Herbal Bitters

Everything in this world appears to have an opposite—light and darkness, good and evil, love and hate, and, of course, bitter and sweet. If you’re normal, you probably prefer the taste of sweet and avoid the taste of bitter. However, if your health has gone sour, too much sweet may be to blame, and small amounts of bitter herbs may be just what you need to restore health (and sweetness) to life. Bitter-tasting herbs have numerous benefits that we need in modern culture. For starters, millions of people suffer from digestive upset—acid indigestion, GERD (heartburn), gas, bloating, and other digestive problems. Bitter herbs may be the answer to their troubles. Bitters became popular as digestive aids in Europe as early as the 1600s, when trade opened up with China. The Chinese have been using bitters to improve digestion for more than 5,000 years.

Bitter herbs can also aid the liver in detoxifying our body, something that is vitally important because of all the chemicals we’re exposed to in modern life. Bitters can also aid elimination in general, making them one of the most critical components of herbal cleansing programs. As detoxification and elimination improve, people find they have greater mental clarity, more energy, fewer aches and pains and improved general health. Bitters can even help with weight loss. Of course, one can get too much of any good thing, so there are some situations where bitters aren’t helpful, but we’ll tell you all about when bitters are needed and when they aren’t in this month’s herbal hour.

So join us as we share with you the healing properties of bitter herbs and explain how adding some herbal bitters to your life can sweeten your health.
