Have you guys heard about Swedish bitters? The original Swedish Bitters formula comes from ancient Egypt and was forgotten until the last century when botanist Maria Treben brought it back for us. A blood cleaner, digestive aid, liver tonic and detoxifier all in one?
Good liver function is crucial for overall health. Our life depends on our liver functioning well. A poorly functioning liver causes sluggish digestion, hormonal imbalances and weight loss problems. Bitters stimulate the flow of bile from the liver which, in turn, stimulates your intestines and promotes nutrient absorption.
Benefits of Swedish Bitters tincture or elixir include:
Swedish Bitters often contains angelica, rhubarb, myrrh, aloe, flowering ash and senna leaves along with other herbs. Consult your primary doctor before use, and do not use Swedish bitters if you are a pregnant, nursing, or are vomiting or have diarrhea.
Also, for all the mommies out there, remember that Swedish Bitters extract is great for shortening the length of chickenpox and drying them out.
Choose a good bitters brand. Take one teaspoon in the morning on an empty stomach in a small glass of water and one in the evening after dinner. If you have uncomfortable stomach problems, reduce to just one teaspoon per day, and then try gradually increasing to two.
