Description:

Gentiana lutea is remarkable for the intense bitterness of the root and every part of the herbage.
It comes from a large genus of plants that typically grows in the mountain climates of Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
Before the introduction of hops, gentian was used occasionally in brewing.
The name is a tribute to Gentius, an Illyrian king who was thought to have found out that the herb had tonic properties.
Gentian root is an herb that has been used for medicinal purposes for centuries.
It’s used for digestion problems such as loss of appetite, bloating, diarrhea, and heartburn. It is also used for fever and to prevent muscle spasms.
In France it is used to produce a number of bitter liqueurs.

Making tea: Pour half a teaspoon of chopped root in a cup of water and boil for 5 minutes. Drink it hot 20 minutes before each meal.

Remember: Herbs are not a substitute for medicine. For their best and safe use it is better to consult your doctor.
