If you’ve ever wondered what bitters actually are, they are generally made made from herbs, bark, roots, and fruit. The bitters we are talking about are the same ones that you may find in your favourite cocktail, however, in the case of using them to boost your immune system, the execution is a bit different. Bitter herbs are used as a tonic, a digestive aid, and also to help assimilate food. They can stimulate our digestive systems to function at their peak by increasing the production of digestive juices and the dispatch of stored bile (necessary for fat digestion and sugar metabolism) from the gallbladder to the small intestine after meals, thus aiding nutrient assimilation. HealthLine provides an excellent recipe for bitters featuring seven powerful herbs and spices to get that immune system back into is proper working order.
