Chasselas and well-being
The therapeutic virtues of chasselas
The chasselas is no compromise; even though it is a grape, it possesses diuretic qualities, aids in digestion and the elimination of toxins.
Especially rich in vitamins A, B and C and low in fatty proteins, the chasselas grape is an excellent antioxidant, contributing to the elimination of “bad” cholesterol. It helps prevent cardiovascular illnesses.
The chasselas grape contains all the micronutrients that can be assimilated by the body, lavishing upon it all of its remineralising properties.
The grape cure and taking care of the body
In 1925 Moissac became a centre of the grape cure (“cure uvale” from the Latin uva = raisin). For grape cures and the treatment of various ailments, Moissac created an uvarium, a place dedicated to healing.
Today Moissac has teamed up with local growers to highlight the use of the chasselas grape for cures and skincare.
Different types of stays are proposed, including grape cures for dietetic reasons or for skin and facial care based upon the use of chasselas grape pulp.
The intensive and methodical consumption of chasselas grapes purifies the body and helps renew the cells. Treatments with the chasselas grape nourish and revitalize the face and skin.
