Maria's Swedish Bitters (Alcohol)

The modern diet is often lacking in one of its four cornerstones - bitter foods. Bitterness plays an important role in digestion, stimulating bile production, breaking down fats, lessening feelings of fullness or gas, and promoting regularity. Maria's Swedish Bitters, developed by Austrian herbalist Maria Treben, is a natural tonic that blends traditional herbs that have bitter laxative effects, anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic effects, cooling anti-microbial actions and warming, blood circulating effects for an overall tonic, strengthening effect on digestive health. No refrigeration required and long shelf life make it perfect for first aid kits.
