Continue ShoppingOur ancestors generally consumed a diet that included ample bitter herbs and vegetables, which helped them maintain efficient digestive systems. By including bitter foods in their diet, they maintained the balanced functioning of the digestive organs. Poor digestion, so common now, was foreign to them. Despite having four different taste buds on the surface of our tongues to discern taste (sour, sweet, salty and bitter), today’s modern diet is virtually void of bitter substances. Bitters have beneficial effects on the body’s organs and systems as they stimulate the salivary glands and activate the mucosa to secrete more fluid to soothe the gastrointestinal tract while stimulating the liver to produce more gall for better digestion. Bitters also stimulate the release of digestive juices from the pancreas.
