Gentian General Information
For reasons unknown, the most bitter plants have the capacity to stimulate the appetite, and Gentian ranks very high on the scale of bitterness. Gentiopicrin and amarogentin are the two constituents that make it so bitter. Traditional European herbalists believe that bitter herbs, taken over a long period of time, strengthen the digestive system; however in Chinese medicine, Gentian is regarded as an intense herb that should seldom be taken over the long term. It is hard to say which is right, but as a cautionary measure, it is recommended this herb be used on a short term basis.
