Latin name: Gentiana Lutea
Origin Country: France
Gentiana lutea L., commonly known as yellow gentian, is a perennial herb native to the mountainous regions of central and southern Europe, particularly the Alps and the Balkans. It belongs to the Gentianaceae family and is renowned for its bright yellow flowers and large, robust roots. Yellow gentian root powder has a very strong, intensely bitter flavour. Because of its extreme bitterness, yellow gentian root powder is often used in small amounts in digestive bitters, and liqueurs.
Benefits:
– Yellow gentian is known for its powerful bitter properties, which stimulate the production of digestive enzymes and bile.
– It is often used as a natural remedy to stimulate appetite, making it beneficial for people recovering from illness or those with a lack of appetite.
– The bitter compounds in Gentiana lutea may support liver function and gallbladder function.
– Yellow gentian has been traditionally used to strengthen the immune system, helping the body fight off infections and illnesses.
– Gentian root can help alleviate nausea.
Infusion: half a teaspoon (1 gram) of dried gentian root with 150 ml of boiling water and allow 5 to 10 minutes to steep.
To prepare cold: add half a teaspoon of gentian root (1 gram) to 2 glasses of water, allow 8 hours to steep, and drink the extract 30 minutes before meals.
To balance the appetite, drink a cup of cold or moderately warm tea half an hour before meals, if you have digestive problems after meals. Daily dose should not exceed 2 to 4 grams of gentian root. Only dried gentian should be used as the fresh gentian can cause nausea.
– Yellow gentian root is considered safe in moderate amounts.
– However, because of its intense bitterness, gentian can sometimes cause nausea or stomach discomfort and diarrhoea especially if taken on an empty stomach or in large doses.
– Gentian is generally not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women due to insufficient research.
