CONT

Connu et utilisé depuis deux millénaires en Orient, le bois de velours, tiré des bois du cerf rouge et de l'élan (wapiti), fait maintenant de plus en plus parler de lui en Occident. Selon la médecine traditionnelle chinoise, le bois de velours nourrit l'énergie des reins, ce qui agit directement sur la croissance, les performances athlétiques, la reproduction, le système squelettique, la circulation sanguine et la concentration mentale, bref sur la santé en général.
