Flora Maria's Swedish Bitters, 100 mL

Maria's Swedish Bitters is Flora's alcohol-free version of the herbal tonic developed by Austrian herbalist Maria Treben. It is a water-based extract of thirteen bitter and aromatic herbs, among them angelica root, zedoary, cape aloe, manna, rhubarb root, senna, myrrh, carline thistle, camphor, valerian root, cinnamon, cardamom and saffron, with citric acid and nothing else.

Bitter tastes have long had a place at the table, and these herbs have been used for generations to help ease digestion. Many people take a small measure in water before or after a meal. It is strong and unmistakably bitter, so expect a face the first time. It comes in a 100 mL bottle.

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 been used for generations to fill the bitter void and ease digestion.
