Summertime is cherry time - The healthy power of the Montmorency sour cherry

An old natural remedy with great effects is making a comeback. Cherries have been a particularly tasty food for people since time immemorial. But they also have their place as a medicinal remedy. The fruit is said to have a positive effect when it comes to treating many common ailments.

Hildegard von Bingen wrote about the health-promoting potential of sour cherries and their areas of application more than nine hundred years ago. But the properties of sour cherries had long been forgotten. This changed in the 1950s, when doctors in Michigan/USA made an astonishing observation. At the time of harvest for Montmorency sour cherries, the number of visits to the doctor by patients with chronic pain and joint inflammation decreased disproportionately each year. Based on the historical, folk medicinal use of sour cherries, the interest of several institutes in conventional medicine was then aroused and they carried out investigations and studies on health applications. Against this background, sour cherries again received growing scientific interest.

Over the past fifty years, the ingredients and effects of the Montmorency sour cherry have been intensively researched, as it was found that this type of cherry cannot be compared to conventional sour and sweet cherries. "This cherry has a very special plant profile and can therefore be used for an extremely wide range of applications," explains Tobias Duven, alternative practitioner and author of the book "Montmorency Sour Cherry," which has been republished by Windpferd Verlag. "The effects in areas such as gout and uric acid diseases, inflammation, sleep and sleep disorders, as well as in the field of sport and regeneration are most clearly scientifically proven," reports the author. "The results of this research confirm the positive interaction of the ingredients and their long-term potential effects on human health."

Because of this, the Montmorency cherry is now more valued as a therapeutic aid. For example, its ingredients have been analyzed and it has been found that, in addition to vitamins A and C, these sour cherries also contain a variety of minerals such as potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron and zinc. Research and experience reports show that they contain a high proportion of the sleep hormone melatonin. In addition, this type of sour cherry has an above-average amount of anthocyanins. They give the Montmorency its bright red color. Anthocyanins and other secondary plant substances are considered antioxidants. Sour cherries have therefore proven to be particularly effective in the context of a low-purine diet for gout. Preferably taken as a concentrate, the Montmorency sour cherry is an ideal supplement, as the active ingredients contained are maximized in this form.

Extracts from the Montmorency sour cherry are of great preventive use. They are an essential part of the optimal nutritional management of a sustainable health therapy. For this reason, the family-run health company Cellavent Healthcare from Düsseldorf has extracted the benefits of this type of cherry in two different ways and offers them as a dietary supplement. The company's goal is to research nature's knowledge a little more every day and to combine modern and tried and tested methods.

Under the brand name "Cherry PLUS" there is a 100 percent pure cherry concentrate that contains around 12 kg of cherries per 500 ml bottle. Cherry extract in capsule form is particularly suitable for diabetics and is available in pack sizes of 60 or more. "Cherry PLUS" is available in pharmacies or online from the manufacturer.
