Original Bitters

Description

We love to offer effective products that we have been using forever to deal with simple digestive issues that become more problematic with aging.  The billion dollar antacid industry doesn’t want you to know that the symptom of acid reflux occurs from both low acid production and also too much hydrochloric production and as we age 95% of people decline in digestive acid production.  The acid reflux arises from the fermentation of sugars from carbohydrates or other foods which result in uncomfortable never ending burping of gas and the pain from bloating.  Some people can have more serious consequences when the gas bloating irritates the Vagus nerve which results in heart arrhythmias and palpitations.  Two simple remedies can prevent the potential for digestive fomentation depending on the symptoms.  If acid reflux is coming up in a burning in the throat and chest then diluted apple cider vinegar 50/50 with water before or after a meal can stimulate more hydrochloric acid production to digest the foods more efficiently.

Old World Solution

The other solution that prevents the gas fomentation and bloating is using a bitter tonic diluted in water before or after a meal to produce almost immediate relief.  We offer you one of the best quality bitters by the famous herbalist David Winston called Original Bitters. with natures finest ingredients of:  Dandelion root, Gentian root, Artichoke leaf, Angelica root, Orange peel and Peppermint.  These extracts are emulsified in an Ethyl alcohol and distilled water medium (recovering alcoholics. may not want to use).    The 2oz bottle is ideal to travel around with and includes the eye dropper applicator.   A couple of squirts into a few ounces of water is usually all it takes to get relief.  Bitter tonics is ingrained into most cultures as a simple and necessary digestive aid, especially in Europe where you have 100’s of makers from ancient secret recipes.   Many cultures like Italian and Spanish with heavy meals have adopted the aperitif cocktail before meals that are popular in sidewalk cafes.  Some of the more popular brands are Campari and Aperol and mixed with club soda or Prosecco sparkling wines.  This may be a good habit when eating at Italian restaurants.  Other bitter after dinner cordials like Punt Mes and Fernet Branca are pleasant to sip after meals.

We recommend experimenting with various dosages depending on the degree of discomfort until you know what amount will suffice to recover quickly.  We know this works because we have used it for over 40 years.
