Gentian root

The Gentiana lutea plant, which has deep roots and yellow blooms, is the source of gentian root. The tea may have a pleasant flavor at first, but it soon becomes bitter. Some people love it blended with honey and chamomile tea. Gentian root has long been used in herbal teas and medicines intended to treat bloating, gas, and other digestive problems.

Gentian root extract is also utilized in digestive bitters. Gentian includes bitter plant chemicals, including as iridoids and flavonoids, that promote the production of digestive fluids and bile to aid in the breakdown of meals, perhaps alleviating bloating. However, the tea has not been studied in people, and it is not recommended if you have an ulcer since it might increase stomach acidity. As a result, additional investigation is required. Use 1/4-1/2 teaspoon (1-2 grams) dried gentian root per cup (240 ml) boiling water to prepare the tea. Allow to steep for 10 minutes.
