Our ingredients and why we chose them:
- Taraxacum officinalis rad (Dandelion root)* - A bitter strengthening digestive tonic that also helps strengthen liver function and gently supports healthy bowel function.
- Gentiana lutea (Gentian root)* - A bitter herb that encourages production of enzymes and acid in the stomach, helping to ensure efficient digestion and good appetite. Interstingly this is an ingredient in angostura bitters, a well known drink used as an aperitif (taken before meals to promote digestion)
- Foeniculum vulgaris (Fennel seed)* - A gentle anti-spasmodic that can help relieve bloating, build up of gas, cramps or colic. It has a mild warming and soothing quality
- Ethanol - herbal tinctures contains ethanol. It is used as a highly effective means to extract the medicinal chemicals from the fresh plants and also preserves the remedy for several years. Adding the tincture to hot water and leaving for a few minutes helps a lot of the alcohol to evaporate.
