Gentian Root | Potent Bitter & Appetite Stimulant
The Remedy:
Gentian Root (Gentiana lutea)—also known as Yellow Gentian and in Spanish Raíz de Genciana—is one of the most powerful bitter herbs traditionally used to stimulate appetite, digestion, bile flow, and nutrient absorption. Rich in iridoid bitters (gentiopicroside, amarogentin), gentian activates digestive secretions and supports efficient breakdown and assimilation of food.
Commonly used to support poor appetite, sluggish digestion, bloating, gas, nausea, liver and gallbladder function, and low stomach acid, gentian root helps restore digestive strength and metabolic readiness.
Enjoyed as a tea, tincture, capsule, or digestive blend, gentian root delivers deep bitter stimulation for digestive resilience and appetite support.
