HerbiGOLD: Your soothing herbal bitter for natural digestion & well-being
Bitter substances have almost disappeared from our modern diet, yet they were once an indispensable part of conscious eating culture. As early as the medieval monastery gardens, plants grew whose bitter substances were valued for balance, mindfulness, and digestive power.
HerbiGOLD brings this knowledge into the present. The fine herbal bitter combines 14 flowers, leaves, and roots of traditionally used herbs from gentian and wormwood to lemon balm, galangal, and hawthorn. The plants are gently macerated in alcohol and filtered through a gold sieve to preserve their fine, harmonious character.
While classic bitter substances like gentian and wormwood form the foundation, warming roots like galangal and calamus provide balancing spiciness. Licorice softens the intense bitterness, lemon balm and hawthorn bring gentle balance. Aromatic seeds like anise and caraway round off the taste—for a harmonious overall picture that unites all facets of monastery medicine.
The result: A bitter elixir that naturally supports balance, lightness, and well-being—as a modern aperitif with history.
When HerbiGOLD is particularly useful:
- Before rich, fatty or unfamiliar meals
- While traveling, during restaurant visits, or in the holiday season
- With a bitter-poor, modern diet high in sweets and processed foods
- In the cold season, when fewer fresh bitter herbs are available
- As a daily ritual before eating—for conscious enjoyment and mindfulness
- For those who want to intentionally integrate bitter substances into their diet
Why we developed HerbiGOLD:
HerbiGOLD was created out of the desire to make the natural power of bitter substances accessible again: in pure, plant-based form, without sugar, flavors, or compromises.
At dr.reinwald, health begins with digestion, and it begins in the mouth. With HerbiGOLD, the circle of our product philosophy is complete: A herbal bitter elixir that naturally accompanies the body and complements conscious nutrition.
The inspiration comes from natural monastery medicine: herbs that have stood for balance, awareness, and enjoyment for centuries. HerbiGOLD brings this knowledge back to the table—as a fine herbal companion for conscious nutrition and natural lightness.
When taking bitter substances, people often think of gentian and wormwood, but hardly anyone considers controlled wild growth, gold filtration, and the 14 synergistically balanced herbs that make the difference.
Here’s what you should look for when buying a bitter herb aperitif:
Do the herbs come from controlled wild growth instead of conventional cultivation?
Are they gently extracted with alcohol instead of freeze-dried or pulverized?
Does the product contain whole plant extracts instead of plant powder mixtures?
Is the product free from additives, flavorings, and fillers?
Was it gently produced and gold-filtered?

How the Herbs in HerbiGOLD Complement Each Other
Tradition Meets Synergy
Monastic medicine knew it centuries ago: herbs do not unleash their greatest power alone, but in harmonious interplay. Our formula follows this ancient knowledge and combines 14 herbs from controlled wild growth – each with its own role, all attuned to each other. Bitter substances need balance, sharpness needs sweetness, tradition needs balance. For your body, which deserves complete solutions.
HerbiGOLD combines the classic bitter herbs of monastic medicine with warming, balancing, and aromatic companions – for optimal development of the bitter substances.
The Main Herbs in Detail:
- Gentian Root (Gentiana lutea)
The queen of bitter substances – appreciated for centuries in monastic medicine for its intensely bitter ingredients. Gentian is traditionally used before meals and is considered one of the bitterest plants in Europe. - Wormwood Herb (Artemisia absinthium)
A classic bitter herb with a distinctive aroma, already described by Hildegard of Bingen as a valuable plant. Wormwood contains natural bitter substances (absinthin) and essential oils. - Artichoke Leaves (Cynara scolymus)
Traditionally valued for their bitter substances (cynarin) and secondary plant compounds. Artichoke has been used in Mediterranean cuisine since ancient times and complements the classic bitter herbs. - Dandelion Root with Herb (Taraxacum officinale)
One of the best-known wild plants in Europe, traditionally used for its bitter substances and inulin. Dandelion grows in the wild and has been appreciated in folk medicine for centuries. - Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra)
Brings balancing sweetness to the formula and softens the intense bitterness. Licorice has been valued since ancient times and gives HerbiGOLD its harmonious note. - Galangal Root (Alpinia officinarum)
A warming root from traditional monastic medicine, which Hildegard of Bingen called the “spice of life.” Galangal complements the bitter substances with its spicy-hot essential oils.
Ingredients:
Water, ethyl alcohol, plant extracts
Content:
100 ml aperitif | 33% alcohol by volume
Special Feature:
All herbs come from controlled wild growth and are filtered through a gold sieve – for a clear, finely bitter taste without excessive suspended particles.
Your Daily Bitter Ritual for Balance and Lightness:
Take a mindful moment each day and enjoy 10 to 30 drops of HerbiGOLD about 10 minutes before a meal – either pure or diluted with some still water. Let the drops linger briefly in your mouth so the bitter substances can unfold through the oral mucosa. This small moment of mindfulness prepares your body for the meal, in the spirit of ancient monastic medicine.
Tip: Many enjoy HerbiGOLD pure, directly on the tongue, as this allows the fine bitter taste to unfold most intensely. If the bitter taste is too strong for you at first, you can also dilute the drops with some still water (about 50–100 ml). Over time, you will find the taste pleasant and balancing. This is a sign that your body appreciates the bitter substances.
When is best? HerbiGOLD is particularly suitable before hearty meals, for lunch or dinner, or as a traditional aperitif before festive occasions. It is also a faithful companion when traveling or during phases of unfamiliar diets.

Product Background
Why Bitter Substances and Traditional Monastic Knowledge Are More Important Than Ever
Do you sometimes feel sluggish, bloated, or uncomfortably full after eating? This could be because bitter substances have almost completely disappeared from our modern diet. Yet, for centuries, they were an integral part of a conscious eating culture. In the monastic gardens of the Middle Ages, medicinal plants like gentian, wormwood, and artichoke grew, whose bitter substances were valued for digestive power, inner balance, and well-being.
The famous abbess and healer Hildegard of Bingen described bitter substances as a valuable source of strength and balance as early as the 12th century. Today, modern research confirms: Bitter substances activate receptors on the tongue and in the digestive tract, which have been part of our natural diet for millennia.
The Problem: Bitter Substances Have Disappeared from Our Diet
Through breeding and industrial processing, bitter flavors have been systematically removed from vegetables, salads, and herbs. Chicory, radicchio, and arugula are bred to be milder, grapefruit tastes sweeter, and even broccoli contains fewer bitter substances today than it did 50 years ago. The result: Our palate is no longer accustomed to the bitter taste, and our body misses it.
It holds true: The greater the aversion to bitter substances, the more urgently the body needs them. Bitter substances stimulate the production of saliva, gastric juices, and digestive enzymes as soon as they come into contact with the tongue. They support fat digestion, promote a balanced intestinal environment, and contribute to a good gut feeling—naturally, without additives or compromises.
The Solution: HerbiGOLD – Tradition Meets Modern Quality
HerbiGOLD brings the power of bitter substances back to the table: as a finely bitter herbal liqueur that combines traditional monastic recipes with modern quality standards. The recipe is based on the knowledge of Hildegard of Bingen and combines 14 carefully selected herbs from controlled wild growth—from gentian and wormwood to artichoke and blessed thistle, to lemon balm, galangal, and hawthorn.
Why controlled wild growth? Plants from wild collection develop a significantly higher concentration of bitter substances and secondary plant compounds than plantation goods. They grow in their natural environment, without pesticides or fertilizers—and thus unfold their full plant power.
The herbs are gently macerated in alcohol to fully capture both fat- and water-soluble ingredients. Subsequently, HerbiGOLD is filtered through a gold sieve—an elaborate process that ensures exceptional clarity and a mild, finely bitter taste. This creates a bitter elixir without the sharp bitterness of many conventional products.
What Makes HerbiGOLD Special:
- Traditional recipe with 14 herbs and plants: Inspired by the monastic medicine of Hildegard of Bingen: Gentian, wormwood, centaury, blessed thistle, artichoke, lemon balm, hawthorn, galangal, calamus root, caraway, anise, licorice, chicory root, and peppermint work synergistically together.
- Controlled wild growth instead of plantation cultivation: Higher active ingredient density, natural growth, no pesticides—for maximum plant power.
- Gold-filtered for mild taste: Many bitter preparations contain sweeteners, flavors, or colorings. HerbiGOLD stands for pure plant power—without compromises.
- Made in Germany, vegan, cruelty-free: Manufactured in Germany according to the highest quality standards, free from animal components and without animal testing.
- 33% alcohol by volume as a natural carrier: The alcohol naturally preserves the valuable bitter substances—without synthetic preservatives.
How to Integrate HerbiGOLD into Your Daily Life
The ideal time for HerbiGOLD is about 10 minutes before a meal—as a conscious moment of mindfulness. Take 10 to 30 drops pure or diluted with a little still water and let them work briefly in your mouth. This way, the bitter substances can already unfold their effect through the oral mucosa.
HerbiGOLD is particularly suitable before hearty meals, when traveling, with changed eating habits, or if you want to consciously reintroduce bitter substances into your diet. In traditional monastic medicine, bitter substances were used daily as a fixed part of the eating culture—not as a short-term measure, but as a natural companion for well-being and balance.
HerbiGOLD – Tradition for Modern Lightness
HerbiGOLD combines centuries-old knowledge with modern quality: An aperitif that appeals to both body and senses, honors tradition, and is contemporary at the same time. For those who appreciate natural purity, plant power, and conscious enjoyment—and who understand that true balance arises when nature and tradition go hand in hand.
HerbiGOLD. A drop of monastic wisdom for your daily well-being.
FAQ & Frequently Asked Questions about HerbiGOLD and Bitter Substances
Bitter compounds are natural plant substances found in herbs, roots, and leaves. They activate bitter receptors on the tongue and in the digestive tract and have been valued in traditional diets for centuries. In our modern diet, they have largely disappeared: HerbiGOLD brings them back in their natural, plant-based form.
Ideally, 10 to 30 drops about 10 minutes before the meal – pure or diluted with a little water. Let the drops work briefly in the mouth to allow the bitter substances to unfold. HerbiGOLD is particularly suitable before hearty meals, while traveling, or if you want to consciously integrate bitter substances into your diet.
The alcohol (33% by volume) serves as a natural carrier for the plant-based bitter substances. It dissolves both fat-soluble and water-soluble ingredients and preserves the formula without additives or preservatives. Due to the small consumption amount (10–30 drops), the ingested alcohol quantity is minimal.
Yes, HerbiGOLD is safe when following the recommended dosage (10–30 drops daily). You can flexibly adjust the dosage within this range to suit your needs – some prefer 10 drops, others up to 30 drops. At 30 drops (approx. 1.5 ml), you consume about 0.5 ml of pure alcohol, which is a very small amount.
Important: Due to the alcohol content (33% by volume), the recommended daily amount should not be exceeded. HerbiGOLD is not to be used by risk groups (see FAQ: ‘Who should NOT use HerbiGOLD?’).
HerbiGOLD has a semi-dry, spicy-bitter taste with slightly sweet hints from licorice and warming notes of galangal and anise. The more unusual the bitter taste seems at first, the more your body benefits from it – over time, the taste is perceived as pleasant and balancing.
HerbiGOLD contains 33% alcohol by volume and is therefore not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, children, adolescents, and people with alcohol problems. In cases of chronic illnesses or medication intake, we recommend consulting your doctor or therapist.
Yes, you can dilute HerbiGOLD with some still water, which softens the intense taste. It is important to keep the drops in your mouth for a short time so that the bitter substances can take effect through the oral mucosa. Some also enjoy HerbiGOLD pure, as a mindful moment before eating.
HerbiGOLD is made from 14 herbs from controlled wild growth and filtered through a gold sieve – for a clear, mildly bitter taste without harsh bitterness.
