Allergies, fatigue, excess weight, stress... This little berry is ideal for your health! Discover the benefits of blackcurrant:
Blackcurrant is able to calm irritations:
Rich in flavonoids, anthocyanins, and tannins, blackcurrant has astringent (able to tighten 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 cases of colds or flu.
Also, while 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 blackcurrant 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, thus reducing their sensitivity to allergens.
Blackcurrant is an anti-fatigue:
The small berry is rich in vitamin C and can therefore promote the absorption of iron present in fruit. In short, 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 you 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.
And...A good source of fiber:
Each 100 grams of berries contains 5.5 grams of fiber. Blackcurrant actively contributes to the normal functioning of digestive tracts and is an excellent remedy for treating constipation. Therefore, it can promote good intestinal hygiene and reduce the risk of colon cancer. In addition, its fiber is not digested by the body, so it does not provide any calories but contributes to satiety.
