Aid Digestion with Bitters - Herbal Medicine
What is a bitter?
A bitter tastes bitter in flavor. Classic bitters are dark chocolate, coffee, dandelion, gentian and greens. Many traditional cultures encourage the inclusion of all 5 flavours in the diet, upon the belief that each flavor has a particular effect on the body. As human beings we have evolved eating food growing in the wild that has a bitter component, such as bitter greens and barks. Our palate has evolved to become acquainted with sweet and salty food and bitterness has become unfamiliar.
What are Bitters for?
Optimising digestive function, digestive bitters are crafted from high quality blends of certified organic Vermont herbs and roots and are complimented by select exotics. Digestive bitters prime digestion while refreshing the palate with passionate flavour.Employing a gentle and calming formula, digestive bitters are recommended for occasional morning sickness and stress-related digestive issues.
Use of Digestive Bitters
Engaging the digestive system, Bitters alert the body through taste. To stimulate healthy digestion, enjoy approximately ¼ teaspoon (1.2 mL) of our bitters before or after meals, or to curb a sugar craving (not to exceed 8 times per day)! Start small in your serving. Everyone's body is different, and many people find that a very small serving can be quite sufficient. If the bitter taste is especially rare in your diet, your digestion will fire up with just a very small amount of the bitters. Use the mouth spray for a convenient way to spritz the bitters directly on the tongue.
