Bitter Thanks – for a Good Gut Feeling
Admittedly, the word “bitter” does not necessarily conjure up positive associations for any of us. But as is so often the case, it is not the sweet temptations that are beneficial to our health, but the often unpopular and unjustly neglected substances such as bitter herbs.
Ancient Knowledge – Proven Effectiveness
For many centuries, many cultures have valued bitter substances for their health benefits and have used them to aid digestion. This support begins as soon as the bitter touches our tongue: the stomach, gall bladder, pancreas and liver are stimulated by the bitter taste. This stimulation not only supports the liver in its function of breaking down and eliminating undesirable substances, but also tones the gastrointestinal tract. This knowledge was practiced by Hildegard von Bingen, the famous abbess of the Middle Ages, and made her famous in Germany.
Bitter Education
Due to our modern diet, however, our palates are no longer accustomed to bitter substances, preferring sugar, sweet or salty flavors. And this is the crux of the matter: the stronger the aversion to bitter substances, the more urgently the organism needs them. Even if it is costly to overcome, this “bitter training” will be rewarded.
A healthy digestive system without annoying heartburn, flatulence or other gastrointestinal discomfort provides more vitality and, ultimately, quality of life.
