The use of bitter herbs is an evolved taste, which aids digestion and will reduce food sensitivities, leaky gut syndrome, and autoimmune reactions. Bitter herbs promote healthy bowel regularity and reduce bowel restrictions such as constipation. As previously mentioned, bitters have long been used in aiding digestion and stimulating an appetite. Other incredible benefits of these herbs are that they release digestive enzymes from the pancreas, duodenum, and liver that aid with digestion and removing toxins from the body, and they also stimulate the smooth muscle of the stomach to increase the rate of emptying the stomach to prevent vomiting.

Bitters have also been proven to regulate the secretion of the pancreatic hormones that help to regulate the body’s blood sugar, insulin, and glucagon levels, and bitters also help with repairing tears in the gut wall. Bitters are part of a holistic approach to health, which utilizes plants to combat illness, promote healing and instill balance in the body.
