Background and Use
Many Naturopaths believe that the gastrointestinal (GI) system (stomach, intestine, liver, gallbladder and pancreas) is one of the most important systems in the body. The paradigm of "you are what you eat" can better be described as "you are what you digest". Herbalists know that the typical western diet lacks the "bitter principal", providing a diet that is imbalanced by sweet, salty and sour elements. The use of herbal bitters has been an integral part of almost every herbal tradition in the world.
Extensively used in Europe, herbal bitters help enhance digestion by stimulating our taste receptors on the tongue, which subsequently stimulates enzyme production and bile flow. This action promotes healthy nutrient absorption and aids in the digestion of fats. Bitters are especially helpful after consuming fatty, heavy meals to speed the digestion process and eliminate feelings of bloating. The increased stimulation of bile supports the body's natural cleansing process, especially if digestion is sluggish.
