Gentian


(Gentiana lutea) Part used: Root. Properties: Cholagogue, stomachic, tonic, anthelmintic. What it affects: Stomach, liver, blood, spleen and circulation.

Preparation and amount: Decoction: Simmer 5-15 min. Take 1/4 - 1 tsp. 3 times daily to 1/2 - 1 cup daily. Tincture: Take 1/2 - 2 tsp. 3 times daily. Fluid extract:  1/4 – 1/2 tsp. 3 times daily. Powder: Take 2-4 # capsules (10-30 grains) 3 times daily.

Purposes: Internally, gentian primarily works on the liver and stomach. Because it is a bitter tonic herb, it quickens intestinal action and tends to overcome slow digestion. It improves the appetite, increases digestion, and improves circulation. It is good for pancreatitis, female problems, slow urination, colds and gout.

Note: Because of its bitterness, combine gentian with aromatic herbs, such as ginger, peppermint sassafras, spearmint, or wood betony.
