The benefits of blackcurrant

Allergies, fatigue, excess weight, stress... the health benefits of this little berry are ideal!

Blackcurrant is able to calm irritations:

Rich in flavonoids, anthocyanins and tannins, blackcurrant has astringent (capable of tightening tissues) and antibacterial properties. Therefore, it is suitable for treating irritated digestive mucous membranes. It can reduce diarrhea caused by antibiotics prescribed for gastritis (inflammation of the stomach). It is also useful in case of colds or flu.

Also, even though berries help the body eliminate bacteria or viruses, they also limit their reproduction." As for blackcurrant floral water, applying it to the skin can relieve allergies and irritations. In addition, blackcurrant contains salicylate (aspirin) which can relieve pain.

Blackcurrant prevents seasonal allergies:

Our grandmothers already used it for this purpose, although black currant does not directly affect histamine, a substance that causes an allergic reaction. Another advantage: its berries are rich in manganese, a trace element that strengthens the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, reducing their sensitivity to allergens.

Blackcurrant is an anti-fatigue:

The small berry is rich in vitamin C and can thus promote the assimilation of iron present in fruits. In summary, blackcurrant strengthens our immune defenses. It is also an excellent antibacterial agent and helps fight minor infections.

Blackcurrant is also anti-stress:

In fact, if we infuse blackcurrant leaves, they will promote the secretion of cortisol, a hormone that interferes with stressful situations and promotes the activity of the sympathetic nervous system.

A good source of fiber:

Every 100 grams of berries contains 5.5 grams of fiber. Black currant actively participates in the normal functioning of digestive transport and is an excellent medicine for treating constipation. Therefore, it can promote good intestinal hygiene and reduce the risk of colon cancer. In addition, its fibers are not digested by the body, so they do not provide any calories but contribute to satiety.
