| Qualities |
|
When the taste buds experience a bitter flavor, they increase the amount of saliva produced in the mouth, which in turn stimulated the production of more gastric juices. When gastric juices are increased, food is better broken down and the liver, which is responsible for processing fat, and the pancreas, which stimulates the release of insulin, as well as other organs all operate more efficiently. Long used in Europe as a general tonic, bitters have the paradoxical ability to stimulate a poor appetite and tame an overactive one, and as digestion and energy increase people who take bitters regularly appear to begin to develop a preference for healthy, rather than fatty or sugary, foods. Bitters help the gallbladder to make bile, and in conjunction with the liver, cleanse the body by removing toxins from processed foods and environmental pollutants. They are said to strengthen the nervous system and help reduce the effects of stress. Stress reduction means the body does not overproduce cortisol and change the metabolism to deposit fat around the midsection rather than burn it for fuel. Herbs that are considered bitters include Dandelion, Artichoke Leaf, Angelica, Peppermint, Bitter Orange Peek, Lemon Peel, Gentian Root, Tarragon, Hops, Barberry, Boneset, Chamomile, Tansy, Horehound, Yarrow, Blessed Thistle, Motherwort, Goldenseal, Cascara Sagrada, Wormwood and Mugwort. They are sold in various strengths and combinations and some companies will make an individualized formula after a consultation. They are generally prepared as a tincture and taken under the tongue, with a recommendation of taking bitters before meals or just after a meal for several weeks.

| Final Facts |
|
It has been stated that people who have problems with digestion, excessive appetite, bloating, gas, diarrhea and other gastric difficulties may benefit from using bitters, but they are most effective when attention is paid to the types and amount of food that are eaten. Optimizing the diet to include Digestive Bitters may be just the thing to get a dieter on track and healthy.
