Bitter thanks – for a good gut feeling
Admittedly, the term “bitter” does not necessarily arouse positive associations in 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.
Old knowledge – proven effect
For many centuries, many cultures have attached great importance to bitter substances in terms of health and have used them as an extremely effective aid to digestion. This support work begins as soon as bitter substances touch our tongue: stomach, gall bladder, pancreas and liver are stimulated by the bitter taste. This stimulation has the effect that not only the liver is supported in its function to break down and excrete undesirable substances, but also tones the gastrointestinal tract. A knowledge that was also practiced by Hildegard von Bingen, the famous abbess, in the Middle Ages and made her famous in Germany.
Bitter training
Due to our modern diet, however, our palate is no longer accustomed to bitter substances and prefers sugar, sweet or salty flavours. And here lies the crux of the matter: the stronger the aversion to bitter substances, the more urgently the organism needs them. Even if it costs overcoming – one is rewarded for this “bitter training”.
A healthy digestive system without annoying heartburn, flatulence or other gastro-intestinal complaints provides more vitality and ultimately quality of life.
