Without a healthy digestive system, our bodies cannot properly break down and absorb the food and nutrients we eat on a daily basis. Digestive bitters help stimulate the production of your body’s digestive juices by sending a signal to digestive organs. This starts the digestive process, enabling the body to function efficiently at breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste. 

Chronic stress has a way of wearing down the body. When we suffer from chronic stress, our body’s response is to shut down/delay the digestive process. This can lead to many temporary and long-term health issues including, malabsorption and malnutrition indigestion, gas, bloating, constipation and skin issues like eczema and acne. Bitters also stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system response, allowing us to recover from stress, relax, and digest. 

With improved digestion, you’ll likely experience fewer digestive symptoms, improved mood and energy, clearer skin, better immune function and circulation, regular bowel movements and improved nutrient levels.   

It’s safe to say, health begins and ends with proper digestion; it is the most important factor in improving your physical and mental health. 

Herbalist's Message

As with any natural or herbal product, the key is consistency and patience. People are used to quick fixes and that approach is just not the case when trying to make the changes necessary for a healthier lifestyle.

People who use herbs as symptom-relieving remedies will often be disappointed as most herbs don't target specific biochemical reactions to create rapid changes. Instead, herbs work with the body in extremely complex ways to bring about balance in the body. 

It is important to note that herbs will not make up for lack of sleep, dehydration or a diet filled with processed and refined foods.

There is no way to know any particular body will react to any substance. When you are taking herbs, you are your own primary care giver and you must be vigilant of your own health.  Consult with an herbalist or primary care provider and do your research, so that you can become an knowledgable and compassionate caretake of your own body.
