100% Certified organic Gentian Root

Gentiana

Gentian is a powerful bitter, and the herb is an essential ingredient of traditional aperitifs and bitters such as Angosture bitters. The customary aperitif about half an hour before a meal is more than a social nicety- the bitter constituents stimulate gastric juices and prime the stomach, enabling it to cope effectively with a heavy meal. Medicinally, gentian strengthens a weak or underactive digestive system.
