional Chinese medicine for difficulties related to circulation. In order to increase its therapeutic power, it can be harmonized only with other elements that have the same herbal approach. In this way the problem of peripheral circulatory stasis is "defeated" across the board, since the union of the healing potential addresses all facets of the access problem.
Ginkgo Biloba perfectly "marries", for its specific therapeutic functions, with Melilot, Yarrow, Marjoram, Sweet Orange and Grapefruit. From the herbal union of the active principles of these plants comes DrenaMei: a specific product with lymphatic drainage, anti-edematous and slimming action.
Ginkgo Biloba, which can reach 40 meters in height, is a typical oriental plant, with very ancient origins (it has existed for 250 million years) and has undergone little evolution. In ancient China they used the leaves to make tea, while the traditional Italian herbal medicine MEI extracts, from the leaves of wild plants, a valuable active ingredient, with antioxidant properties and very effective for the peripheral circulatory oxygenation. The venous insufficiency and arteriopathies of the lower limbs, for the disorders of capillary permeability, find "comfort" by taking the active ingredient of Ginkgo Biloba, as well as it is valid for the reduction of arteriolar spasms and the prevention of atherosclerosis and Alzheimer´s.
Melilot is a European officinal plant that reaches 80 cm of height and from whose flowering tops and young leaves an active principle with recognized anti-edemigenous, phlebotonic and diuretic properties is obtained. As officinal plant it is indicated for the treatment of peripheral circulatory problems and the traditional herbal medicine MEI uses the active principle for venous and lymphatic insufficiencies, for water retention disorders and for phlebitis. The active principle of Melilot is indicated to fight lymphatic stasis, thrombophlebitis, capillary fragility and ulcers of the lower limbs.
Yarrow (Achillea Millefoglie), well known as a promoter of blood coagulation in wounds (it is so called because the Homeric Achilles used it to close the wounds of Telephus, king of Mysia), has specific properties to fight venous insufficiency of the lower limbs and hemorrhoidal problems. From flowers and leaves is extracted an active principle useful also to treat muscular pains and to regularize the menstrual cycle, as well as depurative, anti allergic and restoring the peripheral circulatory flow.
Marjoram is a Mediterranean plant which prefers lands well exposed to the sun and it is very used in cooking. In traditional herbal medicine it is indicated to fight stress (anxiety, insomnia, irritability) because it has relaxing and sedative effects and because it promotes the reduction of arterial pressure, for vasodilatation, and the st imulation of diuresis. The active principle is extracted from the flowering tops and from the fresh leaves and it is particularly indicated for its precise anti-rheumatic and anti-spastic role.
The Sweet Orange is a plant that can exceed 10 meters in height and whose fruit, with an unmistakable external appearance, has given its name to the most common and annoying imperfection: the "orange peel" skin. The theory of signatures (herbs and medicinal fruits recall the organs or the parts of the body they can cure) puts, therefore, the active principle of Sweet Orange among those which, more than others, can fight circulatory stasis and cellulite. Extracts also have slimming and diuretic properties (from the peel is extracted an anti-adipose and anti-cellulite oil) and, par excellence, it is the fruit which fights water retention.
Grapefruit is an evergreen tree which can be more than 10 meters tall and whose fruits have been part of the usual diet only since the nineteenth century. Among all fruits it is the most indicated as a "fat burner", anticellulitic, antioxidant and, for some schools of thought, the fulcrum of diets.
