How to use it?
- Apply a mini-drop (always diluted in a mild vegetable oil such as apricot kernel or calendula oil) to dry or slightly irritated areas.
- For a light exfoliating effect, mix it with a little honey or aloe vera.
Always do a test beforehand on a small area: some sensitive skin may react.
Important: Sap can increase sensitivity to the sun. Avoid exposure after application and rinse thoroughly before going out.
Digestion: a plant-based touch for newfound comfort
The enzymes present in the sap, especially ficin, are said to be beneficial to digestion by promoting better protein breakdown. Some traditional uses use it to relieve mild digestive discomfort.
Our advice:
- If you opt for a ready-to-eat sap (marketed by certified brands), always seek the advice of a health professional.
- Start with a minimal dose, diluted in water or juice, never pure.
- Combine it with a diet rich in fibre (fruits, vegetables, whole grains) to optimise its effects.
In the fresh version, the sap should never be ingested without medical supervision. It is strongly recommended to reserve it for external use.
Overall well-being: a little routine full of antioxidants
Like all plants rich in antioxidant compounds, fig sap can be part of a gentle and natural prevention approach. It helps neutralize free radicals – the famous invisible aggressors of our body.
To integrate into your well-being routine:
- As a skin care product to revive the radiance of the complexion.
- In addition to a varied, colourful and balanced diet (berries, vegetables, oilseeds, etc.).
- In a moment of relaxation in a “home ritual” style to reconnect with nature.
Safe instructions for use at home
Like any active substance, fig sap requires a few precautions:
- Always dilute it before use (in water or mild vegetable oil).
- Never apply to an open wound or damaged skin.
- Store fresh sap in the refrigerator and use it within 48 hours maximum.
- Prefer a harvest from an untreated fig tree grown without chemicals.
And of course, if you are prone to allergies or a particular skin sensitivity, seek professional advice before you start.
Sometimes the most beautiful treasures are hidden in the simplest things.
