Corylus Avellana – Hazel tree

Ecology and Phytosociology 

A widespread species, the common hazel seeks fresh, soft, fertile soil. Hearty, light-demanding and fast-growing. Recommended as an underplant to improve and neutralize acidic soils. It grows between alder and oak stands, confirming its palynologic situation, and can also be found in alder-poplar stands, oak stands and ruderal elm stands.

• Anti-sclerotic, treats arteritis of the lower limbs that can lead to gangrene.
• Restores the elasticity of bronchial tissue (emphysema, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis).
• Anti-anemic, acts on erythropoiesis, helps treat hypochromic or microcytic anemia resulting from digestive disorders, cirrhoses or digestive bleeding.
• Anti-cirrhotic action, nonascitic alcohol-related cirrhosis or non-aggressive, post-hepatic sequelae.
• Used with the leaves (IX), the buds act on circulatory blockages (pulmonary stasis, edema of the lower limbs), varicose or necrotic ulcers.
• Constipation and irregularity.

Action

• On the myelogram: Stimulates the erythropoiesis and granulopoiesis
• On coagulation: Regulates moderate thrombophilia.
